this track comes of a project assembled by the wall of sound label with the simple concept of putting together a jamaican deejay, singjay or singer and an english-based producer who either do more electronic stuff. the riddims become different in perspective but they did/do come off like modern jamaican dancehall.
there are a number of great collaborations including the tanya stephens/prassay cut on "enuff 4 u" with it's oldschool ragga hiphop throwback and the ce'cile & general degree/jacques lu cont collaboration on "na na na na" with it's suspencebuilding beat. the lucious ska-like collab of big youth & west london deep on "rudie no" is another killer track.
and this one with ward 21 and kid606 which on paper had me thinking of something more crazy but it's certainly bumping. kid606 tones down his glitch and various modulation techniques for this one but pack in a beefy bass.
listen closely you hear some of his sonical trickery in the back but on top you have ward 21 mashing it up in their usual style. it's a very banging tune and ever since i found this compo i've been hooked to this tune and i'm not going to stop liking it any time soon.

i have to point out that there are number of lacklustre tracks including the spragga benz/roni size one and the bling dawg/city hi-fi track.
