Originally released in 1986, Nitty Gritty's TURBO CHARGED is an early dancehall classic that represents what was, at the time, a revolutionary sonic shift for Jamaican music. Evolving from the steady bounce of roots rock and dub, `80s Jamaican dancehall pulled island music into the digital age with its emphasis on keyboards and synthesized rhythms. Vocalist Nitty Gritty brings his textured flow to Prince Jammy's then state-of-the-art production, resulting in an early dancehall gem. It may sound quaint to those accustomed to 21st-century dancehall thunder, but TURBO CHARGED is one of the sparks that ignited the dancehall genre.
Condition:NEW.
