Delly Ranx Property Tax Riddim Cracks iTunes Top 100 for Reggae and Dancehall!

Delly Ranx and the team at Pure Music Productions is in celebratory mode as news of their recently released Property Tax riddim cracks the iTunes Top 100 list, debuting at #91 for best Reggae and Dancehall releases.

Reflecting the musical tastes of fans who purchase Reggae and Dancehall on iTunes, the charting of the Property Tax riddim is a welcome surprise to the team who just released the riddim last week (January 29^th) via the distribution company 21^st Hapilos. 

Featuring performances by Delly Ranx, Buju Banton, Sizzla, Macka Diamond and ZJ Liquid, the riddim has become one of the most played and most added to rotation in the US, Canada and the Caribbean.  In the UK, the riddim was debuted by popular radio host, Robbo Ranx on BBC 1Xtra who, received such an overwhelming response, the broadcast had to be made available for fans to listen again and download.  Of the riddim Robbo says “excellent Dancehall production that will be played throughout 2013 for sure.”

With the expectation that the popularity will move the riddim higher on the chart, Delly Ranx commented “I love my fans and thank them for supporting the Property Tax riddim.  For the news fans we’re picking up along the way, they can expect more great music, more pure music!”

One of the most popular songs on the riddim comes from Captain Barkey whose song “Property Tax” named the riddim.  As one of the last recordings the artist performed before his untimely passing, fans are enjoying the humor behind the concept of paying ‘property tax!’ 

Buju Banton’s song “Wine and Bubble,” Liquid’s song “Wine For Me” and Ratigan’s song “Know Bout This” will each be released as singles on February 5^th through 21^st Hapilos and are expected to chart individually.

Protoje's 7Year Itch!

Since the release of his Debut album 7Year Itch in 2011, Protoje has been engaging in activities to enhance his career and spread his music around the world.

To this end he travelled to the prestigious Media Conference, South by South Western (SXSW) in Austin, Texas in  the USA on the invitation of Matt Sonzala, Music Fest Coordinator,  to learn more about the business  of music and to headline Reggae night at the Flamingo Cantina where Uprising Band also performed showcasing  their excellence as musicians.

Fresh off that exciting performance with his band INDIGGNATION, the journey  having been made possible by sponsorship from Digicel, Red Stripe and personal contributions from some past Steths athletes and family members and friends, PROTOJE  is all set to commence the first leg of a planned promotional RASTA  LOVE tour in the USA starting with the West coast between the 17 th and 27th of May, with 10 shows in 11 days in California and Washington.

However, Protoje was super pleased with having gotten the opportunity ahead of his USA TREK to perform in Dubai, UAE on the 20th of April at Club Trilogy along with Zjliquid.

So where next does the journey take Protoje?  As Protoje tweeted recently
"Finally Africa."  Protoje and his InDiggNation Band will be performing in South Africa alongside Ne-Yo, Shaggy, Ludacris and South African artistes on the 2nd of June, 2012 at the MBay Megafest at the Nelson Mandela Stadium in Port Elizabeth.

After returning from South Africa Protoje will then move on to Europe, where he toured twice in 2011. He has already been confirmed on several shows including two of the most successful Festivals, Summerjam in Germany and Rottotom in Spain. A Japanese tour is also expected in the first two weeks in September.

Protoje has not been shirking his recording career in all this though, having been working assiduously on his second album with chart topping producer and cousin, Donovan "Don Corleon" Bennett to be titled "8 Year Affair". He has released 2 singles in recent times, the hard hitting "Who Dem a Program" and a smooth rendition ft. Chris Watts titled "Around the World,"  both singles being produced by Don Corleon.

Protoje was recently chosen by the German  reggae Riddim Magazine As Songwriter of 2011 and it's readers voted him as International Newcomer of 2011.

The journey continues.
