The Early Fall Sesh

8/15/2025
This week’s Frankie B’s Reggae Session brings together rising stars and reggae greats in one seamless mix. Nashville newcomer Levon Gray sets the tone with “Million Ways,” followed by Kayland Arnold’s smooth Florida groove on “U.” From Jamaica, Dahvid Slur teams with Karbon for “Do Jah Works,” while Claye and Gentleman bridge UK and EU sounds on “Nature (I Am Here Now).” Royal Blu, Mortimer, and Paris LaMont keep the energy high before the legendary Sister Nancy steps in with her classic “Bam Bam.” Yeza links with Rory Stonelove for “Road Runner,” Lila Ike and Protoje take us “All Over The World,” and Barrington Levy joins Cutty Ranks for “Dance Hall Rock.” After the break, Cocoa Tea and Tarrus Riley uplift with “Good Life,” Naomi Cowan keeps it fresh with “Up To Di Time,” and Protoje rides the rhythm on “Feel It.” Christopher Martin, Cham, Damian & Stephen Marley, and another Royal Blu x Protoje link-up lead to Dahvid Slur’s “If It’s Not For Me” and Johnny Osbourne’s stirring “We Need Love.” We wrap with a deep dive into dub, pulling the sound back to its roots.

The Samory I Session 2.0

1/20/2024
I caught up with Samory I the morning after his Album Release party for "Strength." 7 Years after our first interview and months before the release of Black Gold, a lot has changed in Samory's life. From his experience in the creation of Rory Stonelove's Black Gold, to his Collaboration with Winta James on the production of his new album Strength. I would say Samory I has evolved from a reggae singer to an artist and that his new Album should be a strong contender for next year's Grammys. Listen to our conversation, along with some of his most recent tracks, and understand why the artist, Samory I, and his new album, "Strength," are what you should be listening to right now.
