Rodigan dives into reggae roots on BBC 1Xtra with new music, a tribute to Barry G, and an in-depth chat with Chronixx breaking down tracks from his new album Exile.

Join David Rodigan for another essential journey through reggae, roots and culture on BBC Radio 1Xtra. This week’s show is packed with fresh new music, classic cuts and a heartfelt tribute to one of Jamaica’s most iconic radio voices, Barry G the Boogie Man.

In the second hour, Rodigan sits down in conversation with Chronixx, diving deep into his long-awaited brand new album Exile. Chronixx opens up about the inspiration, sound and message behind the project as he and Rodigan break down seven standout tracks from the album.

Alongside the interview, Rodigan brings you new music from Protoje, Runkus, Mortimer, The Wise Bloods and Royal Sounds, plus timeless classics from Desmond Dekker, and Jimmy Cliff.

It’s reggae in full motion - storytelling, sound system energy, and cultural connection all rolled into one.
