Royal City Reggae
37 Quebec St N1H 2T1 Guelph, ON, Canada

On tonight’s episode of Nicky Dread & The Crooked Beat the Solomon riddim, made famous by Derrick Harriott’s 1967 song of the same name, is featured, showing ...the riddim’s transition through the years. There’s new music from Canadian & Quebecois artists - Jah Lex (Montréal) & Neto Yuth (Québec City). I’ll drop new tracks from Lila Iké, Sandra Cross, Tuff Like Iron, Vision Alexander & Jesse Royal, and Buju Banton. And, as always, you’ll hear Reggae music with many upful messages, as we commemorate Juneteenth.

Tonight on The Crooked Beat (CFRU-FM 93.3 or cfru.ca)- Remembering Nigerian singer Majek Fashek. We're coming global tonight. From Papua New Guinea to Hawai'i;... Poland, Germany, England & France; Senegal & Nigeria. We touch down in Guelph for a brand new single from Foundation Steppas. A thing called "Revolution", and they mean it. We've got new music from Jamaica - including Jah9 and Dancehall from Elephant Man, Flourgon & Jahmiel. Plus, revolutionary music that didn't make it on last week's "Turn The Tide" show. This is show number 12 since the Covid-19 lockdown started, recorded in my home studio.

On this show I stand with those who suffer under the knees of racist police and their institutions. Reggae is message music that condemns inequalities and downpression. 2 hours of Reggae Revolutions from around the world - expressions of police brutality from as far away as Indonesia, and as close as Toronto. We can surely turn the tide!

DJ Nicky Dread on air from 7 till 9pm each and every Thursday on CFRU 93.3 FM.
