[OUT NOW] Protoje - A Matter Of Time
from 7 Year Itch to 8 Year Affair to Ancient Future...on June 29th Protoje brings us
A Matter Of Time
A Matter Of Time is Protoje's fourth full-length album. The ten track LP, produced by Winta James, marks the second consecutive album collaboration between the two following the genre-bending Ancient Future, which signaled in 2015 the advent of a fresh reinvention within the reggae space. On this latest project, the duo continue to channel a wide array of styles and sounds, from traditional Jamaican sounds to hip-hop, jazz, and rock, into a cohesive and original whole. A Matter Of Time ventures into new territory as much as it reaches back to it’s roots, maintaining the essence of Jamaican music whilst pushing the envelope in multiple new directions.
With the inclusion of previously released tracks “Blood Money” (hailed by Jamaican Radio Personality and Pan African Activist Mutaburuka as the number one reggae song of 2017), “Truths & Rights” featuring rising crooner Mortimer, and “Bout Noon”, much anticipation has hung in the air for the album’s release. - Billboard.com

[OUT NOW] Kabaka Pyramid - Kontraband
Shortly after concluding his hectic west coast tour in San Francisco in the early hours of May 5, reggae artist Kabaka Pyramid boarded an Atlanta bound flight; 45 minutes after landing there he caught a connecting flight to Jamaica. Nearly three hours later, upon his arrival in Montego Bay, the artist and his managers drove another 90 minutes in the drenching rain to reach Negril, a laid-back seaside resort town located on Jamaica’s westernmost tip, where Kabaka headlined the Tmrw.Tday Culture Fest. Once Kabaka and his band The Bebble Rockers took the stage, for over 75 minutes, they worked their way through established hits and introduced new tracks from his debut album Kontraband, which drops on May 25 and premieres here. Kabaka’s engaging onstage energy and interactions with an audience comprised almost equally of locals and visitors belied his minimal sleep and harried schedule, the details of which he eventually shared with the crowd. “We did many shows on the west coast, including five back to back dates; we landed this afternoon and drove straight here, it’s tiring, but these are the things we do for reggae music.”
With his multifaceted, forthright lyrics -- drawn from Rastafari philosophies and global observations -- set to reggae/dancehall infused rhythms delivered with a decidedly hip-hop edge, Kabaka Pyramid, in his early 30s, is an ideal headliner for the Tmrw.Tday Culture Fest. “Tmrw.Tday was the perfect environment to showcase the powerful talent of Kabaka Pyramid; the festival’s goal is to send hard hitting messages that change is needed and Kabaka, through his militant lyrics and potent delivery, is simply magic,” notes Tmrw.Tday co-founder Kevin Bourke. “Kabaka and his team are serious about their mission, they are true professionals in delivering their brand to the world and our festival’s international audience fell in love with Kabaka’s Jamaican authenticity paired with his swaggy, hip-hop influenced flow.” - more on Billboard.com
[New Music] Jah Sun - Thoughts and Prayers
This new song is once again the result of good teamwork, as the musicians who worked on the track are from Europe, Jamaica and California. Under the supervision of Italian producer Leo Bizzarri, they blended the sonority of jamaican roots (such as Peter Tosh music) with Cali Reggae, with the intent to create a call to action rather than offering only “Thoughts and Prayers”.
“The incident itself was tragic but what occured in the aftermath was a real eye opener to the great divide in this country” - Jah Sun
[New Music] Beres Hammond - I'm Alive
'Smooth, soulful, legendary reggae artist Beres Hammond is back with a new single and album after a lengthy hiatus. His new single "I'm Alive" has all the elements of classic Beres productions with smooth harmonies, jazzy instrumentation and poignant lyrics.
Hammond's status in the music is legendary, named as an influence by a diverse list of singers including Shaggy, Romain Virgo, Christopher Martin and Rihanna. Beres grew up listening to American soul and pop music from Stax, Motown and other vintage sounds, which helped formed the foundation for his mellow, bluesy delivery. With his recordings and ongoing tour schedule in 2018, Beres' star is shining brightly and the vibe in his music is never ending.' - VP Records
[New Music] Kabaka Pyramid & Damian Marley - Kontraband
Much like Kabaka Pyramid's recent releases, 'Borders' ft Stonebwoy and 'Kaught Up', his latest single is off the upcoming album Kontraband. We finally now get to hear the title track off the album with guest vocals and production from Damian Marley.
