AMG Review of Raw: The Best of Lady Saw

Andrew Hamilton
All Music Guide

The scandalous Jamaican MC shouts out 19 shockers on this best-of compilation. Lady Saw nee Marion Hall is sultry and seductive; she's the island's answer to Lil Kim or Foxy Brown. A multitude of producers make these tracks possible. Therefore, there are subtle differences among the tracks; the many "cooks" keep the CD from becoming boring and stagnant. The best include "Hardcore," "Find a Good Man," "No Long Talking," and "Give Me a Reason." If you didn't purchase Lady Saw's previous releases, this is a good introduction to her provocative, dancehall world.
