Christopher Martin's New Single and Video - LIFE

Christopher Martin’s video for “Life” premiered today on Billboard!  The focus single from his
upcoming album Then and Now, out May 3^rd, is an up-tempo, feel good song about not taking life for granted. The single was released on Friday, March 15^th and is available on all streaming platforms.

Directed by Dameon Gayle, the video starts with flashbacks to Chris’s childhood and playing soccer, then fast-forwards to now, of him at a pool hall with friends, enjoying and cherishing the moment.  The video also has a cameo appearance of Reggae super star Busy Signal.

Produced by Omar Anthoneil Samuels and Cory William Stoneman, and written by Christopher Martin, Omar Samuels and Cory Stoneham, the song follows other album singles “Bun Fi Bun,” “Can’t Dweet Again” and “Come Back” which has over 1 million views on YouTube.  

“The video has good vibes, it was good to have my brother Busy Signal” said Christopher.  “We just wanted a simple video that captured the message, showing the simplicity of life
and just hanging out.”

And Then is the follow-up to Martin’s debut full length album “Big Deal” which reached top 5 on the Reggae Billboard Charts in 2017.

"ALAI!" EL NUEVO SINGLE DE CHIKI LORA!

Chiki Lora sigue regalándonos singles de su inminente álbum, "Ura", que verá la luz este viernes 22 de marzo publicado por Satélite K. Tras "Caminando", "Consuelo" y "Por hablar" nos llega ahora "Alai", donde se rodea una vez más de exquisitas colaboraciones: Igon Olagüenaga, co-autor del tema, a la trikitixa, Jordi Tugores a la guitarra acústica y su compañero y co-productor de "Ura", Juanito Makandé, al cajón.

Chiki Lora está dispuesto a no darnos respiro con "Ura", su inminente nuevo disco, y del que ya nos ha obsequiado cuatro adelantos: "Caminando", "Consuelo", "Por hablar" y este "Alai" que nos llega ahora en doble vertiente: como video en acústico y como nuevo single disponible en plataformas digitales.

Nacido en Málaga cuando España se calzaba las botas de Naranjito, Chiki Lora maduró en Madrid y ha acabado con sus huesos –y sus canciones- en el País Vasco. Trotamúsico por naturaleza, como atestiguan tantos kilómetros recorridos en compañía de los demás miembros de Canteca de Macaodurante tantos y tantos años -formación en la que era compositor, cantante y guitarrista- Chiki Lora ha encontrado en su aun breve carrera en solitario el remanso de paz que ansiaba.

Rapper Rooftop Rep from New York whose catalog of music includes a collaboration with Lil Pump and Kanye West will be on hand to perform as well.  When speaking to media about making this union happen, Niyah said “I am excited for this partnership.

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
