Shinehead - Reprimand

Review by James Clayton

Reprimand, the latest album by Shinehead, is an eclectic mix of reggae, dancehall, and hip-hop. The album is a departure from Shinehead's earlier work, which was primarily rooted in reggae and dancehall.

The album opens with the track "The Makings of You," a soulful, R&B-influenced number that sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, the album moves into more traditional reggae and dancehall tracks, such as "Jamaican in New York" and "Strive."

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Collie Weed," a reggae track that features Shinehead's signature toasting style. The track is a tribute to the herb that is a staple of Jamaican culture.

Another standout track is "The Truth," a hip-hop track that features a sample from Public Enemy's "Fight the Power." The track is a scathing critique of the current state of hip-hop, and Shinehead pulls no punches in his lyrics.

Summary by James Clayton

Reprimand is a solid album that showcases Shinehead's versatility as an artist. While the album may not appeal to fans of traditional reggae and dancehall, it is sure to win over fans of hip-hop and R&B.
