notes
Roots Radics started informally in 1978 as a group of well-known & respected artists brought together by superstar Gregory Isaacs to back his recording endeavors. The concept of being a “group” really stuck as they continued to back Isaacs’ as well as Yellowman, Eek-A-Mouse, Clint Eastwood & General Saint, The Wailing Souls, Don Carlos, Linval Thompson, Frankie Paul, The Meditations, Sugar Minott, Shinehaed, Culture, Bunny Wailer, Prince Far-I, Adrian Sherwood and many others.
The Roots Radics special sound is rootsy, heavy and danceable. They are masters of the cool and deadly “one-drop” sound. “Hot We Hot Dub” is the hot dub version of the RAS release “Hot We Hot”. Originally released as a cassette-only by ROIR in 1989, it has now been digitally re-mastered for CD with two bonus tracks produced by Dwight Pinkney. Never before available on CD!
In Dub history the Roots Radics were the musicians on a majority of Scientist’s historic productions. And under the pseudonym “The Arabs”, backed Prince Far-I on his most crucial Dub recordings. As recording artists on their own merits, the Roots Radics have released records for RAS, Heartbeat, and Taboui Records.
