A few days ago Breaking Expectations and J-Rod Records released a powerful dancehall single titled “Mother Nature.” The song, which is a collaborative effort, is performed by both Julian Marley and Junior Reid.
“Mother Nature” is a social commentary record that highlights the way in which human beings are out of balance with nature, choosing to focus on money and power as oppose to life and health. Click here to stream and download the track from your preferred platform.
Earlier in the year Jamaican born / American based reggae artist, Eurtis Purple, released his debut album “Day By Day.” The project has 12 tracks, each arranged and produced by the talented guitarist, singer and songwriter. A few of the standout songs worth mentioning are: the powerful, but laid back title track “Day By Day,” as well as covers of Marvin Gaye‘s “What’s Going On” and “Crystal Blue Persuasion,” originally done by Tommy James and The Shondells.
The title track was inspired by the incalculable violence and wars going on around the globe; Eurtis Purple felt he had to use his talent to shine additional light on the situation. An official video, directed by Malees Films, was also created for this single.
The full album and all related projects are exclusive to Eurtis Purple‘s own record label and publishing house, Purple Muzic Productions.

A few days ago we announced that roots artist Bushman would be delivering a special Father’s Day performance with the support of the Riddim 2000 Band.
Regretfully, we are now learning that the event is cancelled; and the reason for the cancellation is that Bushman is apparently sick and is unable to work.
