VP Records is proud to announce that Multi-platinum GRAMMY® Award-winning artist Estelle will be releasing her fifth studio album, Lover’s Rock via VP Records and Established 1980 Inc this September.
In comparison to those of her formative years, Lover’s Rock is Estelle’s most personal album to date, as she centers in on her West Indian roots with a full-fledged reggae album. She has collaborated with esteemed Jamaican producer Supa Dups [Drake, Beenie Man], Reefa [Lil Wayne], Jerry Wonda [Wyclef Jean], Harmony Samuels [Jennifer Lopez, Ariana Grande] and more.
In the forthcoming LP, Estelle has assured to fuse her signature R&B and hip-hop sound while paying homage to her Grenadian roots as she not only concentrates in reggae, but also embraces Afro-beats and Soca music.
Jah Bouks has done it again! The roots Rasta artist has delivered another catching visual for his song Going Home. The new video is in many ways very similar to Angola; in that, Jah Bouks displays his frustration for life in the west. What makes Going Home captivating however, is that it shows Bouks actually in an African country. By the looks of it, the country seems to be São Tomé and Príncipe, which is located in central Africa.

D.Y.C.R. continues to chant tales of love, freedom and stories of relationship, in a humorous but realistic way on his third studio album, entitled Dub, Stories and Poetry.

Dub, Stories and Poetry is produced by Marvyn Williams and Mervyn Williams for Tad’s Records. It is now available for sale via iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and all other digital music platforms worldwide.
