Sorry, I bailed on you last Month!  To make it up to you, I not only packed this episode with the most bumping, grooving, and jamming Reggae tracks out now (that you probably haven't heard), but I also caught up with Young Vintage, aka Samory I, about his deluxe version of Strength with three new tracks including the dubs created by Tippy I Grade!  I feel like this makes us Even Steven. In addition, we have some killer new releases from Kumar, Imeru Tafari, Loud City, Protoje, Busy Signal, Victor Rice, Skip Marley, and More.  Check the track Listing Below: You Will Know - Samory I In Every Country - Busy Signal 1930 - Imeru Tafar - Off his new Album “The Essential” Clean Up Your House - Kumar meets the 13th Parallel   Top Ranking - JonQuan, Ranking Joe and Victor Rice Strictly Love - KA$E, Loud City, ZJ Sparks - Island Waves (Volume 2) Close - Skip Marley 80’s Wild - Protoje - The Jamaican Situation Soundtrack After the Break, we speak to Samory a little more about his track: Clouds - Samory I Protect My Soul -Imeru Tafari & Samory I Things We Once Knew - Kumar Meets The 18th Parallel Barrel Bun - - Protoje - The Jamaican Situation Soundtrack Overflow - Jesse Royal, Loud City, ZJ Sparks Fire - Hector Roots Lewis (Feat J.

I'm on vacation, so no intro.  We get straight to the music.  In the first 30 min section, we start out with some new tracks from Medisun, a few Cali Reggae Tracks, Kabaka P with Royal Blu, Protoje, and a new track from Mortimer that gets us closer to his new album.  Then, after a break we hit you with the Riddim Section with new Riddims with great artists throughout for the middle 30 mins. Lastly, we end the show with a Deep Dive into Dub.

The Marley Session goes beyond just music. We delve deep into the life of Bob Marley and his ideologies and provide insight with dedicated sections for interviews and music; we explore various facets of the Marley family and their tremendous contribution to Reggae music. So just sit back and relax, while we guide you on an exceptional journey through the life and ethos of Bob Marley. Afterwards we celebrate the Marley Family by playing songs from 2 more generations of this amazing family.    In the end, let's not forget Bob Marley's message of unity, liberation, and love for the land. His music is his legacy—a legacy that we have the privilege to unpack, understand and appreciate. Welcome to the Marley Session—a tribute to a legend like no other.

I caught up with Samory I the morning after his Album Release party for "Strength."  7 Years after our first interview and months before the release of Black Gold, a lot has changed in Samory's life. From his experience in the creation of Rory Stonelove's Black Gold, to his Collaboration with Winta James on the production of his new album Strength.  I would say Samory I has evolved from a reggae singer to an artist and that his new Album should be a strong contender for next year's Grammys.  Listen to our conversation, along with some of his most recent tracks, and understand why the artist, Samory I, and his new album, "Strength," are what you should be listening to right now.   

Happy Holidays to All!  There is no Intro, Just an Hour + of New and Old Christmas Tracks from VP, Tuff Gong, Upmost, and More!  Take 2023 out, spreading Love and Joy.  Thank you for listening to The Session in 2023.    We will start 2024 with a New Samory I session on January 20th.    More Peace, More Love, More Understanding
