Donskii Goes “Fully Don” On New EP

Every once in a while an artist comes along with such raw talent that his or her path to success seems almost assured. Such is the case with eighteen-year-old Ghanaian sing-jay Donskii. The half Jamaican (Ghanaian mother, Jamaican father) was introduced to the world outside of Ghana only a few weeks ago, when Wonder 4 Music – the imprint to which he is signed – shared his first official single, Sweet Africa. The track received great reviews and left selectors asking for a follow up. In late July, they got it!

On July 24th Wonder 4 Music released Donskii‘s four-track EP, Fully Don. The record is a mix of dancehall and Afro-rhythms, and is flawless in both style and delivery. Most importantly, it gives listeners further insight into the thinking of the emerging lyricist, and draws attention to his level of commitment to the creative process.

Fully Don bridges the gap between Afro-dancehall and dancehall music from Jamaica, and it is being presented by a man that is quite capable of doing just that. The EP is available on Apple Music, Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, Deezer, Tidal and all other streaming platforms.

Richie Stephens’ “Street Gospel Riddim” Now Available On All Music Platforms

Singer, songwriter, producer and performer Richie Stephens is in high spirits following the release of his now widely praised Street Gospel Riddim. The six-track compilation went live on streaming platforms a few days ago – Friday, July 28th – and was accompanied by some stunning visuals.

All the artists on the EP: Da Flame, Beenie Man, Kevin Downswell, Bounty Killer, Nitty Kutchie, Buju Banton, Kukudoo, Sanchez, Busy Signal, and of course Richie Stephens, are present in the aforementioned clip. And because every track on the Street Gospel Riddim is a collaboration, accordingly, each set of artists appear together on their respective song.

The Street Gospel Riddim is a dancehall-gospel compilation, composed by Stephens, with a mix of both secular and gospel performers. Arguably, the most noticeable thing about this project is the unexpected combinations that are featured.
