BridgeZ Says Take Your Time!

Alliance First Lady Bridgett “BridgeZ” Roache has released a video for her hit single “Take Your Time” featuring Big Wayne, which encourages men and women to take their time when entering a new relationship.

The singer especially hopes to target young women with the song.

“It can boost a young lady’s confidence that you can be sexy without flaunting it and showing all over, and you can be sexy without rushing into things. Once you know your value its natural to want a man to take his time,” says the singjay who is managed by Bounty Killer.

Filmed by Chris “Icey Jace” Campbell on location at the Wyndham Hotel in New Kingston, the video shows BridgeZ prepping for a photoshoot while a man (who locked eyes with her in the lobby) tries to find her room. The attractive lead is given the room number by the bell boy only to face BridgeZ strict manager who refuses to let him in. She glimpses him and gives him her assistant’s number as she would be on set all day. Bridgez meets her love interest later that night for just a drink. Shots of BridgeZ and Big Wayne as well as Big Wayne and his love interest play in between these scenes.

The song was written by BridgeZ, Bounty Killer and Munga Honorable and produced by Zum (Good Good Productions) on the Freezing Point Riddim and has been getting frequent airplay both locally and overseas.

The“Take Your Time” video premiered on On Stage with Winford Williams earlier this year.

Alliance Next Generation Artist Profile: Fuze

Dancehall artist Fuze is one of the newer and junior members of the Alliance Next Generation (ANG) camp, but packs a mean lyrical punch that can't be denied!

Performing lyrics that are based on events past and present in his life, Fuze gives his fans consistent doses of reality; whether the meanness of the streets, the importance of family, or balancing a girlfriend with career needs, Fuze is know for speaking lyrical truth.

Holding it all together – Dancehall’s Fuze!

Dancehall is a music genre that deals with parties, sex and social commentary.  The fuse that holds all topics together while keeping us entertained is none other than Dancehall artist Fuze.

Born Ricardo Lopez and hailing from St. Ann, Jamaica, Fuze’s brand of Dancehall ranges in topic from encouragement to the youth, to holding a firm meditation, to events that transpire when he is around the ladies, and the ladies are around him!

Fuze’s artistic career began at High School where, encouraged by his peers, he participated in a concert held by the school which was met with such enthusiasm by his fellow classmates, Fuze knew that entertainment is where he belonged. Using High School as a stepping stone, Fuze went on to record professionally for Courtney McIntosh and the In Touch record label with a chune called “We Love All Girls.”  The song received good feedback and good support which led to the artist recording for Chezidek’s Chalace Palace label.

Developing his onstage personal, Fuze has performed at the St. Ann Kite Festival, The Rising Son Concert series, Full Clip Reloaded, Miss Seville Height (1998-2008) and several other shows.

Fuze has also received steady success on the radio circuit as his music has been played locally on Irie FM, and internationally on Canadian, UK, Italian, Australian, German and Gambian radio.

Bounty Killer recently named Fuze as a part of the Alliance Next Generation which sees the artist increasing his profile online in the next few months!

Patexx – Any Day Now:  Alliance Next Generation!

One of the most exciting Dancehall artists to emerge from Jamaica for 2010 and 2011 is Patexx (Any Day Now).  Called to be a part of Alliance Next Generation by the Dancehall General, Bounty Killer, Patexx takes the genre from version 1.0 to version 2.0 with his signature brand and style.

Born Rohan Rankine in St. Thomas, Jamaica, Patexx always incorporated music, whether singing or DJ’ing, as a part of his upbringing.  In school, the artist could be heard singing over beats made from the drumming of his friends on the desks in their classrooms.  His musical influences, even at a young age, included Bounty Killer, Mavado, and Spragga Benz.  Because of his ability to sing as well as DJ, friends and class mates called Patexx ‘Sizzla’ because of his constantly singing Sizzla’s music.

A chance meeting with fellow female artist Passion X (associated with the Ward 21 Music Group), resulted in Patexx getting his name.  Passion X said “it will be impossible for you to make it in the business because the name is taken.  To me you look like a ‘Patexx!’”  From then, the name stuck!  Though Passion has passed on, Patexx gives her honor for blessing him with his distinguished name.

In 2008, Patexx caught the attention of DJ Kenny (arguably one of the hottest mixed tape DJ’s from Jamaica), who was so impressed with the chune “Memories” (which featured the guest vocals of Martina), he took the artist to Coppershot studio’s to record a dub.  The result was Cutty, a Selector for Coppershot building a riddim (the Pepperpot Riddim) for Patexx especially designed for the song “Memories,” and the song receiving strong support and radio play from Jamaica’s elite disc jocks, as well as the best broadcasters in countries such as England, Canada, the U.S. and Germany.

As a talented singer and songwriter, Patexx is behind some of the most played party anthems including “Summertime” produced by Riddim Syndicate which features the guest vocals of Bounty Killer, and the remix featuring Busta Rhymes.  Patexx also wrote “Party Everyday” featuring Zip FM’s ZJ Liquid.  “Party Everyday” was produced by Trevor ‘Baby G’ James, son of the legendary King Jammy’s for his Vybz Entertainment record label.

Taking his musicianship to another level, Patexx has recently recorded the songs “Party” featuring Ravers Clavers front man Ding Dong as well as “Danger” with Dancehall veteran Wayne Marshall.  On the solo tip, Code Red Records released the song “Mouth A Move” on the Straight Forward riddim as well as “Swag It.”

With his signature slogan ‘any day now,’ Patexx endures that Dancehall is in good hands as it looks to the next generation!
