A REAL LIVE DANCEHALL PARTY on the beaches of Negril, Jamaica. A friendly confrontation between Yellowman, the albino international reggae star, known for his
"slackness", and Charlie Chaplin, "Mr. Cultural Roots." RECORDED LIVE ON A 24 TRACK MOBILE UNIT.
This is a casual "make it up on the spot" evening before a friendly and responsive audience. This "in your face" live encounter is really unique amongst reggae recordings.
"This is one of the greatest party albums to come out of Jamaica. This duo perform before a SRO crowd of their core fans and 'let loose' with no concern for major label crossover." - Amy Watchel "The Night Nurse"
"A party-style evening of showmanship and roots captured to perfection."- CMJ
"Two of Jamaica's leading dub deejays caught live in a Battle of the Mouths at the legendary dee-jay style dub club. Kind of deep chill Jamaica rap music. The audience is having fun." - John Strasbaugh, Baltimore City Paper
"Hardcore fans of toasting will dig it." - Option
"In the ruff, tuff world of dancehall reggae, this pair are definitely Messrs. Nasty and Nice." - Select UK
"An authoritive slice of life, as the listener becomes part of and a witness to the casual banter of these two contrasting yet equally talented DJ's. Albino reggae toaster Yellowman parlayed his unusual looks and talent into overall success." - Guinness Who's Who of Reggae
"A live celebration. Two of dancehalls premier toasters. Few can mash it as well as they can in that style. Good quality. A night of ribaldry."- Reggae and African Beat
"Yellowman almost single-handedly created the coarse, crude and fearlessly direct sound of today's dancehall. He enjoys a large following among white American college students who obviously see a kindred "party-hearty" spirit in Yellow." - Reggae Routes

This CD rocks! A happening from Negril Jamaica.
author: BrighterStar Music Productions, Vt USAI like this CD a lot. It makes me feel like I am right there in Negril at the Treehouse along with Yellowman and Charlie. I like it when Yellowman dedicates Blueberry Hill to the ladies of the house. He says that some people say that Yellowman can't sing but this song disproves that theory. The song comes off as smooth as a cold red stripe on a hot Negril day! The band, Sagitarius, is awesome too. Love that sound!!
