Purification Session is NiyoRahs follow-up album to 2005s critically acclaimed debut, A Different Age. Just as the concepts of A Different Age were based around the inevitable processes of change, this new album explores the many sides of purification of self, of love, of body, of spirit, of community and of the earth. NiyoRahs profound yet easily accessible lyrics touch the listener with their clarity and urgency. From the intensity of the opening song, Nothing to Prove, one gets the feeling that this artist is about much more than simply making good music he is on a mission to educate, inspire and share the lessons of purification.
Purification Session was jointly produced by three cutting-edge production units I Grade, Lustre Kings and Zion High. Lustre Kings, responsible for such albums as Turbulences debut, The Future and Lutan Fyahs debut, Time and Place, produced 3 songs on the album, including the scorching singles, Kick Up and I Love the Way. Zion High Productions offer 4 outstanding riddims to the album, including the soundscape for the aforementioned, Nothing to Prove and the classic roots tunes Globe All Warming and There for You. I Grade musicians & producers Tippy I, Kenyatta Itola, Abja, Blackfoot, Tuff Lion and Vaughn Benjamin produced and arranged the remainder of the album, contributing such soon-to-be-classic tunes as Special Request, Inner Light and Lion Have Mane a blazing collaboration tune with Midnites Vaughn Benjamin.
As the word of NiyoRahs unique artistry traverse the globe, more and more people are becoming familiar with his infectious energy and intense lyrics. His outstanding recordings, along with recent touring with the I Grade Showcase tour (see www.viroots.com for tour dates), have helped propel NiyoRah to the forefront of the modern roots movement.
