Rebel Mc, taking a break from the Pop-Rap dirge of his Street Tuff era, joined forces with Barrington Levy and Tenor fly and dropped this breakbeat monster. Huge breakbeat and a cheeky clip of Enya mixed up with ragga lyrics from two absolutely legendary mc’s make this a firm favorite of mine.

From Discogs
The 80’s popster turned proto-jungle revolutionary was born Michael West in 1965 in London. He joined Double Trouble in the early ’80s with Michael Menson and Leigh Guest, releasing the ska-pop hit “Street Tuff”. Rebel MC gained fame in England as a pop-rapper, but by 1991 he had released Black Meaning Good, an album that presaged jungle with hardcore techno married to dub basslines and ragga toasters such as Barrington Levy and P.P. Arnold.

World of Reggae Music Collection: Vintage Reggae

The Early Years

The Jam-Tex selector digs deeper into the reggae genre, focusing in on some of reggae’s earliest hits. Positive vibrations drip from songs like Dobby Dobson’s “Loving Pauper” and The Pioneers‘ “Let Your Yeah Be Yeah.”  Reggae legends Bob Marley & The Wailers, Toots & The Maytals, and Delroy Wilson all laid down foundational tracks during this early period of reggae music.

This particular collection features early vintage hits from the well-known male artists like John Holt, Alton Ellis, Desmond Dekker, Johnny Clarke, Ken Boothe, and Bob Andyand female artists Marcia Griffiths, Susan Cadogan, and my favorite Phyllis Dillon. Many of the musicians from the rock steady era like Derrick Morgan and Stranger Colerecorded early reggae hits. Alongside the more well-known vocalists, this collection features lesser-known artists like K.C. White and Watty Burnett, who laid down infectious reggae tunes like “No No No (You Don’t Love Me Anymore)” and “Rainy Night in Portland.”

Here in the early reggae cuts you find amazing originality. Dennis Brown tracks like “Westbound Train” and “Man Next Door” encapsulate the raw power of reggae. And, Delroy Wilson’s bass heavy “Better Must Come” might be the greatest reggae song ever recorded. Plus the early Bob Marley & the Wailers’ songs forged music and message into a powerful punch. Together Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer recorded original classics like “Mr. Brown,” “Try Me,” and “Jailhouse.” These legends of reggae music would forever change the course of music history.

This month’s music selection varies from twangy country to roots reggae to experimental jazz-hip-hop and dub. Robert Glasper’s Double Booked is chalk-full of creativity and musicianship.  Glasper, a pianist originally from Houston, Texas has performed with Erykah Badu, The Roots, Maxwell, and Mos Def. On this new album Glasper mixes hip-hop, jazz, and experimental music into a beautiful soundscape.

Conrad Crystal and Suga Roy have put together a fine album with help from some of reggae’s icons. The legendary Toots & The Maytals joins the duo on “God Bless You.” The singjay Gyptian performs “Jah Jah See Dem”  in tribute to Joseph Hill and Culture. The dancehall jam “She Call Mi Phone” features “king of the dancehall” Beenie Man and the amazing vocalist Barrington Levy. Deejays U Roy, Dillinger, and Big Youth join the fray while Reggae superstars Lee “Scratch” Perry, Max Romeo, Eek-A-Mouse, Marcia Griffiths, Dennis Brown, The Congos, and Inner Circle all lend their vocals. Even the amazing danechall duo Chaka Demus & Pliers makes an appearance on “Girl You Rock My World.”

The Stephen Marleyalbum Mind Control originally dropped more than a year ago. Now a newer acoustic version of the disc has been released called Mind Control Acoustic. The smooth beautiful track “Chase Dem” features Capleton layering rhymes through the original tune. Brothers Damian Marley and Julian Marley appear on the record as does rude boy Spragga Benz.

UPDATE: Shyne is being detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at an unspecified facility in Western New York State. Officials are determining whether or not to deport the rapper, who was born in Belize.

Today Shyne was released from prison after almost a decade on the inside. In gangsta rap, getting incarcerated is viewed more a badge of honor than it is an unfortunate personal event. Holding true to the street code of silence hyperbolizes the grandiose stigma given by the street. So when Shyne got convicted of shooting up a NYC nightclub in 2002, all while in front of Diddy and J-LO, I knew he wasn’t going to be known as “the kid who sounds like Biggie” ever again. Shyne had to have his freedom robbed in order to break free of every stereotype and/or criticism that would have been levied at him for the next 10 years. Quite the price to pay, which is why today is a day to celebrate. As Fabolous said via Twitter today:

Somebody gettin outta jail is like a Hood Holiday…

It is still unsure which recording route Shyne will take. Rumors about Hova and Roc Nation are fizzling out, and it may be inevitable that Shyne knead out some contractual obligations with Diddy and Bad Boy. I’m sure Diddy will be rolling deep to that meeting, lawyers and security. I can visualize Shyne showing up with two bitches and a milkshake, and is like “Wattup P? Ready to break me off?”

We’ll keep you posted on Shyne’s moves, here’s some facts you may not have known about the infamous rapper.

1. Born Jamal Barrow, Shyne’s mother is Jewish, and he recently made the transition to Judaism. His official name now is Moses Michael Leviy.
2. Shyne’s father is the current Prime Minister of Belize. They have a terrible relationship, both basically not acknowledging each other.
3. Barrow has always claimed he acted in self-defense and only fired his gun after the other group, Matthew ‘Scar’ Allen and his crew began shooting
