Conkarah was the one who did Adele's reggae cover of 'Hello' with Rosie Delham. DA bwoy bad when it comes to dis ya ting here, a him run it......TELL DEM!!!!!
Koro Fyah - 'Rough Diamond'
Koro Fyah out of the Reggae Revival has made his debut release produced by the Bebble Rock family. It's his 'Rough Diamond' EP. Good messages, good music and definitely influenced all around by Kabaka Pyramid who makes an appearance on the best track 'Red, Green & Gold.' The only other guest is the other top track. It's 'Got It For You' featuring Lila Ike.
Citizen Sound - 'Sunshine Lady'
Heavily influenced by sound system culture, Citizen Sound is a unique fusion of dub, soul, reggae and hip-hop. On his sophomore album producer Aram Scaram teams up with some of Canada's premier singers and musicians and a few international guests to create his version of dub inspired music. Working again with Tréson on a sweet dancehall tune 'Sunshine Lady' is my favorite and the highlight of the album. Most of the tracks are also dubbed out.
NEW DANCEHALL RELEASES
Tory Lanez - 'LUV' Remix feat. Sean Paul
Pop star Tory Lanez has remixed his big hit 'LUV' the cover of Tanto Metro & Devonte's 'Everyone Falls In Love.' Who better than feature but Sean Paul, who starts the song in the remix in perfect Sean Paul style. Hopefully this will put the song over the top in the dancehalls because it only seems to be working on radio so far. The remix surfaced back in August, the real one is here. Big up Lanez & Sean Paul for the push.
NEW KULCHA LATINO RELEASES
Green Valley & FyahBwoy - 'Estamos Ready'
Green Valley & FyahBwoy, two of my favorites join forces on 'Estamos Ready.' A party themed reggae/dancehall track in Spanish.
NEW PARANG RELEASES
Blackie - 'No Christmas Without Parang'
Parang is the holiday music of Trinidad & Tobago. It is very similar in style to calypso. Veteran Blackie comes with 'No Christmas Without Parang.' Classic style, classic music and a very simple message.
