thats whats up man,that would be hard.To yall sleepin on roots music,step ya music up cuz they say alot of real shit in alot of songs aside from being really good music.
Malika Madremana from Oakland,she tight as hell.I seen her perform at Dreadstock last year in Vallejo.I'd like to get her on a track and she's still pretty new.She puts on a good live show and speaks on alot of real shit.She had a song called "check face" that was tight,she's a teacher iin I think EPA or Oakland so she said thats where she got the name of the song from.

Native Elements from Daly City is pretty good,they been around for a minute and you can find them playing at Pier 23 alot.They are good live too.

And if you see any up coming Reggae shows,preferably the big ones I suggest you hit them up esp if you like seeing breezies of all races(notch ones too tho) and like smokin cuz that shit is in the air THICK.Raggamuffin fest from a couple weeks ago in Frisco was hella tight.
man I know what you mean.After listening to these artists so much since a kid,its hella tight seeing them live.I seen Gregory Isaacs bout 3 weeks ago and that shit was tight as hell.Also seen Barrington Levy when he was in Vallejo,shit was hella tight too.But seeing Gregory,a legend in the game,it was good to see.

I copped his own CD a while back and was disappointed, he okay on all them Sickwidit cuts but really he ain't that skilled as far as reggae is concerned.
I know this BART but if you're going to listen to dancehall or reggae you may as well look to where that sound come from, Rankin Scroo ain't really that skilled.
He's kinda old school and his flow is real basic, he don't really got skills like some of these new cats got. Dudes like Vybz Kartel and are hyped.
Really I can only listen to it for a minute before I get bored but some of it is sick, a lot of the dancehall ish is hella hyped on beats like 110-120 BPM.
I think cats would feel some of that alongside Hyphy. Shit is heavy round here, its all they play 80% of the time on the pirate radio stations and its big at any function.
