1. Cultura Profetica
2. Ooklah the Moc
3. Midnite

that's probably a bit of a hard sell on this forum - good luck!
Since you are interested in new stuff I won't consider it inappropriate to point you to my Dub (with a rootsy retro flavour) productions:

I prefer Dread Ashanti's "Rising" to "Beauty of the Sea," but both are must haves. Anything Ooklah does is golden, but "Rearrange Your Positive" is roots/dub/harmony/lyrical perfection.
Also, "Peace in a Time of War" by D.C.'s Soldiers Of Jah Army is sick.
That was my response from this similar thread:
