Capping off another successful year with his award-winning inspirational anthem ‘Success Story’; touring the United Kingdom; lending support to Caribbeans & U.S hurricane victims; embarking on a two-month island-wide campaign, bringing social awareness to school children in Jamaica regarding the use and impact of social media. 2017 was a good year for Reggae firebrand Nesbeth and with such achievements, he is looking to do even more phenomenal things in the new year.

Set to release his first official single for 2018 dubbed ‘My Year’, the insightful crooner is now back in the studio laying down a number of recordings for his debut album. Titled ‘A.M.E.N‘, Nesbeth says the name was inspired by his late wife Ann-Marie Elliot Nesbeth whose initials forms the acronym.

Produced on the Entertainment Soul recording imprint, the album will feature a number of unheard exclusives with a few surprise collaborations. Known for his musical erudition, Nesbeth says fans will be thoroughly pleased with the offering. The compilation is expected to be released later this year.

We were just informed that legendary reggae/dancehall gospel artist, Lt. Stitchie, has been nominated in the category of “BEST GOSPEL ENTERTAINER” for the International Reggae & World Music Awards (IRAWMA).

This nomination comes as no surprise as Lt. Stitchie has been consistently touring, creating and releasing new music for the past year. He ended 2017 with two video shoots; one for the track “Undisputed” on the Life 101 Riddim by Blakkwuman22 Music, and the other for “Thank You,” a popular record that is on his own label, Drum and Bass Music. Both videos will be released this month (January 2018).

In addition to that, the artist will be dropping a brand new album which features collaborations with Agent Sasco, Fantan Mojah, Million Stylez, Lukie D and Ricky Stereo in the coming weeks

If you are tuned into the reggae/dancehall industry on any level, then you may have noticed that popular sing-jay, Wayne Marshall, has released several new songs over the past few weeks. Marshall, who is a committed family man, disappeared from the public stage for many years. Though he was still actively involved in the music industry, he managed to keep a low profile and was rarely, if ever, seen in the media. That is all until recently.

To everyone’s surprise, a couple of new records by Wayne Marshall surfaced in the 4^th quarter of 2017. He released “Best Smoke” on the Jook Yiy Riddim, produced by Yard Vybz Entertainment and “Social Media” with Bugle, much to everyone’s delight. His fans and supporters reacted immediately, praising his comeback with excitement and joy.

I guess it is safe to say that Wayne Marshall is the man to watch in 2018.
