Sean Paul Talks About Hypocrite!

Hypocrites are always in our midst.  They are the people who pretend to live a good life, pretend to be moral, have principle, or pretend to wish people well, but behind closed doors, they don’t live a good life, they are immoral with no principal and don’t wish people well.  In fact, hypocrites will tell you one thing, but do something else. 

Dancehall has a new anthem where “Hypocrite” are concerned and it comes courtesy of Sean Paul!  Teaming with Andre Gray and his brother Jason Henriques Misik Muzik / Dutty Rock co-production), Dutty Yeah (aka Sean Paul) wastes no time letting you know the movements of a hypocrite.   


Sampling Dancehall legend Bounty Killer who issues a stern warning that ‘nuff gwaan like dem ah friend yuh see,’ the tump of the beat and drum pattern act like a constant knock to your head saying ‘you can’t trust people.’  By the time we get to the 20 second marker, we accept whatever’s coming as truth. 

At 98 BPM Sean Paul sing-jays:  “dem ah nuh yuh friend / dem ah friend enemy / dem ah pose up / but dem ah wanna-be / dem ah gwaan like / dem would deh deh P / anything ah jump off / dem ah fled yuh see / can see dem when dih trouble it ah knock / but dem surface when dih girls dem ah flock / can see dem when yuh pocket turn flat / but dem waan sekkle when dih bank book shat….”  K-A-B-O-O-M!


What true lovers of Dancehall will appreciate is Sean’s return to authentic Dancehall – not a lot of instrumentation, but a lot of drum and 808 kick!  Check the link and make sure you tell SP what you think >>> @duttypaul

Shaggy, Super Cat & Maxi Priest Make it a Night Flight!

Traveling as much as you do, you know that daytime travel is hectic; families with crying children want to get to their destination faster (and sometimes to the annoyance of fellow travelers), people talking on their phone at volumes that are offensive, and, airport staff are irritable because they have to deal with stressed out passengers which combined makes daytime travel hard, until you take a “Night Flight!”

Evening travel means less traffic, a relaxed experience, and most times going to an exotic destination with your honey according to Shaggy, Maxi Priest and Super Cat!

Super Cat Sing-Jays:  “I say the Dada have to leave her pon a late flight / a late flight / pon a late flight / fih go ram dih Reggae music Dancehall til it ram tight / ram tight / till it ram tight / and mih movin like a jack and mih tell yuh inna dih dark night / dih dark night / inna dih dark night / sippin on some Chardonay ….”

This HOTTT new Lover’s Rock chune is set at 90 BPM and has a groove that you can’t help but sway to as you look your lover in the eye while drinking wine.  Produced by Sting International Productions, and with contributions from Sly & Robbie and Lenky Marsden, this is a definite must add to your playlist, but only if you’re a Lover!

P.S.  This song is track 17 on Shaggy’s album Out of Many One Music XL Edition which has been nominated for the 2015 Grammy for Best Reggae Album.  Make sure you buy the track on iTunes

Sound System Culture Profiled in Documentary - Huddersfield, UK!

Host DJ David Katz is proud to present a special screening of Mandeep Samra’s documentary film ‘Sound System Culture’, celebrating the sound systems of Huddersfield. followed by DJ sets from Al Fingers, the London-based DJ, producer, author and book
publisher, alongside the night’s regular host, David Katz, playing roots reggae and foundation dancehall, original vinyl style. The mass immigration of Jamaicans in the 1950s and 60s brought the culture of the sound system to the UK, where it made a dramatic impact in unexpected places. The film Sound System Culture thus charts the untold history of reggae music and sound systems in the northern town of Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. The town hosted many of the biggest names in reggae music, including singers, bands, and sound systems, throughout the 1970s and ‘80s. Many artists would insist on playing at Huddersfield’s Venn Street when arranging a UK tour, due to the size of the crowd in attendance and the legendary northern hospitality. The documentary revisits an era when Jamaicans played their music at dances in the Venn Street nightclub, which helped put Huddersfield on the British reggae map. 

The film screening will begin at 8pm sharp (running time: 35 minutes), followed by DJ sets until midnight. We expect another packed house for this event so come early to avoid disappointment! http://soundsystemculturehuddersfield.tumblr.com /http://www.alfingers.com/ http://www.facebook.com/dubmealways

Reggae and Rock n Roll in India!

All-girl band The Void is set to take the live music scene in Bengaluru by storm with their Reggae Rock sound 

This article first appeared in The Bangalore Mirror


In a male dominated live music space, four girls have set out to change the way things work, all while trying to play a genre that we have seldom heard of in the indoe music scene in India – Reggae Rock.  Formed in January, The Void comprises of Vinaya (lead guitarist), Anagha (vocalist), Rithika (rhythm guitarist) and Suvarna (drummer).  While three of them are pursuing their BA at Mount Carmel College, Survarna is a final year law student at KLE in Rajajinagar.

