Last year we started Down Town Top Ranking as a way for us Deadly Dragon folks to showcase serious Jamaican foundation music from Ska to Rocksteady; from early Reggae to Roots; from rub a dub to even some new tunes that hearken back to that original style. Along the way we have had the pleasure of hosting some of our favorite selectors, sounds and performers from both around the way and around the world. And over the past couple months Down Town Top Ranking has been joined by Brand New Machine -- a killer party of up to tha time Dancehall with Max Glazer (Federation Sound) , DJ AUTOGRAPH, Whyteboy Chris and guests. Foundation Upstairs, Dancehall Downstairs! Wicked!!!
Max Glazer & Micro Don!
We were recently joined by the great singer BUSHMAN who celebrated the release of his new CD, BUSHMAN SINGS THE BUSH DOCTOR: A TRIBUTE TO PETER TOSH. Bushman grabbed the mic for a wicked session of his classic tunes and some of the Peter Tosh selections that grace his new CD. We were blessed to have the man and paid tribute by digging up some of our favorite Peter Tosh tunes for the massive dem which included the great producer Clive Chin and plenty of artists including NY's own Willow Wilson
Bushman on the mic!
Willow Wilson!
