Don Corleon's Message Riddim
There is a popular saying that 'the message is in the music,' and that saying was made for the 'Message Riddim' produced by Don Corleon for Don Corleon Reocrds.
Featuring Da Professor, Cecile, Vybz Kartel, Jah Vinci, Kymani Marley, Richie Spice, Pressure, Protoje, Sophia Squire, Vital and IKaya, each song carries a message for listeners. Each Message is designed to sooth the heart (if it's in pain), uplift the spirit (if it's down trodden) and tickle the consciousness (if it's sleeping).
Lyrics such as "They say Word is power that means I'm powerful with every note I utter" (from Cecile's song "Rise Up") and "Once we have Jah's love, then nothing is greater ..." (from Pressure's song "Jah Love") examplify the spirit and energy of this riddim.
Don Corleon got the artistic line up exactly right as each performance carries the message of the riddim, thus reaching the people and delivering what they need.
The riddim will be released soon on iTunes, however fans can preview the riddim by visiting

Ky-Mani Marley Book Signing at Ottawa Reggae Festival!
Ky-Mani Marley Book Signing at Ottawa Reggae Festival
Ottawa Reggae Festival organizers add book signing to the list of activities offered to patrons at this years’ festival. Dancehall and Reggae artist, as well as philanthropist and author, Ky-Mani Marley, will autograph his novel ‘Dear Dad’ for fans!
Since the announcement of Ky-Mani’s performance, fans have been asking for a one on one session with the multi-faceted Marley in addition to his performance. “We immediately got a lot of feedback to Ky-Mani being on the festival this year” said festival President Benjamin Williams. “We decided to offer a book signing to go with his performance which generates excitement!”
‘Dear Dad’ is a compelling narrative which chronicles the young Ky-Mani’s gritty ascent out of the bullet-riddled life of street conflict and crack selling. Sharing his own personal story of personal redemption through music, Ky-Mani writes about his experiences, struggles and what he’s survived to make it to world stages he now commands.
Join Ky-Mani Marley on Saturday August 21st, 2010 at Sankofa, 430 Rideau Street in Ottawa for a rare opportunity to meet the star, and have a copy of the book autographed.
For additional information, call the festival hotline at 1-613-315-4461, or e-mail info@ottawareggaefestival.com.