It was during a sports session at their college that Rithika suggested that the girls put a band together considering their common love for music.  It took a while to figure out the line-up (their first drummer quit early on) but since Suvarna, their current drummer, joined them, the girls have been on a roll.  “In a largely male-dominated music scenario, the all-girl tag is interesting and often we see ourselves being underestimated.  Plus, the crowd never expects us to play rock covers,” Survana says.  Their set list comprises five originals (“Free,” “Rag Doll,” “Two in the Making” etc) and covers such as “Skyfall,” “Titanium” and “Freedom.”  Their range varies from Rock, Alternative, Slow, Punk and Reggae.

Not wanting to be slotted into any category, Anagha says “Since we are new, we are experimenting with different genres.  We like Reggae as well as Rock and we figured we’d combine the two.  Also, we haven’t come across any other band that plays this sound.”  While this definitely makes theor act unique, it also leaves them vulnerable to closer scrutiny.  Considering the fact that they only found their footing a few months ago (their “first proper show” was in August), The Void has the potential to become an act worthy of headlining a festival.  So far, the band counts their Independence day performance at Koramangala restobar Gilly’s as their best gig.  “It was pretty exciting because we played our first few songs in front of a crowd for half an hour.  We loved every moment on stage,” Rithika says.


Given that the band members are aged between 19 and 21, its no surprise that their biggest challenge has been working around curfews set by their concerned parents.  So far, they have managed to tackle this problem by requesting for earlier slots, but they are still in the process of convincing parents to let them play a little later as well!

Details About the 2015 Grammy Nominees for Reggae Album of the Year!

Reggae and Dancehall are the two most enjoyed genres in the world, and today, the Grammy committee has announced the Nominees for Best Reggae Recording, 2015.

The nominees are:

Ziggy Marley – Fly Rasta

Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry – Back At the Controls

Sean Paul – Full Frequency

Shaggy – Out of Many One Music

Sly & Robbie and Spicy Chocolate – The Reggae Power

SOJA – Amid The Noise and the Haste

Ziggy Marley still uses the standard set by his Father, Bob Marley, when it comes to producing good music, Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry is not afraid to be himself which comes through in the unique music he makes.  Sean Paul understands the power of a single frequency, not to mention what happens to the masses when they get full frequency (he chose the right title for his album).

Shaggy single handedly brought nations of people together, and the true intentions of his heart were revealed when this album was made.  Not only is he the hardest working man in our business, he is one of the hardest working in music and entertainment, and always creates opportunities for others.  Tessanne is just ONE of many.

Sly & Robbie never cease to amaze with their work ethic and work habits.  They operate as if they have nothing and the project they are working on (currently) means everything to them.  In other words, despite the many Grammy’s they’ve won in the past, despite the amount of world tours they’ve been on, they act as if all of it is happening again, but for the first time.  This is so humbling.

SOJA are the newest kids on the Reggae block!  They are well known on the West Coast of the US, but they are from Arlington, VA, just across the Potomac River.   The amount of their fans is equivalent to the amount of grains of sand found on a beach in Montego Bay … they have a lot!

Good luck to all the nominees!

Madonna Does Dancehall with Diplo!

It’s no secret that Madonna has been influenced by all genre’s of music, and, spending time in New York, the melting pot of all cultures (particularly Caribbean), it should come as no surprise that she will be

Gully Bop aka Country Man – Body Specialist!

By now you’ve heard about the success story of Gully Bop aka Country Man.  Thanks to you being on Instagram, Gully’s video went viral with people LOVING his freestyle he performed for the camera.  A few people decided to find the talented artist and put him in the studio!  Kaboom!

Ricardo 'RedBoom' Reid found the right hybrid riddim that compliments’ Country Man’s voice.  His first studio release, “Body Specialist,” is a perfect blend between old school Dancehall (Tiger, Ninjaman, Shabba) and new school production.  In fact, the riddim is so appropriate that Country Man is able to deliver his lyrics with perfect timing and shows the fact that though he may have been homeless, he is in precise physical shape.

The artist sings:  “dem know me as the body specialist / when yuh body bruk down check me wid it / boom / dem know me as a body specialist / when yuh body bruk down check me wid it / pure body sick from 1986 / 2014 you ah check me wid it / all fih yur body want a new gear stick / and if yuh body tired gyal mih give yuh til yuh criss….”  Trouble!

Both Raw and Radio versions available at the links below!

P.S.  Big up Laing and his support of Country Man who will be performing at Sting 2014!

Toronto Artists for Christmas

Around the world, Canada is known as being a peace keeping nation.  We (I am a proud Canadian) have been very active in missions such as the 1956 United Nations Emergency Force to the 2009 African Union Hybrid Operation in Dafur.  Peace is just a Canadian thing.

Today, CVS Records and Fizzle Productions is proud to continue the peace keeping mission of Canada, except they are doing it in a musical way with the release of the song “It’s Christmas” by a collective called Toronto Artists for Christmas.  With contributions by Fyahnese (Fiyah-neze), Devon Irie, Melisa Rose, Norval Edgehill, Eyesus, Kafinal, Faze, Chrisco, G Moralis, Tonya P, Sweetsapp, Keri French, Tristan 5-Star and Simply K, the world experiences a special message from some of Toronto’s elite.

