And Monk done made me blush.

Get your airhorns ready. Mister Meistro, associate of Lab homeys Dave Nada and Tittsworth (and therefore posessing immaculate party-rocking credentials) is back with the followup to his first roots/dancehall/classics mix. Loved the first one, (and a lot of you did too) but this one may be even better. The blends are still on point and the transitions come at the right time in the track (people please take note: do not mix out in the middle of a verse!). Even more importantly, the song selection hits the correct balance between new, known and classics so everybody's happy. Things kick off in high gear with the criminally underplayed Rocking Time riddim (Chezidek's "Who I Am") and continue on a smooth modern roots tip with a succession of quality conscious dancehall interspersed with big tunes from Alborosie ("Slam Bam"), Buju ("Don & Dupes"), Pinchers ("Bandelero") and Super Cat ("Come Down"). The expert lacing of new versions with their precedents (big up for throwing in "Don Is Don") shows you're in the hands of a veteran. There's no way I can start to go thru even half of the 41 (!) tracks on here, but suffice to say Meistro has added a few to my wants list, and reminded me of a couple others I need to dig out of the box and get back in rotation. Nicely done sir. reviewed by Monk
