...Fans of what one may call "progression" music--that is, albums whose songs seem to flow together like one long story--will enjoy Bring it On. Like the Dead or Floyd, the album flows seamlessly, and like a Marley or Hendrix, the music brings the listener into their frame of mind.

He loved the big sound systems the deejays had, the way they'd "toast" in a singsong voice before each song. When he moved to the U.S. at age 13, he used to tear the speakers out of abandoned cars and hook them onto a stereo in his room...
