Richie Stephens’ “Street Gospel Riddim” Now Available On All Music Platforms

Posted on August 5, 2023 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

Singer, songwriter, producer and performer Richie Stephens is in high spirits following the release of his now widely praised Street Gospel Riddim. The six-track compilation went live on streaming platforms a few days ago – Friday, July 28th – and was accompanied by some stunning visuals.

All the artists on the EP: Da Flame, Beenie Man, Kevin Downswell, Bounty Killer, Nitty Kutchie, Buju Banton, Kukudoo, Sanchez, Busy Signal, and of course Richie Stephens, are present in the aforementioned clip. And because every track on the Street Gospel Riddim is a collaboration, accordingly, each set of artists appear together on their respective song.

The Street Gospel Riddim is a dancehall-gospel compilation, composed by Stephens, with a mix of both secular and gospel performers. Arguably, the most noticeable thing about this project is the unexpected combinations that are featured.

Posted on July 30, 2023 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

International reggae recording artist AJ Brown – who is also the current lead singer for the world re-known Third World Band – will be having a launch party for his new album, Shots of Love, on Sunday, August 6th, at Blue Martini in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Brown will be supported by fellow Jamaican vocalist Tamara B, who is also is wife, and Antigua & Barbuda’s reggae ambassador Causion.

Incidentally, Causion is also promoting his recently released EP, The Mission Is in Progress, shared in late June on his earth-day. He and his team are currently focusing on the record’s lead single, Thank You, which he’s very passionate about. Causion is sentimentally attached to this track because it was penned prior to his illness, but took on a whole new meaning once he was on the road to recovery.

The Mission is in Progress is available on iTunes, Apple Music, Deezer, Spotify, Tidal and all other streaming platforms.
