Maria Jackson Radio Is Now Back Online!

Posted on June 5, 2020 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

radio Our digital music station, Maria Jackson Radio (MJR), is now back online! The station began broadcasting again on June 2nd, 2020 after being off air for a couple of weeks due to technical difficulties.

Now that the station is back online, listeners can expect some changes to our playlist. In the past we only streamed reggae music and all sub-genres deriving from that style; however, going forward MJR will begin to slowly incorporate other urban genres providing the content is positive.

The theme of the station will follow our overall theme, which is: “Promoting Positive Black Music & Telling The Stories Of The People Behind It.” We stream 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with new music added to our playlist every week.

Posted on May 31, 2020 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

On Saturday, May 30th, Jamaican pop star, Koffee, shared the following statement on her social media platforms:

“As we witness the constant injustice towards our brothers and sisters, we must stand together. I may be young, but I can fully feel the weight of the decades of oppression and abuse towards not only Black Americans, but Black people all over the world. Let George Floyd’s life be not in vein. We must fight for freedom and fight against injustice. We are all in this together. None of us are free until all of us are free.”

Demarco Pays Tribute To Beenie Man & Bounty Killer In New Song (@DemarcoDaDon @KingBeenieMan @grunggaadzilla)

Posted on May 28, 2020 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

Recording artist Demarco just released one of the most compelling dancehall songs for 2020. The track, titled “Homage,” is a tribute to two of the biggest names in the dancehall music industry: Beenie Man and Bounty Killer.

What makes “Homage” compelling is the passion heard in Demarco’s voice as he makes it clear, on the record, that he will never disrespect Beenie or Bounty. He also highlights something we all know to be true; the fact that a lot of Jamaica’s inner-city youths are able to make a living because of these two musical giants.
