Love him or hate him, no one should ever count out Elephant Man! Though he is most known and revered for his dancing tunes, Ele – as he is affectionately called by his fans and supporters – is also very gifted lyrically. Those lyrics are on full display in his song “The Blessings.”
Approximately one week ago, he and his team dropped a very compelling video for the track. Click here or on the image above to check it out and remember to like, comment and share.
On December 3rd reggae-dancehall recording artist Anthony B partnered with Massive B Records to ask the one question that’s on everyone’s mind; when are things going to get back to normal?
The new track is a hard-hitting dancehall song dubbed “Back to Normal.” Click here to check out.
In a newly release video for “Sasco vs Assassin” – track number five on his latest EP with the same name – Agent Sasco, aided by director Game Over, shows us why he is in a league all by himself.
As one of the most versatile lyricist in dancehall, it is clear that as it stands right now, the only artist that can go up against Sasco is himself. Click here or on the image above to watch the video and you will better understand why we are saying that.
The 2020 MOBO Awards, which streamed live on the event’s YouTube channel this past Wednesday, has awarded Jamaican sing-jay Buju Banton as the ‘Best Reggae Act‘ for this year. The other nominees were: Popcaan, Koffee, Lila Iké and Protoje.
After winning, Buju Banton took to social media and posted the following message: “I thank the MOBO Awards committee, but most of all I thank everyone who has supported me and continue to support me. Let’s continue to allow music to do its job as the great healer, teacher, comforter and above all the restorative force that propels human beings to higher heights.”
Following up on their first release, “My Flow,” featured on the “Prelude” album, Queen Omega and Gold Up Music have teamed up once again to deliver a hard hitting, trap-influenced track, titled “Ready.”
The song comes with what Gold Up is calling a freestyle video, which shows a more forceful side of Omega. Click here or on the image above to check it out and remember to like, comment and share.
Anyone who is involved in the West Indian community in Canada is familiar with Denise Jones. She is the founder of Jones & Jones Productions, an event and artists management company that is committed to excellence. Though the actual cause of her death was not revealed, we can say that she died yesterday, December 3rd, she was only 64 years-old and according to reports, she has been ill for some time.
On a personal note, I – Maria Jackson – have worked with Denise on a number of occasions. I have sat with her on board meetings in Ontario and have booked her artists on my events in Europe. This news is very shocking and sad because I truly believe that she had so much more to do for the Canadian reggae scene.
My deepest condolences to her family, friends and love ones.
The 2020 MOBO Awards virtual ceremony will be live-streamed exclusively on the event’s YouTube channel on Wednesday, December 9th at 7:00 PM (UK time). Shortly thereafter, the 90-minute show will then broadcast on BBC One at 10:45 PM GMT.
This year’s nominees for Best Reggae Act are: Popcaan, Koffee, Lila Iké, Buju Banton and Protoje.
