Who Say - Beres Hammond and Buju Banton


From the Buju Banton LP Mr Mention. Buju when he was just a young lad and had yet to find Rastafari and locks up. Check out the natty dresser on the cover, leopard skin, chiffon (sounds like Pat Butcher's wardrobe). On the back you get a full figure shot and can admire Buju's Clarks-style minicab driver sandals with a gold 'B' anklet. That was the style. A little flamboyant perhaps but that was Ragga, the original bling bling.

This duet contrasts Beres Hammond's sweet vocals with Buju's rough and throaty DJ style. Combination tracks were big favourites of mine and there'll be plenty on this compilation....
