Last year, shortly after the release of her reggae single “Genesis 19,” Karamanti attempted to shoot the video for the song on three separate occasions, but was derailed each time. 

The first disruption came after the two initial scenes were captured – that of the dancer and guitarist – and it was time for Karamanti to shoot her performance scene. She immediately began exhibiting signs of the corona virus, which resulted in a halt in production allowing her to quarantine for the required number of days. Once she had gotten over covid-19, nature prevented the production from restarting as Jamaica was experiencing ongoing heavy rainfalls, putting a stop to any outdoor activity. And finally, after all the clips were recorded the editing system crashed!

Not being one to give up, the artist and her entire team regrouped after each setback and went at it again. Notwithstanding, the official video for “Genesis 19” is now out and can be viewed on her YouTube channel.

In December, Bugle in collaboration with the Sponge Music label released “Dutty Foot Can’t Step Clean.” The song, which is on the Word Press Riddim, is an insightful record that teaches what I would call old wisdom.

The title of the song “Dutty Foot Can’t Step Clean,” is what we here in Jamaica commonly refer to as a Jamaican proverb done in our own colloquialism. In other words it is wise teachings or guidance carried down from our forefathers and mothers.

Whereas the song focuses on Bugle‘s confidence and self-assurance, the video, which was released about a week ago, tells a troubling story of jealousy and greed. Click here or on the image above to watch the visuals and remember to like, comment and share.

On October 2nd, 2020, Cool & Calm Productions gave us a stunning riddim-driven compilation called “G & Mel Riddim.” The nine-track project features some of the best in reggae: Richie Spice, I-Wayne, Luciano, Lutan Fyah and more. I think everyone who have heard this album would agree with me when I say that every song is, or has the potential to be a hit!

With all that being said, a couple days ago Lutan Fyah released the official video for his song, “Guh Look A Wuk.” The visuals are nice, clean and simple, but in my opinion it’s the song that hooks you. Click here or on the image above to check it out.

Towards the end of 2020, international recording artist Tarrus Riley partnered with Chimney Records on a new single titled “EZ Nuh.” The dancehall track shows the singer’s versatility, as he is known mostly for his roots reggae and lover’s-rock tunes.

Yesterday – January 13th – Riley uploaded the song’s official video to his YouTube channel. Click here or on the image above to check it out.
