General Degree - Yeah Man - Greensleeves

You always needed a good sense of humour to be a deejay. All the great have got it. In recent years that GSOH, turned into degerate slackness and religious dogma with a lot of hypocriscy thrown into the mix as well. General Degree came up before all this started. His got his first hits out of lightweight slackness, but the man was consistent Now with this massive 21 track set with a Excutive Production credit going to Snapple Dapple - he looks the man is on a roll again. It's got a little bit of everything good. Even a few pop/reggae tun that's brought success to the likes of Shaggy. And anything Shaggy can do, Degree can do...Yeah Man.

"General Degree - 90 Degrees – Pipper - 1997

It’s not easy being funny and serious at the same time, but this man is truly an expert. His two biggest hits to date ‘Granny Granny Cry’and ‘Granny Walk And Rock’ are remarkable for many reasons, but they were not oneoff’s as this superb LP shows. This set produced by Pipper Mason is a stunning debut album., and shows the General as a fine grasp of what deejaying is all about - storytelling. It doesn’t make much difference how you tell the story, but you do need some kind of lyrical framework to keep it interesting. You also need some kind of style, and the General has plenty of that. This together with the excellent mix of rhythms and rhythms is what makes this set one of the best."
