NASSIR Posted December 12, 2007 Let me share with you this great album. I just happened to listen to a sample of his songs and they sound great. Gulled Ahmed: Rising Star By Mowlid Omar December 11, 2007 Gulled, is a native of Somalia who now lives in Houston, Texas. He is 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 talent of rapping, reggae and soulful tunes bringing together. The "ADAMOW" means "Man Kind”. Most songs are a mix of more than a little dancehall and reggae into his hip-hop style. The hard lyrics come from a hard life, which include the endless civil war of his country Somalia. Early this year, Gulled had the excellent opportunity to reconfirm his talent by releasing a 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 creativity through other artists such as Samatar, Cigaal, and Jubba. The album was released Eid day in North America, and it 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 looks like? To answer this question, the album release party was held in Safari restaurant at downtown Minneapolis on 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 a copycat artist whose songs are mapped out for him - he comes up with new style and new lyrics 100 percent. Gulled also understands that as a young Somali making urban music is a responsibility to fans, he said, “With this album I thought it is important not to use a bias words or negative language that might offend people”. Gulled creates an urgent appeal "music with a message" because his whole life and existance 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 of the songs in the album were written by Salah Nur Donyaale who is in the same age bracket as Gulled and who is a very talented young man. I believe he got the 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' carries a unique and very ambitious content that tries to review the history of Somalia, with the urge to dissociate from its curse, and improving, changing, and raising its 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 be accepted. He will continue to be a phenomenon to us. If any one had doubts about the natural, creative talent of Gulled, there was the concrete proof! A booming success!!! The album “ADAMOW” is available in stores near you or you can visit www.myspace/gulledmusic.

Baashi Posted December 12, 2007 Rajo lyrics and intro music as well are off the hook. Bit long other than that it is pretty neat. Gulled should try acoustic guitar next time. Have you guys had the pleasure of listening the great composer Qarshe legacy songs (acoustic guitar). There is Somali album titled Somali Republic Freedom Songs in iTunes. Pretty tight I tell you. Costs only $0.99 a song and as you may already know you can sample them before you actually buy the song. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NASSIR Posted December 14, 2007 fatboy, no I am not what you assume I am. I just wanted to share with you the good songs of this new artist. Baashi thanks for the suggestion. Rajo(Hope) is indeed off the hook and Kow Labo Kow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kool_Kat Posted December 14, 2007 ^Maskiin sanidaa...Hadaa aqoon xataa, tell him what he wants to hear...Waa ina hebel hebel waaye, Sanaag xafadaas uu ka dagaan, waa ina adeerkey...lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NASSIR Posted December 14, 2007 Kool Kat, I would have busted him with that obtuse, playful statement, but I don't oftentimes act as regional chauvinist. I know the producer of most of Guled's songs, Salah Nur. Salah is a member of SOL, but I won't reveal him though, but appreciate the fact that he is one of the valued contributors of SOL.

Original and meaningful lyrics that deal with current issues, good voice and if that image isn't photo shopped, he has the looks too. I love Hooyo. and Difaaca Dhulkiina U diida Tigirey. Nur Salah-ow if you're reading nin rag ah aad tahay. :cool: Thank you and keep up the good work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
