Fresh from the Lab ►►► Sly & Robbie ft. Stingwray – Moringa Seed!

Greetings!

To some, Sly & Robbie (Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare) has done just about everything there is to do in music.  They’ve created timeless classics, launched the careers of many artists, and have won multiple awards; they’ve even earned Hero status in Jamaica.  Though everything mentioned is true, Sly & Robbie will not stop making music because it is as essential to them as breathing!

The duo’s latest release is an instrumental called “Moringa Seed” which features Stingwray.  Moringa, which is the plant / flower, is rich in Protein and Vitamin’s A, B and C, and is also anti-fungal, anti-viral, antiseptic, and antibacterial.   The Moringa seed is healthy, the plant is healthy, and the riddim / instrumental from Sly & Robbie is healthy!

Elements of the riddim will remind you of Beenie Man’s classic chune “Foundation” released on the award winning album Music is Life.  This version is a much slower version and is good for selectors who are moving from Spanish / Latin sounds to Reggae or even Jazz to Reggae and vice versa.

Broadcasting live and direct from Jamaica, and in amplified sound, catch Sly and Robbie and Stingwray with their newest release “Moringa Seed” at the links below!

HOTTT New Music Video Release ►►► Rickey Teetz – Poverty Life / Working!

Movies almost always have a common theme.  The subject (main character) comes from a particular background, has to overcome obstacle(s) to achieve a certain goal; just when they think all obstacles are removed, one more item pops up which is the biggest one, they overcome, and claim victory.  In between all of that, we also might have a love story. 

Rickey Teetz walks us on that journey, but instead of telling the story in 2 hours, he tells it in 3 minutes via his HOTTT new music video, “Poverty Life / Working” which has just been released.

Shot live on location in Jamaica, Rickey walks us through the life of a youth / family who are having a hard time making ends meet.  One of the iconic shots in the video is the close up of one slice of bread which is intended to be dinner.  To showcase how close the story line is to Rickey, he is featured in the video, not as a character, but as the narrator who is telling the story, and watching the story unfold at the same time.  We LOVE this! 

So how does this story end?!  Well I can’t say there’s an end because Rickey is with us (whom the video is based on) and will be with us for another hundred years, but, the video goes on to tell us what happens after a few years of hard work.  It’s not a Hollywood ending but it is a Jamaica ending!

What’s Up With @busysignal_turf and his Blurred Lines???

Greetings! 

Busy Signal is dealing with a serious case of “Blurred Lines” and I think this case has come due to overwhelming demand from Mixed format DJ’s on Radio and who produce Mixed Tapes.  The HOTTT-ED one has remixed his HOTTT singles “Bedroom Bully” and “Same Way” to the hit “Blurred Lines” riddim. 

Both chunes are hits; the original versions can easily take you from Throwback Dancehall to Hardcore Dancehall, and now with the remixes, you can move to or from uptempo R&B / Throwback Funk.  I’m looking at my crystal ball, and I think these remixes are a clear sign of some of the projects coming up soon for Busy.  Looking at the chronology, the “All in One” chune implemented Funk and Hip Hop, now the “Blurred Lines” remixes … yup!  My crystal ball doesn’t lie!  No matter what, you can’t contain the versatility, creativity or direction of the HOTTT-ED!

HOTTT New Medley from the HOTTT-ED ►►► Busy Signal – All In One!

Greetings! 

Denzel Washington is one of the best Actors and this is confirmed by his fans, and the academy who have awarded him countless accolades.  Mr. Washington will tell you that even though he’s won awards, he still trains with his acting coach, and he takes nothing for granted.  Busy Signal is the same with his craft.

As much as Busy has hit chune upon hit chune under his belt, he still hustles, practices, rehearses and goes hard as if he has nothing at all.  HOTTT-ED!  Busy’s newest release, called “All in One” is the type of medley / chune that once again, sets him ahead because of its tenacity.  You can hear the ‘growl’ in Busy’s voice which suggests that he is going to take what is his, which is the #1 spot. 

Musically, we go from Mtume’s “Juicy,” to Dr. Dre’s “Still” to “Next Episode” to Mobb Deep’s “Quiet Storm” to Nas’s “Hate Me Now” and there’s more!  In total, the medley runs 5:59 and at no point will your finger be tempted to hit the ‘next’ button!  Kaboom! 

If you’re a lyricist who is hooked on Busy’s prowess, believe me when I tell you, he will not, and he does not disappoint!  References to his hit chune Bumaye as well as artist Rihanna, Bounty Killer and Richie Spice are just too HOTTT, not to mention Turf Music dropping in the DMX “Ruff Riders Anthem” reference and Black Rob’s “Like Whoa!”  Musical Murdah!  Click the links below for the download, and hail the artist on Twitter >>> @busysignal_turf!

The Most Powerful Man on the Radio in New York ►►► DJ Norie!

Greetings! 

There is nothing I like to talk about more, and promote more than people who play or perform music.  I am so driven to promote our industries players of instruments that I created L3 Magazine.  I’ll never forget my first front cover which featured Richie Feelings and Panther from Black Kat Sound; what a long way I’ve come, and now I’m returning to my roots! 

DJ Norie is one of the most humble people you will ever meet.  He’s also very laid back, and chill, except when it comes to his relationship with music.  When we step in to that arena, Norie’s persona amplifies and he does what he does best which results in many happy people singing and dancing when he plays.  Everybody moves when he touches the wheels of steel! 

A lot of people (outside of New York), don’t know that Norie began with Afrique Sound.  Those beginnings built him to the point that he knows music inside out, and he knows the fans inside out.  When you combine those two (music and fans), you end up with the #1 Radio show on the #1 Radio station, Power 105.1 FM and sold out events no matter where he goes.  His story will impress you, and it’s here for you to read in the November issue of L3 Magazine.  Click on the cover to read >>> http://bit.ly/1hzXXeN 

P.S.  You can also read about Bramma, Christopher Ellis, Reigndrop Lopes (sister of Lisa ‘Lefteye’ Lopes) and more!
