Best of The Sesh: The Hempire Strikes Back (5/25/2014

Author: Frankie B April 19, 2023 Duration: 1:24:34
As we come down to the last day before Season 11.  I wanted to hit you with a 420 friendly episode.  The Hempire Strikes Back is one of those episodes that aged really well (which I can't say for all of my early episodes) with great artists, great music and running close to and hour and a half, it should keep you busy until tomorrow's episode! Season 11 airs in 1 day and is packed with great music, including a good taste of the Newly Released, Ziggy Stardub, a reggae reimagining of David Bowie’s The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, and features guest performances by Maxi Priest, Steel Pulse, Fishbone, Alex Lifeson (Rush), Vernon Reid (Living Colour), The Skints, Mortimer, The Expanders, Samory I, and many others.  It seriously is a beautiful Reggae Tribute to a Legend!   Packages of the album are available here, including royal blue colored vinyl along with CD and exclusive t-shirt offerings. 

Dive into the warm, bass-heavy currents of reggae and dub with Frankie B’s Reggae Session. This isn't just a playlist; it's a curated journey through the culture's vast spectrum, hosted by selector Frankie B. You'll hear the foundational deep roots and conscious riddims alongside the thunder of classic sound system cuts and the latest modern island heat. The magic of this podcast lies in the blend-Frankie seamlessly mixes rare vinyl gems dug from the crates with brand-new releases and those timeless anthems that never fade. Each episode is built as a continuous, flowing vibe, moving from heavyweight dubs to smooth lovers rock and the straight fire emanating from scenes in Kingston, London, and LA. It’s a session dedicated to the soul of the music, offering both education for newcomers and deep cuts for seasoned heads. Tuning in feels like getting a personal transmission from a knowledgeable friend who lives for the rhythm. So, for an authentic, immersive experience in reggae culture, this is the podcast to find.
