After leaving the Portmore Empire, many thought Black Ryno would’ve faded away from the Dancehall scene. In efforts to not fade away he was a part of Sting 2012 where things got ugly between he and former Gaza brethren Popcaan. In 2013 he redeemed himself on that stage by defeating Kiprich in a war of words. Since then the question has been, “What has Ryno been up to?” and he answered on Onstage. He spoke about the projects he has been working on, Sting 2012 and 2013, thoughts on the Vybz Kartel verdict and sentencing, why he left the Portmore Empire, defending his Clash title at Sting 2014, and previewed new music. Looking forward to hear more work from Black Ryno as he was one of the artists I’ve looked out from the Gaza camp.
Dropping off new music for the ladies tonight is Tommy Lee Sparta. Titled “Devil In Disguise” and produced by UIM Records, he speaks about a young lady who dances to his music sensually and he describes her as a “Devil in disguise“, details the bonds he has with her and how he spends time with her. Tommy is still working on being consistent with the music, and I’m not mad at that. Check out the track below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
