On "Gone A Jail" true reggae legend Gregory Isaacs goes head to head with Shockout veterans Kid606, Strategy (Kranky, Orac) and DJ C (Mashit, deathsucker, RKK). Contributing heavy lyrics and commanding delivery, Isaacs lives up to his nicknames "cool ruler" and "rude boy of reggae," as he smoothly and calmly delivers a true-life tale of being sent to Kingston's General penitentiary. Kid606 provides his deepest bass-heavy production yet, thick with tuned 808s and a driving 303 acid bassline. On Strategy's mix, rootsy reggae chords take on a synthetic quality, a nod to low-key and deep modern reggae sounds. DJ C's two mixes of "Gone A Jail" are rollercoaster rides through chilled-out riddems and slammin' beat.
