After being released approximately two months ago, Dollarman‘s latest single, So Tired, has already been added to The Foundation Radio Network NY Charts, a graph that is widely recognized as an indicator of how a reggae track and/or album is doing in New York and, in some cases, the broader Mid-Atlantic states.

So Tired is an inspirational roots tune that was penned by Dollarman and produced by both he and Bernard Joseph (IOBI). Published on 420 Records at the beginning of September, the song serves as a general response from anyone who has been, or is currently being, gaslighted, bullied, misled, etc. “I’m so tired of running—it’s been a long time coming. The time is now, the place is here, and I’m ready to overcome my fear.” The preceding are words used in the first half of the chorus. 

The backing vocals for So Tired were done by Naomi Trench (also known as Makedah). It was mixed in Jamaica by legendary record producer and sound engineer Karl Pitterson, who is credited for the following Steel Pulse albums: Handsworth Revolution (1978), Tribute to the Martyrs (1979), and True Democracy (1982).

Last summer, Rastafarian reggae artist Ras Kronik released his 3rd studio album, “The Energy.” Since it came out, he and the team at Pandemic Records & Entertainment LLC, the imprint on which it is published, have been sharing individual tracks as singles. The latest is “Agree to Disagree,” track number 2.

The timely record encourages listeners to come to an understanding with whomever they disagree with as opposed to getting into squabbles. Ras Kronik goes even deeper by emphasizing the importance of love and unity. He reminds us that despite our differences, we actually have more in common than that which divides us.

“Agree to Disagree” is a powerful reggae tune that was reshared as a single on September 20th, 2024. It is currently available on Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, Tidal, iTunes, and other streaming platforms.
