As we come down to the last day before Season 11.  I wanted to hit you with a 420 friendly episode.  The Hempire Strikes Back is one of those episodes that aged really well (which I can't say for all of my early episodes) with great artists, great music and running close to and hour and a half, it should keep you busy until tomorrow's episode! Season 11 airs in 1 day and is packed with great music, including a good taste of the Newly Released, Ziggy Stardub, a reggae reimagining of David Bowie’s The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, and features guest performances by Maxi Priest, Steel Pulse, Fishbone, Alex Lifeson (Rush), Vernon Reid (Living Colour), The Skints, Mortimer, The Expanders, Samory I, and many others.  It seriously is a beautiful Reggae Tribute to a Legend!   Packages of the album are available here, including royal blue colored vinyl along with CD and exclusive t-shirt offerings. 

As we gear up for Season/Year 11 of the Session on 4/20/23, we're going back to some of my favorite and fan favorite episodes.  This is one of my favorite "cover" episodes with Legendary Artists covering Legendary Tracks! Frankie Paul - I Know The Score Al Brown - Love & Happiness Paragons - The Tide Is High Peter Tosh - Here Comes The Sun John Holt - Hey Jude Wayne Wade - Lady The Wailers - Sugar Sugar Dennis Brown - I’m Your Puppet Tarrus Riley - Human Nature Busy Signal - One More Night Romain Virgo - Soul Provider Gappy Ranks - Just The Two of Us Busy Signal - Night Shift Beres Hammond - These Arms of Mine

As we gear up for Season/Year 11 of the Session, we're going back to some of my favorite and fan favorite episodes.  This one gets a lot of love from the listeners as its some of the 90's Hip Hop Greats like the Wu, Fugees, Black Star and more that are blended perfectly with rootsy riddims in a little 30 min package.

Continuing the Gratitude Interview Series I speak to Jaz Elise while playing a few of my favorite tracks of hers and then we get in to a killer session of amazing tracks both current and classics!

In this Session I talk to Mortimer and Kumar Fyah, two amazing solo artists on the Gratitude Riddim.  Check out these artists' stories while listening to some of my favorite tracks from them.   Mortimer, talks about growing up in a home that did not support his passion of "non-secular" music and had to fight extremely hard to get to where he is now; His working relationship with Producer, Winta James and how family life motivates his writing. Kumar Fyah, came up in the scene with Raging Fyah and we talk about how that came about and what inspired the break-up; His Journey of becoming a successful Solo Artist and how a personal tragedy inspired his latest works on the Gratitude Riddim, "When The Smoke Clears".
