| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | Personnel: Cham; Akon, Leroy Romans, Alicia Keys, Roy Job. | | Recording information: 2006. | | The first full-length release from the artist formerly known as Baby Cham under his new abbreviated moniker, GHETTO STORY is built almost entirely around the strength of the title track. It's quite a tough act to follow, and none of the other cuts are able to match the raw power of that exceptional song. Still, with the help of producer extraordinaire Dave Kelly (a.k.a. The Stranger) and guest appearances from Majic Massey, Rihanna, Alicia Keys, and Akon, among others, Cham has put together an all-around tight album, presenting a harder supplement to the Sean Paul-brand of dancehall that has dominated the scene in the early 2000s. |

- 3 stars out of 5 -- "Chams' down-tempo music and earnest lyricism offer a stark contrast to the Jamaican dancehall scene..."Entertainment Weekly (p.138)
- "[T]he Jamaican vocalist takes advantage of producer Dave Kelly's gritty lo-fi pulses, his unmistakable baritone adding bravado and empathy to each minimal loop." -- Grade: B Vibe (p.136)
- "[B]uoyed by Cham's straight-from-the-gutter perspective....Cham's credentials are bona fide." |
