ALBUM DESCRIPTION
In the vein of Dancehall Baptism and the Yow series comes another righteous dancehall reggae compilation to satisfy your appetite for hardcore sanctified island sounds. Brought to you by Lion of Judah Sounds, and under the tutelage of Monty G, and DJ Frost, this album has a strong line up of your favorite Lion of Judah artists. Featured are big names such as Monty G, Sherwin Gardner, Mr. Lynx and more, as well as some new up and coming talents like Dan-jah-rus, Jireh and Mention.
Although the album is primarily dancehall there are also some standard hip hop riddims and a whole-heap of fighting down Satan. Two of the songs on this project were previously featured on Raggamuffin hip hop, "Leaning," as well as the DJ Frost remix.
With cut after cut of phat booming tracks for Jesus, some stand out tunes are the vegas-like "Hands Wave" by Mr. Lynx, the big in-your-face, Eye of the Tiger driven "Leaning" by Monty G, and Sherwin Gardner, "No Weapon" by Beloved (whom with this hit has a very similar sound to Richie Stephens), and "Ready" by Monty G, among others.
A few songs from some of the new comers unfortunately lack the energy and control of the greats, however, one can easily detect the talent and ability to grow into their own amazing sound.
Lyrically this album is unquestionably inspired by God, and is an amazing compilation of worship, testimony, edification and prayer. A must have for all gospel dancehall and reggae collections. Lion of Judah Sounds once again bus' out a tough productions keeping them depon di top!
