Content
editThe album includes five songs from both Yellowman and Josey Wales, pitting them in a "rap battle" against each other. Stephen Cook of AllMusic called the album a highlight of the dancehall era of the late 1970s and early 1980s, and said that "besides some top toasting, the album also features superb backdrops from Lawes and the Roots Radics."[1]
