Fantan Mojah‘s highly anticipated single, Jah Movement, is now available on all streaming platforms. It went live on Friday, June 23rd via Big Feet Records, and was accompanied by its official lyric video.
Because the term ‘highly anticipated’ is often batted about even when speaking of things that are unpropitious, it must be known that there has been a real expectation for Jah Movement ever since snippets of it leaked approximately two weeks ago. The general feedback from everyone who’ve heard the record is that it’s as strong as, or even stronger than Fantan‘s biggest song to date, Rasta Got Soul.
Although Fantan Mojah sang his heart out and delivered an exceptional performance, credit must also go to Josh Harris, the executive producer and composer. As is the case with other releases from Big Feet Records, Josh played both bass and Keyboards, with Santa Davis on drums. It was then mixed by Tommi Tikkenen, before being mastered at Anchor Studios in Kingston.
Jah Movement is an inspirational, uplifting, feel-good reggae tune that should be on the playlist of every reggae lover. It can be downloaded from iTunes, Amazon, and all other digital music stores.

Recording artist Rad Dixon is a busy man! He kicked off the year with his debut album – Hard Times – and has since followed up with the re-release of his now trending single, Missing You.
The America based singer and his management team – Tasjay Productions – have no intention of slowing down, as they are currently working on a new reggae EP called Madda Boom Riddim. Scheduled for release at the end of August, it will feature Anthony B, Luciano, Horace Martin and of course Rad Dixon, and will be published on the Tasjay Productions imprint.
Dixon‘s hours in the studio have to be balanced with time spent in rehearsal, as he is also gearing up for several shows. On August 26th, he will be in his home town of Hatfield, Manchester (Jamaica) for an event, and then the following month – on September 4th – he will be in Toronto for Manchester Linkup. He is also confirmed for Deco Rose Party on the 12th of November, which is also in Toronto.
Born in Jamaica and based in Las Vegas, Nevada, twenty-year reggae veteran Ras Kronik is gearing up to release his third studio album, called The Energy. The title track, which was published in mid May via Pandemic Records, is also featured on the Passion Fruit Riddim, the label’s latest compilation.
The Energy (single) gives a clear indication of what Ras Kronik‘s fans can expect from the upcoming LP: a collection of songs – both reggae and dancehall – that addresses social issues, while dabbling in spirituality. This tune, as well as the forthcoming album, is filled with depth and fire.
Although Ras Kronik and the team at Pandemic Records were hoping to have the project out before the end of June, they are now acknowledging that there is a possibility that it may be delayed; pushing it back to July, 2023. In addition to the aforementioned track, the album will also have other previously released songs: Jah Jah Light, from the Logic Riddim, and Rough Out A Street.
When asked what’s the inspiration behind The Energy, Ras Kronik said the following: “the inspiration behind the Energy is simply natural. As the rising of the Love and Light energy flows within and I consciousness that’s how the song was born.”
