Shoot the Boss (1998)

Buy from Amazon.com

Monkey Mafia is an alias used by Dj Carter to record his music. His music is influenced by Kraftwerk, Public Enemy, Schoolly D, and such styles as electronica, hip-hop and even rock of the '60s, soul, dub, dancehall, and reggae. His style might be called as dynamic mix of reggae and funk. "Shoot the Boss" consists of the material recorded by Dj Carter on London label Deconstruction during 1995-1998. This album is recommended as a guide to the planet's dance clubs, it's typical, but not entirely predictable, however. As for vocal appeared on this album, it's quite vivid and does have the pronounced African origin. It excellently combines with cutted out rhythms. Everything is neat, thought-out, without the excesses. The final track "Long as I Can See the Light" is worth mentioning for tender girlish vocal and charming arrangements.
