UK based reggae artist, IfaTunde Orunmila, received a major endorsement to start the new year. The world immortal Stone Love Sound has thrown their full weight behind his album “Melanin,” showing support for it both privately and publicly. Stone Love rotated several songs from the project at one of their recent Weddy Weddy session and has since gone on to add specific tracks to their regular rotation.
A humbled but appreciative IfaTunde Orunmila says he is pleased with the support, and hopes that other popular selectors and Sound Systems will do the same.
IfaTunde is also getting ready to release a new single with popular musician / singer / producer, Skatta. For those not familiar with Skatta; his birth name is Trevor Bonnick and he is the lead singer for the Grammy nominated reggae group Inner Circle.
