ROIR presents Digitaldubs first US release, “#1“, which drops a wicked selection featuring singers, deejays, and, of course, killer dubs. The duo enlist such legendary vocalists as Ranking Joe, Earl Sixteen, and Brinsley Forde of Aswad, as well as Brazilian contributers Jeru Banto and Dada Yute to set fire to some crucial riddims.
Digitaldubs #1 will be in all good record stores August 30th
Two years after releasing their critically acclaimed album “Bush Rock” and a year removed from dropping “10 Deadly Shots”, the ‘Plant is back stronger and with their deep in the pocket roots sound in full effect. The ‘Plant were thrilled to collaborate with reggae legends Prince Jazzbo & Sylford Walker, each dropping two vocal gems, while Meditations great Winston Watson kindly provided additional harmonies throughout. The sound is 70′s exquisite.
Last week, 10 Ft. Ganja Plant gave away the track “My Roots” featuring reggae legend Sylford Walker from their upcoming album “Shake Up The Place”… well, this week’s track features yet another Jamaican reggae great, Prince Jazzbo.
10 Ft. Ganja Plant’s new album 10 Deadly Shots Vol. 1 will be out on CD on July 6 exclusively from the 10 Ft. Ganja Plant website and will be in all good retail stores come August 10.

Its a cold weekend in February and the Cessna’s land. The vibes brew as the room fills, while the bass thumps a beat and the snare drum rings a tune. The chords echo through the room as the smell of analog tape enters the air… A familiar start to a 10 ft Ganja Plant recording session.
Digital album only $6.99 until 4/27/2010 (reg. $8.99)
