Late last year Guyanese dancehall recording artist E.G. – who is now based in New York – released “Caan Trust Dem.” The hardcore street record warns of persons posing as friends, while simultaneously hoping for your demise. 

Not a hundred percent pleased with the initial mix of the track, E.G. recently went back in the booth at Heatbox Studio 56 in Brooklyn, added some additional vocals and worked tirelessly with engineer Yung Cassius to create a new sound. 

The updated mix was shared on Tuesday, February 16th.

On Friday, February 26th, Jackson Town recording artist, Lion Face Italawah, shot the official video for his song “Survivor.” The track, which is featured on the Mountain Top Riddim (produced by Haile Cush Records), has become somewhat of an anthem in and around the Jackson Town community (located in Kingston, Jamaica).

“Survivor” applauds persons who have managed to overcome poverty, especially through hard work. 

In keeping with the message in the song, the visuals – directed by Maria Jackson – will show several inner-city youths who are committed to diligently changing their lives. It is currently being edited and will be ready for release by mid March.
