Roots of Creation x Eric Swanson x SOJA x Jacob Hemphill - Oblivious (Please Don't Go) [Music Review]

March 22, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Reggae
“Before I chime in, a word from the creators of this track .... We’re so excited to share this new song with the world. The writing process with Jacob Hemphill (SOJA) and Brett Wilson (Roots Of Creation) has been a lot of fun. So many great artists came together in spirit to work on this track. Bits of this song were recorded across the globe, and that’s expressed beautifully by Hellman Escorcia’s horn arrangement throughout the song. Love and loss affect us all, and this song is a testament to the power of that notion. The “Oblivious” concept was inspired by the saying “until you learn to say no, yes means nothing”. We hope you find your voice and your power! ~ Eric Swanson

’Oblivious’ is a straight out vibe! The Reggae groove and emotive vocals lodge in your soul.”

    Roots of Creation x Edo. G x Afroman - Ride or Die Chick - remix [Music Review]

    June 26, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Contemporary R&B, Dance, Pop, Rap
    “What’s not to love about a groove-filled jam from Roots of Creation, Afroman, and Edo.G? I mean come one you can feel this one right from the start. ‘Ride Or Die Chick’ is a mantra tof stubborn love and dedication. An ode to loyalty perhaps even when it isn’t deserved.

    And the easter eggs of hits gone by is a nice addition. This is talented artists having a good time and it shows.”

      Roots of Creation - Move Along [Music Review]

      May 10, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Reggae, Ska, Dance
      “Roots of Creation creates a feel good vibe with ‘Move Along.’ At least musically. Lyrically the track is more about dismissing the haters, the dead weight, the roadblocks in your way. There is certainly a freedom in that and the groove here has an uplifting vibe that makes it easy to believe you can simply shrug away all the negative people. Maybe we can. Let’s give it all a shot and simply let the good times roll over us. ”

        Roots of Creation with Matisyahu - Ocean Moon (Live at Sugarshack Sessions - Reggae Rise Up FL) [Music Review]

        June 21, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Live Performance, Music, Reggae, Singer/Songwriter

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “Recorded live at a Florida Reggae festival this track simply feels alive. Riding a Reggae rock kind of vibe the collaborative effort is born of friendship and respect and decades of honing the craft. A true groove piece that captures the sense of Reggae in a lively and passionate way. The live crowd adds to the atmosphere of the track. ”

          Roots of Creation - Oh Lord [Music Review]

          April 24, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music, Ska, Reggae

          Rating: 4.5 out of 5

          “Cali Reggae at its best!

          Roots of Creation are a vibe, and their latest single, ‘Oh Lord’ will take you straight to church. No, not that kind of church. I am talking about the kind of spiritual engagement that goes beyond the walls of any institution and delves into the groove and rhythm of life.

          This is the kind of track you jam riding solo, or while stoking an ember on your way to enlightenment. Or you can blast it with friends and all sing along. Either way you will be happy listening. ”
