New Music Video from Junior Kelly “Everything”

Junior Kelly has returned with a captivating visual for his powerful single, “Everything,” released in 2021. The veteran reggae artist uses the track to deliver a heartfelt message that cuts through the noise of vanity and materialism, reminding listeners to focus on what truly matters. With humility at its core, the song acknowledges that he owes God “everything,” a theme that resonates with Kelly’s reputation for crafting music grounded in substance and truth.

The single was produced by Josh Harris of Big Feet Records, a label known for collaborating with artists who bring depth and authenticity to the reggae landscape. Harris’ production provides a steady yet soulful backdrop that allows Kelly’s vocal delivery and lyrical intent to shine without distraction. The partnership highlights a balance between traditional reggae elements and a polished modern finish.

The official music video premiered on Reggaeville’s platform on August 15, 2025. Directed by Kevin Campbell, the visual shows Kelly among the youths, singing and reasoning with them in a relaxed, communal setting. The simplicity of the video mirrors the song’s message, stripping away extravagance in favor of genuine connection.

Dead Prez Announce 25th Anniversary European Tour for Let’s Get Free

This fall, revolutionary hip-hop duo Dead Prez will hit the road to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their landmark debut album, “Let’s Get Free.” Originally released on February 8, 2000, through Loud Records, the LP remains one of hip-hop’s most politically charged and influential projects.

Mostly self-produced, with contributions from Lord Jamar of Brand Nubian, Hedrush, and a young Kanye West, “Let’s Get Free” combined hard-hitting beats with sharp critiques of systemic oppression, police brutality, and racial inequality. Its tracks—like “Hip-Hop” and “I’m a African”—cemented Dead Prez as uncompromising voices of resistance within the culture.
