HOTTT New Music! Jessie James – Me She Want!

Inspired Music Concepts, lead by Anil ‘Phantom’ Montaque, is a production and management group based in Kingston, Jamaica.  We first came to know them because of the work done with ski champion Tanner Hall and his award winning documentary Like a Lion.  Phantom produced most of the music for the soundtrack, and worked with Cali P on the lead single.  The soundtrack was and still is an international success!

Good.

Phantom met up with us recently for updates on new projects.  Females, are going to LOVE this update!

Jessie James (yes that is his real government name) is the update!  Jessie has a new single on the road called “Me She Want” which has become so popular, he had to shoot a video for it.  As a matter of fact, his music overall is so popular, multiple video’s are being shot!

The chune is a Dancehall ode (meaning a poem intended to be sung) descriptive of why Jessie is held in such high regard by the ladies.  He sings:  “I love the way you’re lying in my bed / girl you’re so beautiful / come closer baby / I can never get you out my head / I’ll be your best friend / I’ll be your boyfriend / I’ll be your man…”

Here we go!

Combine those lyrics with Jessie’s looks and you can imagine fan reaction – we witnessed it firsthand so we know what we're saying!

P.S.  Connect with Team Jessie on Twitter >>>

Introducing Stylez!

With a bag of tricks up his sleeve, it’s not hard to see why one upcoming artiste seeks to prove that he’s full of 'Stylez' with substance in his content.

Growing up in Portmore, St. Catherine, emerging deejay, Stylez has music running through his veins since birth. No one recognized Stylez's abilities more than the one who gave birth to him as his mother encouraged him and his two younger brothers to test their musical skills; later forming a group called the Star Brothers, who soon made their name within their community by singing at church.

For Stylez, his mother's belief in him was the driving force towards wanting to own the stage.

"It's safe to say my mother was the ultimate influence on me being introduced to music at a tender age!" he said.

 

From there, Stylez perfected his craft while attending Dunoon Technical High School, teaming up with his friend, Kardo to form the duo, Stylez and Kardo (SK) in 2006 before migrating to the United States. Being in a new country forced Stylez to make some adaptations on and off-stage, but soon opened doors towards a brighter future in music.

"Being in a new country and reunited with my mother and stepfather, I pretty much had to start over. My mother asked me, 'What do I want to do now?' I told her I wanted to pursue my music full time for a year with their support," he said. "They agreed and asked me if I was gonna go solo and I told them it's me and my friend so I can't leave home. The following month he was here and out journey began!"

While with the group, he co-founded a new genre dubbed 'Pop-Tois' combining elements of Dancehall with American pop music. But being in SK opened the door towards Stylez performing for some of Dancehall's elite, boosting his profile beyond belief.

“We opened for all major acts youu can think of in dancehall; from Sean Paul to (Bounty) Killa to Cham, just to name a few and that was all because of the respect and belief the promoters and Djs had on SK!” Stylez said.

SK dropped notable tracks such as Google Girl, Party Cup and Go Hard to some acclaim, but endured their share of struggles as a debut mixtape, SK – Street Knowledge was not released in Jamaica due to Stylez’s migration while the group’s first album, due for release this past summer, also failed to come to fruition.

After years of success and struggle with SK, the group broke up earlier this year, prompting Stylez to go solo and develop his own persona that would make him a legitimate threat in Dancehall.

Fast forward to September and Stylez has made good on his promise to attract the eyes and ears of music lovers as he unveiled his thought-provoking debut single, Good Ole a Dweet, which immediately garnered him attention from all corners of the industry.

“Even though me and my team knew it would raise some eyebrows in the industry, and also with fans we didn't anticipate this much hype over it. But we loving it man!!” he said.  With his hybrid sound and edgy lyrics, Stylez quickly left his mark on the scene as Good Ole a Dweet and its accompanying gave him instant street credibility and buzz.

Seeking to capitalize on his new-found fame, Stylez has tested new boundaries with his follow-up effort, She Katch It, which was released last month.

To ensure music lovers would have their eyes fixed on him, Stylez, at the advice of his PR team, decided to create hardcore visuals for the song that would spark controversy but present art at the same time.

“We went to the drawing board and decided to do something classy, but at the same time rated R and not degrading,” he said.

Delly Ranx Video for The Next Chapter Near Complete!

Despite minor scheduling setbacks caused by Hurricane Sandy, Dancehall DJ and veteran entertainer Delly Ranx was in Jamaica this past week shooting his music video for his Top 10 song The Next Chapter.

The lead song from his album of the same name, tops charts in North America, Europe and his home of Jamaica, prompting the artist to add a visual element to compliment what fans hear on the radio.

Teaming with veteran music video producer Terminal 4 Media, scenes for the video were shot at various locations throughout Kingston, and concluded with a full day of indoor shooting in front of a green screen.

As if speaking to fans directly, Delly sat on a couch while reasoning with the camera, which acts as the eyes and ears of his fans.  In some scenes, the artist reasons in relaxed casual attire, in other scenes, a little more formal.

“The video is more like a story about the next chapter of my life,” said Delly while on break from shooting.  “People will relate to it because as the lyrics say ‘different meditation for a different stage’ which is an experience we all have.  We all go through changes especially as we mature which is what the song is about.”

The self reflective song, which discusses changes in the artists personal and professional life, embraces a new path and direction.  Transitioning from yesterday to today, Delly includes fans on the newest chapter of his journey.  The song is an international success.   

The video will officially be released in December, and will be available to all markets internationally.  The 18 track disc is available on all major digital retail outlets including iTunes and Amazon.  Physical format discs are available via www.dellyranx.com.
