Is it hip-hop? Or is it reggae? Well, actually it's both. Even though Frighty & Colonel Mite are more rooted in reggae than rap, they do a fine job of mixing both styles on this pleasant recording...There is a seamlessness that is so engaging, you almost forget about its shortcomings. What makes dancehall styling so intoxicating is its West Indian lilt and spacious rhythms.
