On Saturday, December 17, the highly anticipated Ice On Fire Festival will take place at Turtle River Park in Ocho Rios, St. Ann (Jamaica). This is being billed as the Caribbean’s ultimate food inclusive music affair.

By all accounts, the Ice On Fire Fest is seen as a secular event with dancehall artist Jah Vinci booked as the headlining act. However, the organizers have also added gospel performer Jai Kingston to the lineup. Kingston, who has been ordained as a Music Minister and Director in the Emmanuel Gospel Hall Church, is also known for his involvement in several outreach programs and charities.

The Ice On Fire Festival will begin at 1pm and is expected to go on until 2am the following day. Early bird tickets are now going for $4,000 JMD ($30 USD).

Famed producer 9th Wonder is back with Zion VII. He dropped the predominantly instrumental hip-hop album on Friday, November 4th via his very own Jamla Records. I say predominantly because the first seven tracks are regular songs with vocals by Swank & King Draft.

In addition to Swank & King Draft, the project also features The Jack Moves, Jalisa and Datsunn. As we’ve come to expect from 9th Wonder, he delivered an exceptional body of work; something that all true hip-hop lovers will appreciate. Download Zion VII here.

All lights are flashing green for reggae’s soul man Ginjah and the imprint that has been powering his recent releases: Tad’s Record Inc.

Approximately one month ago they shared Fall In Love, a melodious, adoring tune that immediately took off, and is now dominating reggae airwaves. As soon as it was released it landed on the iTunes Reggae Charts in the United Kingdom; and it has just entered South Florida’s Top 25 Reggae Chart. Once they realized that they’re sitting on a hit, Ginjah, the team at Tad’s Record and the song’s producer, Tomique Williams (from Berta Records), fast-tracked the production of the official video.

That said, the visuals for Fall In Love, which were directed, shot and edited by Kenny Gray and his crew, were released a few days ago. It is worth noting that Kenny Gray is also credited for These Arms‘ video, another captivating track shared by Ginjah and Tad’s Record Inc.
