RAW: THE BEST OF LADY SAW collects 19 of the Jamaican dancehall artist's finest tracks, showcasing Lady Saw's arresting, raunchy style. While the singer's subject matter may shock the unprepared listener ("Hardcore" and "Life Without Dick" are cases in point), it's Lady Saw's sharp flow, impressive singing, and ability to cut & splice genres that make her material so winning. Other highlights include "Find a Good Man," "Give Me a Reason," and "Healing," her duet with Beenie Man. Musical Guests Beenie Man   Artist Overview Since its inception, Jamaica's dancehall culture has been known for its extreme displays of masculinity, male sexual bravado, and gangsta braggadocio, all of which made female DJ Lady Saw's rise to superstardom all the more significant. Debuting in the mid 1990s, Saw easily matched her male counterparts in terms of gusto and skill, and while her lyrical content was by no means mild (in fact it was "slack" enough to get her censored in Jamaica), it was from a distinctly female perspective. "The First Lady of Dancehall" opened the door for many other female dancehall singers, and even took home a Grammy in 2003 for her guest appearance on No Doubt's "Underneath it All."
