I cannot remember the last time a conscious artist hit our #1 spot, much less a singer. I could be mistaken but I'm thinking it may be all the way back in 2001 when artists as VC and George Nooks were red-hot; ya know "By His Deeds" and "God Is Standing By". Anyways: Richie Spice did it, so congrats out to the entire 5th Element family (easy Kim). Always having been talented, Richie has really busted out in 2003, 2004 and 2005, and the effects can be felt all the way in New Mexico now as well. Just check his debut album on 5th Element entitled "Spice In Your Life". Not one weaker moment on the entire project, so those of you who are looking for modern roots & culture, THIS IS IT!!! The other man of the hour has to be Baby Cham, who has 3 tunes in our top 5 alone. For an artist with not that much output, he surely strikes gold quite often, refusing to release mediocre tunes whatsoever. Pretty clever scheme him and DAve Kelly seem to have developed, because it surely is working. Further entires on Dave's BAD GAL riddim include Spice by herself, as well as in a combination with Toi, the latter currently clocking in at #3. Black Chiney's KOPA still is faring well, with 3 tracks (at #4, #9 and #15), as is H2O's SLOW BOUNCE with selections from Nicky B and the warlord-turned pum-pum mechanic, Bounty Killer. Brand-new on the KLYMAXX is Capleton's wicked "Place Burn Down", while his "Ask For What You Want" on John John's CHICATITA charts at #20. All of the last three riddims have been licensed and released by Greensleeves and you can check their full reviews at www.brotherhoodsound.com.

The remainder of this chart is on the rootsy tip, with Lion Paw's 2004 riddim 9-11 (that's right NINE ELEVEN) hitting hard this time with no less than 4 tracks through the voices of Jah Cure, Richie Spice (again), Bushman and Warrior King. I-Wayne climbed back up to #7, Chuck Fender's "I Swear" re-entered at # 16 and Bounty Killer & Pinchers 2004 remake of "Bandolero" (yeah the 1991 hit) jumps on board as well. Many roots fans consider the HARD TIMES riddim (one of the last projects that ET Thompson who passed away last November had his hands on, together with Joe Gibbs' son Gibbo) the real heavyweight in the roots arena these days, and the beat is represented by Capleton's "That Day Will Come" this time (with further killer tunes from I-Wayne and Bascom X (amongst others) bubbling under.

Plenty more music is on its way in the near future. Mario-C will be releasing his follow-up to the SCOOBAY and South Rakkas' BIONIC RAS is sounding very promising again with the singles out now and Greensleeves picking up the project soon come. There is a crucial roots riddim coming out of Germany entitled CRYSTAL WOMAN, with a resemblance to the massive DOCTORS DARLING (which was also outta Germany-easy Pionear).

That's it for now. See you in the dance, or check us on the air/net;
