-Cornell Campbell, U Roy or Jah Breeze coming into the pure roots selections, together wid another of the session BIG highlights, the first spins to the series of 7 and 12 inch releases from north-american label Rhygin Records!

Wid their head-quarter since 2004 in Santa Cruz, California, and surrounded by a highest quality collective of musicians, producers, sound engineers and djs, reggae and soul music foundations are guaranteed in the 100% analogical production coming from Rhyghin Records!

Sandollar Sound, The Rhyghin Rockers, The Rhythm Doctors are a few of the elements from the crew, wid a special mention to the presence of Jamaican legend Cedric ‘Im Brooks! All committed to create some of the most extraordinary roots &rockers sounding, dubs and instrumentals, that we have heard in this new millennium!

Self titled, The Revival Sounds of Now, by listening to Rhyghin Records sounds and checking all the production work from dis releases (soon coming out in another vinil edition!), we realize that Rhyghin Records, not only pays tribute to reggae music original industry, as most importantly, ‘lives’ in Jamaican 70Ts!

-Revival roots selections in high rotation all over the session, wid recoveries and new tunes from: : Joshua Alo, Emeterians, I-Plant, No More Babylon, Informative Historyman, King Django…alongside the highlight to new albums, dis week bringing back a 2007 Stubborn Records release. The Hardest, from original and versatile Predator Dub Assassins!

Created in 2001, Predator Dub Assassins are one of the most praised Roots Reggae bands in New Jersey.
Formed around Ras Timothy a.k.a. Predator One, the well trained Dub Assassins travel through various Jamaican reggae music styles, from Ska, Early-Reggae, Rub-a-Dub or Roots Reggae, always the original touch, typical in the creative and ground-breaking New Jersey underground music scene.

The Self titled debut, Predator Dub Assassins from 2005, introduced the group to legendary King Django, which instantly welcomed them to the Version City crew, releasing in 2007, the second work, The Hardest, at Stubborn Records.

There are at least 3 highlights worth of mention in The Hardest, one of the best releases from the revival north-American movement in the latest years, wid King Django’s high quality production topping the list!
Tunes like The Good You Do, Prophets & Revolutionaires, Y Mas Gan or The Emperor Strikes Back, are musically well placed in Stubborn Records tradition, and show well King Django contribution and dedication to The Hardest!

The Revival approach from Predator Dub Assassins is amazing in any of the many styles the group brings back to life, and once again Version City crew plays a big role, wid ex-members from classic New Jersey/New York bands like The Toasters, Bomb Town, Inspector 7 or Hub City Stompers, bringing in all their creativity and years of music culture into Dub Assassins sound!

The perfect scenarios for Predator One bring out all his vocal and lyrical versatility all over the 12 tunes in The Hardest!
Classic Jamaican Deejay Style, Singjay and Rub-A-Dub, as well a great dosage of tunes showing all the seventies roots & culture essence, show that Predator is a gifted singer; alongside King Django and Rocker T surely of the greatest voices from this little Big musical world that we found in New Jersey!

The Hardest displays all of this, wid highlight to tunes like Love is the Foundation, Sufferation, Sons of Negus, Marigwana or Air Force One, that places our hearth in Jamaica, to feed all the original reggae vibes, wid the a feeling and lyrical display that prove the love the Predator Dub Assassins have for Jamaican music foundations!

Despite being from 2007, The Hardest is already a classic Stubborn Records release, a label destined to surprise every time, wid class A productions and a roll of original and gifted artists. Always something new inspired by the vintage!
Also to listen every month in one of the most original podcasts we can find over the web, Version City podcast, presented by Steady Rocker and King Django!
