Murder Love

A number of songs featured dancehall legends Ninjaman, Half Pint, White Mice, and Nadine Sutherland, and Junior Reid produced and appeared on the track "Si Wi Dem Nuh Know We".

[1][2] In 1993, Snow began touring Jamaica, performing at such venues as the University of the West Indies, Topline, and the Jaguar Lounge in Halfway Tree.

The album featured several producers, including Junior Reid ("Si We Dem Nuh Know We"), Onree Gill ("Bad Men," "Rivertown," "Babylon," "Time," "Dream," "If You Like the Sound," and "Let’s Get it on"), MC Shan ("Yesterday" and "Sexy Girl") and Herby Azor ("Anything for You" and "Things to Say").

That's evident on songs like "Anything for You," a buoyant duet with Nadine Sutherland, "Things to Say"—a Bob Marley tribute sampling Bill Withers' "Use Me"—and "Rivertown," a look at a Jamaican ghetto through the eyes of its young residents.

"[10] Chuck Eddy of Spin found Murder Love somewhat indecipherable and a departure from 12 Inches of Snow, writing "slow make out mush replaces the debut’s Algerian-rai/dancehall mix with some lighthearted Marvin Gaye liquid funk," and "like most reggae toasters, Snow seems to have learned to rap by studying Dick Van Dyke’s ‘hum-diddle-diddle-did-die-hum-diddl-eye’ chimney sweep scat in Mary Poppins.
