I grew up with the sounds of Agustus Pablo, Scratch and Upsetters, the Congos, the Wailers, the Abyssinians and of many more teachers and messengers.
These are the artists from the old school. Now being reggae and often Rasta elders.

Which artist from the old school would you like to hail up for the works that they have done (or the works they are performing still).


I hail up four singers/bands:
Don Carlos and Gold for making me love JAH

Black Uhuru (feat. Michael Rose, Puma Jones and Ducky Simpson) for the fire and the energy.

the Congos for the inspirational vibes

Freddie McKay for the heartical vibrations


Which artists would you name? And Why?

Prince Far I for Inspirational Jah Message.Listen to "Why i love Jah so'

Barrington Levy's 'Englishman' for love message to everyone.i.e 'every daughter a me sistren and every man a me bredlin

Scientist & Mutabaruka's Land control.We dont eat economics.All we need is land to grow our food.'We waan more cantrolla de land!!!'
