♥ HOTTTTT New Dancehall! ♥ Ammoye and Rise Ashen - Mad Dem!

Greetings!

 

Ammoye has done it again!  Hotter than

100 pepper seed's, Ammoye teams with

Rise Ashen (the same Rise Ashen who

remixed Trouble) to complete an album

called 'Haffi Win.'

 

The album is a nice musical array of Reggae

fused with Dancehall and Roots.  Lyrically,

Ammoye deals with the case wickedly on

all chunes, especially "Mad Dem!"  Whoiii!

 

Sample the lyrics:  Coca Cola bokkle shape /

ah it ah guh mad yuh / peppa all around mih

back / ah it ah guh mad yuh / spice hot hot

hot hot / ah it ah guh mad yuh / you won't

get another bite...

 

Now set those lyrics to a pounding beat of

'one, two, three,' and a hyperactive beat per
minute, and you have the recipe for a ridiculously
HOTTTT Dancehall chune froma chick who
rides the riddim tighter than a vice grip (did
I really just say that?!)!  Lawd!

 

This is a chune you definitely don't want to miss. 

Whether Radio, Dancehall, Club or mixtape,

don't sleep, pause or blink, and don't say I

didn't tell you!

P.S.  As you read this (provided that you're

reading it on June 29th), Ammoye is performing

live in China for international delegates from

around the world!  She will also be performing

at the 3rd Annual Ottawa Reggae Festival.  More

details to come!

:: ♥ Gather Together! ♥:: Jahbandis - What A Joy!

Greetings!

 

Almost one month ago, Jahbandis delivered

a reminder message to us saying "Jah Will

Neva Leave."

 

Today, Jahbandis chants "What A Joy" of

salvation to be in Jah deliverance.  These

words are set to a sweet blend of drumming,

melodic bassline, and emphasis from back

ground singers who help to bring home the

point that Jah's deliverance is a joy!

 

Deeply spiritual, this chune brings all who

hear it together!  I admit that this chune is

not for Dancehall selectors, however, for those

who know they will have to play for a diverse

audience at some point in time, or for those

who will have to play at a Rastafari gathering,

this chune is a 'must add' to your playlist.

 

Broadcasting at 320kbps, catch Jahbandis

and their new chune "What A Joy" here:

 

 

P.S.  Jahbandis thanks you for all your support.

Since their introduction to the network, they've

performed at the Sierra Nevada Reggae Festival,

and have worked with Don Carlos.  Positive

vibes with more to come!

♠ Video Update ♠ Director Wayne Benjamin and "Mama Teachings!"

Greetings!

 

Last week, the chune "Mama Teachings"

was introduced and distributed to the network,

which immediately received great support.

 

DJ C-Roy from Florida debuted the chune 

on Frantic Friday Fete on WAVS 1170 AM

and totally flattened Florida.  Callers called

in from all parts to give Kali's music great

support.

 

Sir Daddy D and the team at Reggae 4 Us.com

was the first to debut the chune in the UK

which had rave reviews, as did Master K

from Ram Jam Radio.com and the list goes

on.

 

Wasting no time, Wayne Benjamin from

the video production company Fabrikated

Projex, created a treatment for the video,

assembled his team, and shot the video in

various locations including the beautiful

'Holiday Haven' Hotel and Condo Resorts in

Run Away Bay, St. Ann's, Jamaica (1-876-973-4893).

The video looks good, and will impact Caribbean

television in the coming weeks for sure!

 

Catch the behind the scenes look at the making

of the video, or download the chune (if you

haven't already) here:

♠ ♠ ♠ Sounie Productions Presents: Khool - It's Khool E Nuh!

Greetings!

 

Sounie Productions, the team who produced

the Crank It Up and the O-Nine Riddim

which featured artists like Morgan Heritage,

Thriller U, Anthony B and Beenie Man (to name

a few) has a new artist they're introducing to

you, and they want your feedback.

 

Khool, the lyrical Dancehall newcomer, is Sounie

Productions newest artist.  Based on his music,

you'll appreciate Khool's way of telling a story,

and his punchline delivery.

 

In his chune "It's Khool E Nuh," Khool begins

the chune by saying:  "unno dun wid dih war /

buy out dih bar / every man grab a gyal / mek

we dance yah star / good life / party ..."

 

Khool's style, combined with Sounie's productions,

reminds me of the days when DJ's worked with

riddims that profiled their DJ skills and listeners

could understand every word they delivered!

 

Broadcasting at 320kbps, catch Khool with the

chune "It's Khool E Nuh" here:

►►► Throwback Thursday! ►►► This is a Priority!

Greetings!

 

I received an e-mail from a friend this week

who said words that have resonated with me.

She said "Natasha, this is a priority..."

 

Me being the wordy nerd that I am, focused

on the word 'priority' which means to give

special attention, which is what I'm hoping

you will do for me today.

 

Luciano, great Reggae singer of songs that has

consistently uplifted listeners, the man who is

behind closed doors as he is in music; the healer

of many, the player of an instrument, he, will be

releasing his album 'United States  of Africa'

on August 3rd, 2010, and he is the priority.

 

The chune "Moving On" is the first release from

the album, and an instant classic.  My guess is

that the riddim is a Peckings original riddim, and

the introductory voice is from Shorty the President,

a well known DJ from President Sound System

from August Town, Jamaica.  I know some of you

will let me know if I'm close with my guess, or way

off!

 

With these uplifting words:  "As I travel on Life's

road / making my way home / with no one to

lend a hand / I often trod alone / and though it

seems so hard / I'll travel on / I've already come

this far / so I'll journey on...  Jah he holds me by

my hand / guide me on my way / Angel's light

each step I take / cause me not to stray..."

 

Combine those words with Luciano's voice, and

the melodic instrumentation of the riddim, and

we have the recipe for a HIT record!

 

Broadcasting at 320kbps, catch Luciano's

"Moving On" from his album 'United States of

Africa' which will be released on August 3rd,

2010 here:

 

P.S.  After you've listened to the chune, please

send me your feedback so I can pass it on!
