Tony Rebel Meets Garnet Silk in a Dancehall Conference (1994)
Tony Rebel Meets Garnett Silk in a Dancehall Conference is a collaboration studio album, by Tony Rebel and Garnett Silk. It was the second and final collaboration album between the two.
All tracks are written by P. Barrett & G. Smith except "Killing Me Softly"
AllMusic gave the album a very positive review along with 4.5 stars stating:[1]
"Garnett Silk has a booming, yet engaging and soulful voice, which he can also lower effectively. Tony Rebel is in the harsh, attacking, booming class alongside Buju Banton. While they're similar in their abilities to dominate an arrangement, there's enough disparity to make their duets delightful."
Billboard also gave a fairly positive review saying that[2]
"The exquisite singer-to-be [Silk] emerges on the cover of "Killing Me Softly," the sweet voice breaking through in all its glory" "Rebel already exhibits the maturity of the veteran toaster, which he is, although true recognition would not arrive until he moved on to Pavement the following year. Still, tracks like "Can't Tek It Inna Jail," with its rapid fire raps spewing across the grooves, showcases the verbal barrage that would send him racing up the charts" "The pair's duets are a potent reminder of their powerful live assaults; now Rebel's machine gun toasts, which pepper the platter, are met by Silk's sweet sing-song vocals, which warm the wax" " This is talent in its purest state, still solidifying and maturing, but already palpable in its presence, and a welcome addition to both artists' canons"
