Judah’s "Soloman" adds another strong voice to the project, while Pincy P’s "Pretty So" rounds out the lineup with a catchy performance. The riddim itself was crafted by VASCO RECORDS, a label that made its mark in the 1990s with a series of influential dancehall releases. VASCO RECORDS was known for pushing out rhythms that became staples in sound system clashes and street dances across Jamaica. This compilation was more than just a collection of songs; it captured the energy of bashment culture at the time.
