A lot has changed in the music industry as a result of the corona virus pandemic. Most performers are unable to accept bookings because of the very real possibility of cancellation and the uncertainty surrounding turnout.

While some artists have decided to sit out the pandemic, others have simply adopted to the new norm by amending their overall strategy. One such artist is dancehall deejay Capleton. Though he is not doing nearly as much shows as he was before covid-19, King Shango remains very active in the business by consistently sharing new content.

His latest is an inspirational record titled Rise & Shine (done for Sponge Music). It was published on January 21st along with its official video. Click here or on the image above to check it out and remember to like, comment and share.

Dancehall artist Karamanti and the team at Blakkwuman22 Music have just uploaded the official video for Start With A Prayer. The song is the lead single on Karamanti‘s just released Spiritual Warfare album, published in December.

All the scenes for the video were captured at Anchor Recording Studios in Kingston, Jamaica by fellow dancehall artist Mackamilli aka Macka Head (from the Innocent Crew); while the complete editing were done in house by Maria Jackson Entertainment. 

As it relates to the actual song; the rhythm for Start With A Prayer was created by Old Harbour based producer Lamar Thompson, who is the CEO and owner of AudioTraxx Productions. Karamanti‘s own Blakkwuman22 Music is the executive producer, publisher and independent distributor of the entire project.

In addition to being the first song on the Spiritual Warfare album, Start With A Prayer is also one of four songs featured on the Restart Riddim; a dancehall compilation that also has music from Peppery, I-Talawah and Sherida Sharpe.

In the Spring of 2022 reggae-dancehall artist Ragga Lox will be releasing a new studio album – not yet titled. As such, he has kicked off the year by sharing the lead single from the project: an upbeat dancehall tune titled Spliff & Beer.

The track, which is all about enjoying and valuing life, was officially released on January 18 and is now available for download on all digital streaming platforms. 

Recorded at the Field of Dreams Studio in Mount Vernon, Spliff & Beer was produced by Nemessz at SoSeriuz Production; mixed by Steadley Meddz Reid and mastered by Chris Scott at Castek Systems Solution in Queens, New York. Executive producer is Rohan “Ragga Lox” Robinson.

According to Lox: “This song was inspired by the times we are living in. After loosing some close family members and friends, I wanted to give a sense of appreciation for life. Knowing we don’t have much control over what’s going on, however life continues and we should make the best of it the best way we know how.”
