Episode 136: Half Pint - “One in a Million”

For the last episode of the year, we listen to the scorcher “One in a Million” by Half Pint. We talk about the track’s simplicity despite being a catchy hit in early Jamaican dancehall. We encourage you to dig into the Half Pint catalog and learn about where and how this style originated as it continues to inspire so many.

In the latter portion of this episode, we pay tribute to those reggae legends that we lost throughout 2024. These singers and players have left a legacy for us that will live on forever, and we encourage you all to do some digging of those names you are not familiar with. Here is a comprehensive list of those we talk about in the episode:

• Aston “Familyman” Barrett - The Wailers / The Upsetters
• Don Kinsey - Word Sound and Power / The Wailers
• Peter “Peetah” Morgan - Morgan Heritage
• BB Seaton - The Gaylads
• Gregory Lee - Hepcat
• Tony Tuff
• Desi Jones - Chalice
• Delroy Williams - The Mad Labs
• Errol “Don” Mais Producer of many
• Cornel Marshall - Third World

We wish everyone an amazing Holiday season and a happy New Year, and we will continue to bring you more dub in 2025!
