Little Lenny scored the biggest (and one of the most controversial) reggae hits of 1989 with the title track, a superb safe sex ditty that critics mistook for just another slack number rather than a graphic and prophetic commentary on a critical subject. Indeed, anyone taking a simplistic view of
Little Lenny's CD would miss some sharp, well-articulated points on a variety of subjects. Because he included fluff and novelty pieces such as "Champion Bubbler" and "FaFunky Man," those who only hear on the surface would dismiss
Little Lenny as one more nonsense rhyming dancehall act. But listen again and you'll hear a performer who's able to be both suggestive and insightful, and whose total presentation deserves closer scrutiny. ~ Ron Wynn
