Detailed review:

The second new release on Tube Dub Sound Records is a reggae song in best summer jam tradition. You get all the needed ingredients, from blazing horns to percussion (incl. Brazilian style) to guitar skanking to a smooth one dropper and all that combined with a big dose of sunshine. There is even a short part where I would've sworn it's West Coast LA style. ;)

On the A-Side. Nya Azania contributes her version "Gun Crime City". Her voice reminds of the sould ladies of the 70s. I reckon that she did an album with Jah Shaka during the 80s, am I right? Let's see if we hear more again from her in the future. The version is very nicely dubbed and leaves out most of the "summer" ingredients which actually leads to a pretty cool dub tune, I have to say.

About the Ranking Joe version, I cannot write because I have to admit that I only got promo tunes from the A-Side. The release was supposed to be out since 1st June 2008 but... I haven't seen or heard it anywhere. But since I thought I would have it by now, I had already prepared the page for the review and therefore, I decided to write about what I know.
