LINVAL THOMPSON Vinyl & CDs

Review: Linval Thompson's latest release, a limited edition 7" single featuring a new weed anthem, reaffirms his status as a reggae legend. Produced by JonQuan and mixed by Victor Rice, Thompson's energy shines through on both the original track and its dub version. With decades of experience in the industry, Thompson proves he's still at the top of his game. The catchy new song has the potential to become another classic ganja tune in reggae history.

Review: Nazamba & Dubsetters kicked off this new Finnish Dub & Sound label in a superb style recently and what better way to follow that up than with the reggae master, smoking king and weed aficionado Linval Thompson. This might sound like one of his classic lost cuts from the 70s but it is actually an all new tune from the Jamaican reggae icon. Dubsetters provide the gentle, percussive rhythms which are organic and deep, with Linval's smooth mic work up top adding to the global conversation about the decriminalization of cannabis. Flip it over for an even more mellow and dubbed out sound on the B-side.
