ALBUM DESCRIPTION

Released Dec 17, 2007

Minister Goddy Goddy greatly exceeds everyone's expectations with his third studio offering, "Ghetto Priest." This time around, Goddy has grown so much as an artist and producer and delivers an album that is in a league of its own.

It's hard to find a weak spot on the album and that's saying a lot given the plethora of songs. Replete with 21 mind-blowing tracks, this LP is solid from beginning to end. It is a virtual all-you-can-eat buffet of gospel dancehall that is sure to satisfy even the most critical fan.

Upon first listen I was shocked at how much this artist has grown in terms of vocals, production and lyrical flow. While he may bear the same name, he is not the same old Goddy Goddy that we have grown to love--he is new and improved! There are a bunch of big tunes on this disc such as the sobering "Evil Minds", the contagious "Christian a Christian", the Militant "Warn Dem", the cartoon-like "Satan Mek Mi So It" and the aggressive "Bind Dem".

While many of the tracks on this incredible project are pure Jamaican dancehall, there are also some rootsy cuts such as "Let Jah People Go" featuring newcomer Dahlia Ashley. Other noteworthy songs include the culture stylings of "So Right," over Bob Marley's "Waiting in Vain" riddim, "Lift Him Up" Featuring Crissy D and Ryan Mark, "A Fi Go A Heaven" backed by the Katalys Crew and the explosive "What Can I Say?" with roots crooner Mr. Danny. This disc also includes several other animated collaborations with artists such as Omar, Kerryann Pinnock, Kareen and Prophecy.

This album was executive produced by Minister Goddy Goddy (AKA Howard Reynolds) and released on his own imprint. Three of the tracks were produced by Goddy himself. For the rest of the songs he brought in a diverse set of skilled producers such as Dale "Dr. Dizzle" Virgo, Danny Brownie, Paul Barclay, Patrick Blaire, Canute Niel Ellis and Jermaine Edwards.

Overall, this is an excellent package; from the photos to the artwork, the producing to the songwriting and the vocals to the guest appearances, this dancehall epic has everything that I hope for when I buy a dancehall album--and a whole lot more! Buy your copy today. You will love it!
