TURNTABLE LAB

the lab review

Uh oh, Heavy Manners in the place! We don't get many culture or dancehall mixes anymore, but with the HM brand involved, plus Sizzla hosting, plus Tribe of Kings' Dash Eye holding it down on the mix, you know we had to get our hands on this one. Fire 'Pon Dem is pure weapons grade, with Dash spinning all the biggest tunes on the most choice riddims: Kingston Town, Tear Drops, Funny Man, Gang War, Bad Dog, Air Waves, Gully Beans, etc. Skip at Heavy Manners also got Sizzla to record dubs of "Praise Ye Jah" and "Smoke The Herbs" down in JA, plus The Rub's DJ Eleven and our own Lab homies Snack & C'mish contributed exclusivo remixes. Includes songs from Movado, Alborosie, Collie Buddz, Busy Signal, Mr. Vegas, Sean Paul, Kiprich, Buju, Beenie, Tony Matterhorn, T.O.K., Ms. Thing, Cham, and of course plenty of Sizzla. Basically, this is heat. Over 40 tracks total.
