Busy Signal Says Chick I “Got To Tell You!”

Greetings!

There are some things that will never change in life, and one of them is the reaction of a man when he sees that ideal woman who is too hot to resist.  As Busy Signal says in his newest single “Got To Tell You,” and chick is going to make time to listen!

This easy groove single features Busy’s trademarked lyrical flow, and a few musical references that will bring a smile to your face.  Remember “Limb by Limb” by Cutty Ranks?  Busy masterfully weaves the memorable song as he sing-jays “wave them off / gyal shake up yuh body / love how yuh wine cause yuh full of the energy ….”

Produced by Busy Signal for Turf Music Entertainment, you can be sure that the ladies will be moving when you select this chune … Busy has a track record of doing this!  Consider this to be the ‘warm-up’ to Busy’s ‘Ladies Season!’

Beckford Music Group Presents: Nemo Dilinga x F.A.M – Wine Pon Mi!

Brooklyn, NY is the kind of borough where you have to sound really good for people to give you a minute of their time, much less a slot on their playlist.  Collaborations are a dime a dozen, but the right collab will make the right people nod their heads and recommend you to others.  This is the case with Nemo Dilinga and F.A.M (Forever After Money) who have merged Dancehall and Trap on their single “Wine Pon Mi.”

Both F.A.M and Nemo Dilinga happened to be in the studio in Brooklyn and got to talking, which led to story telling in which F.A.M shared a scenario that happened to him.  Nemo and the engineer said “that sounds like a song,” so F.A.M went into the booth and told the story.  Nemo added authentic Jamaican vibes which explains why ladies have a weakness for Caribbean men, and voila, in comes the musical ting called “Wine Pon Mi.”

Seducing chick lyrically, F.A.M says: “girl I love the way you wine pon me / I see you got your eyes on me / I know you wanna ride with me / bun a spliff and get high with me / you can touch the sky with me / you can live and die with me ….”  With the tempo switch up, Nemo Dilinga says: “you know me / prefer the BD / no matta / still have she sweating heavy / she never ready fih style weh me unleash / under lock and key like Jet Li ….”

Musically, the track is Trap / R&B and can easily be played between sets and is perfect for mixtapes.  Both artists appear courtesy of newly formed Beckford Music Group who is based in Brooklyn.  Connect with the artists on the Gram:  @x__fam__x | @nemo_dilinga

The Naomi Cowan Mixtape: Paradise Plum!

Selector Fiyah Yout and DJ Alpha Lion from Wrd Sound Pwr officially release Naomi Cowan’s Paradise Plum mixtape to rave reviews!  

Making its debut on the Reggaeville.com website, the 9 track mix features the beauty and authenticity of Naomi’s voice.  Tracks selected for the project were done on purpose and with the intent of fans hearing the emerging vocalists talent.  Naomi covers classic songs and welcomes guests Romain Virgo (“Love of a Lifetime,” “Everything I Own”), Daviannah (“Jah Jah Children”) and Shanique Marie (“Far East Love”).

Fans are treated to a preview of upcoming singles “So Right” and “Manuscript Song” which were placed on classic Studio One riddims ‘Real Rock.’  The starlet will perform at Reggae Sumfest, 2018.

Sizzla Kalonji Chooses Born Afrikan for "Partners In Crime!"

It is no secret that Sizzla Kalonji has a deep affection for Africa. If you listen to some of his interviews, you’ll hear the artist talk about his respect for the land, for the people, for Africa’s wealth.  It should come as no surprise that Sizzla chose to work with performing artist Born Afrikan on a new track entitled “Partners in Crime.”

Born Afrikan was born in Malawi but made South Africa his home.  He began singing as a toddler in church, and his talent nurtured by his family. Fast forward to today, and we have the true Roots single with Sizzla.

Alongside a wicked bass line that runs the chune, Born Afrikan sings:  “they came to say they will help us / all they do is abuse us / they buy expensive cars / spend our money and build big mansions / for sure the time is coming / when my Father will judge everyone / when their train is going to clash / and all the wicked / dem ago perish / cause them ah partners in crime….”

For those of you who like roots music, this chune is for you … and for those who want to hear the classic Sizzla voice, this chune is definitely for you!

Make sure you connect with Born Afrikan with your feedback on Twitter @BornAfrikan | Instagram @bornafrikanofficial | https://www.facebook.com/people/Born-Afrikan/100010479557047
