In a recent interview with The Star – one of Jamaica’s leading national newspapers – Ras Kronik, who is actively promoting his recently released album, The Energy, said the following:
“I believe that with continued promotion, this album will achieve tremendous commercial success and eventually become a classic. It has all the right elements to achieve that level of success. All the songs on it were professionally written and recorded, and the mixes are great. This is a top-notch production.”
The Energy, which is predominantly reggae and dancehall, was released on August 18, 2023 via Pandemic Records & Entertainment LLC. It features only one collaboration – Fyah Burn, done with reggae legend Turbulence – and the creative energies (no pun intended) of producers and beatmakers: Mr. Mig, Ricky Dread, Trixx Anthony Tenyue, Sheldon and Everton Edwards.
The Energy can be streamed and/or downloaded from iTunes, Apple Music, Deezer, Spotify, Tidal, and all other music platforms. If you have not done so as yet, check it out.

Unfortunately, we live in a day and age when creators make music for the ear and not the mind, so it’s refreshing when you hear an artist say that he is committed to doing the opposite.
On his latest tune, Nuh Doubt – released today (September 15) via Big Feet Records – international recording artist Bugle has expressed his opposition to making music solely for hype, fame and/or money. Instead, he insist that the words that leave his mouth must be of substance, all while acknowledging that he is guided by the Most High, and as such, must be mindful of the messages he sends out into the world.
Nuh Doubt is a dulcet one drop reggae tune that was composed by music executive Josh Harris, who also played bass and keyboard on the track. Drums were added by Santa Davis, and It was mixed by engineer Tommi Tikkenen, and mastered by Rose Quartz Mastering.
Nuh Doubt can now be streamed and/or downloaded from iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer, Tidal, and all other digital music platforms.
