More Than Music.

Digital Singles From The Xterminator Vaults contains outstanding efforts from Turbulence, Buju Banton, Gentleman, Lutan Fyah, Sizzla, Luciano, Ras Shiloh, Beres Hammond and more, whose musical atmosphere is reminiscent of Xterminator productions such as Sizzla’s Black Woman and Child and Luciano’s Messenger, seminal albums that allowed roots consciousness to reclaim its rightful place in reggae and world music circles internationally.

Here, on Digital Singles From The Xterminator Vaults, the combination of Bunny Rugs & Lutan Fyah on “Africa” sets the tone for the album while Buju Banton’s relentless energy on “O My Father” captures the prevailing upbeat dancehall vibes. “Let Love” from Luciano and “Goodness And Mercy” from Sizzla and Ini Kamoze both recapture the style that made them who they are today. Versatility has always been a hallmark of Phillip “Fattis” Burrell’s Xterminator record label and Jack Radics & General Degree show Fattis hasn’t lost his touch on “Lover’s Question”, a seamless combination of Jack Radic’s vocal range and General Degree’s deejay skills. Two contributions from international lover’s reggae icon Beres Hammond, “Woman Of My Life” and “You Don’t Know Me” make Digital Singles From The Xterminator Vaults a sweet departure from conventional Xterminator releases that have focused on in-house artists. Jimmy Riley’s “I-O” is a playful play on words and Ras Shiloh offers a crucial take on the importance of “Faith And Hope” in his signature roots and gospel style.

The range and depth of Xterminator productions means one doesn’t have to dig deep to find the hits. However, sometimes one does have to wait patiently for the hits to be released. Thankfully, Digital Singles From The Xterminator Vaults will meet the conscious and dancehall needs of reggae and urban music fans alike for a long time to come.
