Legendary British roots reggae band Steel Pulse will continue their Reggae Against Racism – World Tour with an extensive run of North American performances throughout October. The tour celebrates more than five decades of music and activism from one of reggae’s most influential bands.

The October schedule begins October 1 at The Catalyst in Santa Cruz, California, followed by stops in Stateline, Avila Beach, Napa and Redway before moving north to Oregon and Idaho. The band will then travel through Montana, Utah and Nevada before returning to California for performances in San Diego, Long Beach and Rocklin.

Steel Pulse will close out the October run with three Hawaii performances: October 23 at the Waikiki Shell in Honolulu, October 24 at the A&B Amphitheatre in Kahului, and October 25 at KB Extreme in Kailua-Kona.

Reggae veteran Anthony B has released the official music video for “Oh Jah,” the closing track from his latest album, World of Love. The video was uploaded to Anthony B’s official YouTube channel on September 11.

Produced visually by Barkley Films, the clean video features Anthony B performing “Oh Jah” in a variety of outdoor locations, including scenes framed by Rastafari-inspired backdrops. One particularly striking sequence finds the artist performing in what appears to be an open field, while another places him in front of what appears to be a food truck.

In the food-truck scene, Anthony B is joined by two other Rastafari men, while the seller inside also joins in, dancing and vibing to the music as Anthony B delivers the song. The natural interaction adds warmth and energy to the presentation.

The video complements the message of “Oh Jah” well, bringing the song’s powerful lyrics of faith, strength and spiritual guidance to life through simple but effective imagery. It is a visually pleasing production that allows the music and its message to remain at the center.

Fans can watch the official “Oh Jah” video on Anthony B’s YouTube channel.

The live reggae music series, dubbed “APEX Live,” is scheduled for Sunday, September 27th, with showtime set for 8 PM sharp, at Tivoli Gardens, Top 10. The organizers have confirmed that there is no entrance fee for attendees despite the lineup of international reggae acts.

Confirmed are Lutan Fyah, Turbulence, Bugle, I-Wayne, and Pressure Busspipe—a strong showing of respected conscious reggae and dancehall artists. All artists will be backed by the equally celebrated Ruff Kutt Band.

The Meditations will bring their 2026 Summer Tour to Austin, Texas, with a special performance at Flamingo Cantina on Friday, September 25. The legendary reggae group is scheduled to perform from 9 PM to 2 AM at the popular venue.

Opening the show will be local reggae and dub outfit Dub Gideon, while Winston’s Kitchen will be on hand serving Caribbean cuisine. The event is open to guests ages 21 and over, with tickets starting at $23.18 and available through Eventbrite.

Flamingo Cantina is located at 515 East 6th Street, Austin, Texas.

The “137 Street Riddim” medley music video was uploaded to Richie Spice’s official YouTube channel on September 4, 2026.

Directed by Shervel Thesheep, the video features Richie Spice, Turbulence, Lolaa Smiles, Jah Melody, and Chezidek, with each artist performing his or her respective song in a different location. The production uses seamless transitions, mixing each clip into the next in a style reminiscent of a selector blending records during a reggae session.

The medley features Richie Spice’s “Lately,” Turbulence’s “Wilderness,” Lolaa Smiles’ “Real Love,” Jah Melody’s “Need You To Know,” and Chezidek’s “Dem Can’t Stop It.” Lutan Fyah’s “She Don’t Want To Leave” is also part of the 137 Street Riddim lineup, although he does not appear in the video. The riddim is a Brownz Records production, with individual songs released separately rather than as a single compilation project.

The new medley video gives the individual productions a collective visual identity while highlighting the versatility of the artists featured on the 137 Street Riddim.
