The “137 Street Riddim” medley music video was uploaded to Richie Spice’s official YouTube channel on September 4, 2026.

Directed by Shervel Thesheep, the video features Richie Spice, Turbulence, Lolaa Smiles, Jah Melody, and Chezidek, with each artist performing his or her respective song in a different location. The production uses seamless transitions, mixing each clip into the next in a style reminiscent of a selector blending records during a reggae session.

The medley features Richie Spice’s “Lately,” Turbulence’s “Wilderness,” Lolaa Smiles’ “Real Love,” Jah Melody’s “Need You To Know,” and Chezidek’s “Dem Can’t Stop It.” Lutan Fyah’s “She Don’t Want To Leave” is also part of the 137 Street Riddim lineup, although he does not appear in the video. The riddim is a Brownz Records production, with individual songs released separately rather than as a single compilation project.

The new medley video gives the individual productions a collective visual identity while highlighting the versatility of the artists featured on the 137 Street Riddim.

Jamaican reggae singer KashieF Lindo has released the official lyric video for his latest single, “Who (RMD),” a captivating love song that showcases the smooth vocals and timeless artistry that have made him a favorite among reggae lovers worldwide.

The official lyric video was uploaded to the HeavyBeat Records YouTube channel on August 25, 2026, offering fans a visually engaging companion to the romantic reggae track.

Created by MJ27, the video features carefully selected silhouettes of couples positioned against some of the world’s most beautiful beaches. The scenic imagery, combined with prominently displayed lyrics and the creative use of varying font styles and sizes, provides an atmospheric visual experience that complements the song’s theme.

The clips featured throughout the video were deliberately chosen to reflect the storyline behind “Who (RMD),” which tells the tale of a man deeply infatuated with a woman who appears to have more than one admirer. Caught between hope and uncertainty, he is left wondering where he stands in her heart as he asks the central question: “Who do you love?”

Written by Willie Lindo and KashieF Lindo, “Who (RMD)” benefits from an impressive lineup of accomplished musicians. Legendary drummer Sly Dunbar handles the drum programming, while the late great Robbie Shakespeare delivers the bass. Willie Lindo contributes guitars, with Keith Sterling on piano and keyboards. KashieF Lindo also provides the background vocals.

The recording was completed at HeavyBeat Recording Studio, with mixing handled by Garfield McDonald and mastering completed by the HeavyBeat Team.

Fans and reggae lovers are encouraged to stream and download “Who (RMD)” on digital streaming platforms and watch the official lyric video on the HeavyBeat Records YouTube channel.

Roots reggae singer and songwriter Empress Minott has released the official music video for her latest single, “Love Me When It’s Hard,” offering a compelling visual interpretation of a song that explores the true meaning of love, commitment and standing by someone when life becomes challenging.

The official video was uploaded to YouTube on August 28, 2026, and was co-directed by Empress Minott and Kevin “Supa Nova” Salmon of Dub School JA. Minott also conceived the original concept for the video, helping to shape the storyline and its connection to the message of the song. Salmon directed, shot and edited the production, while also making his acting debut by portraying Minott’s partner in the video.

Shot at various locations throughout Portland, Jamaica, the video follows a relationship from its hopeful beginnings through one of its most difficult moments. The story begins with Minott’s character being approached by a man. After a brief conversation, he asks for her phone number, which she gives him. The story then moves forward, revealing that the two have developed a loving relationship and are enjoying life together.

The story progresses further, showing the couple expecting their first child. However, the relationship takes an unexpected turn when the man ultimately steps away following disagreements within the relationship, bringing an emotional dimension to the visual narrative.

The storyline closely complements the message of “Love Me When It’s Hard,” which challenges the idea that love should be measured only by the good times. The song emphasizes the importance of remaining present, supportive and committed when circumstances become difficult. Through both the lyrics and the video, Minott highlights the reality that genuine love requires patience, understanding and commitment beyond the joyful moments.

“Love Me When It’s Hard” is now available for streaming and download on major digital music platforms. The official music video is available now on YouTube.
