Veteran Jamaican dancehall artist Mad Cobra took his name from a GI Joe character while in his teens. He’s been a steady performer ever since, widely known and respected in the ever growing dancehall scene. This single rep’s the “Real Music Vol 1″ comp and it’s a winner. Slow and low old school reggae dancehall with a message as old as language itself.

Contemporary reggae vibes comin’ strong from Natalie Pa’apa’a and Blue King Brown on their sparkly new single. Hot on the festival circuit and quickly making a name for themselves amongst reggae fans and political activists, BKB takes Jamaican dancehall and pipes it through a distinctly urban American platter. Fuel for the feet, food for the soul.

The reggaephonic vibes, as told by The Black Seeds and MC Ishu. Old skool dance hall riddims back up smart lyrical stylings with that certain bold positive flavor that is so right in this genre. Niceness!

Sleepy Wonder – “Ass On Her” mp3

Pure dancehall fun from Sleepy Wonder, outta Virginia Beach, VA. Well known for his work with the wonderful and overtly political Thievery Corporation, here we find our Sleepy in a decidedly club partyin’ mood. I’ve been digging this record since I posted the hit “Bounce” last year. Here’s another dose of that hip-hop-reggae hybrid that fills dance floors around the world.
