Like the RAS label out of Washington, D.C., VP Records has found success as a stateside label specializing in modern dancehall reggae. Whereas RAS focuses on more roots-minded vocal and DJ cuts, VP keeps attuned almost exclusively to the digital ragga sounds that came to the fore during the '90s. The label certainly has one of the most impressive rosters in this respect, including the likes of Buju Banton, Beenie Man, General Degree, Lady Saw, Beres Hammond, and Bounty Killer, among many others. This fourth installment in VP's high-profile Reggae Gold series offers up prime cuts from all these singers and DJs, along with some updated roots-ragga from Luciano as well as a fine Gregory Isaacs and Lady Saw duet on an update of "Night Nurse." Other standout tracks include Saw's ribald "No Long Talk" (her infamous vocal gymnastics taking on Diamanda Galas proportions), Bounty Killer's tight bit of robotic funk "Benz & the Bimma," and General Degree's slinky rub-a-dub cut "When I Hold You Tonight." Those in need of more traditional vocalizing can look forward to Beres Hammond's sunny "Love From a Distance" and Mikey Spice's "Showers of Blessing." ...

First off, much respect to Virgin for resisting words like "definitive" or even "greatest" on their stellar collection of Beenie Man. The rightfully crowned King has way too many hits to be contained by a single disc, and licensing them from all the different labels Beenie has been on would be a massive undertaking. Instead of trying to be the last word in Beenie, Kingston to King of the Dancehall strives to be an introduction to the man's later material, but not as late as you'd think. While it would have been interesting to include Beenie's hits as an adolescent, Kingston to King of the Dancehall chooses 1995's massive Jamaican hit "Slam" as its earliest track. Including the poignant "No Mama No Cry" from two years earlier would have been a Beenie fan's wet dream, but picking up when the man was on top makes for an incredibly exciting collection and a "welcome newcomers" set of more polished tracks. Virgin is obviously going for the come-latelys here, ones that came to the man through the hit "Dude" and his sweet and breezy Janet Jackson team-up, "Feel It Boy" (which is only included on the DVD, keeping the CD nearly 100 percent Jamaican-powered). Can't blame them -- dancehall is a tough sell -- but the way the compilers introduce beginners to the man's dynamic career is more than admirable, it's downright brilliant. "Who Am I" and "Girls Dem Sugar" are the catchy, fully formed tracks the listener is first entranced by, holding his hand and leading him to the more skeletal but no less worthy "Romie" ("an him big fat sister Nyomi") and "Ole Dawg." Tracks like the "Girl Dem Sugar" remix with Mya and "Love Me Now" with Wyclef (which borrows equally from Naughty by Nature's "O.P.P." and Yellowman's ...
