Other recent CDs that are A’s in my book are: Midnite’s “Let Live” [I-Grade]; The “Universal Message, Vol. 3” compilation [VP Records]; Pedro Luis Ferrer’s “Rústico” [Escondida] for a wonderful mixture of Cuban changüí, son and trova; and of course Garnett Silk's Reggae Anthology [VP Records]. The Version City Rockers’ “Darker Roots” [Antifaz] and the “Roots of Dub Funk 4” [Tanty Records] stand out to me as well as being noteworthy. If you’re more of a cultural dancehall fan, I suggest the new Lutan Fyah album, “Time and Place” [Lustre Kings] and local selector Empress I-Lexis’ (Wisdom Records) most recent excellent mix.

The site is full-up with new material. Check out the CD Reviews, the T.O.K. slideshow (I wish I was at that show—it looked great!), editorials from Jamaican attorney Lloyd Stanbury, the recent news about Jah Cure, all the new contests and more.
