Out Side Dogg, Essential Russian Reggae: If you’re like me, you probably had no idea that Russian reggae even existed, but it does and OutSideDogg has compiled the best reggae his country has to offer. The first few songs might throw you off a little but, once you get used to the language and the fact that you’re not going to understand anything, the riddims begin to sound familiar and the whole mix becomes relaxing. You can tell that most of the singers and deejays on these songs have skills and the music is solid. Grab this mix, and surprise your friends. Stream below:
