Reigning Dancehall star Gully Bop has dropped another music video, this time for a track called Miss ‘Hottie Hottie’, a collaboration with United Kingdom-based reggae artiste Dutch. Winford Williams presented the premiere clip via his Onstage weekly television series to overwhelming reviews.
Miss Hottie Hottie was recorded, produced, and filmed in England. Tony Ra of 2DMP directed the music video in London, while Gully Bop went on his first international tour. Dutch and Gully Bop had a reunion after not seeing each other for many years, resulting in a modern creation with a retro feel.
Dutch said: “Me and Bop go way back. It’s a good feeling to see him again and celebrate his success. We wrote and recorded the song in no time for Crazy Rock Music. This video is of an old-fashion vibe, even the wardrobe. The ska bass line and rhythms make it all magical.”Gully Bop is jubilant about the release. “This combination song with me and Dutch – deh song ya bad! This song yah name old-time something come back again. The real thing me a talk ’bout. Me a talk ’bout ska. Feel good to do real authentic music that a guh live on,” he said.

10 Star Recordz signed artiste Marr has been receiving increased online buzz since the release of his reggae single, ‘Stars of Wonder’. The single produced by 10 Star Recordz and Kapreno Production is on the ‘Other Day Riddim’ and it speaks to the harsh reality and struggle that Jamaicans face.
With his growing success, Marr has released the video for the single which was shot and directed by Haynes Video Production and N.F.E Entertainment. The video shot in areas of Old Harbour, St. Catherine and in Salt River, Clarendon features several supporters of the artiste. “As an upcoming artiste I treasure the support for my community and my fans elsewhere, it means a lot to me to hear my music out there” shared Marr.
In addition to his newly released video, Marr is set to release his first mix tape entitled ‘Rebellution’ which is a fusion of the word ‘Rebellious’ and ‘Revolution’ in July. This mixtape features 14 tracks and was inspired by the autobiography of Marcus Garvey, Haile Selassie and Malcolm X. Marr further described the singles featured as “hard hitting” and “conscious”.
The mix tape will feature singles such as ‘Stars of Wonder’ by Marr, ‘Please Prime Minister’ by Oska and ‘We a One’ by Zimbabwe artiste Saint Tee just to name a few. Marr is set to release his first album ‘Artistic Connection’ later this year.
If you caught last week’s Beenie Man Interview on Onstage, you know there’d be a follow up. Speaking his side of the story is Actor Garfield Reid a.k.a. “Bad Boy Trevor“. Here he spoke about his incident with Beenie Man, defending his character, his role in Dancehall and Dancehall events, and his acting career. It was only right Trevor defended himself on Onstage, let’s hope there is really a clean up in the Dancehall circles in the future.

Dropping new music today is recording artist, Major Myjah. Titled “Come Get Me” and featuring James Fauntleroy, this is a blend of great vocals and I really like the guitar in this laid back production. Described as a rough draft, I believe this would be a big song for the young artist. I look forward to the day he does something with his father. What do you think?
