Causion Confirmed For AJ Brown’s Album Launch In Florida

International reggae recording artist AJ Brown – who is also the current lead singer for the world re-known Third World Band – will be having a launch party for his new album, Shots of Love, on Sunday, August 6th, at Blue Martini in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Brown will be supported by fellow Jamaican vocalist Tamara B, who is also is wife, and Antigua & Barbuda’s reggae ambassador Causion

Incidentally, Causion is also promoting his recently released EP, The Mission Is in Progress, shared in late June on his earth-day. He and his team are currently focusing on the record’s lead single, Thank You, which he’s very passionate about. Causion is sentimentally attached to this track because it was penned prior to his illness, but took on a whole new meaning once he was on the road to recovery. 

The Mission is in Progress is available on iTunes, Apple Music, Deezer, Spotify, Tidal and all other streaming platforms.

Up-And-Coming Dancehall Artists Deliver On The ‘Confine Riddim’ (@Pandemicrecord1)

Confine Riddim is the latest rhythm-driven project from Pandemic Records & Entertainment LLC. It’s a mellow dancehall juggling with eight tracks, each shared individually as a stand alone single, as opposed to being a part of an EP or compilation. 

Although they’re usually working with some of Jamaica’s biggest music stars: Little Hero, Chronic Law, Sizzla, and Capleton – to name a few – the team at Pandemic opted to feature only emerging talents on the Confine Riddim. To that end, they tapped: Frass Khalifa, Jah Lama, Jahn’ll, Mr Banging, iBlack Lion, Shac, Shayy Soprano, Vehnom and Xip Boss

Each performer delivered mightily on their respective song, leading selectors who’ve gotten the tracks to give the overall project an elevated rating. What’s more, the artists covered various topics in their lyrics, making Confine Riddim attractive to a wide audience. 

Four of the eight songs have already gotten visuals: Shac – Heart of MineXip Boss – Money MentalityJah Lama – Pouring Rain; and Vehnom – Thank You. The videos can be viewed on the artists respective YouTube channels or via Pandemic Records‘ YouTube
