Pandemic Records & Entertainment LLC Wraps Up 2024 With The “Passion Fruit Riddim”  

After rolling out individual singles over a period of a year, Pandemic Records & Entertainment LLC is now sharing the complete “Passion Fruit Riddim” compilation. This is a banging dancehall juggling that features Ras Kronik, Capleton, Bounty Killer, Turbulence & friends, and Yahdeen Essence. Each song was shared as an independent track with a unique buy link. 

Ras Kronik‘s “The Energy” was published in mid-May of 2023, and it served as the title track for his upcoming album at the time. Emerging artist Yahdeen Essence was next with an inspirational tune called “Teach Me,” followed by Capleton‘s “Watch Out Fi Dem,” a song that laments the rise of petty crimes. The final two additions to the “Passion Fruit Riddim” were by Turbulence & Friends, “Bun Fiyah,” and Bounty Killer‘s current trending tune, “Ball a Roll.”

After yet another successful year, the team at Pandemic Records & Entertainment LLC will wrap up 2024 with this project. They are also promising to deliver more quality music in 2025.

Season’s Greetings From Mesha Steele

In the wake of what can only be described as a successful 2024, recording artist Mesha Steele is gracefully concluding the year by sharing Christmas songs from her expanding catalogue. In November, she unveiled both an album and a single dedicated to the festive season, inviting music lovers to embrace her unique holiday spirit.

Two key projects that deserve special attention are her previously released album, “Christmas in Paradise,” and the single “Good Mawnin Miss Lady.” Originally published years ago under John Q Records, “Christmas in Paradise” has been meticulously remastered and re-released through Mesha‘s independent imprint, Riddim Allstars. This album showcases her artistic evolution while retaining the warmth and joy associated with traditional Christmas music.

Moreover, “Good Mawnin Miss Lady,” which was produced during the pandemic, represents Mesha Steele‘s innovative take on a beloved Belizean Christmas classic of the same name. This reinterpretation not only honors its roots but also infuses it with her distinct style.

Both projects are readily accessible to audiences across various platforms including iTunes, Amazon Music, Spotify, Tidal, Deezer, Apple Music, and all other major streaming services. As we approach this festive season, Mesha Steele‘s contributions provide a delightful soundtrack for all who celebrate this joyous time of year.
