All Reggae/Neo-Reggae Episodes

It’s been 4 years between SOJA records, but with the release of Beauty in the Silence, fans can once again rejoice. It’s a superb record with lots of great guests, so we caught up with Jacob Hemphill to talk about the new rec...

In the Moment is the seventh album from neo-reggae artists Rebelution. To proclaim this band simply a reggae outfit wouldn’t do their sound justice. This record was recorded over the pandemic and for the first time since the ...

Rebelution's latest album Dub Collection features 15 dub versions of the band's hits, and another five tracks, is absolutely a fun listen. I've been a fan of Rebelution's message, and their music, and so being reintroduced to...
