The next single coming from U.S. based reggae imprint – Big Feet Records – is Nuh Doubt, an uplifting, positive roots tune performed by one of the few outstanding recording artists in the reggae-dancehall fraternity, Bugle. 

Many years ago when Bugle publicly transitioned into the Rastafarian faith he made it clear that he would be mindful of both his words and deeds; and being a man of integrity, he has done just that. He has carried himself with dignity and decency, all while releasing chart-topping music filled with inspirational messages.

His forthcoming track, Nuh Doubt, is confirmation of the preceding paragraph. On it he sings:

“mi know say Jah Jah have mi back mi naa have no doubt
if it no positive it naa come out a my mouth
mi neva do this fi no one naa look no clout
if it no positive it naa come out a my mouth”.

Nuh Doubt will be available on all music platforms on Friday, September 15th, 2023, and it comes to us courtesy of Big Feet Records. 

On his fifty second earth-day, September 8th, 2023, reggae legend Richie Spice celebrated by releasing a brand new album called Black Man Time. The fourteen-track project features collaborations with Capleton (These Are the Days); Louie Culture (Young Juvenile); and Charly Black (Searching For).

Presented on his own independent imprint, Richie Spice Music, the LP is Spice‘s tenth studio album. As for the lyrical content, the record is filled with the kind of substantive messages we’ve come to expect from the Jamaican singer-songwriter.

Nigerian vocalist Hassanah, who is currently based in the United States, is back with a brand new twelve-track reggae album titled The Real Thing. Produced by veteran music executive Danny Breakenridge – owner of Upstairs Music – the record features remixes of some of the most captivating love songs from the past, as well as eight original tunes, one of which is the stunning title track, The Real Thing.

Hassanah delivered each song with ease, passion, and comfort, as if all twelve were penned by her, and inspired by her personal experiences. Also, although a singer-songwriter in her own right, having done both studio and live backing vocals for some of reggae’s biggest acts over the years, her vocal depth is especially pronounced throughout the LP.

With the production mastery of Danny Breakenridge, Hassanah convincingly pays tribute to Marvin Gaye, Gladys Knight and The Pips (I Heard it Through The Grapevine); Gregory Isaacs (Front Door); Mariah Carey (We Belong Together); and Sade (By Your Side).

The album – The Real Thing – went live on iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer, and all other music platforms on August 11th, 2023 via Upstairs Music.