Extending a branch of peace, the artists sing “on the first day of Christmas a June love come to me / she bring me / one dozen rose and / one diamond ring and lots of hugging and kissing / what she bring to me / one dozen rose and / one diamond ring and / lots of hugging and kissing / this year Christmas catch me inna foreign / this ya year me haffi send down a barrel / mama bake bare cake and make sorrel / Christmas time feels sweet inna foreign ….”

Who doesn’t remember having to send down a barrel for Christmas or even New Years?!  What about buying clothes and shoes for the kids and praying everything still fits by the time the barrel reach?!  Oh yes!

For the Christmas season (not just this year but all years to come), this is the chune to play, “It’s Christmas” by Toronto Artists for Christmas.  Make sure you tell CVS Records and Fizzle Productions what you think via Twitter >>> @fazefizzle

D-Major – Real Know Real!

There is a nasty parasite moving through peoples lives, and that nasty parasite is called badmind.  Badmind is the act of committing actions for the express purpose of seeing another person fall.  An example of such an act is:  “Joe knowingly told a lie about Sam to the manager which resulted in Sam being fired from his job.”  That is badmind!

On the other hand, when you are amongst good people, you’re amongst real people, and in comes the musical ting called D-Major “Real Know Real!”

This chune (from the Streets of Gold Riddim produced by Donovan Germaine) is enjoying a second wind and is being added to station playlists as if it were just released today.  Originally released in May, 2013, the chune is favored because of the realness of the lyrics.  D-Major sings:  “Nuh make no mistake know dih real from dih fake / yuh can use Viagra fih cure headache / can preach love if yuh thoughts full ah hate / don’t tek no bend yute / stay pon dih straight / oh inna life when mih stop and go check it / nuff people come in like jewel weh cosmetic / dem nuh real / when me and mih family inspect it / wolf inna sheep clothes ah step it but tell dem dis / real know real bout yah….”  Kaboom!

This chune should be the anthem for every real, clean hearted and genuine person in the world who has no time to allow badmind to take up space in their living and who instead is focused on making good music, or playing good music and seeing the world dance with joy.

If you haven’t already, tell D-Major what you think about the chune via Twitter >>> @dmajormuzic and make sure you catch him tomorrow (December 1st) at RE Unplugged as a part of RJR Music Week alongside Duane Stephenson!


P.S.  Make sure you pree the video on Youtube!

Big Up Notorious B.I.G and Busy Signal - HOTTT New Banger!


When we check the dictionary for the meaning of the word notorious, the definition says ‘publicly or generally known, as for a particular trait.”  An example of the word notorious in a sentence is “Busy Signal is notorious for making music people love.”  With that said…!

Busy Signal
Busy has unleashed another single that combines Hip Hop (a genre he really loves) with Dancehall (a genre that really loves him!) and the result is the HOTTT club banger “Glass Hand!”

Using the infamous riddim “The Notorious B.I.G” as a backdrop, Busy pays homage to legends who paved the way for him and other artists, and at the same time creates a party vibe for everyone (old and young) to celebrate life!  The DJ says:  push up the hand and let me see the glass hand / celebration cause life short and / gyalis inna dih street man nuh Tarzan / mih seh mih get more than the Victoria Secret draws man / hotead / me alone up inna mih class and / hail dih Killer cause dih General cross and …!

When you hear what Busy does to this riddim, you would wish Notorious B.I.G. was alive to collaborate with him.  As a matter of fact, I think Biggie would be a huge fan of Busy, just as Busy is a HUGE fan of Biggie!


If you’re ready to get your party lit, you’re ready for this chune from Busy available at the link below.  Make sure you let Busy know what you think via Twitter >>> @busysignal_turf

Released Today! Cali P - Healing of the Nation EP!

Cali P’s EP, Healing of the Nation has been released today, and is moving fast and hot like Granny’s Ackee and salt fish breakfast with fried dumpling on Sunday morning!

Reggae fans around the world pre-ordered the album on iTunes (using this link http://bit.ly/HealingOfTheNation) and all agree that is one of the best releases for 2014!

Reggae has a brand new release to celebrate, and that new release comes from Cali P!  His new EP, Healing of the Nation is sweeping over the masses like medicine for all illnesses!

Cali’s 9 track disc is simple and follows these principles:  celebrate Mama Africa, the place we all come from, recognize the strength you have in you to withstand any and all obstacles that come your way, and together, we can make a great life.  In a beautiful way, Cali P showcases the principles of Rastafari.  Bringing these principles together is enhanced by Cali’s hand selected producers, which includes Riga from Hemp Higher Productions, Jr Blender, Jugglerz, Seani B (just to name a few), and Cali’s hand selected band who bring the EP to life every time Cali hits the stage to perform live!

The lead single from Healing of the Nation, “Solution” is picking up momentum not only in Jamaica, but around the world.  The message in the music is something everyone can relate to.  The artist sings:  “Hey Mr. Money mih seh I want a solution / right now out there so much problems / unno gwaan like some people nuh important / from unno see poor people unno fight dem / nuff people forget where dem come from / dem forget seh dem never have nothing / look like the money start blind them / so me use dem ears fih remind them….”

What fans will like about this album is it’s authentic Reggae offering!
