If you've never heard any of these songs before, then this version of VP's celebrated compilation series might actually be a 5 to you, however, some of the tunes (i.e. Log On by Elephant Man, which isn't bad) have made the rounds on this year's compilation circuit already.But what can I say about this album? There are 16 cuts, only one bad song (Cuss Cuss by Dillgin & Mark Ice). There's the massive Can You Do the Work? by Cecile and Sean Paul, which might be the single best song I've heard all year, there's the nice big commercial rhythms (Rice and Peas and Liquid) there's the high profile combination of artists (Cecile and Sean Paul, and Elephant Man and Spragga Benz) and you have the unkown artists breaking out big (Warrior King on the wonderful Virtuous Woman, who sounds lyrically somewhat like Turbulence). And by the way, check out Mind Over Matter by Kalonji and Mr. Nine by Buju, both terrific cuts, and Anthony B's song Equal Rights as well.Overall, its a good album, even better if you don't have too many compilations from this year already. but even if you do, there are a few good songs here that you can't get anywhere else that make this worth a buy.
