The Streetz Productions and Journey Music Presents: Patexx – You Can Make It!

Ah bwoy!  This thing called ‘Life’ can be a tricky thing.  At some points you are doing so well, and then in the blink of an eye you lose what you’ve gained.  The actions of another person causes you great loss and you have to rebuild, and it’s the rebuilding that’s the hardest part.

Patexx

Patexx understands the struggle of having to overcome.  His personal journey is one to be proud of.  He’s overcome obstacles to the point that he can sing about it and inspire others.  In comes the musical ting called “You Can Make It!”

Produced by The Streetz Productions and Patexx’s own label Journey Music, the song speaks to the person or people who are in the struggle.  The artist sings:  mih seh the journey of life it nuh easy / whole heap ah struggles believe me / sing dah song yah for the poor and needy / ah dih most High alone can free we / you can make it if yuh try / lift your head up high / yuh haffi have a purpose inna life / yes I know you can make it if you try…”

To accompany the song, Patexx shot a music video live on location in New York.  No green screen business – straight reality on the streets!

The next time you tune in to your favorite jock on the radio, ask him to select this chune for all people going through their struggle.  To support the artist, buy the chune on iTunes - it's available worldwide thanks to Zojak.  

L3 Magazine Features UK Singing Sensation Randy Valentine on the May Front Cover!

The May, 2016 issue of L3 Magazine has been released and features UK Singing sensation Randy Valentine on the front cover and interviews with Phoenix Afrobeat Orchestra and Cocoa Tea!

Randy Valentine

Randy Valentine arose to international attention with the release of his Mixtape Bring Back the Love, and has held the worlds’ attention through subsequent releases “Wake the Town” and “Carry On.”  He’s one of the most traveled performing artists from the UK, and has an interesting take on why his new voice is so well balanced with ‘old’ music.  When asked about the Rasta faith, Randy gives an interesting answer as to why that is none of his business except his own.

The Phoenix Afrobeat Orchestra(PAO)  is an incredible union of musicians and lovers of Afrobeat.  Their ability to transcend barriers and unite people through music is something everyone has to experience.  Senior Writer Song River takes us in to the PAO world, and boy to we love what we see and hear.  After reading this interview, you will want to travel to Phoenix just to hear this orchestra!

Joah Baston got a hold of Cocoa Tea after an electrifying performance in Montreal, and got first hand proof that this Lion still roars!  Cocoa Tea’s energy is that of a younger person which is why he is one of the most appreciated elders in Reggae.

Bridal season is upon us so Fashion and Beauty Editor Kay Cunningham offers Bridal Survival Tips, as well, the featured model this month is Super Model Charlii Fletcher.  The woeld is introduced to Canadian Chantuese Sielle and a personal tribute to Prince is given from Canadian Reggae Songstress Ammoye.

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!

iTunes Ready! Exco Levi - Words of the Wise!

Today is officially Exco Levi’s day!  The artist, alongside Penthouse Records and VP Records has released his first EP entitled Words of the Wise!

The disc is a collection of previously released songs, BUT, one new chune not known to the masses is included called “Under My Sheets!”  How could Exco sing all these conscious songs, then sing “Under My Sheets?!”  You have to hear the song to understand, but I will say, for those of you attracted to music, as in instrumentation, you will LOVE what Dean Fraser does with the chune!

Exco is currently on tour with Silly Walks Discotheque in Europe, and will be doing radio interviews when he returns May 12^th, 2014 to promote his album and interact with his fans! 

In the meantime, here are the links for “Cali Farmer” and “Wadada” which are not on the EP, but mashing up the world with positive vibrations!

P.S.  Tweet the artist your thoughts on his music, and congratulate him on his album release >>> @Excolevi

The Letter Riddim ft. Cali P + Nickeisha Barnes + Cen’C Love + Progress + More!

Reggae music has just experienced another amazing release, and this time it comes from Saunjay ‘Triple Ace’ Kerr also known as J’Island Records.  The name of the riddim is The Letter Riddim and I know it’s one you are going to LOVE! 

Beginning with the riddim, it’s mellow, easy groove; sweet.  Saunjay uses the bass line as a bed, and tops the bed with harps and synthesizers.  For accents, he uses drums which compliment the overall production. 

Vocally, Cali P tells us why we love “Reggae Music” so much by singing:  “Ease off the pressure mek we feel likkle betta / Reggae music have the vibes / ease off the pressure mek we feel likkle betta / spread the joy and hold a vibes / Reggae music / is playing / what a wonderful feeling ….”

Combine the riddim and Cali P’s lyrics and we have a hit riddim for radio, iTunes and mixtapes!  Supporting the lead single from Cali P (from Guadeloupe / Switzerland), is Nikki Burt (from Jamaica), Nickeisha Barnes (from Jamaica), Ultimate Shines (from Jamaica), Cen’C Love (from Jamaica), Geoffrey Star (from Jamaica), I-Razor (from Austria), Miriam Simone (from Suriname / Holland), Cateyes (from the US), Progress (from the US), Phenomden (from Switzerland), Collis Duranty (from Trinidad & Tobago), Chai (from Jamaica), Cescojam (from Italy). 

This is truly an international collaboration in the name of Reggae Music!
