I really enjoyed reading this, my first experience with LKJ's work. I really appreciate what he did here with language, and how raw the topics he spoke of (especially in the first half) were. However, I highly recommend listening to the spoken word versions with the music while reading. Not only will you understand more, but it gives you better sense of admiration for the impact LKJ has on both the poetry and musical world.

It was a challenge to read (because of the Jamaican creole) but I love the rhythm and the verse. Very political at times but also very honest and accessible (Loved especially: "Liesense fi Kill"; "Reggae fi Dada")
