Usain Bolt Collaborates With Agent Sasco On “Spend Time”

In an industry that often celebrates violent, vulgar, and deplorable content, good music filled with positive, well-crafted messages stands out like a sore thumb, immediately capturing the attention of everyone who hears it. This is the case with Agent Sasco‘s latest single, “Spend Time.”

Produced by track-and-field star Usain Bolt for his A-Team Lifestyle record label, “Spend Time” is a contemporary dancehall track on which Agent Sasco imparts valuable insights about the significance of time. Many people often lament their lack of financial resources to pursue their desires; however, Sasco suggests that rather than concentrating on what we lack, we should dedicate substantial time and energy to our aspirations.

Regarded as one of the best lyricists in reggae-dancehall, Agent Sasco has consistently produced and shared thought-provoking music. Unlike some of his peers, his songs, while contemporary in sound and style, have always been both inspirational and entertaining.

“Spend Time” is available for streaming and download on Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, Amazon Music, Tidal, Deezer, and iTunes

Karamanti drops visual for “Hell Fyah”

Dancehall artist Karamanti has just released the official video for “Hell Fyah,” a song she recorded some time ago and one that aptly explains why she’s been so inconsistent with sharing new music and making public appearances in recent months.

The song is featured on the Land Scape Riddim, a compilation that’s produced by recording artist and producer Rajah Dalla (aka Amnon) for his label Watzh You Frenz Records.

The visuals for “Hell Fyah” were captured in Jackson Town, Kingston, Jamaica. If you have not yet seen it, click here or on the image above to check it out, and remember to like, comment, and share.
