Listen & Download New EP From 2 Of A Kind “She’s Bad”

Posted on October 16, 2021 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

Reggae duo, brothers: Shane and Shawn – publicly known as 2 Of A Kind – have released an EP titled She’s Bad. The men, who have been active in the industry since 2004, stepped away from the music scene in 2014 to attend medical school. While there, they studied respiratory therapy and have since received their license allowing them to work therapeutically with people suffering from acute critical conditions, cardiac and pulmonary disease.

Despite their many achievements outside of music, 2 Of A Kind‘s sincere love for authentic reggae acted as the catalyst for them returning. Additionally, they became concern about being away from the public’s eye for too long. That said, the brothers spent the last two years in and out of studios in South Florida working on the songs featured on this new EP.

The tracks on She’s Bad are all about their desire and admiration for women, with the exception of Kudos Mama – track one – which is about their love, respect and appreciation for one very special lady; their mother. Persons that have contributed to the project are: Hugene Grey (lead guitar), Fiona (harmony singer), Ipaul (beats, basslines and audio engineer), Clive Bull (production), Danny Breakenridge (production) and 2 Of A Kind, who also produced three of the songs.

She’s Bad was officially released on June 4, 2021, via Kindem Music, 2 Of A Kind‘s own record label. According to the brothers, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive with many people highlighting the title track as their favorite.

Jah Cure Releases The Lyric Video For “You Can’t See My Soul” (@ReggaeVibesMus1)

Posted on October 13, 2021 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

In the midst of his current trial – no pun intended – and tribulation, Jah Cure is now sharing the lyric video for his song featured on the recently released Rock All Riddim. The tune is titled You Can’t See My Soul, and after carefully listening to the words the consensus among several of his fans and supporters is that he seems to be struggling with a lot of demons.

The Rock All Riddim, which is produced by Reggae Vibes Music, was released at the end of August. This means that Jah Cure‘s song would have been written and recorded long before that date, giving the production team sufficient time to mix and master it. However, the lyrics in the song gives the impression that it was authored after his arrest in the Netherlands.

For those not familiar with the story; the beloved reggae singer is currently facing charges on the primary suspicion of attempted murder, as well as attempted manslaughter and aggravated assault after an altercation with a promoter in Amsterdam at the beginning of October.

However, “Let he without sin cast the first stone.” These are words uttered by Jah Cure in You Can’t See My Soul.

With the lyric video now out on YouTube it is becoming apparent that despite his difficult upbringing Jah Cure has been trying – challenging as it maybe – to become a better man. Our only hope is that his arrest in Europe does not deter that.

George Nooks’ Bio (@Tadsrecord)

Posted on October 13, 2021 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

From day one singer George Nooks has proven that when it comes on to his talent, he is multifaceted. It started in the early years of his career when he managed to score hits under two different names.

Most artistes find it difficult enough to make that connection under one moniker, but for George Nooks he pulled it off with his birth name and under his moniker Prince Mohammed – with songs such as Forty Legs, Bubbling and the very popular JC Lodge combination Someone Loves You Honey.

Fast forward to the 2000 and Nooks has once again shown that he cannot be boxed in where his talent is concerned. After chalking up one hit after another with his smooth voice delivering perennial favorites such as Left With A Broken Heart, Hero, Since I Fell For You, Riding For A Fall and the Chilites cover Homely Girl, Nooks turned his attention to gospel and the connection was instant!

Fast forward to 2021 and the impressive trail he has made since he stamped his mark with God Is Standing By to gospel classic covers including Ride Out Your Storm, I Must Tell Jesus, God Is Always There For Me and so many others which sees him being a top request for church as well as secular events.

How does he do it?

It’s all about love is what the artist will tell you as he says love for his mother and grandmother saw him honoring her last request that he sings the songs of Zion. His only regret is that she never lived to listen the first track he did for her, but in his heart he believes she knows.

Whether gospel or the feel good love songs for his many fans, George Nooks who got his first break in 1974 as a deejay on Discomix recording the covers of an artiste he held in high regard and admiration Dennis Brown’s Money In My Pocket and How Could I Leave.

Nooks has over the years since he first broke out on the scene continued recording albums such as Today and other singles.

As 2021 winds down Nooks has shown that there is no slowing down where his career is concerned. COVID-19 pandemic might have put a dent in live shows and slowed down the entertainment sector a bit, but when it comes on to getting a positive voice out there…there is no slowing down.

His latest album on the TAD’S imprint has shown that – Through It All – is an album for the times with tracks such as You Are God, He’ll Do It Again, Where Do I Go and God of the Mountain.

Commenting on the album, Nooks said it speaks to his life, the times and just to anyone who is looking for hope and encouragement.

Reggae Artist Mr. D Gets “A Vision”

Posted on October 12, 2021 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

Jamaican reggae singer Mr. D, who is now based in Atlanta, Georgia, has just released a new single titled A Vision. The track, which has an early 80s dancehall vibe, details an actual intuitive insight he received one day after reading the Bible (something that is a part of his daily routine).

Because of the strong religious language used throughout the tune, Mr. D – in a recent interview – was asked about his Faith; he simply stated that he is not a member of any religion or way of life, but that he is a vigorous believer in God Almighty.

The positive messages outlined on the record, combined with the laid back way in-which the rhythm was done, makes A Vision an ideal song to listen to while relaxing and / or meditating. It was produced by Douglas McLeary and executive produced by Donald Carr. All the creative work was done in Mr. D‘s Symbolic Fresh Music studio in the Atlanta area.

After staying in the background for years as a song writer for artists like The Silvertones and The Magnificents, Mr. D is now forging ahead with his own career. A Vision, which is now available on all music platforms, will be featured on his upcoming album.

George Nooks’ New Album “Through It All” Is Out Now! (@Tadsrecord)

Posted on October 7, 2021 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

Through it All … If ever there was a time when such words were on point it is now. Through the challenges of the pandemic and other testing events our anchor in God has brought us through. George Nooks’ new album Through It All is a timely gem to musically quell our weary hearts and souls. Nooks is known for choosing some classic songs and presenting them in a manner that gives listeners a soothing feel and transcendent lyrics to rock and mediate on.

George Nooks has always enjoyed hearing joyful noises to the Lord. Since he was a boy going to the Mount Carmel Apostolic Church in his hometown of King Weston in rural Jamaica.

The singer, who has made a name belting out gospel songs like God is Standing By and Ride Out Your Storm, continues his inspirational journey with Through it All, his latest album which is being distributed by Tad’s Record Inc. It contains 13 songs including the title track as well as gospel standards such as Amazing Grace, I Surrender All and a spiritual interpretation of The Stylistics‘ You Make Me Feel Brand New.

“From I was little I listened to some of these songs in church. My grandmother was the mother of the church and I used to be there with her all the time,”Nooks recalled.
Though his initial hit songs like Tribal War and Fortyleg Dread made him a dancehall star in the late 1970s, Nooks erupted in 2000 with God is Standing By, a foot-stomping reggae cover of a soul song originally done by Al Green in the early 1970’s.

Nooks has released a series of gospel hits since then. And even though he periodically dabbles in secular music, he says it is important to keep things clean. “I don’t do derogatory songs. I never did any song I couldn’t go into the church and sing.”

Through it All is exclusively produced by George Nooks for Tad’s Record Inc. It is available worldwide.

We have come to expect nothing less of George Nooks and yet again he has surpassed our expectations with this remarkable album. This album is dedicated to all persons yearning for spiritual upliftment.
