Described as Protoje’s most experimental album yet, A Matter Of Time channels an array of styles and sounds from reggae, dancehall, dub, hip hop and rock into a cohesive 10 track LP. All songs were produced by Winta James, and recorded at the legendary Marley-owned Tuff Gong Studios in Kingston. It maintains the essence of Jamaican roots music, while pushing the envelope.
Links to stream and download the album are available via Protoje’s website.

Earlier this year, roots reggae artist Likkle Lightning, who is based in the United States, recorded and released a collaboration with established reggae artist Turbulence. The song is a remix of his single “Early Morning Flash,” which is featured on his album, Conditions of Life.
Since its release, “Early Morning Flash (Remix)” has been getting good support from both radio and club DJs. That being said, Likkle Lightning is now on the island and is making himself available for interviews and shows, all in an effort to shed more light on the record.
Persons wanting to work with, or interview Likkle Lightning while he is in Jamaica, are being asked to contact Maria Jackson via email info@mjent.net.

For the past few years recording artiste Nesbeth has lived a life filled with physical and spiritual trials and triumphs, but through it all, what has become evident is the strength of his mental resolve and a noticeable growth in his music.
Nowhere, is that better showcased than in his latest offering titled ‘Remove My Enemy,‘ the first single from his upcoming album A.M.E.N. The song alludes to Nesbeth asking the Almighty to eliminate the foes from his life but in an ironic twist, he notices the sudden disappearance of many of his close relatives and friends.
“I ask God to remove my enemies and close friends start to fall. Anuh every family a relative can’t trust nobody at all. Some of the worst fight weh me ever get a from the same people who benefit, from every hard work, every sweat.” – excerpt from Nesbeth’s ‘Remove My Enemy‘
