The journey of Jamaican-born, America-based recording artist Mr. Pike has not been an easy one. The singer, songwriter, producer, and businessman sadly lost his first wife, Tasha Pike, in 2017. Her passing had a devastating impact on Mr. Pike, because in addition to being the love of his life, Tasha also played an instrumental role in the success of his business.
Not being one to stay down, and also for the sake of the kids, Mr. Pike has since picked himself up, pushed through the pain, and now considers himself a happy man, despite all that he has been through. A big part of that happiness is his new love interest, his current wife, Chavannie Pike, whom he wedded in 2023. Mr. Pike is so overjoyed that he has written a song about his life, with an emphasis on his present-day relationship.
The single, which went live on streaming platforms earlier today, August 30, 2024, is titled “This Ring.” Categorized as reggae, “This Ring” is fused with afrobeat and even has elements of amapiano. The lyrics sound more like vows used at his actual wedding as opposed to a song inspired by his marriage. “This Ring” can be streamed and downloaded from iTunes, Tidal, Apple Music, Deezer, and all other digital music stores.
The Roots, led by Questlove and Black Thought, will headline a major concert at the Filene Center (1551 Trap Road) in Vienna, Virginia this Saturday, August 31st.
The all hip-hop show will also feature Digable Planets with their chart-topping hits “Rebirth Like Slick (Cool Like Dat)” and “Where I’m From,” as well as Grammy-winning Arrested Development with their mega-hits “Tennessee,” “People Everyday,” and “Mr. Wendal.”
One of the pioneers of female rap, MC Lyte, has just released an inspirational single called Thank You. The record features Mary Mary and Muni Long, and is being labeled as gospel by some industry insiders, not because of Mary Mary but rather because of MC Lyte‘s overt and passionate praise and acknowledgement of God.
Hip-hop lovers, however, who are of the belief that Lyte may be dropping an album soon, consider Thank You one of the strongest of her recent releases. It went live on streaming platforms on August 23rd and is on the My Block Inc. imprint.
