The "Spanish Fly" rhythm, on which all of these 19 tracks are based, is one of the more impressive to be produced by the team of Damian Hall and Nigel Whitfield, and it brings out the best in a wide array of singers and DJs on this unusually winning collection. With its synthesized horns and guitar and its relatively dense, stylized flamenco rhythm, it gives all of the vocalists a lot to work with and most of them take good advantage.
Bounty Killer is irrepressible on the energetic (if gruesome) "Dem Dead"; Macka Diamond delivers a humorous ode to bling-bling titled "Boopsy";
Alozade and Chico team up nicely on a combination track with the banal title "Thug Life";
Ce'Cile continues the theme of the female romantic mercenary with her nicely crafted "Wine & Dine." There's nothing here that's going to change the face of dancehall music anytime soon, but as one-rhythm albums go, this is one of the best this year. ~ Rick Anderson
