Ranking Dread "Kunta Kinte Roots" LP

For fans of: roots reggae, early dancehall, and sound-system culture. Ranking Dread rides deep Channel One-style rhythms with a direct, militant delivery on this roots-reggae set. Raw, defant, and steeped in heavy roots reality, Kunta Kinte Roots captures Ranking Dread at the height of his powers -- riding the rhythm with fre and authority over deep Channel One-style dub backdrops. These recordings embody the militant sound of late-'70s Jamaica: hypnotic basslines, echo-drenched horns, and Dread's commanding voice calling for strength, pride, and liberation. The legendary "Kunta Kinte" story lies at the heart of the session-- its legacy driving each track like a chapter in the roots revolution. UPC: 5036436161928
