orange street rocking

i was meaning to put together a mix of rocksteady and early reggae for a long while, and figured this was the perfect time of year to get to it. every track on here is a certified classic, so increase the bass, bump the level to 11 and enjoy the ride. it's rocking time!

This is a mixtape I made back in 2006 right before the death of James Brown. I was inspired by a James Brown mix that J.Rocc did. So instead of doing another James Brown mix like everyone else at the time of his death, I created this tribute mix for one of Chicago's most influential native son's. Enjoy!!!
