Island Reggae

who here listens to Island Reggae? a lot of you might not know what I'm talking about, but basically its reggae from the Pacific Islands...

right now I'm listening to The Green from Hawaii... they're pretty dope!! chill type music

 

never heard of this type of music

 

Pepper is pretty dope.from the big island. Jack johnson of course....Heard Some IZ tonight. Classic. Dirty Heads are from cali, but theyre good in the sublime type vein..actually so is pepper, purty much... no one will replace sublime tho. Like the Expendables. Theyre more Punk-ish.

Stephen and Damian Marley ...just because.
King chango, Iration, Rebelution, 10'Ganja plant;Cultura Profetica; Manu chao;
Found SO much new/different shit bookmarking artists from pandora.com :]

 

what? you must be living under a lava rock or somethin!!

i got that IZ and Rebelution on rotation right now. here's some other dope artists you should check out... Katchafire, Natural Vibrations, & Rebel Souljahz

 

nice, I will have to look them up. always down for new beats

heres a vid from the Dirty heads. Its been on the radio here and there, but despite that, theyre still pretty tight imo.

That is good music... thank you (now we just need an XM channel for it)! Sounds like the Key West(?) style reggae as played on 'Meet The Fockers' during the party.

 

I mostly list to roots and dancehall raggae

 

House Of Shem from New Zealand

Very nice New Zealand reggae, thank you!

 

Tribal Seeds and Rebelution are good. I also like Groundation.

 

iration, tribal seeds, rebalution, SOJA, all super sick!!!

 

are forgetting about Slightly Stoopid anybody?

 

oh yeah how stoopid of me they are sick! I saw slightly stoopid in concert and it was badass.

 

If you wanna talk about real P.I. reggae, then you have to mention, Oshen, Ekolu, Katchafire, Kontiki, Laga Savea, J Boog, Kohomua, Big Every Time, Pati, Pau Hana, Fiji, Aziel, just to name a few.
Rebelution, Slightly Stoopid, Pepper, are all realy good bands, but theyre considered white boy reggae

 

dam they're really good!

 

Jr114 said it perfectly
