Wynta Is Here To Stay, Drops New Single, “Bredda”


The first half of the 2020s opened to door to a number of Artists who would take on Dancehall/Reggae with unique sounds, and movements that would grow over time. One of those Artists was a Teenager named, Wynta. Despite his age, his determination and skillset caught the attention of many, and while that breakout single has yet to come, he’s building his foundation with a number of singles. He compares himself to a World-Class Chef, crafting his work with great precision, and with singles like “Rich Rock“, “Ghetto Currency“, “16 And Bad“, “Mula“, “Dats Code“, and “The Banga“, his name is steadily making its rounds locally. The themes in his music may tap into the fast life that many are accustomed to in Jamaica, but he has other sides to him that bring out the fun side to listeners, and grab the attention of his Female audience. While many have crashed and burned before reaching to the 1st half of the 2020s, Wynta is ready to embrace the 2nd with new music, and more growth. He recently released the new single, “Bredda“.

Produced by TopRanks, Wynta gives us a song about loyalty with the release of, “Bredda”. With his mind on family, he drops a track to show love to his brethren who have been there in his darkest and lowest times, and there in his best of times. The theme of brotherly love sometimes gets lost in the sea of songs about fake friends and “badmind“, and the Deejay takes the time out to present something positive. The ladies will always be there, but family is forever. While the sentiments are there, he reminds listeners that if any harm comes to his brothers, there will be repercussions. You can pick your friends, but you can’t pick family. In the end, the real ones will be there for you. A music video for “Bredda” is in the works, and in the following months we should expect the Deejay’s first official project to be released through TopRanks Ent..

“Wynta is a young and talented Dancehall Artist emerging from the rough streets of Jamaica, carrying a voice, a vision, and a drive that sets him apart from the crowd. His work ethic is commendable as we currently have over 100 unreleased tracks, and we’re taking the time to fully develop his craft, and build him to be an all-around Artist. For the time he has been a part of TopRanks Ent., we are hopeful that his impact will be great, and the work will not be done in vain. His journey hasn’t been easy, but he embraces the belief that life becomes what you make it, and he’s determined to “Cook like a world‑class Chef” in the music Industry.” – TopRanks, Producer/CEO TopRanks Ent.

Jah Cure & T.O.K Sampled On New @JColeNC Album, “The Fall-Off”


New music is in the air, and many are breathing it all in now. American Rapper/Producer J. Cole earlier released his long-awaited album, “The Fall-Off“. The new album serves as his supposed final project, and is chock full of selections for the fans, and music lovers. The double disc covers various aspects of his life and music career, but there are familiar sounds featured throughout.

On the track, “Only You“, a track featuring Burna Boy and features production from T-Minus, DZL, and Luca Mauti, J. Cole raps about Fatherhood, the trial and tribulations of a long-term relationship, and the negative effects that can come from success. The track taps into a variety of sounds, but particularly tapped into something from Jamaica. “Only You” sampled Jah Cure’sLonging For“, and T.O.K’sFootprints” from the “Drop Leaf Riddim“. Released in 2004 and produced by Don Corleon a.k.a. Donovan Bennett for Don Corleon Records, “Longing For” was one of Jah Cure’s most successful releases while “Footprints” became one of T.O.K’s top crossover singles in the 2000s.

Jah Cure was incarcerated during the release of “Longing For”, and the track built heavy anticipation for the Singer locally and Internationally. It was later featured on his 2005 album “True Reflections…A New Beginning“. J. Cole’s “Only You” title borrows a lyric from the track as well. “Footprints” found T.O.K at the top of their game. The group that consisted of Alex, Bay-C, Craigy T, and Flexx eyed more International looks, the 2000s was good to them. “Footprints” gained Islandwide appeal, but when the music video premiered on US channels BET and MTV, the single secured a sizable part of the International market, and would be a mainstay for years to come. “Footprints” was featured on the group’s 2005 album, “Unknown Language“. Don Corleon’s “Drop Leaf Riddim” remains one of his most successful Riddims, and the 2004 release featured tracks from Bounty Killa, Morgan Heritage, Sizzla, Tanya Stephens, Gentleman, Luciano, Maxi Priest, and more.

J. Cole’s new album, “The Fall-Off” is out now.

.@JobyJayMusic Shows Resilience On Powerful New Single, “Fighter”


Reggae Music was always rebellious. It rebelled against society, called for more consciousness, and fought against oppression and practitioners of it. Bob Marley was one of the genre’s biggest Ambassadors who called for liberation of the people, encouraged them to be resilient against the powers of evil, and his work continues to inspire generations. Recording Artist Joby Jay is one of those Artists who cites Marley as one of her inspirations. She channels him on his birthday with the release of, “Fighter“.

