The best album available from
Super Cat
, one of Jamaica's hottest
dancehall
artists of the '90s (best known in the U.S. as "that guy that talks fast in the
Sugar Ray
song"). There are a couple of guest appearances made by
Heavy D
, to the credit of the album. The recurring ability of the songs to consistently provide a simple groove for
to fervently
rap
over the top of is amazing, and the virtuosity with which he can constantly provide the necessary vocal concoctions is noteworthy. As is necessary for any current (or near current)
album, there's a certain level of gun talk and slackness involved. For anyone who's interested in the
scene of the '90s (
Shabba Ranks
,
Ninjaman
Cutty Ranks
, etc.), this album would be a good addition to the collection. For others, there might be other notable albums to pick up first --
Shabba
's albums, or maybe
Rhino
's
Mash Up the Place
compilation. ~ Adam Greenberg
