For fans of classic dancehall , the
Dancehall 101 series proves to be an indispensable tool for hard to find cuts.
Dancehall 101, Vol. 3 boasts both the rare gems as well as the more ubiquitous singles found on other compilations. The opening track,
Musical Youth's bubblegum hit "Pass the Dutchie," and
Mad Cobra's "Flex" are examples of the more commonly heard tunes. As crossover hits, both tunes ruled airwaves on and off Jamaica. Hardcore fans will appreciate offerings such as
Junior Cat's "Iron Gloves" and
Red Dragon's "Yu Body Good," which didn't climb any charts but are classic dancehall scorchers. ~ Rosalind Cummings-Yeates
