Cham - Ghetto Story
- Cham’s “Ghetto Story” is a positively matchless offering of reggae music at its best. The title track opens the album and Cham announces his presence with the opening line, “This is a survivor story, true ghetto story.” “Tic Toc” has a female vocalist chanting, “1,2,3,” in the intro and Cham follows up with “Tic toc, tick goes the clock.” “Rudeboy Pledge” has a metrical beat to it and metaphorical lyrics like, “Speed bumps called friends, red lights called enemies…flat tires called jobs.” “Bring It On (remix)” could be a song sung at a party to get the posse jumpin’. “Don’t Test Me” is an exultant song with fanciful music accompanying Cham’s rhythmical voice. “Wah Den A She Now” has what sounds like keyboard work with lines like, “It’s about to get dangerous.” “Talk To Me” is a breakup song with lines like, “Tears like a real tsunami.” If you are a listener who likes abstruse lyrics and an overseas vibe, then Cham’s “Ghetto Story” is your kind of album.
