♠ HOTTT New Reggae! ♠ Sizzla ft. Half Pint, Jimmy Riley & Fanton Mojah - Selassie is the King!


Greetings!

Sizzla, alongside Half Pint, Jimmy Riley and Fanton Mojah have decided to close out the year 2010 and open 2011 with a proclomation:  'Selassie is the King!'


Performed to a sweet one drop riddim, each artists contribution repeats the message that Rastafarian's around the world knows, which becomes the song's punchline.


When we hear this song, we're reminded how far Jamaica has come, and thwe world for that matter, in term's of accepting Rasta's.  In the 1940's, 1950's and 1960's, Rasta's were hunted, tortured and killed because of their choice to wear dreadlocks.  Many of them had to hide in the hills to avoid cruelty perpetrated by those who didn't understand their faith.  Celebrating their faith openly was forbidden, much less recording a chune like this!

Today, not only are Rasta's respected, there are some who wear dreadlocks as a fashion statement which promotes Rastafari visually!

Broadcasting at 320kbps, and 89 BPM, catch Sizzla, Half Pint, Jimmy Riley and Fanton Mojah on this beautiful chune "Selassie is the King" by clicking the song title above the picture.  As always, share your feedback so we can pass it on!

Winter Love - R&B Edition v2

What would winter be without some love 'Winter Love?!  Thanks to Canada's Music Queen, Ms. Natasha Von Castle, you don't need to wonder!

Fresh from the Queen's mixing lab is an upgrade to the R&B mix she released a few days ago!  The updated version features two Canadian artists she couldn't leave out being Darryl Riley and Redway, and Jamaican Reggae balladeer Da'Ville!  Showing off her versatility, the Queen mixes Chaka Demus and Pliers before getting to some R. Kelly.  How did she do that?!

Enjoy the mix and pass it on to a friend.  Make sure to send us your feedback so we can pass it on.  Click on the title for the download!

♠ HOTTT New Music! ♠ Tifa + King Turbo!

Greetings!
 
Tifa and ZJ Chrome have a brand new release on the Dancehall EFX riddim which is certified murdah!  Known for her provocative and true lyrics which are always riddled with positive punch lines Tifa drops this especially for the ladies:
 
yuh ave fih know how fih care it / do exercise / nuh
wear an tear it / nuh give no loose ride!   
 
The name of the chune is "Good Up" which speaks to the vibes of the chune and the riddim!
Make sure you request the chune from your favourite radio station, in the Dancehall and from mixtape Kings and Queens!




Canada is still developing when it comes to sound systems who qualify to be representatives
on the international stage.  If I am to be totally honest, I would say we have two.  Of those two, one set the foundation for the younger generation and that would be King Turbo!
 
Born in Scarborough, the sound was the first of the younger generation to have a studio for
voicing dubplates, mixed tapes that reached all corners of the world, and two radio shows.
Both shows are still on the air, one on 89.5 FM and the other on 93.5 FM.  King Turbo was
one of the first sound systems to put Canadian artists on the international map.  Lindo P and
Blessed are just two examples. 
 
I should also mention that when I decided to leave my practice as a Paralegal in Entertainment Law, King Turbo gave me my first job as their manager.  Believe me, our roots go deep!
 
So why all the history?  Sometimes it's good to know who you're playing with before you even
start! Spex stopped by our offices this week to personally drop off the latest mixes which show off why they are, and always will be the King!
