1.
Samory I – Black Gold
2.
Damian Marley – Stony Hill
3.
Courtney John – Ecosystem
4.
Junior Natural feat. Sly &
Robbie – Militant
5.
Frightnrs – More To Say
Versions
6.
Jesse Royal – Lily of Da Valley
7.
Chronixx – Chronology
8.
Ghetto Priest – Every Man For
Every Man
9.
Spiritual – Awakening
10.
Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry &
Subatomic Sound System – Super Ape Returns to Conquer
Special mention for this digital only
release: Randy Valentine – New Narrative. Love it.
Didn’t get that many singles this year, but
do want to make special mention of the return of Roots Tribe / Slimmah Sound to
the recording scene with two wicked, brand new 45s by Mark Wonder and Danny Red. Here's hoping for more in 2018. :)
