Tiger - Shocking Colour


A contribution from Armando

Even by ragga deejay standards, Tiger's style is far from harmonious, usualy provoking wild animal metaphors appropiate to his name. But while he doesn't say a great deal other than the expected self-aggrandizement, you should listen to how one of the most inventive and original deejays says it. "Boom Bastic" (his cut of "Who She Love") is the only big hit included, but the same standard is kept for all the tracks.

This is a special album for me as it is one of the very first dancehall albums I ever bought....
