Some artists belong to a moment. Johnny Osbourne is part of the evolution of reggae, dating back to the 1960s and the Studio One world, to the raw energy of 1980s dancehall. Osbourne didn’t just adapt to change; he carried his voice through it all while delivering his unique vocal style. Studio One foundations Johnny Osbourne came up at Studio One, and early recordings like “See and Blind” showcase a young vocalist steeped in soul, restraint, and melodic control. Studio One was a label but also a fertile training ground, a boot camp for many young artists over the years, and Osbourne took it all in. By the mid–1970s, Osbourne moved beyond Studio One and began shaping a more personal sound - his tone grew stronger and more street-aware. Tracks like “Truths and Rights” and “Ready or Not” feel like a bridge, still rooted in roots reggae, but miles away from his first Studio One Recordings. When dancehall took over in the early 1980s, many roots singers faded into obscurity. Osbourne didn’t. Instead of fighting the shift, he leaned into it — applying a roots-trained voice to harder, faster riddims. Songs like “Buddy Bye,” “Folly Ranking,” and “No Ice Cream Sound” became sound system staples, built for crowd reaction and rewind culture. It’s been 6 decades since the 77-year-old released his first music, and he is still recording to this day. That is a remarkable career and legacy.

We’re going back to a moment in time during the 90s when you had breakout stars from Jamaica - Shabba Ranks and iNi Kamoze hitting the mainstream charts and rotation on MTV and other music video stations. You also had the mixing of dancehall with hip-hop - Vicious with Doug E Fresh, Supercat, and others. This mix moves between street anthems, radio hits, and club staples.

There was a crossroads in the UK during the ’70s, as dub and reggae sound systems were spreading and building a wider audience. By mid-decade, the rise of punk began - a raw, gritty DIY ethos that opened the door for thousands of youth who wanted to play music. Anyone was welcome. Don Letts is well known for helping introduce the sounds of dub and reggae to the punk scene at The Roxy, as both shared a like-minded attitude toward inclusion and anti-establishment values. It was only a matter of time before both styles began to appear in the same songs. This mix pulls together late-’70s and ’80s tracks where punk and reggae came together.
