Reggae singer, songwriter and producer Mr. Cool delivers a thought-provoking message with his latest single, “They Don’t Want Us To Know,” released August 17, 2026 on his own You & I Productions label. The release sees the Rastafarian artist addressing beliefs surrounding the divinity of former Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I, while challenging how his significance is represented within mainstream religious teachings.

As an active member of the Rastafarian community, Mr. Cool uses “They Don’t Want Us To Know” to express his perspective on the biblical references that he believes point to Haile Selassie. The song also takes aim at other religious traditions, questioning why, from his viewpoint, this interpretation of biblical scripture is not more widely acknowledged.

As with much of his musical output, Mr. Cool wrote and produced “They Don’t Want Us To Know,” maintaining complete creative involvement in the recording and its message. His commitment to the song extends beyond the studio, as he recently travelled to Jamaica to film its official music video.

Scenes for the upcoming video were shot at the popular House of Dread in Vineyard Town, a location with strong cultural and Rastafarian associations. The video is currently in the editing stage and is expected to be released in the coming weeks.

Until then, “They Don’t Want Us To Know” is available to stream and download across major digital music platforms.

International reggae superstar Tarrus Riley is scheduled to take the stage at the prestigious Jon Batiste’s Jazz Club at Baha Mar for a multi-night residency this October.

Originally slated for a shorter engagement, overwhelming demand from both local music enthusiasts and international travelers has prompted organizers to expand the run. The powerhouse vocalist will now perform for three consecutive nights: Wednesday, October 7, Thursday, October 8, and Friday, October 9, 2026.

Known for his smooth vocals, commanding stage presence, and chart-topping anthems like “She’s Royal” and “Good Girl Gone Bad,” Riley’s upcoming performances promise an intimate fusion of classic roots reggae and the sophisticated, acoustic ambiance of Baha Mar’s premier musical venue.

Nestled within the luxury Baha Mar resort district in Nassau, Jon Batiste’s Jazz Club has quickly established itself as a hub for world-class live entertainment. Bringing an artist of Riley‘s caliber into the intimate, upscale setting highlights the venue’s commitment to showcasing diverse, top-tier global talent.

Jamaican recording artiste Kass Smith has joined forces with reggae veteran Chuck Fenda for “The Chosen Ones,” a powerful new reggae single released on September 18, 2026. Produced by renowned saxophonist and producer Dean Fraser, with Kass Smith serving as executive producer, the collaboration delivers a message centred on inner power, unity, and the spiritual mysticism within us all.

“The Chosen Ones” grew from Smith’s desire to create a song addressing emotional, physical, spiritual and financial abundance. After being introduced to Chuck Fenda through their mutual connection, Smith felt that Fenda’s distinctive voice and perspective would complement the song’s message. The collaboration subsequently developed into a recording that Smith hopes will encourage listeners to look within themselves and recognize their own potential.

The project took approximately six months to complete and involved contributors across several countries. Smith initially recorded in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, with Demoy Thomas, while Chuck Fenda recorded his contribution in New Jersey, USA. The track was then reviewed and adjusted in Germany with Teacha Dee before Smith returned to Jamaica, where the recording was completed with Dean Fraser and Rommel Marshall.

Accompanying the single is an official music video that maintains a Jamaican feel while expanding the visual presentation to include elements of Latin America, Africa and other regions. The international scope of the video complements the song’s broader themes of unity and connection.

“The Chosen Ones” is now available for download and streaming on major digital streaming platforms.
