Big Red Essentials

Big Red Essentials

France's Stéphane Joaquim—better known as Big Red—has been artfully blurring the lines between hip-hop and reggae since the '90s. Taking the deep, dense rhythms and basslines of reggae, dancehall and ragga, and combining it with the flow, speed and smoothness of contemporary hip-hop, this mix gathers tracks from across his career and captures a dynamic, distinctive cross-section of music. While it also features some of Big Red's most famed and revered collaborations, it's his own singular vision and sound that drives this genre-eschewing, speaker-thumping collection.
