Safari Sound, It Takes A Lot to Make A Classic Vol. 1The always clean and criss Safari Sound (Shirkhan & Sammy K) are no strangers to this column, as they stay at the forefront of reggae and dancehall music and consistently deliver some of the finest mixtapes in the game. This mix marked a fresh collaboration with Reebok Classics, which in turn spawned an uber-limited t-shirt to compliment the music. In the spirit of the classics concept— as well as Jamaica’s 50th Independence celebration this year—Safari compiled 50 of their favorite reggae scorchers from the 70’s and early 80’s affirming that the crates, culture and inspiration run very deep. Salute to Safari every time. Stream and download below, tracklist and more info here.
