ALBUM DESCRIPTION
It's been over two years since gospel reggae fans have had a full length Monty G release to blaze their speakers... Finally the wait is over! As he prepares to release his next album, "Along Life's Road," Monty has given his fans just enough to tide them over. On his new "No Stoppin' Mixtape," Monty G has compiled a mix of brand new tracks and previously released singles into one smooth set.
With a full seventeen songs, Monty flows effortlessly through several different genres: from dancehall to hip-hop to roots and everything in between. Songs such as "No Stoppin'," "Nuff Heights," and "Can't Hold Me," are bangin' combinations of hip-hop and dancehall, chock full of rumbling bass and sharp snare hits. "Christian Soldiers," however, wins the honor of the CD's best hip-hop/dancehall hybrid with a stellar contribution from St. Matthew.
For straight dancehall fans, "Who Dem Wan Dis?" featuring Yankee is a sure-fire favorite. Over the same riddim that Sean Paul used for his "We Be Burnin'" single, Yankee and Monty G deliver energetic flows in militant defense of the Word of God. This song is pure, undiluted dancehall fire!
Lovers of Monty G's rootsy sing-jay style should make sure to check out "Who Shall Lead" and "We Shall Overcome," (which was first featured on the Return of the Overcomers Soundtrack). Both songs showcase Monty's raspy-yet-smooth flow over melodic roots riddims. These songs should especially satisfy fans of Monty's last full-length release, "Until Life."
Monty G's "No Stoppin' Mixtape," is an excellent combination of everything we've come to expect from Lion of Judah's premiere artist/producer. With a great mix of riddims and signature flows, every song showcases a different side of Monty G's diverse talent. Make sure to grab a copy of this hot new release today!
