DJ Treasure Music & TasJay Productions Reshare Rad Dixon’s “Missing You” (@rad_dixon @TasJayProd @DJTreasureMusic)

Posted on May 11, 2023 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

In early 2022 DJ Treasure, the mixtape emperor, released a six-track dancehall compilation called New Phase Riddim. The juggling features Furno, Trejja Don, Mr. Easy, Pamputtae, and the man of the moment, Rad Dixon. Earlier this week, Dixon‘s management team – TasJay Productions – joined forces with DJ Treasure to re-release Rad Dixon‘s tune.

The clever decision was taken in-part because of Dixon‘s current trend within the reggae-dancehall industry. For those not in the know, TasJay Productions kicked off 2023 by publishing Rad Dixon‘s debut album (Hard Times), which has subsequently catapulted the artist to whole new level. To that end, they wanted to re-share the afore-stated single, titled Missing You, since it was never adequately promoted the first time around.

The melodious bright track deals with the reality of losing love ones, an actuality we all have to address at some point in our lives. And it goes without saying that the sensitivity of such a subject matter requires an empathetic voice; this is exactly what Rad Dixon gives us.
