Show Notes
Sorry, I bailed on you last Month! To make it up to you, I not only packed this episode with the most bumping, grooving, and jamming Reggae tracks out now (that you probably haven't heard), but I also caught up with Young Vintage, aka Samory I, about his deluxe version of Strength with three new tracks including the dubs created by Tippy I Grade!
