Riddim Driven - My Baby - Various Artists

Advantages: A great artist, 30 tracks for a fiver!
Disadvantages: None.

...A lot of the songs from Bashy's mixtape has recieved a lot of critism from Sky (channel U) for there being racist remarks within the songs. To be well and truly honest, i still think this is one of the best produced and quality of mixtape around. The songs that are on the mixtape are all new since his last album "Ur Mum Vol. 1" unlike some artists who carry songs over. The Album is set out in different parts and has smaller parts to it such as the "relationships", there are parts 1,2,3 and 4. The best songs on the album in my opinion are: Black Boys, How to pick a wifey!, Ooh Baby and 4 O'Clock. -Black Boys- This song is about the black people who have made something of themselves whether it be in the music business or somewhere else, but the song praises their efforts towards making the world equal. -How to pick a wifey...

Advantages: Different Reggae sound
Disadvantages: All the same to the non reggae lover

...There music is filled with conscious lyrics and a change between soft and hard riddims Jamaican and German made. Never have they made a boring album yet. Very uplifting with many Jamaican artists you would not expect to see on a German album, Jack Radics being one of them.

Now 27-year old German singjay Gentleman - born Tilmann Otto - first left for Jamaica ten years ago. In those days he was a reggae-novice who owned but a couple of reggae records, most of which he had found in his brother's record collection. On the Island, he got to know the rough country life where the living standard is more than poor when you compare it to western countries. A few years later, Europe's culture television channel Arte... Read review

Advantages: Unltimate Booty Shake
Disadvantages: Some songs are out of place!

...Top dancehall tunes to get anybody on the dancefloor - even if you are sober. You can't help youself, you hear the DJ mixing the tunes, the song kicks in and your ass starts moving on it's own. Next thing you know, your in the middle of the dance floor struting your stuff. It really is that good. You do have a few songs on this CD where you think "oh, this is a random tune to put on here". For example, Morning Ride on CD1, it should be on the Summer Riddims compelation. Wayne Wonder-No letting Go on CD1, it belongs on your Now or Hits compelations. You have your had core ragga dancehall tunes and all of a sudden a slow RnB sneaks its way in there, but with this CD you just don't care because the rest just blow you away. There are also a few female artists on there which is great, you can't beat a good female fasty hot gal singing her... Read review
