Rock the Nation has for ambition to promote, braodcast, make discover to the world the Jamaican music, but more in general carribean music (Reggae, Dancehall, Soca, Gwo Ka, Compa...).
Founded in 2002 by the original selectors Jah Rabbi (R.I.P.) and Supa Junior (nowadays known as Supa Jay) with for main purpose to promote the youg Reggae scene (singers, DJs) but also Hip Hop.
A first mix-cds serie, "Rock the Nation" (from vol. 01 to vol. 17), lays the foundations of this young sound sytem, alternating between ska, roots, early digital, dancehall, hip hop and remix selections...
A second compilation serie, "Secret Love" (from vol. 01 to vol. 10) launched in 2003 when Massive G and Sista Kiwi joined the crew.
During those years, Rocjk the Nation Sound built a little arsenal of dubplates from famous artists but also from young upcoming singers-DJs such as Lady Shelly, Bramma, Wasp, Ali, McKoy, Shenko... in the showed purpose of making them known by the most part of you.
Since the end of the year 2006, massive G has proposed a mixtape serie titled "Blood Pressure" (vol. 01 and 02, the Vol. 03 is now on preparation), in which we find a mix of reggae and Westcoas hip hop blends. That's what made the crew hang around the Compton's native rapper The Game's label Black Wall Street (BWS) ; and Massive G is now the official promoter of BWS Europe in France.
More and more, Rock the Nation cooks a melting pot of styles and proposes more and more US rappers (but also Jamaicans, Germans...) on reggae-dancehall riddims.
At the start of 2008, new compilation series are dropping, with respectively Dancehall, Easy Rock, Early Digital, Rocksteady, Soca, Roots and Remix... All those mix-cds are dropping on this page, and will be, as usual available in free downloads...
Reeditions of older compilations are also on our mind...
For any question, please leave us a message here.
Rock the Nation a pour ambition de promotionner, diffuser, faire découvrir au plus grand nombre la musique jamaïquaine, mais plus généralement carribéenne (Reggae, Dancehall, Soca, Gwo Ka, Compa...).
Créé en 2002 par les sélecteurs originaux Jah Rabbi (R.I.P.) et Supa Junior (maintenant connu comme Supa Jay) avec pour principal objectif de promotionner la jeune scène Reggae (chanteurs, DJs) mais aussi Hip Hop.
Une première série de mix-cds, "Rock the Nation" vol. 01 à vol. 17, établit les bases de ce jeune sound system, alternant les sélections ska, roots, early digital, dancehall, hip hop et remix...
Une deuxième série de compilations, "Secret Love" vol. 01 à 10, adressée aux ladies avec des sélections easy rock, zouk, dancehall, r&b voit le jour en 2003 quant Massive G et Sista Kiwi rejoignent le crew.
Durant ces années, le Rock the Nation Sound s'est construit un petit arsenal de dubplates d'artistes célèbres, mais aussi de jeunes chanteurs-DJs moins connus tels que Lady Shelly, Bramma, Wasp, Ali, McKoy, Shenko... dans le but non dissimulé de les faire connaître au plus grand nombre d'entre vous.
Depuis fin 2006, Massive G propose une série de mixtapes intitulée "Blood Pressure" (vol. 01 et 02, le vol. 03 est actuellement en préparation), dans lesquelles on retrouve un mélange de reggae et de sonorités Hip Hop Westcoast. Ce qui à ammené le crew à se rapprocher du label Black Wall Street (BWS) cher au rappeur natif de Compton The Game ; et Massive G est maintenant le promoteur officiel de BWS Europe en France.
De plus en plus, Rock the Nation procède à un métissage des styles et propose de plus en plus de rappeurs US (mais aussi jamaïquains, allemands...) sur des riddims reggae-dancehall.
Debut 2008, de nouvelles séries de compilations mixées voient le jour, proposant respectivement Dancehall, Easy Rock, Early Digital, Rocksteady, Soca, Roots et Remix... Tous ces mix-cds arrivent peu à peu sur cette page, et seront, comme d'habitude, en téléchargement gratuit...
Des rééditions des compilations passées sont également prévues...
Pour toute question, laissez nous un message ici...
