NEW REGGAE RELEASES
The Predator Dub Assassins - 'Decade of Dubs'
The Predator Dub Assassins have been a leading reggae band in NJ. The Dubs have released 'Decade of Dubs' a year late, which means it's been 11 years. It's a great introduction to the band as it's their best stuff since the beginning. All are good. Top cuts are the Lover in P-Dub, frontman, songwriter & producer of the project. Those include 'Heaven Sent' & 'Sometimes I.' A 'Dirty Jersey' favorite is also 'Dancehall Love Affair.'
Eljai - 'The Other Side of Eljai'
Eljai of Belize, has a serious musical history and his experience shows on his new album 'The Other Side of Eljai.' A good reggae album that has just released and all the singles have been solid including 'Machine Gun Love,' '24-7' & 'Sweet Belize.' Album tracks like 'Arise & 'Apple of My Eye' stand strong as well. The roots reggae and lover's rock album is a side I like. I don't really know the other side, even though this is suppose to be the other side.

Reggae artist Ikaya has a nice new song on Reggae Gold called 'Love Note.'
