Tommie Tei, the Linstead recording artist, is experiencing a notable surge in his musical career as he proudly announces that two of his previously released tracks have recently been featured on Island Buzz Radio’s esteemed Top 5 at 5 countdown. Island Buzz Radio, recognized as one of Jamaica’s fastest-growing digital stations broadcasting from Portmore, has garnered a significant following for its curated playlist that celebrates both local and international talent.

On May 23rd, 2025, Tommie Tei‘s “Party,” a modern dancehall track shared some time ago, and “Do It Like That,” a one-drop reggae song favored by many of his fans, secured prominent positions within the top five alongside three internationally acclaimed hits. Notably, “You’re Hired” by Ayra Star occupied the fifth position while “Tack Back” by Kes claimed fourth place. Tommie’s “Do It Like That” impressively landed at third behind Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s collaboration “Luther,” with “Party” earning the top spot.

When asked about his feelings regarding having not just one, but two of his songs on the chart, Tommie Tei expressed his gratitude to DJ Kelvin and the entire Island Buzz Radio family for including his songs in their playlist and providing them with consistent rotation on their platform.

The inclusion of these tracks in such a highly regarded chart serves as a testament to Tommie Tei’s diligent work ethic and unwavering commitment to his craft.

Veteran Dancehall Artist Harry Toddler Sends Message In “Code”

Veteran dancehall artist Harry Toddler, who has been active in the music industry since the early 1990s, has achieved international success with two brands: he was a member of the famed dancehall ensemble Scare Dem Crew, and he’s also celebrated for his work as a solo act.

With a career spanning over 30 years, Harry Toddler uses his latest single to outline some rules that have been important to his longevity. On the track, the Kingston-born deejay mentions two things in particular that would immediately capture his attention, making him suspicious of the person involved: the first being anyone who betrays his friends, and the second, men who obsessively chase after women. Harry Toddler says these actions are codes (indicators) of an inauthentic person. 

The song, aptly titled “Code,” was officially released on May 15, and it comes to us courtesy of one of the fastest-rising reggae-dancehall music labels, Pandemic Records & Entertainment LLC.

“Code” is the latest addition to Pandemic‘s “Passion Fruit Riddim,” a compilation that also features Bounty Killer, Capleton, Ras Kronik, Sizzla, Yahdeen Essence, and Turbulence“Code” and the other songs on the “Passion Fruit Riddim” can be downloaded from all major streaming platforms.
