“Music is freedom for me," says Skip Marley, the grand-nephew of Marcia Griffiths, and the grandson of Bob and Rita Marley. "I want people to just feel the music and let it be anything they want to make of it.” He wrote and arranged his debut single on Tuff Gong International, which was co-produced with Paul Fakhourie, who has worked with the likes of Lauryn Hill, Stephen Marley, Damian Marley and Nas. “Cry to Me’ is a message for this girl I know, well really a message for everybody who seems to focus on their insecurities… I’m just saying it’s cool to be who you are. Don’t let society deceive you and make you believe you’re not enough.”(boomshot.com)

I'M LIVING

LYRICS:

"Emperor Selassie I, Jah

I'm living, for the sick and the poor
The hungry and the shelterless, sleeping on the floor
I'm giving, all I've got and more
I know Jah will bless me and open up the doors
I'm living, for the young and the old
The blind and the deaf, and the dumb ones you know
I'm giving, Jah Jah love, to all of the
Beautiful people of the world

Governments coming with the same damn thing,
Million year, trillion years, 'aint doing one thing
Children, listen when the Rastaman sing -
No matter the destruction, gwaan praise the King
Warn them and tell them there is right over wrong
Mr President , why is it you make the bombs?
Everyday is weapons of mass destruction
Seems like they got no love for anyone

I'm living, for the sick and the poor
The hungry and the shelterless, sleeping on the floor
I'm giving, what I've got and more
'Cause I know the Most High will bless me for sure
I'm living, for the young and the old
The blind and the deaf, and the dumb ones you know
I'm giving, Jah Jah love, to all those
Beautiful people of the world

Don't you worry all my people,
Cause Rasta never leave you
Babylon try to deceive you
Africa with open arms will receive you
Although, the sufferation hard, well listen -
We're doing it for a cause
Sometime though I've no food in the yard
Journey me haffi step towards

I'm living, I'm living
I'm giving, whoa whoa oh whoa oh ay ay

Seems no one care for them
But Jah is there for them
And I'm here for them
Jah love I declare for them
Stretch a helping hand to the youth
You can only lead them with the truth
Don't you hear them crying?
Don't you see them dying?

I'm living, for the sick and the poor
The hungry and the shelterless, sleeping on the floor
I'm giving, all I've got and more
I know Jah will bless me and open up the doors
I'm living, for the young and the old
The blind and the deaf, and the dumb ones you know
I'm giving all I've got and more.
Most High will open up the doors

Hey, yeh Savona, Kalonji
It's beautiful
Taking it to the world, whoa
Jah is always there..."

Shaggy ft. Chronixx - Bridges (2015)

Lyrics

(Chorus)
A bet you wish you never burn that bridge
Oh no cause now your like the crosses

I bet you wish you never burn that bridge
Oh no cause now your like the crosses

I bet you wish you never burn that bridge
Oh no cause now you like the crosses

I bet you wish you never burn that bridge
Oh no cause now your like the crosses

(Verse 1)
Climbing up the ladder you better watch your steps
Watch how you a flex and watch the moves you meck
Careful of the people you disrespect
Dem wi rosicrucian man nah tek no check
Cause when you coming down they might not wanna treat you right
And when you coming down that’s when you gonna get the fight
And now your wishing that you were a little more polite
And now the table turn and everything a come to light

(Repeat Chorus)

(Verse 2)
It’s no coincident the people you meet
You haffi careful how you move in the street
The same man you pass when you going up
When you coming down, him a laugh and a grin him teeth
Grandma say today for you, tomorrow for me
That’s when you have to face your real sorrows for real
I know you wish you never burn your bridges
But who cyaa hear haffi feel
A cyaa believe yo burn it, yo burn it, a weh you a go walk
When you haffi cross the river in a dark
You burn it, you burn all your bridges in the pass
Now your future lead you to the same path

(Repeat Chorus)

A few months ago, Bass Odyssey, one of the greatest soundsystems on this planet, celebrated their 25th anniversary, in Jamaica.

