| Beenie Man - Bossman CD [Empire] |
 |
Here Beenie Man has linked up with two of the biggest acts in the Jamaican reggae scene - Lady Saw and Sean Paul who is currently on just about everything from this, to Blu Cantrell and Beyonce. This track definitely shows you what the best can get up to when combined. The track rides a riddim that will be familiar to anyone who checks dancehall. It is yet another Neptunes production and here they turn their hand to a different genre and pull off the conversion very successfully. The Neptunes clues are here like the classic distorted keyboard sound that comes up on many of their productions. Apart from the gentle rolling piano chords in the background, the occasional Spanish guitar and Hip Hop style beat the main thing about this tack is the simple high whistle type tone which rises in pitch in a very distinctive way. Beenie Man opens, with Lady Saw and Sean Paul each following as only each can. Lady Saw shows as she has done in the past that she can more than hang with the best and delivers a vitriolic demolition of any mans ego. Sean Paul for his omnipresence at the moment still sounds fresh, but really it is the undeniable hard edge of the three performers over a classic riddim that make this track a real banger.
