The word 'unprecedented' is defined as "without previous instance; never before known or experienced; unexampled or unparalleled" and one of the musicians who has emerged with lyrical leadership is Roots Reggae star Alborosie.
His song "Unprecedented Time" comes from his forthcoming EP of the same name (date of release to be determined) and carries the reassurance that all will be well. What's more, the song reminds us that we have to be mentally strong as much as we are physically strong. When we have control of our mind, we have control over how we respond to what is going on around us, and the less likely it is that an outside occurrence can interfere with our internal balance.
Lila Iké's long awaited debut EP The Experience is available now everywhere. Produced by Protoje for his label In.Digg.Nation Collective on a new label deal with RCA Records.
Watch the video for ‘I Spy’, Lila Ike’s latest single.
Originally from Guyana, BLAKKAMOORE quickly moved to Brooklyn where he was living in the hip-hop culture from his young age. With these various origins came the wish to mix sounds and cultures
having now his own style between urban music and tropical reggae dancehall. He became a high value in the musical industry playing and working with artists like MAJOR LAZER, DJ PREMIER or SNOOP DOGG for who he wrote many tracks on the SNOOP LION album: REINCARNATED nominated for the Grammy Awards in 2013.
On the new album UPWARD SPIRAL, BLAKKAMOORE demonstrates how reggae and hip-hop are linked by their stories, origins and influences. We can enjoy his oiled and charismatic voice on reggae music or urban sonorities. When tempo goes faster BLAKKAMOORE still feels comfortable and his flow keeps its fluidity. This new urban reggae album offers versatility and creativity from the talented BLAKKAMOORE who sings toasts and raps so easily.
His charism and experience make him a complete artist which brings back reggae music to the front of the international stage moving it away from the established clichés. This is the reason why SNOOP DOGG himself features on this new project on the “Get Down Tonight” track: the perfect example of a dancehall / hip-hop meeting. BIGA* RANX digital Dub scene icon joins BLAKKAMOORE on the excellent “Skyscrappers” for a high-level collaboration where both voices and flow give us the reply. Finally, on “Earth Cry” you’ll hear AKAE BEKA the deceased MIDNITE’s singer, this band which had big
success around the world with a mystical aura.
A qualitative cocktail served on rich and various productions reviving worldwide reggae scene and gathering more people around aesthetics which finally can be one.

It was produced by Bob Riddim and Greatest Records and has been creating a wave digitally since its audio release. The music video has officially premiered and the visuals are representative of young creatives going against the grain and rising within their industries. The video was shot and directed by local cinematophy company IIFold (Two Fold Creative Studios).
Good friends, Wayne J and Blvk H3ro frequently collaborate ideas and share the same burning passion for not just music for youth empowerment. Wayne J, at just 17 years old has already accomplished quite a bit with appearances on the Rebel Salute and Sting stages and the release of his debut EP ‘A Wayne J Enuh’ back in 2013. Blvk H3ro has also proven that he epitomises the ‘Young Boss’ title with his lyrical prowess, strong vocals and eccentric style. His most recent album, ‘The Immortal Steppa’ was released in 2019 and it only propelled him even further in the reggae industry - so much so that he’s labelled as one to watch by various entertainment publications. - VRTICAL

The question was not IF, but WHEN Kumar would release his first solo album. After his departure from Raging Fyah in 2018 no one knew how long it would take before he would release a solo album. His last album was recorded and released in 2016 as a member of Raging Fyah and received a Grammy nomination in the Best Reggae Album category. Kumar’s long awaited first solo album entitled “Kulture Walk” is now almost here. “Remember Me” the first single and video from the album is now out.
Kumar is a singer, songwriter and producer well known for his outstanding vocal ability. In his recordings he easily flows from deep roots reggae to a soulful pop sound that is exemplified in the upcoming album. His new music reinforces his diversity as an artiste seeking to learn and to capture all that he can within his art form. “Remember Me” is written by Kumar and produced by Jahvanie Weekday Morrison "Tru Ambassador " and Kumar. He has been promoting this song for a while, and received very positive feedback when he performed it recently in Jamaica at Reggae Month 2020 events.
“Creating this song was a fulfilling experience. My very good friend and producer extraordinaire Jahvanie Weekday came up with the idea for the music and immediately the lyrics came to me. No one wants to feel left behind or feel like they give constantly but don’t receive anything back from others. This song means a lot to me and relates to many others ... I am just another voice encouraging them and us that life can be more beautiful and rewarding. Remember me, remember you, remember love.” Kumar Bent
The “Kulture Walk” album is scheduled for release on May 1st, 2020. There are 13 tracks on the album, with a variety of musical styles including features with M1 “Dead Prez “, and Agent Sasco.

Set in his native country of Jamaica, Chronixx returns to his youthful days for the “Dela Move” video directed by Nabil Elderkin. The Spanish Town representer surrounds himself with musicians placed in nature as they conjure up rhythms native of Africa’s musical inventions. A young Chronixx is then seen running through the neighborhood breathing fire, presumably to symbolize the fervor lyrics that fill the melody.
In tandem with the video’s debut, Chronixx also shared the arrival of his sophomore album Dela Splash. The project is slated for release later this year, arriving three years after his debut album, Chronology.
“Knowing that where I’m from is a place of creativity gave me confidence as a creator,” he said in a press release statement. For his upcoming effort, Chronixx dips into a sonic world that’s a departure from his previous outputs. Per Vanity Fair, the Reggae artist said Dela Splash launched from a “dark” point in time. “It’s so much darker than anything else I’ve ever done,” he noted.
