Words

Whether I liked it or not, Dancehall was a mainstay in the various vehicles of my Bay Area youth. For an individual like myself, who preferred the harshest rap, metal, jungle and techno the world had to offer, a large portion of the islander riddims were too tame for my taste. One artist who left me with nothing to complain about though was three decade deep Dancehall MC, Tiger. His signature growl of a delivery leaps off the record like a slap in the face, and coupled with a pummeling 909, forces your most base human instincts to rise to the surface. At the end of last year, and not a second too soon, Honest Jon's and Hard Wax's joint label Dug Out rereleased this tune on 7" vinyl.
