No Mercy

Gritty proto-reggaeton recorded before the genre had a name. Raw dancehall riddims meet street-level Spanish rap in a haze of tape hiss and heavy bass.

April 2, 1995

A hungry, aggressive, and unrefined energy that captures the birth of a new urban sound.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the operatic intro into the skeletal, pounding dancehall beat of Run Come Follow Me.
The relentless, rapid-fire delivery on Chica Interesada that previews the flow style that would later conquer the world.
The heavy, dub-influenced bassline on They Cry that grounds the album in its Jamaican sound system roots.
