Although Tarrus Riley has been busy releasing a lot of dancehall records of late, it is his new reggae single, “Be Great,” done on the “21 Greatness Riddim,” that is garnering all the attention! It seems many of his fans prefer the positive reggae vibe he delivered on this track. The “21 Greatness Riddim,” which also features legendary saxophonist Dean Fraser, is produced by The Notorious KOOL G for his label Innovation Muzik; an imprint he co-owns with Selector Matches.
The official video for “Be Great” premiered on YouTube this past Friday, March 12th. It tells the story of a young Jamaican boy whose only aspiration is to become a track and field star like Usain Bolt. It goes on to show him admiring pictures of his heroes as he trains daily, while getting support from his struggling mother. These images are complimented by clips of Tarrus Riley singing “Be Great.”
While there is huge anticipation for the release of the “21 Greatness Riddim,”Tarrus Riley‘s single continues to pick up steam in the United States, England, Jamaica and the rest of the world. Its momentum is especially growing in the UK where it is now getting steady rotation on both commercial and digital radio. That being said, many who have heard “Be Great” are now eager to hear what Queen Ifrica, Luciano, Nature Ellis, Gott-Yo and all the other artists tapped for the project will do on it.

A few days ago, Teflon, also known as the Young King, shared the official video for his track “Brimstone.” The song is featured on his just released studio album, “Years A Pain.”
We wanted to highlight this video not because of the visuals, but because of the song’s lyrical content. Anyone who subscribes to Maria Jackson Magazine should know by now that we are very disgusted with the commercialization of urban and Caribbean music, especially dancehall. And Teflon, in his song “Brimstone,” seems to be just as fed up as we are.
On the record he addresses things like artists selling out for travel visa; radio stations collecting money for airplay and so much more. Click here or on the image above to watch the video. Please pay close attention to the overall message and remember to like, comment and share.
