This second-generation reggae outfit, consisting of numerous offspring of reggae star Derrick Morgan, formed in the mid-1990s and have released several studio and live releases that have progressively gotten more rootsy, less pop. This 2008 offering continues the trend, offering assertive melodies, tuff raps, skilled vocal harmonies, and most importantly, a decidedly Rasta world view.
Uncut (p.93) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Mostly successful, the bulk of its tracks foreground propulsive hip hop rhythms and rock instrumentation."
The Beat (Magazine) (p.8) - "This is perhaps the band's most serious release and it takes an uncompromising look at society and struggle."
