This follow-up album to Tapper Zukie's Bunker Buster set, sees Tapper again rally calling his fellow reggae singers to work up some great songs. This group of tunes lean towards a more soulful sound, yet still holding that reggae feel listeners know and expect from Mr Zukie. The title itself A Soulful i&i suited this set of songs perfectly. The roll call of great singers starts with Prince Alla adding his distinctive feel to the opening track "Children Don't Cry." "Heaven On Earth" features Junior Ross on vocal duties. "Poverty" is richly enhanced by one of Jamaica's greatest vocal bands, Silvertones. Tapper himself follows with the thoughtful "Man-A-Man" and another great reggae trio the Viceroys counter with "Help Me." Dennis Walks guides listeners with "I Wanna Go" and Junior Ross appears again with the timeless "Be On The Right Track." Mr Zukie points the way on "People of Love" and Prince Alla insures listeners that right will always overcome wrong doing with "Good Over Evil." "That Was The Day" is sung so majestically by the Viceroys and leads listeners into the Silvertones' "Magic Touch." Little Roy leads out with "Youth In The Ghetto."
