"After releasing perhaps the best reggae album of 2005, Taj Weekes returns with an early candidate for the best of '08 in DEIDEM... It's smart, inspirational, musically vibrant, and just plain gorgeous. No reggae fan can afford not to know Taj Weekes."
REGGAE REVIEWS

"After the breakthrough of his debut album HOPE & DOUBT, Taj Weekes was no longer the best kept secret on the indie reggae scene... With his sophomore release DEIDEM, Weekes draws from his sonic cauldron a music that is as revolutionary as it is evolutionary."
BOB MARLEY MAGAZINE

"Taj Weekes and Adowa make for a powerful combination on DEIDEM (Jatta). Minor-key grooves a la early Wailers add punch to Weekes' distinctive tenor and songs like the contemplative "Angry Language," "Dark Clouds" and "Propaganda War" return us to the days of poetic lyrics, social outcry and seasoned reasoning."
THE BEAT

"...as a reggae artist, Taj Weekes has the full package... If you like old school roots the way it used to be, but don't like it to sound self consciously "retro" - Taj Weekes is your man. One of 2008's best releases from outside Jamaica so far."
