Jamaican reggae artists Jah9 and Yaadcore have joined forces with New York based dub music ambassador Subatomic Sound System for a bass-heavy, 21st-century re-imagining of John Holt’s hit song “Police in Helicopter.”
The track, which comes to us courtesy of Yard Birdz Records, is out now on all digital music platforms.
It is with a heavy heart that we have to report that DMX has passed away after suffering from a cardiac arrest last week. He had been on life support at the White Plains Hospital in New York, which is where he died on Friday, April 9th.
At the end of March Psalmist Chevelle Franklyn delivered a powerful performance, albeit virtually, at one of the most prolific megachurches in the United States, The Potter’s House (pastored by world-renowned Christian leader Bishop TD Jakes, Snr.).
No stranger to the global stage, this is the first time a Caribbean act has ministered on a platform of this scale to such a diverse online audience. It has been reported that the church has approximately 30,000 members; and following the Covid-19 global pandemic, millions more now viewing online.
Recently, in speaking of Franklyn, Bishop Jakes said the following: “Clearly, there is a special anointing on this woman! Her vocal ability is a weapon against the enemy! The world, especially at this time, must sing aloud ‘Go In Your Strength.”
Be on the lookout for Chevelle Franklyn‘s upcoming project, “South Wind Vol 1,” which has been rescheduled for release later this year.

In mid March, African gospel artist Ada Ehi released an enchanting single titled “Everything” via the Freenation Inc. imprint. She is now following up the audio release with the official music video, which was uploaded to her YouTube channel earlier this week.

International recording artist Sizzla Kalonji seems to be taking issue with the current covid-19 protocols in Jamaica. A few days ago he posted a screen shot of a Google search, which outlines the list of human rights in Jamaica, along with the hashtags #blackpeople #freedom.
According to the Google search, the list of human rights are as follows: “These include right to life; the right to personal liberty; freedom of movement; freedom from inhuman treatment; enjoyment of property; freedom of conscience; freedom of association; respect for private and family life; and freedom from discrimination.”
One can only assume that he has made this post to show his followers that their freedoms are being trampled on.
