Not as even as predecessors like Truths and Rights, but has some good moments. There's more than enough examples of I Roy's elementaryish rhymes; kids could jump rope to "Sister Nelly" and "Tiddele Bop," two humorous numbers that I Roy must have spent hours on in order to get the rhymes tight. The reading level of his lyrics rises on "Move Up Rasta Man," "Jordan River," and "Peace in the City," the first two in particular show advance poetic skills. A strong reggae skank, provided by guitarist Earl "Chinna" Smith, underlines every track. Far from classic, but one fans will want in their collection.

Album review
Not as even as predecessors like Truths and Rights, but has some good moments. There's more than enough examples of I Roy's elementaryish rhymes; kids could jump rope to "Sister Nelly" and "Tiddele Bop," two humorous numbers that I Roy must have spent hours on in order to get the rhymes tight. The reading level of his lyrics rises on "Move Up Rasta Man," "Jordan River," and "Peace in the City," the first two in particular show advance poetic skills. A strong reggae skank, provided by guitarist Earl "Chinna" Smith, underlines every track. Far from classic, but one fans will want in their collection.
