Shinehead Toward the end of my high school years, I would listen to WERS 88.9 FM’s nightly reggae show, “Rockers.” I’d also listen to parts of their “urban” format show, “Eighty-Eight Nine at Night,” where the student DJs would play hip-hop, R&B, and house music. Listening to that show was a great opportunity to experience the crossover that was happening between reggae and hip-hop. This episode of Reggae Rhythm Update is the first part in a series of three that will chronicle that crossover sound. You’ll hear the music that influenced me as I was exploring my favorite reggae sounds and artists.
