Song of the Week: “Show Love” with Kabaka Pyramid, Irie Souljah & Nature Makonnen. The trio have come together for a modern reggae anthem that speaks to the power of love and unity in divisive times. The track was released on Kushite Organic Records.

Your favorite reggae rock super group is back with a groovy love song. The track is appropriately titled featuring chill synth lines and laid back vocal style that definitely give an underwater vibe. It is the second single from their up coming “Island” EP.

The soulful reggae rocker from the east coast has recently added a new set of tunes (ten, to be exact) to his already successful musical repertoire. Lifeline is Joe Samba’s third full-length studio album via LAW Records, and it’s quickly becoming a staple in my daily routine (this album has a song for every occasion…). 

The new single by the all-star collab of Amp Live x Eric Rachmany (of Rebelution), is a dub-esque track with swirling tones backed by a steady crunchy beat. Its the latest in a series of releases this year that is worth going back to check out, a personal favorite is their cover of Cake’s 1998 “Never There”

Shwayze drops a new track for your Fourth of July party playlist. Single for the Summer (with Bryce Vine) is a rock/rap anthem with a big groove that will be in my rotation all day. The track was released by Ineffable Records.

To celebrate the release of the official music video, this week’s SOTW is YG Marley’s “Praise Jah in the Moonlight”. Few hits have have seen the cross-over success this track has and it shows no signs of slowing down. The new video is presented by Lyrical Lemonade and directed by Cole Bennett.

Sharon Marley and Big Youth have come together for a new track full of love and nostalgia. The heartwarming song is the first Gong Gyal Production and it is distributed by Tuff Gong International. The video is directed by Sharon’s daughter, visionary Donisha Prendergast!
