Part 1: Word

For this selection I decided to focus on foundation roots music that paved the way for the variety of styles we play on the sound system today, and kept it to tunes I feel are lyrically strong, with a few dub pieces here and there. These are some of my favourite roots tunes that always sound full and heavy on the sound.
