Sly And Robbie - Massive flac album

Sly And Robbie ‎– Massive. Label: Hudson Vandam Records ‎– HVCD 5107.

Sly and Robbie are a prolific Jamaican rhythm section and production duo, associated primarily with the reggae and dub genres. Drummer Sly Dunbar and bassist Robbie Shakespeare teamed up in the mid-1970s after establishing themselves separately in Jamaica as professional musicians.

The album features guest musicians Herbie Hancock, Bob Dylan, Afrika Bambaataa, and Manu DiBango.

Sly and Robbie consistently remain a step ahead of their competition in terms of originality and rhythmic perfection, spurred on by crisp acoustic and synth beats. About Sly and Robbie. Jamaica's "riddim twins" are essentially the backbone of many classic reggae singles and albums, supporting practically every major reggae artist and a variety of international artists.

The album Silent Assassin by Sly and Robbie was released in 1989 and was a collaboration between many musical heavy hitters of the time, including, of course, the famous drum-and-bass rhythm section themselves, along with Boogie Down Productions’ main man KRS-One, plus rappers including Shah of Brooklyn, Queen Latifah, Young MC, and Willie D of the Geto Boys. This album blends together reggae, dancehall, and hip hop, and the results are, I think, rather interesting if a big scatter-brained.
