Massive B Legacy Volume 1 is the first release in a series of compilations of greatest hits from the legendary Brooklyn sound system and record label.
HOT 97 icon Bobby Konders started the Massive B movement in 1992 and this release marks the beginning of a celebration of Massive B’s rich musical legacy over the last 25+ years.
Volume 1 showcases some past gems from the Massive B treasure chest, including several tracks featured on Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto 4, with an added bonus of the new smash hit from Dancehall ruler Vybz Kartel – “What U Sellin?”
Check out below a dope track by track commentary from Bobby Konders. Feel the love, the passion, the competence, the history, the legacy and support the music, support the project!
•1- Richie Spice – Youths So Cold
The Truth & Rights riddim was made in the Summer of ‘99, which was when I recorded the legendary Johnny Osbourne’s anthemic “Truth & Rights.” I had the riddim in my catalogue and then in 2004 I was inspired to voice other artists on it with Sizzla, Chuck Fender, King Kong, Chezidek and Choppa Chop all blessing it. But it was this track by Richie Spice that became an anthem in the streets and went on to receive major air play on HOT 97 and radios across the US, as well as globally and in the clubs. Its one of my favorite records I’ve produced.

•3- T.O.K. – Gal You A Lead
I dropped the Wanted riddim in 2003, featuring Bounty Killer, Burro Banton, Sizzla , Elephant Man & many more. This song by Dancehall quartet TOK quickly became a national anthem for the ladies, rocking Dancehall, Hip Hop & Latin clubs around the globe. This song also got heavy rotation on Hot97 NYC as well as major radio play across the US.

•4- Burro Banton – Badder Dan Dem
I don’t need to say much about the song because as soon as you hear Burro’s original rock stone voice from Dancehall’s golden era of ’80s you know what’s up! Back then the artists (DJ’s) would actually perform live on sound systems such as Stereo Mars, Kilimanjaro & so many more, perfecting their craft and thrilling crowds. Unfortunately that art has pretty much died out but “Mr Eh Eh Eh” is still badder dan all a dem!
The riddim name is No Borders , feat. Chezidek, Jr Reid , Collie Buddz , Choppa Chop & many more artists !!!

•5- Chezidek – Call Pon Dem
Chezidek, an incredible writer of uplifting, positive messages who hails from Jamaica’s “ Garden Parish” St Ann, calls out the politicians to help the poor and less fortunate, as well as the legalization of the Herb! This song was on the Kingdom riddim that also featured Collie Budd , Choppa Chop & Burro Banton.