Being known as a hardcore sound from day one, the settings for the event had to be appropriate.
Therefor the dance was promoted as the first SOUNDSYSTEM-FESTIVAL in Jamaica, in order to celebrate the soundsystem culture as a whole.

SENTINEL & Bass Odyssey organized a little tour around this legendary event. Together we played 3 crazy and wicked shows in Jamaica before we stepped on the anniversary stage

Three physical soundsystems strung up in Richmond, Priory, St. Ann:
Bass Odyssey, Killamanjaro and Stone Love
The line-up was completed by Metromedia, Renaissance and SENTINEL.

It was a great pleasure and honour for the Everlasting Sound to be picked for representing Europe on this event, which was the first of its kind, in Jamaica.
Once six high caliber soundsystems play in one lawn, people expect hardcore entertainment.
Not surprisingly, that's exactly what they got.
Because all of the sounds, featured on the line-up, belong to the best in this world, the german sound had to make sure, that they play extraordinary, in order to convince the jamaican crowd of their skills.
And, without any doubt, they did.
At the end of the night, common sense was, that the German Luger has just done the place.
Even the legendary selectors in the dance, like Ricky Trooper, Freddie Krueger, Skyjuice and Geefus, gave SENTINEL their props for their performance.
Last but not least SENTINEL would like to give thanks to the whole Bass Odyssey Family for their trust and salutes them on the next 25 years to come.

SENTINEL SOUND

Sentinel starts the year 2015 with a new edition of their Lovers-Rock mixtape series "Hold on to your love".The selection of tunes ranges from the 1970's straight to 2015. Marvin Gaye & Tammi Tarell's "Ain't no mountain high enough" inna Reggae Remix style meets Jacob Miller. The masters of this musical subgenre - Dennis Brown, Peter Hunnigale, Frankie Paul, Beres Hammond, Wayne Wade, Mikey Spice, Sanchez - are joined by the younger generation of artists of the Reggae/Dancehall cosmos - Chronixx, Protoje, Romain Virgo, Sara Lugo, Da'ville, Clay, Christopher Ellis. The sickly sweet voice of Minnie Riperton singing her smash hit "Loving you" makes this timless selection perfect.

Romain Virgo performs Stay With Me for 1Xtra in Jamaica. Watch now!

Check out the brand new EP "Lifted" from Romain Virgo which debuted at the number three position behind Bob Marley on the iTunes reggae chart.

The 25-year-old Jamaican singer-songwriter Romain Virgo returns with a brand new EP Lifted on VP Records. Virgo unveils hope behind darkness on this concsious 8-song set filled with social commentary.

He holds strong with "God Inna Mi Corner" and weeds out fake friends on "Fade Away" featuring dancehall artist Assassin. While showcasing his dee-jay skills on the EDM-tinged reggae track "Badder Man," he reveals the gripping realities of a rudeboy and opts for a different way of life. "I don't mix up with da criminal dem, me a gwan stick to mi gal dem. I don't care who a buss this, who a buss that, me don't want no strap," as he sings in the song's closing lyrics.

To pay homage to his ladies, Virgo then offers a few ballads on his EP - including his latest romancer "Stars Across The Sky," his Sam Smith cover of "Stay With Me" (which recieved over 2.4 mil YouTube views for its accompanying visual) and " Soul Provider" (racking in nearly 4 mil YouTube video views). This will give listeners a feel of his 2016 album entitled Love Sick (VP Records), which is a heartfelt collection mostly comprised of love songs.

Lifted follows his critically acclaimed 2012 album The System, which was described as "striking" (Washington Post), "high-quality" (BBC) and "smooth and engaging" (New York Times). Billboard also proclaimed he has "empowering messages over misogynistic and violent lyrics, intricately textured one-drop rhythms instead of frenetic digital beats" and he has "found an appreciative, multi-generational audience."

