In Jamaica it is customary to attribute nicknames to most of those who stand out in music. Thanks to his gentle and melodic voice Barrington Ainsworth Levy has earned the nickname of “Mellow canary“ of Reggae. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to compare his abilities to those of a hummingbird, the "Doctor Bird" national symbol of the Caribbean island, but whatever match you prefer, the point is the same: his lyrics run graceful gracefully and gentle gently on the syncopated rhythm of the music we love.

Achieving acclaimed success with 90?s Riddim, Savali Riddim, Herbal Dance Riddim, Kabaka Pyramid “This Must Be Love” featured on his debut EP and Chronixx award winning hit single “Odd Ras” featured on Rockstar Games “Grand Theft Auto V”, the award winning team of chart topping Billboard Engineer, Musician, Producer and Song Writer Gary ”Shanguly” Samuels and Michael “MadVibez” Thompson have delivered yet another musical gift with “Hot Steel Riddim”.

“Im a big fan of the 90?s dancehall sound and its been our most successful period to date, So i was looking for a beat that the snare plays a main role along with bass rumble accents on every four bars, Henceforth the Hot Steel Riddim was born, This project is a mix of Dancehall Legends and future stars charged with carrying on the dancehall legacy” – Gary ”Shanguly” Samuels
