Sampler ONE by Rootz Radicals

With SAMPLER ONE, Rootz Radicals has published 13 of their most popular Songs. For the first period of time, the sampler was available for free download on the official Rootz Radicals homepage www.rootzradicals.com, which has found international acclaim. A snapshot of the band’s current work that gives intriguing insights into the unmistakable sound of Rootz Radicals.

Many of the songs on the sampler come with a music video, for example
GAL WEH IN DEH, GROUNDED, WAY WE ALL COME FROM or AUGUST TOWN SOUND. The latter was recorded in Jamaica and deals with life in August Town, a deprived, yet uprising community bordering on the University Campus in Kingston. Next to band members Uno Jahma and Chris Eastwood, AUGUST TOWN SOUND features then 12-year old artist Zion from August Town. Zion’s talent immediately caught the attention of producer Chris who noticed him singing near the University gate that separates August Town and the Campus. Chris was a student at the University of the West Indies back then, and little did he know that only two years after he invited Zion to join the ROOTZ RADICALS video, Zion would sing the intro hook to DJ Khaled’s HOLY MOUNTAIN.

Furthermore, on SAMPLER ONE, Rootz Radicals Singer Uno Jahma joins forces with Anthony B on LET JAH FIRE BURN and with Rebellion the Recaller on GROUNDED. Both of these conscious and heavy Roots tunes are exemplary for the innovative style of the five-member live band and producer team from Germany. SAMPLER ONE outlines the versatility and musical range of Rootz Radicals. From authentic Rocksteady in FRESH WEED to state-of-the-art Afrobeats in BAD GOVERNMENT which hit the Global Reggae Charts at 11 in 2018. With GAL WEH IN DEH, WAY WE ALL COME FROM, LOST PARADISE, and MEDI PON DI ISHENS, Rootz Radicals have established their very own and unique sound in the Reggae sector.
