Mount Everest is featured on Euphoria‘s season two soundtrack. For those not in the know, Euphoria is the second most watched show in HBO history, behind Game of Thrones. Composed by Labrinth, the compilation has tracks that takes listeners on a journey of highs and lows, ups and downs; much like the actual show does.

A few days ago Labrinth and his team dropped the very disturbing, but creative visuals for Mount Everest. If you have not yet seen it, be sure to check it out and remember to like, comment and share.

Posted on April 24, 2022 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

The Ghanaian reggae artist that is now being called the Reggae Man after releasing an album with the same name, has just shared the official video for his single, Back Again. The song is featured on the aforementioned LP (track #2).

The visuals were captured in the United States, which is where Wolo is based. It was shot by OTFILMS and edited in Jamaica by Maria Jackson. It extensively highlights past racial atrocities, as it challenges the viewer to think about how the same things are happening today, just camouflaged and implemented differently.

Back Again was produced and mixed by Bobby Roy in Stockholm, Sweden. That said, Tradition Man‘s vocals were recorded at Undercaste Studios in Shoreline, Washington; while the mastering was done by Mike Caplan at Lion and Fox Studios, in Washington DC.
