In a newly release video for “Sasco vs Assassin” – track number five on his latest EP with the same name – Agent Sasco, aided by director Game Over, shows us why he is in a league all by himself.
As one of the most versatile lyricist in dancehall, it is clear that as it stands right now, the only artist that can go up against Sasco is himself. Click here or on the image above to watch the video and you will better understand why we are saying that.
Save the dates! The Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival will be returning to the entertainment calendar in January 2021. The scheduled dates for the popular event are Thursday, January 28th through to Saturday, January 30th.
As it stands right now, the organizers are still in the process of finalizing acts for the show; however, we will be sharing the lineup once the info becomes available to us.
The 2020 MOBO Awards, which streamed live on the event’s YouTube channel this past Wednesday, has awarded Jamaican sing-jay Buju Banton as the ‘Best Reggae Act‘ for this year. The other nominees were: Popcaan, Koffee, Lila Iké and Protoje.
After winning, Buju Banton took to social media and posted the following message: “I thank the MOBO Awards committee, but most of all I thank everyone who has supported me and continue to support me. Let’s continue to allow music to do its job as the great healer, teacher, comforter and above all the restorative force that propels human beings to higher heights.”
Following up on their first release, “My Flow,” featured on the “Prelude” album, Queen Omega and Gold Up Music have teamed up once again to deliver a hard hitting, trap-influenced track, titled “Ready.”
The song comes with what Gold Up is calling a freestyle video, which shows a more forceful side of Omega. Click here or on the image above to check it out and remember to like, comment and share.
Peter Ingram, more popularly known as Peetah Sancho, is a roots-reggae singer who hails from the Lyndhurst Road area in Kingston, Jamaica. In the late 1970s he moved to Paterson, New Jersey, where he re-established himself, honed his songwriting skills and created his own record label, Tri Yard Music.
He began recording in the 1980’s, cutting a version of Jimmy Cliff’s “Sitting in Limbo” for producer Clifton Lawrence. Most of his time in the music business however, has been as producer. Over the years he has produced songs by acts such as Mr. Lexx, Redd Foxx and several other established and emerging artists all for his Tri Yard music imprint.
Unfortunately, Sancho decided to take a break from music in 2016. The hiatus from the music industry only lasted for four years, as he made a return to the scene with several major releases in 2020. Since the start of the year he has published four stunning tracks: : “Roses,” “When The Trumpet Blows,” “I&I” and “Agent Of The Heart.”
Sancho and his team are now actively promoting the aforementioned songs, while simultaneously preparing for potential shows and tours following the containment of covid19.
Maria Jackson Magazine has just learned that Gramps Morgan, one of the prominent member of the international reggae group Morgan Heritage, has released a Christmas song titled “Fa La La La La.” What stood out to us about this release is that the track is a country record, something we are not use to from a reggae singer.
Interestingly, “Fa La La La La” was produced by Scottish-Canadian country music artist Johnny Reid, who now resides in Nashville, Tennessee. Click here to stream and download “Fa La La La La” from your preferred music platform.
At the end of November Canadian artist/producer Gisto shared the official video for his single “Prosper.” It’s featured on his recently released album “Relief,” that came out in August.
“Prosper” is a collaboration done with international roots Rasta sing-jay Sizzla Kalonji, who is also present in the visuals. Click here or on the image above to check it out and remember to like, comment and share.
