HOTTT New Reggae ►►► King Ali Baba – Herbalist!

Greetings! 

Music is an interesting journey in the sense that what is old to you, is new to me and what is old to me is new to you.  King Ali Baba is neither old nor new, neither is his new song “Herbalist.”  This is a chune that is and always will be.  Let me explain! 

Herbs, date back to the beginning of time.  We don’t say herbs are old, and we don’t say they’re new; they just are.  Just the same, King Ali Baba gives us timeless lyrics when he DJ’s:  “I ah herbalist / Babylon surround mih ganja field wid all biologist / dem carry it in ah dem lab and ah call it cannabis / but King Selassie I say dem caan touch one ah dis / but answer dis yes / Rasta man / till the soil / while Babylon ah waste things / dem fly gone ah moon / and talk bout say dem ah trace things / leave it alone that’s the way Mother nature make things / dung ah Africa mih neva used to face things ….”  KA-BOOM! 

Produced by Mek Money Records (and distributed digitally via Hapilos 21^st), this chune is one that will spread like wildfire across the nations.  The command of the drums at the beginning of the chune wake you to attention, and the bass line takes up residence in your heart reminding you that the words you hear are the truth.  As for the skank … Mercy!

HOTTT New Dancehall ►►► Romain Virgo – Jah Jah Over Everything!

Greetings!

With the backative of a double timed drum line and a swift synthesized riff, Romain Virgo wastes no time getting to the message every youth must know:  the system is not designed to make you succeed, but so long as you have Jah, you’ll be fine. 

In today’s Dancehall arena, artists and fans keep dwelling on the ‘badmind’ element and the ‘fake friends’ element, but who’s reminding the people about the traps and barriers designed to not allow us to succeed?  Romain Virgo is!  Listen to the artist:  “some deh near / some come from far / waan tek we life / want fih give we scar / waan see we head roll out pon tar / dem nuh want the youths tun superstar / but ah Jah Jah over all tings / all tings / dih enemy will never prevail….”  KA-BOOM … and you need to hear the rest of the lyrics!

Without apology, Romain Virgo gives it to us straight; they don’t want us to turn Superstar.  If an award could be given for powerful lyrics in a chune, this would be the leading candidate.  For those of you who don’t play Dancehall, this chune is your exception to that rule!  I can’t say it enough … don’t sleep, pause or blink on this chune and please don’t say I didn’t tell you!

HOTTT New Island Pop Soul ►►► Tarrus Riley – To the Limit!

Greetings!

 

Tarrus Riley takes Island Pop Soul to new limits with his brand new chune “To the Limit” and he’s taking fans along with him for the ride!

Working with producers Juke Boxx Productions and Jam House Records, Tarrus performs on a riddim that is not quite Reggae, and is not quite Dancehall, but can only be called Island Pop Soul.  The artist tells us about a lady who is waiting with one command:  “listen woman I don’t drive too fast / buckle up girl / and now just relax / yes you know I know this road / take you on a journey with eyes closed / and she said / hurry up / push it too the limit….”  Ka-Boom!

 

Now hear where the juice gets sweet!  When you the 808 and the bass line drops, combined with synthesizer and a hint of an organ and we have musical murdah.  Don’t let the piano in the first 8 bars fool you!  This is a hit chune especially to be heard in a mix.  Imagine this song mixed with chunes with a disco-ish kind of vibe?!  Musical Murdah!

Roots Reggae Focus ►►► Kush I Krown – No Wata!

When it comes to Roots Reggae, women hold a special place on the mantle as they are few, but, the ones who do perform in this genre are power-houses and today’s feature, Kush I Krown is just that … a power-house!  “No Wata” is her debut single to the network and is a chune designed to ‘bun down’ those and that which need to experience the fire. 

Produced by Sly & Robbie for Thriller Music, Kush steps up to the microphone stand, boldly and confidently as she sing-jays “I don’t want be part of the system / where Babylon they kidnapping and raping the children / and they don’t care about the fools that go in their system / or lie about Santa Clause and Christmas gift to give them ….”  Mercy! 

What makes Kush so powerful is her warrior spirit and her tenacity when delivering her lyrics.  You want to hear the chant she puts down at the beginning of the chune … Ka-Boom!

HOTTT New Dancehall ►►► Tracey Night – Talk The Tings Dem!

Greetings!

One of the HOTTEST Dancehall artists you’ll meet is the sexy siren Tracey Night!  This Dancehall Diva is confident and sure, especially when she’s in the recording booth. 

 

Her hit chune “Talk The Tings Dem” is just one example of Tracey’s peppery writing style, and is also an extension of her production talent as she co-produced this chune with Vexxxx Bad Records.  Performed to a well crafted hardcore riddim, Tracey DJ’s:  dem ah talk bout dem pum pum tun up and it tun dung / bout yuh man dung ah yard it ah shell dung / nuh call nuh name / mih neva say ah Winsome / true me call now ah which gyal ah run come / dem ah gwaan like dem hot ah Instagram / and need fih guh find ah plate ah food fih nyam….”  Like I said … Peppa!

 

Now before lyrics are taken out of context, the line where Tracey talks about such and such tun up and it’s tun down; that lyric is NOT taking aim at Miss O a.k.a. Cham’s other half.  Instead, Tracy is taking aim at certain females who lay claim to O’s famous lyrics but are not ‘turned up!’

HOTTT New Reggae ►►► Buggy Nhakente – Rasta Love {Red Boyz Production}!

There is no other love like the love one experiences from the heart of a Rasta.  I’m not talking about a Rasta imposter, I’m talking about a true genuine Rasta such as Buggy Nhakente (pronounced Na-Ken-Tay). 

Buggy’s chune “Rasta Love” on the Harp riddim produced by Red Boyz Productions is about a man who is encouraged by the love he receives from his girl and in turn she’s encouraged by the love he gives her.  In the chune Buggy sings “don’t hold your tears / let them out girl you’re gonna feel better / and face your fears / I’ll be there when you need me / these days will turn into years / and jah love is gonna feed we / baby everything’s fine / our love stood the test of time / and nuttin else don’t matta ….” 

Musically, Red Boyz Productions use of the Harp is symbolic as in the days of old, the Harp was seen as an instrument of Love, and love is what you will have for this chune!
