"Think hard, do you really want to here your favorite DJ's of old struggling to overcome lame electronic beats? Well, this RAS Records compilation has plenty of it. Don't get me wrong I applaud the idea of giving the greatest toasters in Jamaican music a modern vehicle to display their talents, I just think a little more care should be given to the tracks. Give this same group of DJ's a solid, creative band behind them you'd have a classic, but without-it's not! The disc has cuts by Brigadier Jerry, Dillinger, U Brown, Massive Dread, Trinity, Big Youth, Rankin Joe, Jah Stitch, Jah Micky, Prince Jazzbo, with strong showings by Tappa Zukie(also the album's producer), I Roy, Dennis Alcapone, Scotty and one great track by U Roy & J.C. Lodge/"Satisfy My Soul"."