Richie Stephens has announced his collaboration with a nine-man ska ensemble. Stephens told The Gleaner the band comprises bass, guitar, keyboard, trumpet, saxophone and trombone players, two backing vocalists and a DJ. All the members were born and currently live in Salento, southern Italy. "I met the band at a festival in Italy last year after a performance. We both did ska in our set on stage and did very well. That's how the idea came about," he said. (Jamaica, Gleaner)

The unstoppeble grammy award jamaican singer and producers Richie Stephens start a great collaboration with the italian reggae singer and producers duo Rankin Lele and Papa Leo, to create a new musical project named Richie Stephens and the Ska Nation Band, between 2015 2016.


“Richie Stephens & SkaNation Band is Jamaica and Italy comin toghether in the mighty name of Ska”


With his captivating voice and a sound that exhibits his passion from every note, Richie Stephens and SkaNation Band will release their new studio album "Internationally", April 15th (Pot of Gold, Adriatic Sound/Zojak Worldwide). 
 

The 14-track album available for pre-order today  March 29th is a tribute to Ska. Richie Stephens and the SkaNation band (based out of Italy), came together to create a masterpiece, which listeners can appreciate and become educated at the same time. The album starts with a single title 'Foundation', which mentions some of the Ska greats and states that 'Ska a the original sound, Jamaica's first big music".
 

"I truly think ska music should be preserved and respected by us as Jamaican people for being our first international music" says Richie Stephens.
 

Connecting with the Skanation band, whose name was given to them by Richie Stephens, while in Italy last summer at the Casalabate Festival, the creative bond was instant. The single 'Kingston Salento' shows the connection and love for ska on a global level. With half of the album being completed in Italy and half the album completed in Jamaica, 'Internationally' is also symbolic of the passion and impact ska music have on a broader spectrum.
 

"Ska music is far more loved and respected over seas than in my own country Jamaica" says Richie Stephens.  The album 'Internationally' follows a theme  genre of Ska and gives listeners an ability to dance as well.
 

Throughout the album Richie Stephens and Skanation band embrace the musical magic of Ska. Bringing to life the message in the song like "Born To Be Great" feat. Sly & Robbie and still giving the listener a feeling of happiness as they sing and dance along. For many music lovers they may view Ska music as 'older reggae music', Richie Stephens and SkaNation band definitely changed that stereotype. With singles like "Original Style" feat. Sean Paul and Gentleman, "Internationally" feat. Sud Sound System or "Everybody Dance" (Remix) there is a youthful tone, which highlights the ability to blend age groups and still highlight the great arrangement and greatness of Ska.
 

Working with some of reggae great musicians on this album like Cleveland "Clevie" Browne, Dean Fraser and Stephen 'Lenky' Marsden, Richie Stephens and SkaNation band created a great body of work. From the musical arrangements to the lyrics, "Internationally" definitely does the music and Ska lovers proud.

"I would like every one to listen this album and realize that Ska music is a very serious genre that can stay on top if given the right opportunity like before" says Richie Stephens.

Raging Fyah & Kabaka Pyramid's "Dance With You" is an exclusive song featured on the re-release of their 2nd studio album, "Destiny". Released in 2015. Raging Fyah is one of the most talented and dynamic groups ever to hit the Jamaican music scene. Divinely united in 2006, five stunning musicians- Anthony Watson, Kumar Bent, Courtland White, Demar Gayle and Delroy Hamilton – set out to rekindle a flame of positivity in the music industry.

Though their versatility enables them to play all genres of music, most of their songs - influenced by passion, purpose and life experiences- assume a roots rock reggae flavour.

They write their own songs and ensure that every word touches the soul of the listener, uplifting and motivating people from all socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. The resulting melodies have been commonly likened legendary artistes such as Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Third World. The band also has its own recording label, Raging Fyah Productions, which produced their debut single “Peace Reigns”, followed by “Fight” as well as other work in the pipelines for several popular reggae and dancehall artistes.
The Band is committed to changing the world, note by note, melody by melody- spreading light in areas of darkness, growing when conditions seem most bleak, demolishing obstacles without remorse; the band just keeps blazing... like a raging fyah!
