6. “Show It Off” (1993)

strictly the best vol 14

This song is the ultimate “I told you so” of Beres’ catalog.  Not only is it fit for the dancehall—the riddim is a muscular reworking of the ultimate clash record “Death in The Arena”— but the lyrics are truly heartfelt. Beres sounds almost giddy as he re-tells the story of ‘The Ugly Duckling”… Show them what you got now, Honey!
