Just as the headline says, Exco Levi is the winner of the 2013 Juno for Best Reggae Recording!His song “Storms
of Life” earned him the votes, and is one of the most uplifting songs
encouraging us to not give up though sometimes the storms of life blow.His lyrics, “Jah is my shield and guide / he’s
always by my side / yea” helped to seal the deal!
Produced by Silly
Walks Discotheque from Germany, who also produced the music video, the
chune is one of the best and caused a radio personality from the United States
to say “Exco is one his way to being the next Sizzla Kolanji.”Ka-Boom!

One of the most prolific artists for our ears to hear over
the past decade is Richie Spice.His signature voice, combined with his
‘na-na-na-na-na-na-na’ and his lyrics make his music some of the most listened
to and requested.
Richie Spice, in the month of May, is officially on tour in the United
States!
I have exclusively learned that the artist is giving fans a
one hour performance which includes hits from his lengthy catalog as well as
songs from his new album Soothing Sounds:Acoustic!You’ll remember my
review of his album a few months ago, and you’ll remember me calling it a
private performance.Well thanks to this
tour, you can enjoy Mr. Spice up close and personal!
The name Nickeishia
Barnes may sound familiar to you because of her success with Digicel Rising
Stars, and her name may sound familiar because of the fantastic EP she released
in January called ‘Wounded in Love’
on the J’Island Records label.Today, Nickieshia Barnes is going to sound
familiar because of the cover she’s recorded of Tamia’s song “Give Me U.”
Produced by Sheldon
‘Calibud’ Stewart (son of the legend Bobby Digital), the song hears Nickeishia
in a style that is Lover’s Rock and at the same time allows her R&B voice to
shine bright.The part of the song where
she sings “sexy words / don’t mean a lot to me / cause I’ve heard / just about
everything / that a man could ever say / to me to make me stay / before / now I
need more / so don’t bring me roses / bring me the truth...” will impress even
the toughest critics!Ka-Boom!
The preview link is available on SoundCloud.Big up DJ Steve from the Karma Reggae Show for breaking this chune to his
radio audience in the UK!
As it is with the Father, so shall it be with the son.The message began with the artist Chronicle (the Father) and now Chronixx (the son) continues, arming
himself with “Judgment!”
Produced by Liv Up
Records, the Asphalt Riddim
hears Chronixx’s lyrics hit hard as he sings “Papa him ah ball / say no money
inna wallet / Mama she ah ball / say no money print pon her forehead / cousin
him ah cry / say him and poverty ah married / him nah eat nuh food from last
week….”All of this from the voice of a
young man just reaching 20 – odd.
So why the excitement?!Well, when was the last time a young artist took the bulls by the horns
so seriously to sing about the reality of the youth today?
Performing this year at Best of the Best Concert in Miami is Chronixx, backed by the Zinc Fence Band!To understand why so many people are excited
about the artist and his music, and make sure you reach from early.Check the flyers below for details!
Stephen Souza has
a brand new song on the road, and true to Stephen’s style, it’s designed for
the Lover’s!
His new song “Missing
You” is about a man who got into an argument with his miss, she left and
now he’s missing her … bad!Familiar
theme brought to reality thanks to the literal cry in Stephen’s voice when he
sings (not to worry, he and his miss are ‘A’ ok)!
Musically, the song (can’t call this one a chune) is a
synthesizer based melody with a bass line you will respect as it’s familiar,
and allows the artist a good canvass to paint these lyrics:“now yesterday we had a quarrel / I said some
things I shouldn’t have said / now I lay across the bed where we once laid /
now the only thing that greets me / is this cold and empty pillow / and I’m
going girl out of my head ….”Mercy!
Combining elements of R&B and Reggae with a dash of
Lover’s Rock, Stephen Souza had a brand new chune on his hands waiting for you
to hear!

You” at the video link below, and make sure you hail him on Twitter >>>
