Listen two of the album highlights below, Rudie Say Him Bad—a skanking headbopper coarsing with a sticks, rude-boy character, a chant that leaves you wanting to stand firm ina the dancehall—and Who No Waan Come, a low key and soulful experience with Scientist’s signature dubwise echoes and sound effects chuntering along in the background amid a mystic canopy of sweet vocal harmonies and pulsating, meditative bassweight.
Although carnival has sadly been cancelled this year, do your best to recreate some of the vibrations and sounds by picking up some of the great Roots Reggae titles that we have on offer.
