Hugh Beresford Hammond, born August 28, 1955, is a legendary Jamaican singer and the undisputed icon of romantic Lovers Rock reggae. Gifted with a smoky, soulful voice reminiscent of Sam Cooke, he began his career in the 1970s with the band Zap Pow before achieving massive solo success in the 1990s. His signature hits include "Rock Away," "I Feel Good," and "Tempted To Touch." In 2013 he was honored with the Order of Jamaica for his exceptional musical contributions.

Dive into the deep, rhythmic currents of sound with REGGAE / DUB / DANCEHALL / HIPHOP, a weekly musical journey curated by SELECTA JAHKEEM. This isn't just a playlist; it's a carefully crafted session where the roots of reggae meet the echoing chambers of dub, the energetic flow of dancehall commands the space, and the bold beats of hiphop provide a powerful counterpoint. Each episode feels like a live set, a seamless blend where transitions are as important as the tracks themselves, revealing the shared DNA and the thrilling contrasts between these genres. Jahkeem's selections pull from both classic anthems and contemporary cuts, creating a dynamic listening experience that honors tradition while pushing the sound forward.
