Reggae Icon EVER-G Releases a Mother’s Day Tribute!

For millions of people around the world, Mother’s Day is one of the most special on the calendar.  It’s the day that most celebrate all the things their Moms, Grandmother’s, Aunt’s and Surrogate Mom’s have done for them over the years.

Reggae Icon, EVER-G has released a song in celebration of his Mom and all mothers around the world called “Miss Beautiful!”

Taken from his CD entitled ‘Independence,’ EVER-G loving lays out the reasons why his Mom is beautiful which is a sentiment echoed by many.  The icon sings:  "dearest Mother / I Love you / always have / always will ... thank you for caring when no one else cared / I thank you for listening when I needed an ear / thank you for loving me / freely and unconditionally / for as long as I live / you will always be / Miss Beautiful to me ...."

“My Mom has always been so supportive of my career.  She was there with me at my first performance, so I feel I have to sing a song just for her so she knows how much she means to me.  I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for my Mom!”

The song was widely released today to thousands of DJ’s across the L3 Music Distribution network.  DJ Wiz, from CHRY 105.5 FM feels the song is one that “can be played at all times of the year, not just Mother’s Day,” while Tony Carr in the Washington DC area says his listeners are “huge fans of EVER-G’s so this song will receive a lot of play!”  In the UK, Sir Daddy D from Reggae4Us.com applauds EVER-G for making this song saying “we need more music to celebrate women and all the good they do for us men.”

The Icon has been nominated for 3 awards at the Virginia Reggae Awards and is racking up votes at the website (http://www.virginiareggaeawards.com/votes/all/) so make your vote count too!  Voting ends on May 13^th, 2011, and the awards will be held on May 14^th at East Queen’s Way & King Street downtown Hampton, Virginia.

►►► Classic Friday! ►►► Miss Ivy Last Son!

This weekend, DJ's and Sound System Selectors are preparing specials in honor of Mother's Day!

 

Dancehall DJ and Alliance founder, Bounty Killer recorded a beautiful tribute to his Mom, Miss Ivy which not only speaks for him, but speaks to all Mothers around the world.

 

As one of the few women who can soften the heart of the killer, the DJ says:  

 

"without mama's love and tender care / and Jah mercy / I wouldn't be standing here today / so I have to give thanks and praise / to be ungrateful / no / anno me so I have to say / respect to mama / from my heart you are precious to me more than in every way / if all the riches should fade away / I wouldn't worry because mama's love is here to stay ...."

 

The artist goes on to sing that no matter how many mistakes are made, mama never turns her back on her son (daughter).  If we look at our own lives, we would agree with this statement.

 

On a different note, there are some of us who were not raised by our Mothers but were raised by Aunties, Grandmothers, Cousins, nannies etc.  No matter who raised you, the principal is still the same:  Motherly love!

♠ Inspired by 'The Realest Mix' ♠ Konshens "Out The Ghetto" + The Manhattans!

Greetings!


Yesterday's e-blast featured the 'Realest Mix'
by D&H featuring Konshens. Track 29 on that
mix is a chune called "Out The Ghetto" which was
my first time hearing the chune even though I'm
told it was released in 2009 - September 2009.
Yikes!



"Out The Ghetto" is the right now record, and
the anthem. In some way shape or form, we are
all trying to make it 'out the ghetto.' The term
'ghetto' is not necessarily the place where a person
lives, but is a place where a person doesn't want
to be, thus trying to 'make it out.'


To quote Konshens "we are hustlers, and a hustler
never quits, gotta go hard for the benefits, tryin'
to make it out the ghetto...."


Mr. & Mrs. DJ, if you've been rocking this chune,
ignore my banter. If you haven't, you gotta take
it in.

For listeners young, mature and in between, and
broadcasting at 320kbps, catch Konshens chune
(which I'm really late on - apologies) "Out The Ghetto"
here:
