L3 Magazine’s August Issue ft. Alaine, King Addies, Ajrenaline



L3 Magazine’s August issue is finally here and features one of Reggae’s most loved singers, Alaine Laughton, one of the Sound Clash arena’s most respected (and feared) sounds, King Addies and one of Jamaica’s fastest rising stars, Ajrenaline.

Speaking exclusively to Tricia ‘ZJ Sparks’ Spence, Alaine opens up to the L3 audience about maintaining her stunning physique, how prayer helps to influence her music and similarities between her and Alicia Keys.  Alaine also shares a touching experience during an interview in Jambi, Kenya who was “calling about cows and goats in exchange for marriage!”

When it comes to the Sound arena, one of the most respected sounds is King Addies.  Now being managed by Irish and Chin, Natasha Von Castle sat down with King Pin to talk about the expectations that Sound Clash fans have of King Addies, and the Sounds upcoming performance at World Clash in their home town of New York.  The two also talk about the Biltmore era and how that helps the Sound in Clash today and the fact that “you want to win and lock off the other sound; that’s your goal.” 

Ajrenaline is one of Jamaica’s fastest rising sensations, and he speaks to Tricia ‘ZJ Sparks’ Spence about music and where he is within the industry right now.  How does his future look and what moves will he be making soon?  All this and more are revealed!

Artists in focus include Bryan Art and Sustane who will each be performing at the Montreal International Reggae Festival later this month, as well as Yung Image and one of Toronto’s promising vocalists, Kash who is ‘kalling all Soldiers home.’  Making their debut from New York is Ahkee and Sojournah who represent the Roots Reggae culture!  Also making an appearance is DJ Naz Gurl Power who is our DJ feature of the month!

Additional sections of interest are L3’s Top Digital Downloads and Rico Vibes Video Charts.  Music review of Chezidek, Red Fox and Bushwood are included as s the latest music releases of albums, riddims and mixtapes.  The model of the month / centerfold is shot through the lens of Jerome Dupont who make the color yellow, combined with a multi-color sequins pop for the camera.

Jimmy Tambou offers delicious vegan recipes and Heike Dempster walks us through Free Art Fridays in Miami, and in California, we get familiar with Subliminal Projects and their feature of BDX-LAX ‘Far Away so Close.’  New York’s own Rick Long, choreographer to the stars makes an appearance as does a review for Groovin in the Park.

All of this and more are available in the July issue of L3 Magazine which can be read exclusively at www.L3Magazine.com!

♠ ZJ Sparks Presents ♠ HOTTT New Reggae - City Streetz Riddim!



Just as you rely on the words of your Doctor regarding your health, is just as you must rely on our words as being the truth about the riddim called 'City Streetz!'
A co-production by ZJ Sparks for Twelve 9 Records and Dynasty Records, the riddim boasts 12 artists from Delly Ranks to Sizzla to Gappy Ranks.  Each chune reflects 'talk' on the City Streetz as to what's going on in people's lives.
For example, we have Bobby Hustle talking about the good love his girl gives him, to Warrior King proudly telling the world that all his days he'll be praising Jah, to Sophia Squire who says that somehow, some way, she's going  to find a way.
The chune that you have to trust us on, comes from Lutan Fyah called "Hush!"
Addressing the plague of women who have a child or children with a man who leave without
paying any child support, Lutah Fyah says:
"if ah dat ah gwaan young man stop it / nuh
tell me dat yuh pickney ah jacket ... dah one
yah name Hush / baby madda / nuh badda worry
bout dih deadbeat fadda / him run gone leff you
an yuh pickney / not a red cent him nuh come
sen gih Britney ...." 
 
Now that we've looked at the lyrics, let's look at the riddim itself.  The bassline is where the
addiction rests as it carries the chord progression.  It starts you off in one key, takes you to another, then brings you back to the original key.  After listening to even one chune on the riddim, you will be hooked ... no chance to escape!

Just 'Chill' with ZJ Sparks!


For this blog post, we have to set the mood...

Imagine it's a Thursday night and you've had a long day at work.  The only thing on your mind is to see your significant other who calls you to say they have the bottle of wine and should be over in a few.

You light the candles and start the fireplace.  The only thing missing is the music ... what do you play?!

Courtesy of ZJ Sparks, you now have 1 hour and nineteen minutes of 'Sparked Up Vol. 4 - Coconut Breeze Edition' which is the best musical selection of music in the 'chill category.'  "With this mix, I didn't want to go too fast, and I didn't want to go too slow ... I just wanted people to enjoy good music while in the company of friends," said the DJ from her mixing studio in Jamaica.

Team L3 tested the mix out during a recent company mixer, and the mix went over well.  Not only did the team like the mix, they requested copies!

Catch your copy of the certified 'chill' mix by clicking on the link below.  P.S.  Sparks was able to get some exclusive releases that you can't hear anywhere else so enjoy!
