"Congo" by Nkrumah is a hypnotic slice of deep roots by Nkrumah aka Toronto's Kwame Salmon. The city that was home to Johnny Osbourne, Leroy Sibbles, Jackie Mittoo and countless other Reggae legends has produced another artist following this great  lineage, a singer  with a voice unlike anyone else.
Originally released in miniscule quantities as a self produced dubplate/lathe cut, the 45 caused a sensation among Djs and sound system operators world wide.  

This official release features a different mix with an extended version and a spare, mesmerizing  Dub version by Toronto's Heavy Manners crew reminiscent of late 90s/early 2000s Rhythm and Sound releases.

Dubs For Palestine

As the world is watching a genocide unfold in Gaza, we as reggae and dub soundsystem actors want to join our voices to all those standing in solidarity with Gaza and Palestine, trying to help whichever way they can. For more than 7 months, we have been witnessing an unimaginable scale of horror and suffering, backed by a colonial racist discourse by officials and media organizations. As active members of this scene, we cannot let our music's values of fighting injustice, colonialism, apartheid and racism remain words and abstract ideals.

The main aim of this compilation is to raise awareness among the soundsystem community about the situation. It is also a way of showing our solidarity and support towards the Palestinians who have been struggling for decades and who are now facing an unprecedented massacre.


Collectively released by: Kamel, Agobun Riddim Section, Sissi, Jah Works Outernational, Oulda, Sistah Lore, Dan I Locks, Arise Sound System, Lynn Forte, Jah Rej, Mostec, Ras Kush, Black Redemption records, True Earth records, Submission Soundsystem, Unity Soundsystem, Gastronomy.


Each Track of this compilation was produced, recorded, Mixed separately by the people who made the Music.

This selection is a two for two exchange with the man Stevo B of Lock & Key Sound System outta Napa California. Long time member of the East Bay Roots Crew that took me in and schooled me when I first moved to Cali from NY.  So this a special one for me. Such a pleasure to document one of these live sessions we have had so many times in the past. Couple issues with the space echo at the beginning, as I am still getting the hang of the OG after years of the pedal. As for tunes, this selection has a little of everything form rare roots and mid 80s digi, all the way to heavy UK style steppers. Full of vibes from beginning to end!! 100% Vinyl, live mix, one take style. Give it a listen!!
