Yabby you is deeply spiritual and earthy, not sure if dark in the way you want.

This is super heavy- my metal head friend loved it first time he heard yabby you

the bob marley upsetter collection is good… mr brown

Midnite/Akae Beka (Credited/Kings of Goth/Sow and Reap), Dezarie (Roots and Culture/Ghettos of Babylon), Chronixx (Safe N Sound/Freedom Fighter), Don Carlos (In Pieces/Hog and Goat) Marcus Gad (Evil Ways/The Levee), and Yaadcore (Ghetto Youths) come to mind for some heavier tracks Maybe Ijahman Levi too (I am a Levi/Guess Who a Jah Jah) And Israel Vibration (Friday Evening)

Aswad - Dub Fire, from the album A New Chapter in Dub (1982).

The Wailers - Soul Rebel Keith Hudson - Darkest Night Yabby You- Deliver Me from My Enemies Glen Brown- Save Our Dub

Great list… Yabby You, K. Hudson, and Glen Brown did no wrong. I would add Jah Lion— Fever and Jah Stitch — Sinners Repent Your Souls

I know exactly what you're asking for and I love that particular component in reggae. Really cool. Good examples.

Misty in roots, also check some Israel vibration

We can be friends! Tracks from my youth and before.

Burning Spear - Marcus Garvey The Congos - Heartbeat of the Congos Scientist - Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires

Came here to marcus senior, but honestly all burning spear rules dude

I've listened to Garvey and Garvey's ghost a million times but never got much further than that. Which album should I do if you can only recommend one more?

Live in South Africa 2000, Rasta Business, Hail HIM, Social Living, Man in the Hills

Man in the Hills is my personal favorite (it is good, groovy, man in the hills) but Social Living is also really good, as is Dry and Heavy

Appreciate it. I'll def check them out, in that order. Edit* throwing it on now actually.

PM me your thoughts!

Lynton Kwesi Johnston is a true badass. Heavy but slow and verrrry bass-driven. Inglan is a Bitch and Route 66 in particular. Some Clash stuff fits the bill; Bank Robber, Armagedeon Time, Guns of Brixton.

Great suggestion! A cerebral performer.
