Reggae Duo 2 Of A Kind Is Back In Studio Working On New Music

Following the release of their first ever EP, She’s Bad, brothers Shawn and Shane Stephens, who are publicly known as 2 Of A Kind, are now back in the studio working on new material.

In one of their earlier interviews, Shawn said: “the more positive words that go out in the world, the beast won’t have the strength to maintain the stronghold that him have on the people.” And with that mindset the duo are back to creating what they describe as music filled with love strong enough to devour the beast.

Having recently returned to the music industry after a very long hiatus, they are now showing their commitment to remaining consistent by working on new songs that they intend on sharing in 2022. In the meantime, they’re encouraging their fans and supporters to stream and download the She’s Bad EP.

That said, it was just announced that Charly Black has kicked off the official tour in support of his new album Rio Bueno. As it stands right now there are 19 dates confirmed across the United States of America and Canada, with more to be announced.

Over the weekend the prime minister of Jamaica, Mr. Andrew Holness, announced that States of Public Emergency (SOEs) are now in effect in seven police divisions islandwide. They were put in place to curtail upsurges in violent crimes.
