On Friday, January 12th, Member of Parliament, The Honorable Floyd Green, will host a dance to raise funds for Early Childhood Institutions in his constituency.
The event, called We Still A Win – The Return, will be held at Barbary Hall in St. Elizabeth, and will feature Sizzla Kalonji, King Ghetto, Mour Dan, Jax International, DJ Hayle, Ruff Cut International, and Danjah Kid.
After a successful 2023, which saw Josh Harris and his team at Big Feet Records releasing new music with the likes of Fantan Mojah, Duane Stephenson, Macka B, Ce’Cile, Bushman, Natural Black and Lutan Fyah, the California based producer is making it clear that he intends to continue on the same path in 2024.
That said, come January 5th, Big Feet Records will share their first release for the new calendar year: People Of This World, written and performed by Warrior King.
King rose to prominence in 2001, when his single “Virtuous Woman” became an international hit. Ever since then, the Kingstonian has remained relevant by giving his fans and supporters quality message-music inspired by social issues and his Rastafarian faith. Some of his most notable singles are: “Hold Da Faith” (2005), “My Life” (2005), “Can’t Get Me Down” (2005), “Wanna Give You Love” (2009), “Never Go Where Pagans Go” (2002), and the aforementioned “Virtuous Woman” (2001).
The audio for People Of This World will be accompanied by an official video, which was also directed, shot, and edited by the Big Feet Records team.
The Tide is High, originally performed by John Holt and The Paragons, was remixed by Julian Marley, Antaeus and Melo El Melodico, and is featured on Marley‘s Colors Of Royal album, released in March, 2023.
The official video for “The Tide is High – Pentagono Remix” was just uploaded to Monom Records’ YouTube channel, the imprint on which the Colors Of Royal album was published. Click here or on the image above to check out the visuals, and remember to like, comment and share.
Guyanese singer, songwriter and producer, Samuel Medas, who frequently refers to himself as a simple country boy, has just delivered another strong reggae tune, aptly titled Stronger.
The song and video were shared on his YouTube channel on December 30th; it’s a clear indication that he is wrapping up 2023 in a forceful manner. If you have not yet seen it, click here or on the image above to check out the visuals, and remember to like, comment, and share.

Rastafarian reggae artist Fiyaneer – who some may know from his affiliation to the group Kanastone, or from his individual breakout singles: Mama Africa, We Bawl, etc. – has been added to the upcoming Jamaica Reggae Retreat Concert.
