On his latest release titled Crazy World, roots-reggae artist Richie Spice laments on the high levels of insanity that has seemingly been normalized worldwide. In just about three minutes and twenty-two seconds, he touches on everything from pollution to the ongoing wars happening in various countries.

The official video, which accompanied the mp3, effectively highlights the song’s message. If you have not yet seen it, click here or on the image above to check it out, and remember to like, comment and share.

Mikey, the indisputable General of reggae music, has partnered with Mountain Peak Records for his latest single. Titled Ain’t No Sunshine, the song is his rendition of Bill Withers‘ 1971 megahit with the same name. Mikey General‘s Ain’t No Sunshine was released on April 8th, 2024, and it serves as the introductory track to his forthcoming studio album. 

The song surprised a lot of his fans and supporters because they’ve gotten accustomed to the Rastafarian 1) penning and performing his own songs, and 2) singing about social issues and spirituality. That said, Mikey’s long-time friend and owner of Mountain Peak Records, Anthony Cargill, has been urging him to venture outside the box for some time, and now that he has done it, the move is paying off. Ain’t No Sunshine is being received with delight and enjoyment by both lovers of reggae and lovers of soul.

It can be streamed and/or downloaded from all digital music platforms.

The organizers of the highly anticipated Jamaica Reggae Party and Domino Tournament have selected a local charity to be the recipient of part of the proceeds from the event.

After careful research and consideration, Marlon Folkes – the CEO and owner of Reggae Vibes Music and Reggae Vibes Promotions, the latter of which is the agency responsible for the Jamaica Reggae Party – decided to go with Mary Gate of Heaven Church’s outreach programs because of the outstanding work they’ve been doing for children and young adults in and around Negril for more than ten years. 

The charity has three components:

1) St. Anthony’s Kitchen, which started as a soup kitchen, and now serves breakfast to 60 children, and lunch to 150 kids on a daily basis.

2) Get Kids to School Program (GKSP). In addition to providing food for St. Anthony’s Kitchen, this program also transports approximately 160 students to and from Mount Airy Primary & Infant School. Furthermore, they support the students by providing uniforms and school supplies as needed.

3) Get Kids to School Plus is a more advanced version of the aforementioned. Here they assist some students in tertiary programs such as Heart Certification, University, and Junior College.

The Jamaica Reggae Party & Domino Tournament is set for Saturday, April 20th, at Drifters Bar (1 Mile, Fishermans Beach) in Negril, Jamaica. The domino tournament will start at 2:00 p.m. followed by the main event at 4:00 p.m. There will be performances by Turbulence, Bescenta, Fiyaneer, Dameon Gayle, and Luddy Samms, with support from JNR International. Patrons will also be able to purchase exclusive merchandise from reggaevibeswear.com on-location, and participate in a raffle to lend their support to the charity.

Admission is US$20 or JMD$3,000. That said, persons based in Kingston can take advantage of a special package that includes a round trip (by bus) to and from the event for only $8,000 JMD, provided they register before April 13th.
