[Closed] The sweetest reggae thread.

Have a look/listen to the Trojan Roots compilation albums. They tend to be pretty cheap and are good for tasters of reggae sub-genres..

I like it low and heavy and rootsy myself if at all possible..
Otherwise, Midnite are pretty good for current roots stuff.

YES! BEST THREAD EVER!
