The first known song called "Soon Come" was written and produced by Peter Tosh in 1978.

"Soon Come" also refers to an entirely different song by English record producer Shy FX, featuring vocals from English singer Liam Bailey. It was released on 29 July 2013 through his record label Digital Soundboy.[1] It entered the UK Singles Chart at number 55.

"Soon Come" is also the moniker used by a modern dub reggae producer[2] known for heavy utilization of samplers, synthesizers, and his own custom-built spring reverb units. He has collaborated with members of NYC-based band The Slackers[3], Kingston's Equiknoxx collective,[4] Brooklyn's Screechy Dan, Peter Ranks, Willow Wilson, and many more artists spanning roots reggae and dancehall music.[5] He also hosts a digital radio show called "Every Spoil Is A Style" which explores Jamaican music, its influences, and offshoots, and broadcasts live every third Thursday from the Great Circles record store in Philadelphia.[6]
