I Grade Records is a premier conscious music label from the US Virgin Islands. The label’s mission is to produce the highest quality roots reggae music emanating from St. Croix and the US Virgin Islands.

The latest release with Jamaican modern roots veteran, Lutan Fyah; “Music Never Dies” is Lutan Fyah’s 16th album to date and his first with I Grade Records. Four years in the making, Music Never Dies reflects the evolution of both artist and producers. Working with Tippy of Zion I Kings and I Grade Records, Lutan Fyan brings a mature and unique melodic and lyrical approach to this new album that is as heavy as it is musical.

The album was recorded in both Jamaica and St Croix, using live musicians. The album features guest appearances by Vaughn Benjamin the Akae Beka (of Midnite band).

Franklin Fernando, more popularly known as RastaMils, has just released the official video for his single, “Bluffing,” which was produced by Bobby Digital of Digital B Records.

Though RastaMils is based in Winnipeg, Canada, he reached out to Bobby Digital, initially wanting him to hear some of his music, but after hearing him, Bobby decided to take it a step further by producing a track for him. The result is this amazing record, “Bluffing.”

Both the song and the video has a theme of the unfortunate reality of jealousy within the music industry, predominantly amongst artists. It was shot in part at Digital B Records – Bobby Digital’s studio – in Kingston, Jamaica, and it features several well-known music professionals.

The video was directed and edited by Maria Jackson Entertainment. Persons may watch it here and DJs are encouraged to contact MJE for the mp3.
