King Jazzy Returns With A Banging Dance Track “Body Move” (@kingjazzyBee @bridgewayartist)

King Jazzy continues to show his creativity and the depth of his versatility with the release of his latest single, Body Move. The up-tempo house track, which is slowly becoming a favorite at street dances in Jamaica, was released in the latter part of January.

The production process was a team effort that included partners Meeshka and Motor City Mello, with King Jazzy focusing on the lead lines on the keyboard as well as the song’s lyrical composition. It was recorded at Detroit’s Workshop Studio at the beginning of the year and then shared on his Electric Sticky label shortly thereafter.

In a recent interview done with Blast King TV, King Jazzy lamented on the difficulty his management team is having as it relates to marketing him effectively. This is because he is capable of doing various musical styles with ease, and as such cannot be tied to one particular genre.

Anyone who has listened to just a few songs in King Jazzy‘s catalog will empathize with his camp, after hearing him go from roots-reggae to hip-hop to EDM effortlessly.

KRS-One Is A MC, Are You One Too? (@IAmKRSOne)

On Tuesday, February 22nd, Mr. Lawrence Parker who is publicly known as KRS-One, released his 24th studio album: I M A M C R U 1 2 (I am a MC are you one too). As KRS describes it, this is an album by a MC for MCs.

The record has a total of fourteen tracks and every single one is banging! Anyone who grew up on eighties and nineties hip-hop will immediately appreciate this body of work for its undeniable authenticity. As the saying goes: real recognize real.

What is mind blowing about this album is that it’s excellent on all levels: lyrics, message, beats, flow etc. Kudos to producers SUN-One, Pascal, KPrymeTheJaeger, Mlody, DJ Static, Whalan Jackson and Elan Morrison for their respective contributions to what will go down in history as one of KRS-One‘s best records.

If you have stepped away from what these kids with excessive tattoos and piercings refer to as hip-hop, because you cannot understand or relate to what they are mumbling about, then I encourage you to check out I M A M C R U 1 2. It is refreshing to hear real rap songs from an actual MC again. Click here to listen to the full project.
