A DJ since the age of 5, Beenie Man has grown up a reggae superstar with over 60 number one hits to his name, as well as a number of Jammys (Jamaica's equivalent to the Grammys), and a Grammy nomination for Best Reggae Album. Maintaining his role as the undisputed king of dancehall, Beenie Man blurs the lines between reggae, hip hop, and pop with a style that has made him a favorite of live audiences, remaining simultaneously both raw and commercially viable. ART AND LIFE (2000) was the reggae rapper's first album with Virgin records, and featured guest appearances by Wyclef Jean and ghetto diva Mya. The tracks on ART AND LIFE range from humorous pastiche delivered with his characteristic lyrical flair, to the socially conscious and the soulful. All, however, are a danceable, infectious good time. This release includes "Murder," "Ain't Goin Out Like Dat," and "Fire Burn."|
