In what is being described by business insiders as the most transformative power play in diaspora radio, Roadblock radio will on May 1, 2024, begin broadcasting 24×7 Caribbean content on 101.1FM HD3 in the tri-state area. The announcement was made by Roadblock radio founder and CEO Kacy ‘G City’ Rankine.
Rankine, who brokered the landmark deal, said he signed a contract with Audacy, Inc, the third largest radio company in the US in March. Audacy, Inc. owns 235 radio stations across 48 media markets. In November, 2017, the company merged with CBS radio.
Without specifically naming Caribbean personalities that will be part of the new station, Rankine said, “We have jocks lining up from NY, NJ, LA, Colorado, Florida, Jamaica, Trinidad, Africa and Haiti who will all be part of this new experience. We will play reggae, dancehall, soca, kompa music and everything in between. This will be big for the culture.”

Mikey, the indisputable General of reggae music, has partnered with Mountain Peak Records for his latest single. Titled Ain’t No Sunshine, the song is his rendition of Bill Withers‘ 1971 megahit with the same name. Mikey General‘s Ain’t No Sunshine was released on April 8th, 2024, and it serves as the introductory track to his forthcoming studio album.
The song surprised a lot of his fans and supporters because they’ve gotten accustomed to the Rastafarian 1) penning and performing his own songs, and 2) singing about social issues and spirituality. That said, Mikey’s long-time friend and owner of Mountain Peak Records, Anthony Cargill, has been urging him to venture outside the box for some time, and now that he has done it, the move is paying off. Ain’t No Sunshine is being received with delight and enjoyment by both lovers of reggae and lovers of soul.
It can be streamed and/or downloaded from all digital music platforms.
