J-Reggae compilations on iTunes?

May 7, 2009 7:27 AM

I am looking for suggestions for Japanese Reggae (preferably compilation albums) which would be available on iTunes Japan.

I've fallen in love with J-Reggae (and J-Hip Hop) and all the music on my iTouch is currently one of those two styles. I received a Japan iTunes gift card and I'd like to add to my collection of J-Reggae. I am looking mostly for compilation albums because of the variety factor.

Currently I have been listening to the "Di Vibes" 2002 compilation way too much. Favorites include Ryo the Skywalker - Ikanimo, Ryo the Skywalker - From Distance, Maji-Man - Katana, Soul Eye - 電源 (Dengen), Home Grown (feat.Pushim,Moomin,Papa U-Gee,Ryo the Skywalker,Fire Ball,Keyco&Papa-B) - Oasis and Moomin (feat. Corn Head,Rude Boy Face) - 禁断の森 (Kindan no Mori).

Based on this, can anyone suggest similar J-Reggae available on iTunes Japan?

Best answer: I'm not familiar with Japanese reggae but I always take a look at the Tower Records JP website when looking for new Japanese hip-hop. They tend to recommend really good albums.
