If Bob is the King of Reggae, Dennis Brown the Crown Prince and Gregory Isaacs the Cool Ruler, then Beres Hammond is the Emperor? Well, definitely the Emperor of lover’s rock. No debating that. And more than that, he’s a living legend, a breathing relic who is to reggae what Otis Redding, Marvin, Curtis, David Ruffin or Jerry Butler are to R&B / Soul music. I’d put money on it that many babies were made to this brother’s music. And because, well, I felt like it, hit the jump for Beres’ video to Rockaway which brings back fond memories of living in VA and making the 8 hour drive from from VA Beach to NYC damn near every weekend. A nostalgic tune which will be forever rooted in my brain.

Love Berres Hammond, ‘Step Aside’ is a sick track
