UK Singing Sensation Smood Face Takes Center Stage Around the World!


Smood Face
How do you introduce an artist whose voice is so smooth, you slip by just listening to him perform?!  I suppose the best thing for me to do is just jump in and start my ramble by saying friend, allow me to introduce you to UK sensation SmoodFace.

Performing in the genre of Pop Reggae Dancehall, SmoodFace has a silkiness to his voice that has the ladies weak.  His lead single being promoted today is, “That’s What I Like” which is so filled with musical swagger, it will become an anthem.  The artist sings:  “living life in the fast lane / fly first class pop champagne / the whole world screaming my damn name / yeah / that’s what I like / drop the top girl let your hair loose / futuristic car / space cruise / mih bredda just make a mill that’s great news / yeah / that’s what I like….”

Produced by Glendevon Records, the riddim was custom built for SmoodFace which is part acoustic guitar paired with finger pop, synthesizer and a piano’s natural chord progression.  I’m telling you, this is a hit chune, and if you’re not playing it, it could be because you are hearing impaired (I say that with all due respect), or because hit music is not welcomed on your playlist (I say that with all due respect too)!

Ready for your listening ear at the link below is new music from UK singing sensation SmoodFace called “That’s What I Like.”  Big up Froggy MaddSquad from MaddSquad Sound for discovering this great talent!

Europe – UK – Africa – World Wide: Artist Introduction to Humility!

Humility
I know you hear a lot of new music from artists everyday who want you to support them by playing their music via YouTube or your playlist, and really that’s a compliment to you and your taste! 

Performing artist Humility, managed by Marlon of City Rock Entertainment, is an artist I want you to take a look at – a serious look. 

Taking his voice and the art of making good music seriously, Humility purposely makes music that is uplifting; he shares the social issue at hand, and sings about a solution to the issue that we face.  Because of this, fans are growing on the Humility movement, and I want you to grow on this movement too!

As an introduction, Humility and Marlon passed by to deliver their single “Dried Up” which is a song about a man whose love for his woman has dried up.  The artist sings:  “mih think ah likkle / mih drink ah likkle / nah try fix the impossible / and fih ah reason everything happen too / me have dem broken wings yah fih you / cause you’re the fallen angel / yuh nah guh get nuh more water from the same well / I won’t get trapped / by yuh same spell / cause this love is dried up ….”  K-A-B-O-O-M!

There are a growing number of men who have men hurt by women, and Humility is humble enough to share that story in the chune “Dried Up.”

Musically you will appreciate the crossover appeal.  Also, you can deal directly with the artist and management with your feedback via email:  umility@gmail.com | cityrockentertainment@gmail.com.

Busy Signal Shines at 2020 Gala With Star and Community Support!

Multi Genre Superstar Busy Signal was all smiles and shining with the success of the 2020 Gala held at the Grand Bahia Principe in Jamaica!

Busy Signal Addressing Audience at Gala
Raising money for the Busy 2020 Helping Hands Foundation, a foundation dedicated to reaching children and young people to tackle issues such as violence, poverty and lack of health care access, Busy Signal brought together entertainers as well as community stakeholders who collectively agreed that together, they can make a difference.

Performances by Christopher Martin, DMajor, Exco Levi, and Ikaya demonstrated the will of younger generation artists to make a difference in the lives of the youth.  This project will not only benefit people from St. Ann’s Bay, but the entire Parish of St. Ann and neighboring Parishes (Trelawny and St. Mary) as citizens from neighboring Parishes visit the St. Ann’s Hospital as well.

Speaking to media, Busy said “it is important that the youth and the community know and understand that yes we are doing well in our careers, but we haven’t forgotten where we come from, and we are determined to give back to our community … to make it a better place for those coming up after us.”  Echoing Busy’s sentiment is Ikaya who added “some of the kids from this community are going to be doctors in the future.  A small gesture from us today will go a long way tomorrow!”

Launched in April, 2015, the Busy 2020 Helping Hands Foundation has worked with and donated much needed medical equipment to the St. Ann’s Bay Regional Hospital in an effort to make medical access readily available for people in that area of Jamaica.

Donors outside of Jamaica who wish to make a contribution can do so via the website http://www.busy2020helpinghands.com/

Shanty Town Riddim Returns with 2 Heavy Chunes from Suga Roy ft. Busy Signal and Dasia!

If you tune in to Irie FM in Jamaica, you’ve probably heard two new songs added to rotation that fans are skanking and rocking to!  Yes friend, Irie FM is making Jamaica extra Irie playing the chunes “Shanty Town” by Suga Roy and The Fireball Crew featuring Busy Signal, and “Cheating” by Dasia (pronounced Day-See-Yah)! 

