The cover taken from the Members of the Society of Friends (Quakers) seal design for the
18th century abolitionist movement of a kneeling African man is a powerful draw to coax
the public to listen to the artist's product.I willingly succomed to this and tho the
intrinsic meaning of the seal is irrelevant to the content I throughly enjoyed the music.
La Kaz Papa (Papa Goose) drew me into this beautiful album with it's deep beat,a stimulating
and adventurous sound. The rappish "Bumboclatt dead" (to those not fluent in Jamaican Patois
it means "Sh*t") was an "off-the-wall" delight. The undoubted highlight was the powerful and
plaintively sounding Africans (cleverly hinting a tenuous cover connection).Gutsy, rootsy
and an unerring success.

I found the album cover sad and actually a bit upsetting, since someone was in chains and handcuffed. And was a slave. But I was actually really glad. I opened up the box and step inside. And actually to my great surprise found an exceptionally unique, very interesting collection of
dancehall, reggaeton, soul filled music and great charismatic, strong bewitching vocals. That entertained me, please me and gave me a historical visit into Africa and the pleasures that are held inside this country.
