Elephant Man's "Good 2 Go" is a great album. His unique style of reggae and hip-hop brings the whole dance floor together.

"Pon de River Pon de Bank," the only pure dance hall track to crack the charts since the genre got more reckless and hyper post-Shabba. It's a fantastic single and "Good 2 Go" surrounds it in standard dance hall album style: some killer, some filler, and at least one truly misguided moment. Elephant Man singing to the tune of Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger" on "Fan Dem Off" supplies the misguided moment, but there are 19 other tracks to choose from with the filler being better than usual and the killer being just what kicking stereos crave. I honestly love reggae. From the late Bob Marley to the hip Sean Paul, I have been listening to this beautiful type of music nearly all my life

Besides the pumping and contagious "River," there's the deep and ominous chant of "Jamaica" and a perfectly executed team-up with Killah Priest on the hypnotic and smoke-filled "Who We Are." Joel Chin (a member of the family that started the VP label/dynasty) contributes production that is both quirky and breezy on "Cock Up Your Bumper," with the usually brash Elephant Man prattling on about "yellow underwear" like a tripped-out Harry Belafonte. `Good 2 Go' is obviously is a good listen, but at times can be overstuffed like "Signal de Plane."

Good 2 Go is a great dance hall album that focuses on the energetic artist in his prime with little refinement. This one is great to have.