Both chunes are on the 2015 version of the Shanty Town riddim produced by Fireball Records, and both would make the original producer of the riddim, Leslie Kong - 1966, and performers on the Riddim, Desmond Dekker and The Aces, very proud.

The mastery you expect from seasoned veteran Suga Roy is there, as well as the slick lyrical flow from Busy.  A voice you may remember is Zareb who makes an appearance as a part of the Fireball Crew (Conrad Crystal is also a member), and Dasia, a new voice to many, is one that will not be forgotten.

Here is a sample of some lyrics from the chune “Cheating” which I know you and your audience will enjoy:  “I never thought I could feel another like this / I know it’s cheating but I like the feeling / emotions running down my spine /  I reminisce / on the days it was just between us…!”  

Now friends, this is music, so until you hear the chune, and catch the drift, don’t judge Dasia, or me promoting this song.  When you hear it, you will smile and say “Natasha was right!”

It’s time to lively up your playlist by adding these two new Shanty Town Riddim additions to your rotation.  Don’t say I didn’t tell you!

P.S.  Connect with Suga Roy and the Fireball Crew via email fireballentertainmentco@yahoo.com or connect with Busy Signal via Twitter >>> @busysignal_turf or Facebook:  www.Facebook.com/OneBusySignal!

Froggy MaddSquad Danced Ah Yard – Time to Dance Abroad … Again!

He started as a selector on the Pieces Sound System from Montego Bay, and eventually branched off to form his own Sound:  MaddSquad.

Froggy has a unique relationship with music that I personally call the triangle.  One part is the artist, the second is the audience and the third is the bridge that connects the two.  One can’t function without the other, and Froggy performs the train dance he goes to.  The results are always the same:  he F@&$* up the dance.   


On his recent UK tour, he gave the people (radio listeners and live audience) a piece of juggling they won’t soon forget.  Speaking to Mix Master J at Mystic Radio and Seani B at BBC 1Xtra, Froggy maintained that he does what he does for the Love of music and seeing people happy.  Amen!

Friday March 18th, 2016 to Sunday April 3rd, 2016 Froggy MaddSquad will be in Europe for a promotional tour.  Key in on the ‘key’ word … promotional!  Yes friends our musical General will be in Europe for 2.5 weeks (home base will be Germany) and would love to come to your venue to play / perform / par!

Connect with him via email maddsquadent@gmail.com if you have an evening / event you’d like him to come to.  You can reach Froggy via Whats App:  407-924-6852.  If by chance you can’t reach him, call 647-677-2507 (not a Whats App number) or hit reply to this email; friends in Europe, will not be disappointed.  Here’s a flashback to yester-year (2012) when Froggy put Montreal in a state of Reggae and Dancehall chaos at the 9th annual Montreal International Reggae Festival!

P.S.  Take in his annual Birthday party coming November 9th, 2015!  Twitter >>> @FROGGYMADDSQUAD

Sound System Special: Beenie Man – Anyway!

And just like that, Beenie Man drops a must have for every Man and Woman who plays on a Sound System … the chune called “Anyways!”

Beenie Man
Produced by the Legend Maurice Johnson aka Black Scorpio who is one of the original Sound Men from 1968, Beenie’s performance is on a remake of the Lazy Body riddim.  This version is loaded with original vibes from yester-year, and Beenie drops some lyrics that, if reconstructed for Sound Clash, Sound Men / Women will set themselves for an advantage.  The Legend sing-jays:  nuff say dem ah dog but dem ah puss / no fear ambulance strap dem inna bush / and nuff say dem ah Ras but man ah ancient kush / Mih know say nuff say dog but dem ah puss….”  Beenie goes on to lyrically ride the riddim in a way that resembles a loaded weapon letting off rounds of bullets without a pause or glitch for 2.5 minutes straight, only stopping to reload ammunition.  K-A-B-O-O-M!

When a Legendary Sound Man (Black Scorpio) produces a riddim with proper construction (Lazy Body Reloaded), and it meets a Legendary performer (Beenie Man), the result is a wicked 45 called “Anyways” and a serious Sound killing Dubplate if you choose to have it cut that way!  You’re Welcome!

Download links for the 45 are below, and connect with Beenie on Twitter / Facebook @KingBeenieMan re getting the Dubplate.  Please note, you will have to pay for the Dubplate at the price set my Beenie and his management team!
