   Chuck Fenda (AKA Chuck Fender) is a solid, if obscure, singjay in the vein of Anthony B. or Sizzla.
   ...
   In fact, this is the only real problem with Chuck and his album -- it's a bit too derivative to be very memorable.Frequently throughout the album you'll find yourself thinking that Anthony B.'s had finer moments, and then you'll remember that this isn't Anthony B. This is a serviceable (and at times better than that) singjay album, but it doesn't mark out much territory for itself that you haven't visited before.That said, the album kicks off in fine style with the catchy but serious hook of "Ruff Out Deh" and then the slower, boisterous "Better Days."These tracks establish Mr. Fenda as a charismatic singer with a strong social conscience, and give you reasonably high hopes for the rest of the material.
   ...
   If you're not yet familiar with Chuck Fenda's "Gash Dem," you really owe it to yourself to check out one of the best tunes of 2006.And what better place to do it than on Fenda's eagerly anticipated album The Living Fire?It's an especially great deal considering you also get a pair of other hits: his follow-up "Freedom of Speech" (featured on Biggest Reggae One-Drop Anthems 2006), which addresses the controversy surrounding the banning of his song from radio stations in Jamaica, and the tender duet "Coming Over," featured on Strictly the Best 36. (All three have videos that are included on the CD as well.) Although it's his vitriolic fire-and-brimstone DJ style that helped him rise into the limelight of the reggae scene after years of toiling in relative anonymity, Fenda shows off his soft side on more than one occasion, adapting nicely to the lovers style on "Coming Over," performing a remarkably effective rock guitar ballad (!) with Tanya Stephens on "Child of the Universe," and meditating to the Nyabinghi track "I'm Praying."But who are we kidding?We want to hear the living fire!And does he ever deliver.In fact, I don't think fire codes allow Chuck Fenda and Capleton to be in the same building without sprinklers and fire-retardant clothing handy.
