Asante Amen was born to sing and spread messages that lift up the soul and mind. His main musical influences are Garnet Silk, Tupac Shakur, Dennis Brown and a slew of R&B singers. He has collaborated with acts such as Lutan Fyah, Ras Tewelde, Leaf of Life, Dean Fraser and that is just to name a few. He has also shared the stage with artists such as Fred Locks, Luciano, Ken Boothe, Beenie Man, Tarrus Riley, Kabaka Pyramid and many others. He has performed in many venues around the world, but there are so many places that he has yet to set his feet on, and looks forward to doing so.

On Wednesday, February 27th, Asante Amen will be performing a full set at Ruach Ru’s PON DI ENDZ. The event will take place at Kgn10 Sports Bar & Grill – located at 1a Hillview Avenue (off Eastwood Park Road) – in Kingston, Jamaica. Admission is free before 10 PM, $500 JMD after.

on Sunday, February 10th, international reggae star Ky-Mani Marley took to social media to explain to his fans and supporters in Maui, Hawaii why he missed his show, which was scheduled there on the same day.

A visibly angry Ky-Mani did not hold back as he explained that he was misled by his agent, Victor E. Lewis, who told him that they were not paid by the promoter, when in fact they were. Both men were sitting side by side as they speak on the issue.

As the acoustic collective Inna de Yard gets ready to release their new album in a few weeks, they are sharing with us the visuals for one of the records from that project. The song is “Row Fisherman,” and the images captured in the video shows Cedric Myton (the singer) acting out the lifestyle of a fisherman in Old Harbor Bay, Jamaica.

The song is soft and easy, and as we’ve come to expect from Inna de Yard, it relaxes you. The video, for its part, completely compliments the music.
