An exclusive interview with the man bridging reggae legends and modern audiences When we first met Ralph Sall during The Reggae Hour interview, one question kept echoing in my mind: What defines a “super-producer” in reggae today? As the conversation unfolded, it became clear — Sall has quietly navigated through film, pop, rock, and reggae to craft a legacy that transcends genre. From Hollywood to Roots Reggae Ralph Sall isn’t new to high-profile work. He’s worked as a music supervisor, record producer, composer, and songwriter. Some of his notable credits include the “Speed” soundtrack, where he oversaw and produced the main title song for the film. He’s produced soundtrack albums for films like Mean Girls, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Hamlet 2, Scooby-Doo, Nancy Drew, and The In-Laws.  In reggae circles, his projects like The Mighty Rootsman and The Kingston Lions aim to bring unity, legacy, and fresh talent together.

  When reggae collides with hip-hop, sparks fly. That’s exactly what happened when Venice Beach Dub Club (VBDC) teamed up with legendary Def Squad rapper Keith Murray on the brand-new Jah Rx (Redeye Remix). The track is a genre-bending anthem that fuses roots reggae grooves with gritty, old-school rap lyricism — and it’s already making waves. 🔥 A Song With History  Jah Rx isn’t just another single. It was first released back in 2018 as VBDC’s breakout track, quickly becoming a fan favorite. Fast forward to 2025, and the band has reignited its fire with a remix that brings in one of hip-hop’s most respected voices. Keith Murray didn’t just drop a verse. He also added call-and-response ad-libs throughout the entire track, giving it that raw live-session feel. As he put it: > “I loved the beat since the first time I heard it and the song is a statement. I enjoyed making it and I know people are gonna get down with it.” This is more than collaboration — it’s a cultural handsha...
