Reggae-soul recording artist, Ruach Ru, is currently talking to her lawyer regarding bringing a lawsuit against IIFold Creative Studios, the company contracted to shoot and edit her video for the hit single Mr. Player Man.

According to the song writer, the company has defaulted in their agreement on many fronts: 1) they did not meet the agreed deadline of June 26^th for the release of the video; 2) IIFold Creative Studios is making copyright claims, which they are not entitled to, on Ruach Ru’s song; and finally, 3) they did not present the video they initially guaranteed (this is regarding the storyline).

When asked to issue an official statement for the media, a displeased Ruach Ru said:

“I’m really frustrated and disappointed with two fold creative studios. I really believe that they are a creative group and was willing to continue working with them even after they missed the deadline for the video release. However their sudden and unexpected copyright claims against the video is one which forces me to take the necessary steps to protect my music and product. My apologies to the fans again for the delay.”

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.
