King Toppa is an American based reggae artist who has now released a new riddim called Victory Rock Again and the best track on the riddim is Tenor Youthman 'Mi Lion.' This is the closest thing I've ever heard to Eek-A-Mouse.

Stephen Marley's Youths Jo Mersa & Yohan Marley join all forces on the Ghetto Youth produced single 'Burn It Down.' A heavy track that has the feel of 'Make It Bun Dem' reggae remix.
Frenchie of Maximum Sound Records out of the UK comes with a sweet riddim called the Blueberry Haze. Christopher Martin's 'London Queen' is the BIG tune. Randy Valentine's 'Hold On,' Vershon's 'Bring Back,' & Terio's Maria' are the others. All tunes sound good. Decide for yourself.
Richie Spice has been a bit quiet. He's making a little noise with his newest single 'Mek It Burn,' on the Tenement Yard riddim, which is a re-release of 7 years. It's a similar formula for his hit tune 'Earth A Run Red.'

Clay is a solo singer out of Jamaica and his new single "Chat & A Gwaan Bad' from his upcoming album 'Art & Soul' shows some real talent & his versatility.
Dancehall
UIM records out of Jamaica is a very good & solid production. Their new Zen riddim is no exception. All the tracks are at least decent. The lyrical content isn't my favorite. The hooks & melodies are very good. The top cut is coming from our star this week, Christopher Martin and his hit 'Wine Like A Go Go.' Other stand out cuts are from one of my favorite djs in the dancehall Konshens with 'Protect Me' and newcomer Iya Champs with 'No Reason.'
Soca
Luta releases a good new song for the St Vincent Carnival season and the winers. One of my favorite Islands for soca music. Its called 'Inside Dey.'
Olatunji out of Antigua & of the Burning Flames fame joins Runtown for the remix of 'Oh Yay.'
Imani Ray
Ska
Skapital Sound out of Mexico, release a good new ska ep