Produced by Mark-Anthony Reid for MAR Music, Joby Jay shares an anthem of self-liberation, mental strength, resilience, and defiance against the oppressors in, “Fighter”. Joby has observed the way the world has been running and what people have been experiencing, and she gets vulnerable here showing her battle scars, her determination to overcome and heal, and her substantial growth through it all. The song serves as encouragement for listeners to stand for what’s right, and fight, wherever they may be in the world. In the darkest of times, we need the music to help us survive, help us thrive, and help us overcome all that aim to keep us in the dark. Let Joby Jay be the voice to bring back that light. Fans of the Singer can catch her performing at the “Lost In Time Festival” on February 28 at Hope Gardens, Kingston where she shares the stage with Protoje, Tanya Stephens, Lila Ike, and more. This one is for the rebels.

Reggae Music From Hawaii Featured In New “The Wrecking Crew” Film


Reggae Music is universal, and continues to be so after adding more GRAMMY awards and other accolades to its mantle. Over the weekend, the new Film, “The Wrecking Crew” premiered on Amazon Prime Video. The Film stars Jason Mamoa and Dave Bautista, who are half brothers investigating the death of their Father in Hawaii. The Film features Actors who are from the Island of Hawaii and of Hawaiian descent, and shares parts of Hawaiian culture. Reggae got a feature in the Film, and we speak on it below.

During a scene in the new Film, “The Wrecking Crew”, “Brains” by Hawaiian/Samoan Recording Artist/Educator/Farmer Ka’ikena Scanlan was featured. The Pacific/Hawaiian Reggae single was released in 2019, produced by Pano, features Hawaiian Band These Guys, and was released through Spoon Meat Entertainment. The track speaks on the corruption that happens in the world, the manipulation of the people by evil doers and warmongers, and is a call for people to wake up, preserve the culture, and fight against systems that don’t mean the world well. Reggae music has mostly been about revolutions and consciousness, and Ka’ikena’s track is no different. “The Wrecking Crew” is out now on Amazon Prime Video.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Ambelique – Penny Lover (1997)


Welcome to February. We kick off Reggae Month, celebrate the birthday of the late Dennis Brown, recognize Black History Month, and celebrate love. It’s “Oldies Sunday“, and before we start off, we salute the late Sly Dunbar known to many from the Production duo Sly & Robbie who passed away on January 26. Today’s selection is all about love and remembering the greats. We go back in time to check out “Penny Lover” by Ambelique.

Produced by Sly & Robbie and released through the Taxi label in 1997, it’s all about a deep desire for that special someone in Ambelique’s “Penny Lover”. The track is a Reggae cover of US Singer Lionel Richie’s 1984 hit single, and Ambelique does it justice with his unique vocals, pulling in the listener who is focused on love. Sly & Robbie’s top tier production adds well to the powerful track, and it became a hit for listeners. “Penny Lover” was featured on the 1997 album, “Sings The Classics“, and was included in a number of Sly & Robbie projects following including the GRAMMY Award-winning “Friends” album.

Since “Penny Lover”, Ambelique continued to release more music. He is still active, and in 2024 he released the album “Blind Spot“. Though “Penny Lover” is a cover, it’s still loved by many around the world.

Thank You Ambelique For This Classic!

Elephant Man Gets Ladies To “Set Suh”


Elephant Man’s work ethic is one that should be studied. When many are thinking of slowing down in their 31st year, he’s still moving at a pace like he’s in his first. His efforts should be applauded, as he’s keeping the people moving. This time around, he wants the Women to “Set Suh“.

10 Songs That Made Impact In The 2020s So Far


We have officially crossed the half mark of the 2020s, and a lot has happened. In Jamaica’s music scene, many new Artists and movements emerged, some fell by the wayside just as quickly as they get the break, and others never made it to the 2020s for one reason or another. We remember those who passed away, and may their music and works live on. In remembering the first half of the 2020s, we look back at a few songs that made impact in the 2020s so far. These songs may have officially given the Artists their big break, rejuvenated a career or few, set Social Media and the streets on fire, and crossed over to the International market. Here are 10 of them in no particular order.

