Ras McBean – It No Easy // Dub

Description

Ras McBean – It No Easy (Meditative Sounds 7″)

Fresh roots pressure from Sweden’s premier label Meditative Sounds, this time linking up with the always-reliable Ras McBean. “It No Easy” carries that modern roots feeling the Swedish imprint does so well: warm basslines, steady drums, and a groove tailor-made for high-vibration roots sessions.

Originally a long-time staple in the Meditative Sounds archives, this track ran as a exclusive dubplate for many years before finally being released in 2025. Ras McBean delivers a powerful vocal performance, full of soul and determination, touching on the resilience needed to push through daily struggles.

No Easy Dub: Dougie Wardrop at the Controls

The B-side features “No Easy Dub,” a deep and spacious version stripped back to showcase the trademark Meditative production. Mixed by the UK dub master Dougie Wardrop at Conscious Sounds, the sonic quality is heavy and authentic. Produced by Johan Liljestrand, this 7″ is limited to a strict run of 350 copies, making it an essential pick for selectors who value uplifting roots with a historical dubplate pedigree.
