Toyan With Tipper Lee & Johnny Slaughter
Murder
This album was originally released in 1983, a period when the 'clash' albums were more or less all the rage, especially because it was often not possible for an artist to fill a complete album. In addition, it was also advantageous for the producer to work with a limited number of riddims that were used by the different artists on one album. The latter also applies to the LP 'Murder'. Producer Jah Thomas, also active as a toaster, delivers a high-quality, quintessential early 1980s deejay album, complete with tough riddims, most likely played by the Roots Radics, sharp lyrics, and the right vibes. The 'clash' LP is a 'battle' between the illustrious duo Tipper Lee and sidekick Johnny Slaughter vs. Toyan. It would be stupid to pick a winner, the winner is the listener! The three deejays toast with devotion and passion across the riddims, with themes often coming from everyday life, ranging from self-aggrandizement, the joys of the herbs to roots 'n' culture.