1. Valiant – Dunce Cheque (2022)

2022 was a year for Dancehall Artist Valiant. While he was building his career for a number of years, his name got the people’s attention thanks to a TikTok video. The video, which found him dressed in Ralph Lauren, gave the birth to the phrase, “Kotch E Hat A lie?“, which found life on Social Media thanks to various posts using the sound. From there, Valiant would capitalize off the buzz with singles like “St. Mary” and “North Carolina“. Those singles enjoyed love in the streets, but it was the Tarick-produced “Dunce Cheque” that took over households, and took flight to various parts of the world. The music video quickly hit over 1 Million views in a couple days, the single overall scored streaming numbers in the millions while securing a place in Dancehall and Social Media, and caused a few controversies thanks to the rise of the “Dunce” movement. Valiant officially became a star, and he keeps the fire going in 2026.

2. Skeng – Gvnman Shift (2021)

In 2020, people were made aware of an upcoming Dancehall Artist named, Skeng. The Spanish Town native was armed with aggressive lyrics and a presence that would unleash brimstone if he was approached the wrong way. He started to make noise with the gun-toting single “Brrp“, but it was his 2021 release “Gvnman Shift” that would open up the gates for him. His stance as an Intellectual who carefully detailed his badness throughout, placed him on the forefront of Dancehall music. The John Coop/DiTruth-produced “Gvnman Shift” enjoyed viral success, and even had kids in Basic School/Kindergarten reciting the lyrics word for word. Skeng became a star in the 2020s, with hit singles quickly following, and he successfully crossed over to the overseas market thanks to his collaborations with Rapper Nicki Minaj. Ay BWOY!

We Pay Tribute To Jimmy Cliff With New “Sampling” Playlist


On November 24 2025, the world mourned the loss of one of Reggae’s most legendary Ambassadors, Jimmy Cliff. One of the pioneering Artists of the genre, he took Reggae to places that have never heard of it, and solidified himself as one of Jamaica’s true Rockstars.

We send our condolences to his family at this time. We pay tribute to the Icon with our latest Playlist, “Sampling Jimmy Cliff“.

On October 19, music lovers celebrated the 60th birthday of the late Jamaican Vocalist, Frankie Paul. Having made his transition in 2017, Paul was one of the go-to Singers in Dancehall and Reggae. Dubbed the “Jamaican Stevie Wonder” due to visual impairment, but a brilliant talent as a Singer, he became a star since his younger days, piling on hits, singles, and albums in his solid career. Today, we remember his exceptional talent, but also his knack for knocking out a Cover Song. Tune in to our new Playlist, “Cover Kings Vol. 3 – Frankie Paul“.

With the new “Cover Kings” Playlist, we highlight some of the many cover songs Frankie Paul released over the years. From covering Guy, Lionel Richie, Loose Ends, Bobby Brown, to covering fellow Jamaican Artists Dennis Brown and John Holt, Paul was a 1 of 1 talent. Listeners can reminisce on the first time they heard these songs, and for a moment forget about the stress of the world. We miss Frankie Paul on the scene, but he left behind a legacy that’s unmatched. Thank you Frankie Paul, and continue to sleep well.

While it’s too early to ask for a project, we believe GyalKapone’s breakout moment is just around the corner. If you haven’t been familiar with her yet, today is the day that changes.

Jamaican Software Developer Turns Classic Card Game “Strip Me” Into New App!


Growing up in the Caribbean, playing outside was the order of the day. Before the advent of the Internet as we know it, ring games, sports, and many other activities would dominate a child’s life, and would be remembered fondly. With the increase of technology, many of our pastimes have been fading away from regular use, and online activities have taken over. While many would show their displeasure, Jamaican Software Developer Kenardo Smith takes utilizes the power of modern Tech to incorporate some of our favourite pastimes. On January 16, he launched his latest App called, “Two Of Cards”!

“Two Of Cards” is the latest Caribbean gaming App developed by Kenardo Smith through K.I.S.S. Games. The App follows up Smith’s “ABC Fast Or Slow”, which was released in January 2020, and was widely success as it gained thousands of downloads between the iOS and Android platforms, and received praises on Social Media, and on 13thStreetPromotions.com, and TheDigitalJamaica.com. “Two Of Cards” is the digital version of the “Strip Me” card game from Jamaica, or the “Suck The Well” card game from Barbados and Trinidad & Tobago, and requires two players alternatively playing various cards with one having the better card, and the other rewarding that player till either party’s hand is empty, deeming the rewarded the victor.

 “Two Of Cards” is a Freeminum App, which means it’s ad-supported, and offers in-app purchases that will enhance the user’s experience. The App is available on iOS, MacOS, and Android platforms, requiring users to have iOS 11.0 and up, MacOS 11.0 or later, or Android OS 5.0 or later installed on their respective devices. Kenardo Smith will be updating the game through a series of App updates in the future.
