Pandemic Records Shares New Single With Little Hero “Bad Man Round Here” (@Pandemicrecord1)

After the success of their last collaboration – World Right Now – veteran recording artist Little Hero and reggae-dancehall imprint Pandemic Records, have once again partnered on a new track titled Bad Man Round Here

The song was published on November 25th, and it serves as confirmation that brothers Sheldon and LeroyEdwards – owners of Pandemic Records – will be doing a full length studio album with the St. Ann singer. Hero said as much in a recent interview with The Star, one of Jamaica’s national newspapers: “Pandemic Records is like family to me, and I love working with them, so I’ve decided to record my next album for them. We’ve already begun working on the project. So far we’ve recorded some very good songs, it’s going to be an awesome album. It should be ready for release early next year.”

Little Hero is affectionately referred to as God man, this is because he has – since very early in his career – kept his lyrics and message positive, inspirational and God centered. Bad Man Round Here is no different. On this record he addresses Jamaica’s out-of-control rude-boy culture that’s resulted in an unbelievably high murder rate.

Bad Man Round Here is expected to follow in the footsteps of the song that recently held the #1 spot on Richie B’s Reggae Chart (World Right Now). It can be streamed and downloaded from iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music, and all other major music platforms.

New Music From Natural Black “Mission To Conquer” Now Available On All Streaming Platforms (@bigfeetrecords)

The Far From Reality singer, Natural Black, returns with a catchy new ska tune called Mission To Conquer. It was officially released earlier today – Friday, December 9th – via Big Feet Records.

Mission To Conquer has an interesting back-story. The song that is now available to the public is very different from the one penned and recorded by Natural Black in October. Significant changes were made by executive producer Josh Harris – who also played bass and keyboard on the track – and members of his production team: Santa Davis (drums), Jallanzo (lead guitar), Tommy Tikkanen (mixing engineer) and Earle Holder (mastering engineer). Sections were edited and some lines removed; not because there was an issue with what Natural wrote, but rather to make the overall song more euphonious.

Harris summed up his feelings about the final mix with six words: “I think it’s a hit song…!” While Natural Black, after hearing the changes, indicated his approval by uttering the Jamaican jargon commonly used for agreement: “respect.”

If you are into ska music you will love this tune, and if you’re not, this song will convert you. Stream and/or download it now from iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music and all other major music platforms.
