Gulled, is a native of Somalia who now lives in Houston, Texas. He ?extremely
talented artist; musician, writer of lyrics and soloist, all in one, capable of
astonishing us by his fast, timely and frequent creations of his magical music.
His new album "Adamow" brings a unique triple threat of talent of rapping,
reggae and soulful tunes bringing together. The "ADAMOW" means "Man
Kind?. Most songs are mix more than a little dancehall and reggae into his hip-
hop style. The hard lyrics come from a hard life, which included endless civil
war of his country Somalia.
Early this year, Gulled had the excellent opportunity to reconfirm his talent by
releasing new hit single ?Hooyo?. In the mean time, the expectation of the
public for his new release grew higher and higher. While Gulled continued to
furnish his fans with his creations through other artists such as samatar,
cigaal, and jubba.
The album was released Eid day in North America, album dominated the
market for a long while, and people wondered if Gulled could give away such
a quality work. The question is what would his personal performance look like?
To answer this question, the album release party was held safari restaurant at
downtown Minneapolis 27 October 2007, the party was off the hook. I mean, it
was Hollywood style party.
In my interview I asked Gulled what is his goal? He said, "As an artist, my
whole goal is to make powerful and classic Somali music," Gulled continues, "I
want everyone to feel my music and understand my heritage and where I'm
from and that's what this album will do - my music is all about genuine?.
Gulled wants to make it clear that he is not copycat artist that has the songs
mapped out for him - he comes up with 100 percent of new lyrics. Gulled also
understands that as a young Somali making urban music he has a
responsibility to fans, he said, ?With this album I thought it is important to not
to use a bias words or negative language that might offend people?. Gulled
creates urgent appeal "music with a message" because his whole existence
depends on it.
Such songs "Hagaajiyow" and ?Rajo? with an extraordinary reggae beat, but
with touching words and episodes; It's more than a song, it's something
people raise arms for," explains Gulled" the term "Hagaajiyow" ?actually
means ?"Fixer" and ?Rajo? means ?Hope? ?so when I recorded that in the
studio, I imagined myself being in front of warlords, and I'm communicating
directly to them".
Most song writes salah donyaale same age with gulled and very talented
young man. I believe he got best producer and manager Heykal and
Southside - gulled revealed, ?together we?re a powerful force and I?m ready to
share it with the world".
Finally, the album 'Adamow' is a unique and very ambitious that tries to review
the history of Somalia, with the urge to dissociate from its curse, improving,
changing, and raising the moral standard. Gulled's story is designed to be
long and wonderful, no doubts. He has the modesty, the personality, the
passion to stick to the art, and we wish him that his prayers towards Somalia
will accept. He will continue to phenomenon us. If any one had doubts about
the natural, creative talent of Gulled, there was the concrete proof! A booming
success!!!
