Posted on by swadedavillain

If you’re a fan of the “Big Bad Sound” Chromatic, then you definitely know about Niko a.k.a. Nikomatic a.k.a. NikoChromatic. A founding member of the DJ Collective, he was missing out of the limelight for quite some time. While many speculated a possible rift with the other members, Creep, another founding member, assured fans that he’s still a part of the team. Today, the real reason Niko has been missing from the Collective’s various gigs, and Mixtape releases was the fact that he has been battling Kidney Disease. While the news has sent shock waves across Social Media, Niko stated that his battle can be a short one through the help of surgery and revealing it to the public wasn’t an easy feat. The team recently started a GoFundMe account to seek additional aid for the ailing DJ/MC. While we here at 13thStreetPromotions wish the best for NikoChromatic, we urge you the public to assist in any way by donating via the link below, sharing the article, and of course praying.

@DMedzMusic Lauded For Positive Lyrics, Continues To Empower Youth

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recording Artist D-Medz has yet again released the visuals for a new positive Reggae jam. The Artist who is known for singles geared at youth empowerment has been getting great reviews with the new video and single ‘Nuh Falla (Bad Company)’ on the ‘Real Rock Riddim’. The video was shot in May Pen, Clarendon where the Artist resides, and Porus, Manchester.

D-Medz who is signed to EppJam Production has been creating a buzz in Reggae for quite some time. He received great reviews after his performance at Rebel Salute earlier this year and again at Reggae Sumfest in Catherine Hall, Montego Bay. The Artist, known for singles such as ‘Champion’ that was used as a theme song on the youth empowerment programme ‘Talk Up Yout’, ‘No Vote’ and ‘Rebel Souljah’ from his Empower EP, has kept within this belief in encouraging youths through music.

The ‘Champion’ Artist was met with open arms and words of encouragement by the Hon. Olivia ‘Babsy’ Grange, Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sports, and the Most Honourable Andrew Holness, Prime Minister of Jamaica back stage at Reggae Sumfest after his big performance. He said “My music is about positivity and I encourage other Artists to strive to release music with similar content”.

D-Medz is now on the promotional trail for his new single. He can be followed on Instagram and Twitter @DMedzMusic and on Facebook as D-Medz Adams.

@BugleMusic Ventures Into Music Production

Posted on by swadedavillain

International Reggae-Dancehall Artist Bugle, CEO and Managing Director of An9ted Entertainment, is known for hits such as Pearly Gates, Nuh Compatible, Anointed, Rasta Party, and many more. With a successful musical career, Bugle now ventures into Music Production and released his first Riddim, titled Kick Off, on the An9ted Entertainment label.

“Initiating my first project included hours of hard work and late nights, which resulted in sleepless nights. After seeing everything coming together and exceeding my expectations, the long hours and hard work turned into fun and excitement. This experience has made me more appreciative of the work Producers have done with my songs in the past. I enjoyed every minute working on this project, making it a great experience for me,” Bugle said.

Kick Off features 14 tracks from artistes such as Busy Signal, Agent Sasco, Mr Easy, Tifa, Fully Bad, Samboni, Tarrus Riley, Dexta Daps, Dean Loyal, Craigy T, Sizzla, Popcaan, Cobra, Kibaki and Bugle. The compilation is getting rave reviews from fans and industry players alike, showing that it is possible to put out excellent Production with an interesting mix of veterans and up-and-coming Dancehall stars.

“It was a great experience! Working with my colleagues is always a joy. My relationship with them goes deeper than music. We would vibe at the studio cooking, drinking and smoking. We are like family. I think this made producing easier for me in comparison to a regular or a new Producer,” said Bugle.
