The Roots of Crazemas - for Afro

Frenz of NSS Afro & I bonded over our love & respect for all the same kind of 80s / 90s UK Dub as well as other feastival / rave stylings. I never tire of hearing stories of his adventures on the Sound System trails of that era. 

We have shared lots of Disciples, Dreadzone, & other D Dub. 

 

Here's a few various platters from his old friend, The Rootsman. We come rough.
