This is a fun enjoyable compilation I stumbled upon, and showcases dancehall and its origins. To describe the dancehall sound, in its modern form is basically a fusion of electro-instrumentation, including synthesizer etc. It is a fusion of electro and deejaying, which is toasting, which is similar to rapping. So if one was interested in rap, they may or may not appreciate dancehall. I think the best standout tracks are ''Who Am I'' by Beenie Man. Beenie Man is immensely talented and I also like the Sanchez track, he is joyous, and his track ''I Can't Wait''. All in all like many classical reggae fans who disapprove of dancehall and think it's basically rubbish, there are some very talented established artists who carried on reggae's premise and ideology into the future, and it is only natural that music evolves, changes and re-invents itself through time.
