Selector! takes inspiration from music so it's only fitting we take the time to promote some in return! The UK's Roots Manuva, is back at it again with a new album on the horizon. The son of Jamaican parents, Manuva's music transcends hip-hop, dancehall and much more. Check him inna reggae stylee here.

Shabba!

We couldn't make it to the Deadly Dragon "Give Thanks" event we sponsored in NYC on Monday November 26, being on the wrong coast and all...but by all accounts we really missed out on an incredible time featuring the announced acts: Downbeat the Ruler - Father Downbeat Tony Screw, Selector Cojie of Mighty Crown, Jing Teng, Chozen Lee, Sadiki, Johnny Osbourne, Teflon and DJ souljah. But everyone knows the best prize is a surprise, and no doubt everyone was elated when the legendary Shabba Ranks showed up for a performance!
