Due to some unexpected medical emergency, New York based recording artist E.G. had to step away from music for a while. The artist underwent a minor surgery in the summer and was unable to properly perform in the studio or on stage. Hence, he couldn’t create new tracks or take bookings.

Fortunately, he has since recuperated and is now back in the booth working on some new music to be released in 2020. He is currently working with producers Mark Walcott, Ian ‘Fojo’ Corbin and Jkeez Records on a number of fresh sounding songs.

The first single that will be published in the new year is a soca record titled “Tek Time,” which will be on the new “Rum N Bar-Be-Cue Riddim.“
