In July of this year, Marlon Folkes, the CEO and owner of Reggae Vibes Music, announced that their latest release at the time – Jamaica Holiday, which is performed by Turbulence – has inspired a movie.
The one hour and twenty-six minutes film, which has just been uploaded to YouTube, was written and directed by Richard Brown and Glenroy Dodd; with production credits going to both Richard Brown Films and Jammiwood.
When asked to give a quick synopsis regarding the movie, Folkes said it’s about “a character with life challenges who decide to travel the country to clear his head. The journey shows [the] good and bad of Jamaica, [but] mostly good and how the bad turns into good.”
It goes without saying that reggae recording artist Turbulence is one of the stars; but in order to find out what role he plays persons will have to watch the entire film for themself.
Jamaica Holiday, the movie, was to be released in August but it was delayed because of the ongoing lockdowns caused by the covid-19 pandemic. Now that it is out, we are encouraging everyone to not only watch the movie but also download the song that inspired it.

This week, emerging afro-gospel fusion artist JVS is dropping his new single titled Out The Low. The hip-hop record, which is the lead single for his upcoming EP scheduled for release in January 2022, is centered around God’s grace and compassion.
Out The Low was inspired by a number of profound bible texts that resonated with JVS at the time of writing: 1 John 1:9, John 3:16, John 4:16, Isaiah 1:16-18, Matthew 5:16 and Isaiah 61:10 (all from the King James Version). It will be available on all music platforms as of November 18th, 2021.
Following the release of their first ever EP, She’s Bad, brothers Shawn and Shane Stephens, who are publicly known as 2 Of A Kind, are now back in the studio working on new material.
In one of their earlier interviews, Shawn said: “the more positive words that go out in the world, the beast won’t have the strength to maintain the stronghold that him have on the people.” And with that mindset the duo are back to creating what they describe as music filled with love strong enough to devour the beast.
Having recently returned to the music industry after a very long hiatus, they are now showing their commitment to remaining consistent by working on new songs that they intend on sharing in 2022. In the meantime, they’re encouraging their fans and supporters to stream and download the She’s Bad EP.
