The Dubroom reviews a lot of different material, from musical to educational to beneficial and more. We've got music, but also material for artists and producers as well as researchers of more conscious material. As always, when the Dubroom reviews something, this means that this website considers the material at least fair. So don't expect any negative reviews. When it's here, we recommend it. Period.

RAS MESSENGERS - "EGYPT LAND" (1982)
DUBROOM VIDEO REVIEW

WWW, April 2008 - Admitted: the title of this incomplete, three-minute Nyabinghy session by the UK based Ras Messengers recorded in 1982 is a guess of yours truly.

Actually, the session is taken from the movie "Race, Rhetoric, Rastafari" by Jamaican film maker Barbara Blake-Hanna which you can check out on www.reggaefilms.co.uk. The video deals with racism in the UK during the early 1980's and has -next to Ras Messengers- music by I Jah Man Levi and others.

STEELE - SLAVE DRIVER
DUBROOM VIDEO REVIEW

WWW, April 2008 - In this excellent video produced by Wayne Benjamin, Jamaican Reggae Vocalist Steele sings the traditional "Slave Driver" in a non-traditional way

Half way through the video, the Nyabinghy drums drop in an otherwise completely drum-less track. It's all about the words, and they are sung beautifully by Jamaican Reggae vocalist Steele.

CAPLETON, BOBO ZARO AND CONTRACTOR - PAIN
DUBROOM VIDEO REVIEW

WWW, April 2008 - As they ride on a minimalistic riddim, the three vocalists chant truth and right. They do it with Reggae toasting, singing and even rap.

This videoclip is actually quite remarkable. There's some real Hip Hop style rapping, there's a singing Capleton, and it never becomes chaotic. The video perfectly illustrates the words, and is produced by a director who is not afraid to show his excellent work to the online (DUB) Reggae community.

QUEEN IFRICA AND STEELE - NEW WORLD ORDER
DUBROOM VIDEO REVIEW

WWW, April 2008 - "Is This the New World That You Order?", asks Steele in this video directed by Wayne Benjamin. Queen Ifrica joins the singer and Chants Down Babylon One More Time!

There's way too little female Toasters, but the ones that are there are usually quite strong. Queen Ifrica is one of them, and in this video she performs with Reggae singer Steele as they Chant Down Babylon One More Time.

ISRAEL VIBRATION - LIVITY IN THE HOOD
DUBROOM VIDEO REVIEW

WWW, April 2008 - Livity In The Hood is hard what that hood is a concrete jungle. In 3 minutes and 39 seconds, Israel Vibration shows what life in the ghetto is all about.

"You got to give respect, to get respect", sings the Jamaican Vocal Harmony Group that started off with their legendary album The Same Song. It sounds like the obvious, but when you live in the ghetto the obvious becomes a mechanism of survival.
