On Friday, March 27th, Troyton Music released a new R&B track titled “Over Again.” The song is performed by pop artist Ne-Yo and Jamaican dancehall star Charly Black. Music critics are already making predictions about the record; the consensus seems to be that it will be just as, or bigger than Party Animal.

Now that a lot of artists are unable to travel for work (perform), they’re focusing on other income streams. Koffee, the young Jamaican MC who had a massive 2019, is inviting her fans and supporters to check out her digital store.

Today we learnt that Moe’s Alley, located in Santa Cruz, California, will be closing their doors for now. Below is an official statement from the management regarding purchased tickets, refunds and reschedules.
“Hello friends and family, Moe’s Alley checking in with you. We wanted to let you know we will be closed for now, but we will be re-opening as soon as possible. In the meantime we are keeping our website MOESALLEY.COM up to date, and if you see CANCELLED that means you are getting a full refund back to your method of payment. (we have already fully refunded all March cancelled shows, and we will be refunding April cancelled shows next week)
If you see the word POSTPONED that means the show has been moved to a later date and all previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new date. (For example Los Lobos, Monophonics, Michael Rose, Hot Buttered Rum, Jesse Daniel & Coffis Brothers have all been moved & the new dates are up on our website.
