Today Is Right Here
Horace Andy cut his first record back in 1967 and countless classics in the years since ("Skylarking", "Fever," "See A Man's Face," "Every Tongue Shall Tell," his version of ""Ain't No Sunshine," "Government Land" "Money Money," "Child of the Ghetto," "Love Is The Light," and on and on). He released the essential 'Dance Hall Style' LP in 1982, gained much deserved notice outside of reggae via his work with Massive Attack in the 1990s, and now at age 71 has released one of the best albums of year.

Bombing The System!
Fare thee well to Keith Grayson, better known as DJ Kay Slay aka DEZZY DEZ. If you’re of a certain age and grew up in NYC, you know his massive importance in our street culture: graffiti, DJing, mixtapes, publishing... the man rocked it all. Another truly sad loss from Covid, and gone way too young. Rest In Peace.
