Reggae sing-jay Bugle is letting it be known that he is indeed living his “Best Life.” In mid October the Rasta man dropped a new song on the Pure Time Riddim, which was immediately followed by the song’s official video at the end of the month.
On the Record, titled “Best Life,” Bugle conveys the message that it’s not about having name brands or living the fast life, but instead it’s about always remaining humble while giving God thanks for the little or much that we have.

About a month ago Landmark Records released the “Child’s Play Riddim.” The bouncy dancehall project features new music from Demarco, Ding Dong, I Octane and several other artists.

The visuals, like the song, tells the story of a man who links up with a woman who he thought was single, but found out she was not after her baby father catches them at her house.
