Sixteen months after it debuted in the tri-state area, The Roadblock Radio Island Mix, a weekly show highlighting Caribbean music, has made its mark.

The show first aired on WXKB THE Block 94.7 FM in New York City in June 2025. It debuted last June on WPOW Power 96.5 in Miami/South Florida.

Those are the largest markets for dancehall-reggae and soca in the United States.
