Reviews
Ras Batch has already
done so much in the music and continues to work his
magic within the class of the absolute best of the
modern era of Reggae music. As I've said in the past,
the St. Croix Reggae wizard has, rather quietly, become
a favourite of mine and I look at him largely now as
having a style which, although ostensibly is very
straight forward, is probably ahead of its time. I'm
thinking that maybe twenty or thirty years on from now,
you'll have fans, younger and older alike, suddenly
coming to the realization that this singer who emerged
in the early 2000's from out of the Virgin Islands and
went by the name Batch, made some complete musical GEMS
in his time. -
