Here comes Midnite's Ainshant Maps, and they have expanded on their vision with an album that re-defines "rebel music." Midnite manages to make one of the best reggae albums of all time, topping even their own, unbelievably great catalog.
Resistance, rebellion, and rejection of Western philosophy are themes which, if you're familiar with Midnite, should not come as a surprise.
"Ainshant Maps" is musically and rhythmically perfect, and its fueled by the same rage that Marley sung about so long ago. Its consistency puts it over the top. Soulfully mixing elements of roots and dancehall, Vaughn is at the absolute peak of his vocal powers, and brother Ron Benjamin has never produced a musically finer album. Going from smooth one drop roots to more organic sounds, the shift is seamless.
