Added 02/07/09: The tradition of verbal clashes is part of black music’s history and can be traced back to the earliest documentation of black music in America. Pressure Sounds’ recent Once Upon A Time At King Tubby’s CD collected the tit for tat recordings of I Roy and Prince Jazzbo and of course the sound system world is a world of “clashes”. Deejay Beenie Man has, amongst others perfected the art in the contemporary dancehall scene, and this box set collects four previously released albums featuring the man at war with his arch nemesis Bounty Killer as well as with fellow deejays Spragga Benz and Mad Cobra, while the last set with Dennis Brown and Triston Palmer finds the verbal pugilist in conciliatory mood.
