Warrior Sound has released the official video for Fantan Mojah‘s “Confidence,” giving the 2022 reggae recording a bright and colorful visual filmed on Bastimentos Island (Old Bank), Bocas del Toro, Panama. The video premiered on YouTube on September 11, 2026, and can be viewed on the YouTube channels of Reggae Night Bocas and Warrior Sound Int.

Throughout the video, Fantan Mojah performs “Confidence” at several locations while interacting naturally with people in the community. In some scenes, he exchanges fist-bumps with locals as they pass, adding a personal element to the visual. Between the performance scenes are brief glimpses of everyday surroundings.

The song carries a message of faith and inner strength, with the known Rastafarian artist expressing his confidence in the God he serves and his refusal to be troubled by the actions or opinions of man. The video‘s vibrant imagery and community-focused moments complement that message while showcasing the character and atmosphere of Bastimentos Island.

The video was directed by DJ Dillo of Reggae Night Bocas, with production by Red Eyes Corp. The production team also includes Art Department by Mabe Guiraud, PA Maia Guiraud, 1st AC DJ Chiqui Dubs and 2nd AC Vertex. Reggae Night Bocas is credited as the production company.

Kingston’s reggae and dub poetry community will gather this evening to celebrate the life and legacy of Michael “Mikey” Smith, the pioneering Jamaican dub poet whose voice remains one of the most powerful in the genre’s history. The tribute, titled “Remembering Mikey Smith,” forms part of the Inner City Dub series and is billed as a Roots Rockers Reggae Dub Session.

The event takes place Monday, September 14, 2026, from 7 PM to midnight at Nation Lounge, 2A Milk Lane, Spanish Town Road, in downtown Kingston.

Smith, born September 14, 1954, was killed on August 17, 1983, at the age of 28. His work — delivered with a searing, rhythmic intensity — gave voice to the struggles of Jamaica’s urban poor and helped shape dub poetry into a globally recognized art form. His death, widely viewed as politically motivated, cut short a career that had already left an indelible mark on Caribbean literature and performance.

Monday’s session will feature live performances from Duane Stephenson, The Great Owl, Diamond X, and Kacy Garvey, alongside special guest performers and speakers. The lineup also includes contributions from Honor Ford-Smith, Blakka Ellis, and Mbala Mgabo. DJ Architect will hold down the selections for the night.

Denise Isis Miller will serve as master of ceremonies, guiding the evening’s programme of tributes and testimonials honouring Smith‘s life, artistry, and enduring influence on Jamaican culture.

The event is presented by I-Nation Edutainment and the Conscious Reggae Party, with admission set at “Love & Light” — a call for attendees to come with an open spirit and full appreciation for the music and message.

Jamaican singer Alaine has released her latest single, “Yes I,” a faith-centered reggae track that offers expression of gratitude to God for His goodness, guidance and protection. Released on September 11, 2026, the song was produced by Seanizzle and Sasha Maya Benjamin, with Alaine Laughton credited as the songwriter.

Inspired by the spirit of Psalm 143:10, “Yes I” has the feel of a personal prayer, with Alaine reflecting on God’s faithfulness and acknowledging His presence through life’s challenges. The accompanying official music video, available on Alaine’s YouTube channel, provides a beautiful visual representation of the song’s message.

Throughout the video, Alaine appears nicely dressed in three distinct outfits across three different settings. One scene takes place on the beach, while another appears to be set in a colorful garden surrounded by bright flowers. The third setting places her aboard a boat, literally surrounded by the sea. Saxophonist Daniel Richards, known as Richie Sax, also appears alongside Alaine in some scenes.

Directed by Gavin Palmer of GavMazing Collective, with Sasha Maya Benjamin serving as Creative Director and Courtney Russell as Director of Photography, the video combines striking natural settings with Alaine’s elegant presentation. The result is a fitting visual companion to “Yes I,” capturing the song’s spirit of faith, appreciation and thanksgiving.

Reggae veteran Anthony B has released the official music video for “Oh Jah,” the closing track from his latest album, World of Love. The video was uploaded to Anthony B’s official YouTube channel on September 11.

Produced visually by Barkley Films, the clean video features Anthony B performing “Oh Jah” in a variety of outdoor locations, including scenes framed by Rastafari-inspired backdrops. One particularly striking sequence finds the artist performing in what appears to be an open field, while another places him in front of what appears to be a food truck.

In the food-truck scene, Anthony B is joined by two other Rastafari men, while the seller inside also joins in, dancing and vibing to the music as Anthony B delivers the song. The natural interaction adds warmth and energy to the presentation.

The video complements the message of “Oh Jah” well, bringing the song’s powerful lyrics of faith, strength and spiritual guidance to life through simple but effective imagery. It is a visually pleasing production that allows the music and its message to remain at the center.

Fans can watch the official “Oh Jah” video on Anthony B’s YouTube channel.

The live reggae music series, dubbed “APEX Live,” is scheduled for Sunday, September 27th, with showtime set for 8 PM sharp, at Tivoli Gardens, Top 10. The organizers have confirmed that there is no entrance fee for attendees despite the lineup of international reggae acts.

Confirmed are Lutan Fyah, Turbulence, Bugle, I-Wayne, and Pressure Busspipe—a strong showing of respected conscious reggae and dancehall artists. All artists will be backed by the equally celebrated Ruff Kutt Band.
