On June 28, 2022, BrownBabies Entertainment Group, an America based record label, released Time. This is a multi-genre sixteen-track LP (hip-hop, reggae, ska, dancehall, soca, house, and even some elements of soft rock) penned and performed by international recording artist Dollarman. Surprisingly, although he has done several singles over the years, Time is Dollarman‘s first and only full-length studio album.
The impeccable record confirms that in addition to being a masterful songwriter, Dollarman is also very diverse in his delivery, and is extremely comfortable with various musical styles. This point is buttressed by the fact that his two biggest hits are both house music, while his now trending single is a reggae tune.
Time features collaborations with Makedah, Steve Edwards, Mesha, Klicc, and Sojiii, and it touches on a sundry of topics. Most importantly, it’s a well produced, fun project that should be on everyone’s playlist. Time can be streamed and/or downloaded from all the major music platforms.
