Monday is here yet again, and so are some fresh new mixes from Italy, Seattle and Jamaica. Pretty roots-centric edition here with an album sneak peek and a stacked CD of ganja anthems in a dubplate fashion. Twist something and press play below.

Sure, hip-hop has The Chronic, “I Got 5 On It,” and Meth and Red’s entire catalog, but when it comes to weed-smoking anthems, reggae is king. With literally tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of reggae weed anthems to choose from, we selected some of our favorites and tapped the artist behind one of ‘em, Carlton “100 Weight of Collie Weed” Livingston, to run down the best of the best. Earlier this week, we rolled out numbers 20-11 in our first video. With 4/20 upon us, here’s the Toppa Top 10.

BIG week here at Mixtape Mondays. From the farm to the streets, we’re keeping it 100 and holding a meds (at the same damn time) while leaving room to reason with one of our favorite new artists and prepare for the wildest street party on Earth. Just another Monday around here…

Whether you’re recovering from Coachella, 4/20 festivities, or just need new ammo to attack this Monday, we got some digital dub, undiluted dancehall and brand new ganja tunes to get your week bubbling right. We also recommend you download The Highest Grade from Snypaa Ent. that went up on Friday, as an added bonus to this weeks post.
Solomonic Sound, Jahson Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Brostep Vampires & Womp Zombies: One of the baddest juggling and dubplate soundsystems in North America, Solomonic are back with another one, with Burlington, VT’s Jahson at the controls. This one is a straight digital dub mix, cleverly playing on the title and theme of Scientist Rids The World of the Evil Curse of The Vampires, easily one of our favorite dub records of all time. Clearly looking for a break from the gritty, wompy, “brostep” that’s dominating the dubstep world, Jahson takes you back to a style and fashion that helped create and influence modern dubstep as we know it. With tracks from Die & Break Feat. MC Fats, Michael Prophet, Joe Ariwa & The Trixsters, Dubkasam, Johnny Osbourne, V.I.V.E.K., No More Babylon Feat. Kenny Knots and more, this mix will quickly have you steppin’ in your slippers. Salute to Jahson for this one, maybe we can convince him to make a download available? Plus the cover is too ill, had to post a large version so you can play “name the dubstep DJ.” Full stream below, more info here.

On this very day one year ago, we brought you our Toppa Top 10 weed tunes for 4/20. We missed some sure, but this was our countdown of the classics, those indisputable smokers anthems every reggae fan knows. In an effort to one-up our own selves, this year we thought we’d go a little deeper into the stacks and bring your attention to some hi-powered ganja anthems you might not remember, and not just because you forgot where you put them in your record crate. Some are more obscure than others, but they’re all deserving of rediscovery. Enjoy.
