Dancehall just has an energy other music doesn’t have. Sweat. Dancing and gyrating. Pulsating beats.

Strictly The Best Vols. 35 and 36, both out now, are no exception, with only the most progressive in dancehall, roots and lover’s rock. Split between the buzz-worthy and the solid artists, STB captures both the tune of the streets and the charts. This installment is no different as it has Sean Paul, Richie Spice, T.O.K.,Buju Banton, Capelton, Bounty Killer, Wayne Wonder and more.

Sample it here early and then go cop…

Confession time.

I’ve been enjoying this track and have decided not to write the young boy off just yet (he’s only 16). Sure…”Chain Hang…”…forget it.

“King Kong” feat. Chamillionaire goes hard, true story. I ain’t sure if it’s the bass, the sampled chorus…or Jibb’s quick lyricism that actually swayed me, but it did so I won’t front.

Peep the AOL premier by clicking here.

We’ll stay in Texas for another minute to give you this aural dope in the form of UGK’s “Game Belongs To Me”

Who else could give us a chorus like “I got Bobby by the pound/Whitney by the ki…”?

Goes hard.

More and more…

Lil Scrappy feat. E-40 and Sean Paul Of The Youngbloodz – “Oh Yeah”

Scrappy doesn’t ever amaze me…I just always listen and admire his conceited cockiness. The shit just reeks thru the speakers. “Manipulate your broad/put your chick on Craiglist…”…yeah 40 owns the track though.

To dispel the rumors, no, Little Brother is not breaking up. When one member leaves a duo, that’s called a breakup. When one member leaves a trio, that’s called an evolution. But no one has officially left the group. We’re still here, and we’re still moving forward. (“Phonte of Little Brother: Is Little Brother Breaking Up?”)

He also drops jewels on the listening preferences of 13 yr olds, the Royal Rumble for KONY, Atlantic…c’mon, it’s Tay. No topic is safe.

Last but not least, this one was…special. No need to jazz it up with extra words.
