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.
