Product Description
Vijan, originally released in 2003 by I Grade Records, is a seminal release from the "golden era" of St. Croix roots reggae, now available for the first time on 12" vinyl courtesy of Before Zero Records.
Produced by the legendary combination of Vaughn Benjamin and Laurent "Tippy I" Alfred, Vijan balances the raw, spiritual intensity of Vaughn's songwriting with the sophisticated, melodic arrangements that became the hallmark of the I Grade sound.
This album features an incredible lineup of musicians who helped shape the sound of Virgin Islands reggae. The production credits boast the textured guitar layers of Tuff Lion, the deep, driving bass of Kenyatta Itola, and the rhythmic precision of Dion "Bosie" Hopkins.
Uniquely, this album also showcases Vaughn Benjamin's versatility as a multi-instrumentalist, contributing drums, bass, and keys on standout tracks like "All Ye Naashan" and "Thanks for Life".
