Henkel Irie adds a smooth touch with “Jamaican Girl.” Johnny P, known for his work on hits like “Bike Back” with Lady Saw, delivers “Can’t Wash And Cook.” Little Twitch, who made waves in the late 1980s with “Respect Due,” offers “Watch Your Friends Them.” With each track, the collection captures the spirit of dancehall.
