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

Posted on by swadedavillain

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.

Zion Marley Rules His Destiny In “Best Of Me”

Posted on by swadedavillain

The Marley brand is one that transcends generations and genres. The Marley family is an organization that has tapped into various markets with much success. The new generation of Marleys, namely the grandchildren of Bob Marley, are busy branching out. From Zuri, to Skip, to YG, to King Cruff, to Mystic, there is a new wave of sounds that is making moves in various scenes. Enter Zion Marley, the latest name to emerge with music. The son of Rohan Marley and Ms. Lauryn Hill has a message to share, and it’s called, “Best Of Me“.

Released through Zion Marley Music, “Best Of Me” finds Zion Marley finding peace in the midst of turmoil, loving his enemies while acknowledging being betrayed by friends, keeping his head above the madness, knowing his worth and faith, and showing gratitude to the higher power. The track is expected to make an impact in the coming days, as the song promotes some of the same messages that his Mother, Grandfather, and other relatives have presented in their own music. The song is accompanied by a Music Video directed by Djuvii in Jamaica, and by Gabriel Twardowski in Brazil, and viewers can feel some of that peace that Zion channels through his music. The latest Marley to release music is next up to major stardom, and we will be hearing more from him in the future. Guard your heart in these crazy times.

.@JahvyAmbassador, Alkaline Take #1 Spot With “Dangerous Youth”

Posted on by swadedavillain

No matter what the detractors may say, Dancehall Music is still a dominant force. It continues to be a global phenomenon thanks to the many Ambassadors of the genre, and will stay that way for years to come. Dancehall Producer Jahvy of Tru Ambassador Ent. has been a dedicated representative of the culture, and he has enjoyed a vast amount of success over the years. He recently celebrated another milestone thanks in part to Dancehall Artist, Alkaline.

Recently, Jahvy and Alkaline teamed up for the single, “Dangerous Youth”. Another entry in the list of collaborations they have together, “Dangerous Youth” finds the Deejay in his element as one of Dancehall’s big names over solid production. The collaboration quickly gained traction on music streaming platforms, climbing to over 100,000 views on Youtube in just hours. Strong support for the single was expected, but it further solidified its place by taking the #1 spot on the iTunes Reggae Singles chart. The move was deemed monumental as it towered over Bob Marley’s classic single, “Three Little Birds”, Stephen Marley’s “You Don’t Know How It Feels”, iNi Kamoze’s “Here Comes The Hotstepper”, Shaggy’s “Angel” and “It Wasn’t Me”, and Jimmy Cliff’s “I Can See Clearly Now”. Jahvy shared his accomplishment on Social Media with the caption, “#1, doh get e figure wrong”, and shouting out Alkaline as collaborator, and longtime friend.

Jahvy continues to keep his Tru Ambassador Ent. Ship sailing, and with the success of Dancehall Artist 450, and Producers Week.Day and Falconn under his management, there is a lot more ground for him to conquer. He has hinted at a number of developments to come via his Social Media platforms, and he urges fans to stay tuned.

Jahvy and Alkaline’s “Dangerous Youth” is out now on all digital music streaming platforms.
