What station?

I would say check out Katchafire, Rebel Souljahz, Morgan heritage, Da'ville (more rnbish reggae i suppose), Third World, Damian Marley, Iration (for more college rock/reggae sound), Gregory Isaacs, Beres Hammond, Tarrus Riley....if you find something you like in that list, let me know, and I can narrow it down more...

Q103, 103.7... thanks, I will look into those. I'm also downloading all the reggae I can find on my pool sites, once I find some good stuff I like I will post some examples.

Here's a question though -

Which came first?

"Rastafari Anthem" or Collie Buddz "Come Around"? One of 'em ganked the other lol. I have been playing the Collie Buddz forever but it looks like the other was on a 2007 reggae compilation CD...

ur talkin about hawaiian reggae or caribbean?

I guess I don't really know! I heard it in Hawaii. The station billed itself as "roots rock and reggae", and everything they played the whole week I was there was killer.

I like Damian Marley, Collie Buddz, etc (as far as crossover stuff goes), and I have always dug Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, etc... so I guess that stuff would be carribean. What's the difference?

Hawaiian reggae tends to have more harmonizing vocals, whereas more traditional reggae, the artist have a heavier accent and a thicker sound...I'm not really into the dub sound, but for a white guy, I know a bit about the hawaiian reggae sound...thats why I listed a bunch of artists to check out, once you find some stuff you like, i might be able to help narrow it down for ya...if you like Collie Buds, you probably will like the more straight ahead reggae...but, maybe you will like it all...

However, the hawaiian reggae is harder to find...also check out Ekolu and The Green Band...

hawaii-j boog, fiji,

"Which came first?

"Rastafari Anthem" or Collie Buddz "Come Around"? "

Come Around was the first remake of the original Zap Pow cut "Last War"

Borrowing the "riddim" is the culture of JA reggae. You can tell who the good artists are when they have the same canvas

a lot of reggae artists do both culture and dancehall tunes.

Sizzla
Capleton
Buju Banton
Anthony B

they have just as much melodic rootsy stuff as they do dancehall barn burners.

I like a lot of artists from St. Croix Virgin Islands have a very thick roots sound. I love the sound of
Batch
Ras Attitude
Midnite
Pressure
Bambu Station
Danny I

also look up:
Lutan Fyah
Fantan Mojah
Konshens
Alborosie (italian)
Million Stylez
Queen Omega
Queen Ifrica

Respect to Island reggae:
J Boog
Natural Vibrations
Humble Soul

Also look out for some crucial indie artists:
Jah Sun
Ishi Dube
Soulmedic
Rocker T
Jahworks the Revolutionary
Stevie Culture
Winstrong
(all from Lion Camp)
SOJA
Groundation

Lol @ Dub ignoring his viewers.

I'm new at the ustream stuff.

Ishi Dube is my neighbor and good friend, so I am happy to pass that along.

Good tunes btw. But you should stream a direct line from the mixer instead of the camera mic.

I'll get that all worked out for sure.

Awww man, i miss Maui so much

Q103 Maui always plays some damn good ish - really suprising for a radio station, i wish they would broadcast live and update playlists

im intrested as well in more artists of the like

Rebelution, Kora, John Brown's Body, Iration, Tribal Seed just some of the few i picked up since my travels to Maui

Lol.... Guess it a cultural difference in the apparel - the j-boog crew looked like bangers(with all the tattoos - and the dark clothing) - but a good track though especially with Richie spice..


Checked out these artists - good ganja smoking tracks here..

buy the trojan boxset

set 4 life

which one, there are 69 of them
