EDGE Makes A Return To Music With Upcoming “1994” Single


Jamaican music has evolved in so many ways over the years, and with the evolutions come a slew of Artists and Creators who take the sounds to different levels. One of the Artists who contributed was James Lawrence a.k.a. EDGE. The St. Ann Rapper has made some noise over the years, has shown up in more ways as an Athlete/Stuntman (we featured his appearance in this Short Film), has collaborated with the likes of Popcaan and Skillibeng, and has earned recognition by brands like OVO Nocta. He took some time away from the music to focus on other things, but now he readies a return with the release of, “1994“.

“1994” will be EDGE’s return to the scene, a tribute to his true creative essence, and will showcase his evolution as an Artist, with a commitment to authenticity and self-expression. The single was produced by Justin “OooThatsJustin” Caine, and will be an experience for listener as he weaves through the captivating production with unique lyrics. “1994” will make its debut as a Music Video directed by Gareth Cobran, and will highlight EDGE’s hometown of Edgecombe in St. Ann, and capture his journey of self-acceptance, his story, and personality.

I want my fans to know that ‘1994’ is more than just a song; it’s a piece of me. Music has always been my truest form of expression, and with this track, I hope to connect with people on a deeper level, sharing my story and the lessons I’ve learned along the way.

EDGE will take centerstage with “1994” come February 12 on all digital music streaming platforms.

For all the TV junkies, a new show has emerged, and we know you’ll tune in. Recently, Amazon premiered their new series, “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” on their Prime Video platform. Inspired by the 2005 Film starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, the series stars Actor/Producer/Recording Artist Donald Glover a.k.a. Childish Gambino, and Actress/Writer Maya Erskine who play Assassins/Secret Agents for an organization under the cover of a married couple. The Spy Comedy/Action series has been anticipated for quite some time, its soundtrack features some great tracks. In a couple episodes of season 1, familiar music from Jamaica was featured.

In Episodes 2 and 3 of “Mr. & Mrs. Smith”, “Pearls” by the late Vocalist Alton Ellis, and “Dream Girl/Girl Of My Dreams” by Reggae Singer Cornel Campbell were played in a couple scenes respectively. “Pearls” was produced by “Sir Coxsone” Dodd for Studio One, and featured on Ellis’ 1969The Best Of Alton Ellis” compilation. “Dream Girl/Girl Of My Dreams” was produced by Bunny “Striker” Lee, and released through the Jackpot label in 1972. “Girl Of My Dreams” was sampled by La Fine Equipe, and by Naomi Cowan for her hit single, “Paradise Plum“. Both songs are certified classics, and made for great additions for the “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” soundtrack, which also features other songs with love themes.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Aston “Family Man” Barrett – Soul Constitution (1971)


Before we start off today’s Oldies Sunday, we want to send our condolences to the families of the late Alan Magnus, and the late Aston “Family Man” Barrett who made their transitions over the weekend. May their legacies live on.

On Oldies Sunday, we’ve highlighted many who have made the music we love. From Vocalists to Musicians, they have provided sounds and vibes beyond our imaginations, scoring hits, and faves in the process. Today, we highlight a Musician who was the backbone of a few important Bands in Jamaican Music. His name is Aston Barrett, many know him as “Family Man” Barrett, and we highlight his track, “Soul Constitution“.

Arranged by Aston Barrett and featuring Musician Glen Adams, “Soul Constitution” was released through the Star Apple label in 1971. The Instrumental track features Aston’s signature basslines, backing by additional Instruments, and a soulful vibe throughout that could easily be the theme music for a TV show. “Soul Constitution” was one of Barrett’s many productions, and was re-issued in 2016, and included in his 2016 album of the same name. It was also sampled on the 2007 track “Engine Running” by Hip Hop Artists Talib Kweli and Consequence, and Producer Madlib.

Aston “Family Man” Barrett was a member of Bob Marley & The Wailers, The Hippy Boys with Lloyd Charmers, the Barrett Brothers with his Brother Carlton, and The Upsetters with the late Lee “Scratch” Perry. He was a Producer who co-produced, engineered, and played on albums by Bob Marley & The Wailers, Judy Mowatt, Burning Spear, Keith Hudson, Augustus Pablo, Max Romeo, and many others including his own albums. He has been celebrated by many, and was recognized by legendary Musicians/Artists/Publications, and was awarded the Order of Distinction in 2021 during Jamaica’s National Honours and Awards. He was also highlighted in the upcoming “Bob Marley: One Love” Film played by his son, Aston Barrett Jr. Aston “Family Man” Barrett passed away on February 3, 2024, but left behind a legacy that will span generations, and like his nickname, a large family both biological and social.

Thank you Aston Barrett For Your Works. Sleep Well.

Teejay Unleashes “I Am Chippy” EP, “Dip” With Tommy Lee Sparta


2023 was the year for “Drift“, but 2024 is the year Teejay the global Artist makes significant moves. The Deejay has been busy these past few months. From scoring a International hit single, to signing a Record deal, to even confronting fellow Dancehall Artists in short-lived lyrical battles. With all that’s happening and happened, it’s still his time to shine. He steps out with the EP, “I Am Chippy“.

Featuring 10 tracks, Teejay delivers a package that is street-certified, club ready, and globally accepted. While many awaited an album from the Deejay, plans for that is currently shelved, and “I Am Chippy” will set the tone for his career moving forward. “Drift” and its remix with Davido are featured, and production includes the likes of DJ Mac, Panda, Slingerz Records, DJ Frass, and Extol Music. Teejay doesn’t take on the world by himself, and he brings along Skillibeng, Tommy Lee Sparta, Quada, Jaydon, Bayka, and Malie Donn.

Teejay follows up the EP release with the official Music Video for “Dip” featuring Tommy Lee Sparta. The Lagikz Supreme-directed visual brings out the Dancers, and is a great addition to the EP’s release, as it quickly became a hit since its release as a single a few weeks ago. Get ready to drift, dip, and hold a vibes with the Uptop Boss.
