They've been spitting swords since 1993. The Wu-Tang style, as performed on the new album "Black Samson, The Bastard Swordsman", is simply timelessly cool to my ears.

What happens when foundation artist Earl Sixteen and Bristol's #NuRoots band The Co-Operators go into the studio together? To my ears, something wonderful! Enjoy the showcase "Concrete #Rockers" and listen carefully to what Earl has to say.
My favourite record from the Jamaican archives these days is BABYLON FALL by Junior Ross & The Spears. The album from 2018 brings together recordings that Tapper Zukie produced from the mid to late 70s. The line-up of the band is awesome! It includes Sly & Robbie, Augustus Pablo and Vin Gordon on instruments and Prince Alla on backing vocals.
In short, get your arse to your trusted record dealer and pick up the disc!

Riddims against repressions! 🔊✊🏽
Kulturny Viktor, Rebelsteppa & Puff Nutty have released the tune "Музыкальная полиция". And it's probably no coincidence that the cover is reminiscent of #JuniorMurvin|s "Police & Thieves".
„The tune is dedicated to representatives of subcultures whose appearance often catches the attention of law enforcement. However labeling and judging by appearance is a thankless task. To stand out means to be original, not suspicious. The catchy chorus and pumping riddim turned this tune into a hit long before its official release — thanks to massive dubplate rotation by selectors across the country and even beyond. It's a great joy for us to present this track to the world!“
Props goes out to Prince Istari at #SozialistischerPlattenbau for this four cuts of „Under Me Acidhead!“ 💚❤️💛✊🏽🔊
„Celebrating 40 years of the Casio MT40 rock preset generated riddim which become the change in #dub music towards digital riddims! 1985 on the 23th february prince jammy became king jammy by dropping his famous sleng teng riddim on a soundclash between his sound and Black Scorpio Sound in Kingston.
The rock preset on the budget casio keyboard has been programmed by Okuda Hiroko.“

I'm still listening to some of the new releases from 2024.
Including this #DrumNBass album by #Zar from #Manchester, made in Colabos with some Sisters and Brothers (not only) from #Bristol. Enjoy!

Two and a half years after the death of Lee "Scratch" Perry, producer Daniel Boyle has released "King Perry", the last studio album by the crazy grandfather of #Roots #Reggae #Dub. The sound comes out of the speakers as dubby trip-hop, which gives the goodbye to the former master of Black Ark Studios a contemporary tribute. Also on board are Greentea Peng, Shaun Ryder, Rose Waite and Tricky, among others. Many thanks to all involved, thank you Lee for this wonderful album.
My first favourite album of the year was "Zero Grace" by Liam Bailey a few weeks ago. As with Liam's brilliant neo-reggae album "Ekundayo", Leon Michels is back on board, which could be one reason why the sound of the new album gets under your skin again, unlike the previous album "Enfant Terrible". Although the #reggae parts have become smaller in favour of more #blues and #soul it still doesn't detract from the whole thing!
You just have to listen to it, believe me.
When it comes to the classics of #Roots #Reggae #Dub, the #MightyTwo delight me with their album series "African Dub All-Mighty", which is no coincidence that they belong to the Olympus of the genre. A must for all riddim enthusiasts!
My favourite is Chapter 3.
You can find out more about the series, which VP Records has reissued, here:

The first contribution to #MyRiddims this year was made by junglist and MC #DRS with his mixtape "Everything Must Go!". Right in the intro, he gives the Big Music Biz the middle finger and, of course, delivers one fat track after another with many collaborations with #Dogger, #Mither and #Mindstate, among others.
Have a listen!
