It’s always nice when we can give local talent a little boost and for a quality auto-production like 'Shiva Regal', we even take our hat off. 'Shiva Regal', the debut album by Antwerp hip-hop/reggae posse Wahwahsda, meets all our criteria. Yours truly can't remember when he had such fun simply reading the lyrics and viewing the artwork in the liner notes of an album (done by Kevin 'Nu' Toelen). The lyrics of Sput and Spiritually Wally combine humor and seriousness and even some self-criticism is not shunned ('Hold On', 'Alcohol'). Musically speaking fans of Gentleman, Ziggi or YT, will definitely also like this album (recorded in Spiritually Wally's garage). More than convincing debut effort. Respect due!
