Costa Rican American singer-songwriter Stevie Malekuu has stepped on the international reggae stage! The emerging star, who lives in Florida, is signed to Jamaican music imprint My MM Productions – a label owned and operated by Florida based Jamaican Orville Marshall.
Malekuu‘s name began circulating in and around the reggae industry at the beginning of the year when he shared Don’t Trust Dem; his initial release with the aforementioned label. Despite the fact that the song is solid, it is only now – with the publishing of his most recent tune, What Will Be (released on July 14) – that he is starting to get an attentive audience.
Regarding the inspiration behind the record, Stevie Malekuu explains: “we wrote the song under the influence of today’s fast pace and rapidly changing world. Everyone is panicking as the unknown looms larger than ever but despite what is happening around us each of us have to take a stand to accept what we know to be true. We need to accept the many things that will surely be and focus on the positive things in life that we can control.”
Persons that contributed to the production process are: Stevie Malekuu, Roxwell “Rocky” Smith, Ritchie Mair, Wayne Armond and Orville Marshall.

Jimmy Cliff Preps For Album Release & Shares Lead Single “Refugees” (@jimmycliff)
At the end of July, Jimmy Cliff shared the lead single from his upcoming album, Refugees. The song – with the same title – is done in collaboration with American rapper/singer Wyclef Jean. Both men effectively represented their respective genres on the dance version of the tune.
A day before it went live Jimmy Cliff issued the following statement about Refugees: “Refugees is not just a song, but a movement. As a humanitarian, I wrote the song due to emotional feelings towards freedom taken away from human beings. None of us should be forced by violence, economics, war or persecution to leave our country against our will.”
Refugees, the single, is now available on all music platforms; while the full album will be released on August 12th.

The Hempolics Collaborates With Macka B On New Single “One Law Fi Dem”
The Hempolics gear up for their forthcoming album with the release of single ‘One Law Fi Dem’, a team-up with soundsystem veteran Macka B. The collaboration captures a tale of the time, indeed a tale of the ages, as Macka B spits “One law fi dem, One law fi you, Do as I say but no do as I do”.
The Hempolics have reworked and updated the riddim of their debut release ‘Serious’, much loved by Massive Attack, and combined it with Macka B’s lyrical greatness to create a monster for the masses. It’s not just the story of the UK right now – but the world over.
