Veteran reggae artist Everton Blender is in rare form. The singer has released back to back new music in recent days, and by all accounts it seems as though he is gearing up to share more new content.
After dropping the visuals for his very declarative new song, Can’t Take My Space, Blender immediately followed up with the video for another new tune, Going Down. Can’t Take My Space appears to be directed at others in the industry who may be aspiring to the level of success already attained by Blender, but doing so in the wrong way.
If you have not yet seen the videos, click here to check out Can’t Take My Space and here for Going Down. Both songs can be downloaded from any music store where reggae is sold.
The Fugees‘ international tour is arguably the hottest ticket in both hip-hop and R&B right now. Lovers of the aforementioned genres were in a frenzy earlier in the week after learning that Lauryn Hill (aka L Boogie), Wyclef Jean and Pras have reunited for the 25th anniversary of their last studio album, The Score.
The Score, which was released via Columbia Records on February 13, 1996, was a commercial success. It peaked at the number-one spot on the Billboard 200 and became the third best selling album for that year. As such, the group decided to honor this significant project, its anniversary and the fans who appreciate the music by reuniting and performing the songs.

Approximately one week ago international recording artist Anthony B released the official video for his song Pretty Girls. Unfortunately, because the online space is now so crowded I fear that a lot of people are not aware of this stunning video in which Anthony delivers a strong performance.
Though he is known mostly for his reggae hits, Anthony B handled this dancehall riddim like a boss. If you have not yet seen the video, click here or on the image above to check it out and remember to like, comment and share.
