Sizzla
's success is no mystery. He is a lightning-tongued DJ who can ride a rhythm and spout creative rhymes with the best of the
dancehall
chatters, and while he's no crooner, he is a better-than-average singer who presents his Bobo Dread beliefs with an appealing combination of rootswise devotion and gruff, aggressive certainty. And ever since attaching himself to
Fattis Burrell
's acclaimed
Xterminator
crew, he has done so to the accompaniment of the best
dancehall
and
neo-roots
rhythms available. This very useful two-disc best-of gives a good overview of
Sizzla
's work since the mid-'90s. Interestingly, the program de-emphasizes somewhat the gleeful depictions of fiery Babylonian destruction and the fierce homophobia that are typical of so many Bobo Dread albums (including
Sizzla
's) in favor of more generally palatable songs addressing broader issues of faith (
"No Other Like Jah,"
"Show Us the Way"
) and upright behavior (
"Good Ways,"
"Love Is Always There"
). Still, the preachiness would be harder to take if the rhythms weren't so consistently great and if he weren't such a talented singer. The combination tracks are a mixed bag; there are only two, and one (
"Jah Blessing,"
featuring
Luciano
) is wonderful, while the other (
"King in the Jungle,"
with a whiny
Jah Cure
) is bearable. Highly recommended overall. ~ Rick Anderson, All Music Guide
