Jah Shaka has a long history of bringing out the best in veteran artists, and Winston Jarrett increases the producer's stats with Children of the Ghetto. Arguably his best album to date, the singer unleashes a phenomenal cultural set. Jah Shaka's splendid riddims superbly support the singer, creating rootsy backings that evoke the classical era of the genre whilst sounding remarkably fresh, and his signature bouncy, roots rockers styled riddims with a difference are on parade here. Laid down by Shaka's top-tier studio team, the nyahbinghi styled percussion that feeds through the backings are flawlessly offered up by veteran Noel "Skully" Sims, while the militant beats and hefty basslines come courtesy of Anthony Benbow and Earl "Flabba" Holt.
