NEW REGGAE RELEASES
Nahyubi Joseph - 'Take Heed'
Here's a cd we recently got called 'Take Heed' from Rock City native Nahyubi Joseph. A nice cd with several tracks that caught my ear including my favorite 'Fittest,' ''Feel No Pain,' and 'Gun Play.'
NEW DANCEHALL RELEASES
King Jammy's - 'Godfather'(Aka Sleng Teng)
Bobby Digitals - 'Love is Not A Gamble'
King Jammys was one of the, if not the 'Godfather' of dancehall. His riddim 'Godfather' (Aka Sleng Teng) and Bobby Digitals 'Love is Not A Gamble' are staples when you go into the oldies for dancehall. In case you missed some these in digital format like I did because you only had them on vynl, here's a reminder.
NEW SKA RELEASES
The Toasters - 'Don't Let The Bastards Grind You Down'
Here's an older ska band from the oldest modern day US ska band The Toasters with 'Don't Let The Bastards Grind You Down.'
NEW REMIX RELEASES
Mike D & Tropical Blend's Konshens & Miguel - 'Take You Ova'
Mike D & Tropical Blends do my favorite remixes. There more crossover from pop into reggae and reggae remixed into pop. I don't know where the beat comes from this next track because I don't follow any other form of music other than what I mention is this blog each week. Konshens & Miguel sexy on this with one called 'Take You Ova.'
NEW 420 MUSIC RELEASES
Sanchez & Beenie Man - 'Straight Marijuana'
Here's a ganja tune we missed from last year called 'Straight Marijuana.' Anytime these two get together ah murder, Sanchez & Beenie Man.
Shalene & Lawman - 'Best Collie'
Barrington Levy and his relationship Jah Life produced some classics like 'Murderer.' There was also 'Collie Weed.' Recently the riddim for the original 'Collie Weed' was re-released with the whole riddim digitally. I missed the original remix featuring Shalene & Lawman and called 'Best Collie.' I couldn't find a public source of this version so here's the next best thing.
NEW REGGAE ROCK RELEASES
Reggae Rockers 311 - 'Beautiful Disaster'
Here's a much older song that we recently came across from reggae rockers 311 'Beautiful Disaster.' A little heavier on the rock side.
