Earlier this evening (Sunday, February 26th), newcomer Trinni did a meet and greet at Paul Patmore Memorial Gardens – on the roof – in Lowe River, Trelawny (Jamaica). The event’s objective was to officially introduce both Trinni and her music to the public, as she embarks on her career as a recording artist with the support of Paul Patmore and his production team.
Last year the two brands (Trinni and Paul Patmore) formed an alliance which resulted in the release of two now trending singles: Stay Solid and Cash. Stay Solid came out in October, while Cash, her latest, was shared only a few weeks ago, on January 20th. The songs have been getting a lot of support, consequently, Trinni‘s confidence, as well as her skills as a singer-songwriter are on full display.
The aforementioned tracks were performed live at the meet and greet, which was free to the public.

Justus Arison (of JA Productions) has collaborated with the dancehall king, Beenie Man, on a new party song titled Sail Out. The audio, along with its official video, were released on all music platforms a few days ago – on February 3rd – serving as the lead track on the forthcoming compilation with the same name.
The Sail Out Riddim, which is due out at the end of the month, is being powered by JA Productions and DubShot Records. Title track aside, the album is already getting a lot of attention because it’s the first dancehall riddim that will be available on Dolby Atmos. For those not in the know, Dolby Atmos is a surround sound technology developed by Dolby Laboratories. It expands on existing surround sound systems and delivers an in-studio style listening experience.
The aforementioned is just another ground breaking move by Justus Arison, the man who has supported dancehall stars like Mavado, Gyptian, Charly Black, Popcaan, Shenseea, and Teejay early in their careers. Now working with Beenie Man – who is currently at the top of his game – Arison continues to make major moves. Sail Out – the single – is already featured on Run Tings and New Music Daily at Apple, New Music Friday playlists on Spotify (UK, Canada, NMF Christian, Ghana, Nigeria), Just Dropped playlist in the UK, and the Brand New Music UK playlist on Amazon.
