Finally the Killa has returned with an album worthy of his name. After the disappointing Next Millenium, I was concerned that the ill-advised foray into dancehall/rap fusion would continue. I have nothing against that kind of experimentation, just do it well, and don't let it distract you from making solid tracks for the top shottas as well... ANYWAY, this album is a welcome return to Bounty's roots - pure dancehall. Granted, if you've been buying mixtapes in the last year, you've heard many of these tracks already, but nevertheless they are all about what Bounty does well - social commentary mixed with blazing production and the frequent proclamation of himself as the #1 deejay pon de scene. Bounty makes numerous references to corruption amongst Jamaica politicians and police, reminiscent of his strongest tracks from days gone by. Even when he breaks out the gun talk lyrics, they are used more to describe the reality of life in his home district of Seaview, and other areas of Kingston and Jamaica, than as an invitation for listeners to embrace slackness... All in all, a relief and a pleasure to see the poor people governor back. Incidentally, try to find a copy of the album which includes the bonus track "Look" (banned by government-run Jamaican radio) - one of the best tracks on the album.

this new album was well putt together, and is a must have. Killer made sure that he had different styles for everyone and he made sure that he made all the moves he needed to make to get the album out. this album will reach "gold' status in a few weeks, its getting much love and will continue to get love jah guide

This is truly worth getting if you are any type of dancehall fan. Bounty is no doubt the leader of the dancehall scene and he proves it with this album. This one is a pure reggae LP. Fifth element includes the hit "Look" on the bug riddin' which is banned in Jamaica. Also Anytime and Mr. Wanna Be which you could pump up the volume when you listen. Also for the conscious minded, there are couple tracks with Barrington Levy and Junior Reid. Trust me, this album is worth it, was well worth the wait since Millenium.

Yes, this is one CD that is quite possibly Eric Serra's best work and thank god, he got a film that fits his unique style of music perfectly. I must admit, I listen to Ruby Rap about 40 times before I became bored and moved to the next song. This CD has a orchestra and techno-mix with it. Don't understand? Well, imaging a nice orchestra mixed with some nice techo beats and a great flow of pure genius. He never fails to make a soundtrack that is great with the movie and great to listen to. I won't lie to you, I'm very proud to have this in my vast collection of music. In fact, it's number one on my list right now and I've had this CD for 2 years now. So, do yourself a favor and buy it, because your not reading this review just for the hell of it..are you? Your thinking about buying it so your reading the reviews. So buy it and listen to it and enjoy it.

the cd is good.that is the best way to describe it
