The official video for “Did It Again,” the engaging dancehall track by rising artists Tenshon and Wiseman, has been released. The visuals were captured in St. Ann, Jamaica, last year.

“Did It Again” is part of the “Blood Sacrifice Riddim,” produced by Karamanti for Blakkwuman22 Music. The compilation also features contributions from artists such as Turbulence, Yahdeen Essence, HigherTrod, and Karamanti herself.

The rhythm for the “Blood Sacrifice Riddim” was composed by Arioso Legato, with additional instrumentation provided by Lamar Thompson, who incorporated the electric piano, mute guitar strum, and lead guitar. All tracks were mixed and mastered by AudioTraxx Productions, and the compilation is distributed by Blakkwuman22 Music.

The “Blood Sacrifice Riddim” is available for download on Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer, Bandcamp, Amazon Music, and all other major streaming platforms, and the official video for “Did it Again” can be viewed on Blakkwuman22 Music‘s official YouTube channel.

The forthcoming 90’s Joyride dance and live show will be all about the best music and fashion trends from that era. As such, the January 25th staging, which will be held at Pier 1 in Montego Bay, is being subtitled the Mesh Marina Edition. That said, the promoters fittingly booked veteran dancehall artist Capleton to perform. 

In the late 1980s, when Capleton arrived on the music scene, he had a slew of hit songs: “Bumbo Red,” “Number One on the Look Good Chart,” “No Lotion Man,” etc. Capleton‘s conversion to Rastafari in the early 1990s led to a change in his lyrics, which resulted in some of his biggest songs: “Alms House,” “Music is a Mission,” “Tour,” etc.
