You first heard Rayvon's pliant tenor backing Shaggy on the smash single "Angel," and, as befits a singer who played a part in a worldwide, platinum-plus hit, he's now out on his own. His summer-fun solo debut boasts numerous frisky and risqué R&B/reggae romps, many of which extol the virtues (or more accurately, the lack thereof) of the ladies and the nightlife. In fact, the title track, another tired ode to gold diggers, finds our man Ray actually calling his girl a skank. So much for his loverman cred. Lucky for us, moves like that are rare, and the remainder of this rock-steady CD is pulsating, pungent, and pleasing. On the sinewy "In the Wintertime" and the bass-blessed "English Pound," this former sideman grabs the spotlight with style and soul. --Amy Linden

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice & Lovely, July 15, 2002

Yeah, this is a great album...if you know what you're buying. If you're looking for romantic lyrics or deep messages, this is not the place to look them for. This is a party album, to chill, to relax, to enjoy...party music. The beats are dope, a mix between r&b and dancehall, produced by Dave Kelly, Christopher Birch, Shaggy and Sting Intl.

I highly reccomend it to reggae lovers and people who need some music to vibe to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the Wait!!!, July 2, 2002

When I heard the single "2-Way" earlier in the year, I was all set to buy the album, only to be told the release date was pushed back, but finally the album is out and I can tell you that it was well worth the wait. If you are expecting a continuation of Shaggy, you can forget it. Not to take anything from Shaggy but Rayvon's sound is little more slicker and has more of a street edge to it, which is ironic because my favorite joint on this cd is co-produced by Shaggy which is the song "Hit and Run". There is top notch production from one of the best r&b/ragga hitmen Dave Kelly all over this one. Other hot joints on the cd are "My Bad" (the answer to Blu Cantrell's "Hit Em Up Style"), "In the Wintertime", "I'll Die For You" the comical "Damn" and the hot reggae flavor of "Danger Zone". This is a very strong solo debut from Rayvon and,no doubt,one of the best cd's released this year. Peace to the brothers on the Big Yard!!!
