When I think about it, I must give LL some credit! If not for longevity, it must be for entertaining this African as a kid. I was a skinny lil' boy in 1990 listening to my Aiwa portable cassette player while LL was trying his utmost best to deafen me with the fact that he's a mommy's boy! Of course I like "Mama Said Knock You Out" but for me the title track was neither here nor there, it was ALL about the" BOOMIN' SYSTEM"! Evoking feelings of childhood glee is a cover of Boomin' System by a gent from the Bay area named Balance. I sport the most uncontrollable grin everytime I hear either version - my cheeks ache real bad. Just so everyone knows where I stand on LL now - Canibus' "2nd Round K.O." is superior to the lame "Ripper Strikes Back"
Obviously, I could not just post the single track for your listening pleasure, so it comes packaged with compilation #07: Boomin' System 2K7...

Some of my favourite Reggae artists feature a number of times on the compilation, like Capleton: the prophet, Sizzla: kalongi, Buju Banton: an arch angel and Beenie Man: girls dem sugar - before Pharrell's grubby hands touched him & messed with his head! :-)
I didn't select them in any particular order, it's just what I've been listening to lately & some that conjure up some fond memories. Hope you enjoy it.

#04: Commercial Break After a nice long break this is compilation #4, I think it's not as fluid as some of the previous ones, but hey, it's fun new-ish music.
Enjoy!

#05: Devoid of Pop! I thought the previous compilations I uploaded were a bit too pop, so I thought I'd go a bit more esoteric with what my boy J-Mozzi may call "real hip-hop" :-)
It's got an interesting mix, I had fun putting this together. Old, new & a couple of surprises.
I hope you enjoy it.
