While Voicemail and DancehallRulerz were touring in Germany and Europe to promote their #GAMECHANGER EP, they listened a lot to the “Palmen aus Plastik” hit album by German hip-hop stars Raf Camora and Bonez MC. As a reaction, they recorded their Jamaican version of the song “Ohne mein Team” and released it as a free download with permission of the original rights owners.
Nuh Limit Family – the group many are comparing to international stars, Ward 21 – recently connected with Canadian hip-hop artist, UZMAN, on the single “Rolling High.” As the legalization and open use of marijuana is now an ongoing topic in Jamaica and North America, both camps decided to do a track centered around the subject of getting high but addressing it from their perspective. The song was produced, mixed and mastered by popular producer, Lamar ‘Cell’ Thompson, of Audio Traxx Studio, (located in Old Harbor, Jamaica, which is where the Nuh Limit Family is based).
Based on the buzz it is currently getting in the streets, “Rolling High” has already been added to rotation on credible Jamaican radio stations like Irie FM, Suncity and Reggae Radio JA. It can be streamed via the following link and DJs can send an email to (MJE) info@mjent.net for a promo copy: https://soundcloud.com/uzman/nuh-limit-family-ft-uzman-rolling-high-main
This is the 2nd collaboration by the Nuh Limit Family and UZMAN. They also did a well-received remix of Nuh Limit Family’s “shots in ma cup” in 2015. That record became somewhat of an anthem in both Old Harbor as well as parts of Toronto, where UZMAN is based. Additionally, as Nuh Limit Family has performed on Sting and other well established stage shows across the island, they invited UZMAN to perform with them at the Jamaica Jamboree in Tovoli Gardens in 2015. They received a positive response from the crowd so much so that it prompted the men to continue to work together.
Ward 21
“Shadow” is the second single from Ward 21’s “Power Surge” EP released last October. Built around the ever-fresh scorcher “Woman is like a shadow” by the Meditations, the Waterhouse trio is easily transforming this Reggae classic into a distinctive Ward 21 anthem. The single was produced by group member Kunley McCarthy for his newly installed Billionaire Bootcamp Records imprint.
Ward 21 was founded by Andre “Suku” Gray, Mark “Mean Dog” Henry, Kunley McCarthy, and Ranaldo “Rumblood” Evans – who left the group in 2008 – in the late 1990s and is one of the most successful acts of the dancehall genre. They have been named after the psychiatric ward at the University Hospital of the West Indies in Kingston. In the beginning, they were mentored by King Jammy, famous producer and sound system owner. Ever since then they have been successfully touring all over the world. Click here to listen to “Shadow.”
“Dollnald Trummp” is the Jamaican answer to the new president of the USA. Originally recorded and released in march 2016 when Donald Trump decided to run for president, this single is even more important today as he has won the election and is now governing.
Since his breakthrough hit “Hand Card Bwoy,” Perfect Giddimani released more than 700 singles and just released his 10th album called “Bamboo-M.” Over the years he has scored several number 1 tunes in Jamaica, Germany, Sweden, and France and done collaborations with Lauryn Hill, Anthony B, Sizzla Kalonji, Lutan Fyah and Jahdan Blakkamoore.
Soulfood melodies for the rebels and the message of equal rights and justice are always present in his songs and that is exactly what he gives in the single, “Dollnald Trummp.” Stream and/or Download via iTunes.
