[New Music] Marla Brown - Hello
“Hello” is the first single release from Marla Brown’s upcoming EP called “PDSTM (Please Don't Stop The Music)”. She is the youngest child and daughter of the late, great Dennis Brown. After 14 years as a professional dancer, where she was an ambassador for the 2012 London Olympic and Paralympic Games, a semi finalist in the hit TV show Britain’s Got Talent and noted dancer for the sporting giant Adidas, she started a singing career in the past few years and really got some attention in the reggae industry so far. She played shows all over Europe, Costa Rica, Jamaica and in the USA.
With “PDSTM” Marla will prove once more, that the title Crown Princess of Reggae is not just her birthright, but that she earns it for her artistry and music. She is not just continuing her fathers work, but actively creates her own style and sound. “Hello” is the first, strong proof for this.
[New Music] Lila Ike - Where I'm From
[Music Video] Protoje, Lila Ike, Agent Sasco - Not Another Word
GRAMMY-nominated artist, songwriter, and philosophical thinker Protoje takes his message to the streets of downtown Kingston, Jamaica, on his new video for “Not Another Word.” On the call-to-action anthem (out April 26 via In.Digg.Nation Collective/Easy Star Records) he recruited fellow Jamaican comrades Agent Sasco (Assassin) and Lila Iké. “Not Another Word” is Protoje’s first new material since his GRAMMY-nominated album A Matter Of Time. On this visually-stunning guerilla street rally (directed by RD Studios), the trio bands together to address hypocrisies and encourage people to take responsibility for their actions.
“It was important to me that we touched on everyday scenes that aren’t uncommon to see when we take a look at happenings in Jamaica. I wanted the video to be grounded in our everyday reality. The video director Ruption really understood the vision and came up with the idea to capture a lot of the scenes using a ‘God’s Eye’ point of view. It was a vibe,” Protoje says about the visual.
Global Sound Clash at Reggae Sumfest
The Global Sound Clash Event Prior to Reggae Sumfest’s Main Nights Features Selectors from Around the World in a Nail-biting Competition.
The Global Sound Clash Event Prior to Reggae Sumfest’s Main Nights features Selectors from Around the World in an exciting GLOBAL SOUND CLASH Competition!
Jamaica’s rich music and culture which have impacted and infused itself throughout the world also produced the sound clash, which is one of the many musical standouts which originated in the country that birthed reggae and dancehall. More classically defined, a sound clash is a DJ battle (mostly in reggae and dancehall) where two collective sounds – consisting of one or more selectors (or DJs as they say in the U.S.) – go tune for tune.
They often use custom remixes (aka dub plates) featuring drops from marquee artists to win over the audience. Now, on Thursday, July 18th, Jamaica’s largest music festival Reggae Sumfest brings back the Global Sound Clash again this year to Pier 1. At 8pm the nail-biting competition begins between leading sounds from Jamaica, Japan, Africa and Canada – Ricky Trooper, Pink Panther, Warrior Sound, Yard Beat and King Turbo.
