With rumors circulating about her supposed breakup with her husband and a song that had people talking, Tessanne Chin wants to clear the air once and for all on Onstage. Here she spoke on the status of her relationship with Michael Cuffe Jr and wanting the public to respect their privacy, her new single “Fire“, being better musically, her thoughts on her “Count On My Love” album and its reception, life after “The Voice“, giving credit to her parents who have played a huge part in her life and career, her partnership with her sisters, upcoming performances and more. Good to see that Tessanne is doing well despite all the gossip, and with her single burning up (no pun intended), I’m looking forward to more from Chinita Goodaz.

Up and coming artiste Marr, who is signed to the 10 Star Recording Label has released the first single to jump-start his career entitled ‘Stars of Wonder’. The reggae 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.
Marr, who grew up in Old Harbour, St. Catherine has been a victim to hardship and as such he describes the single as “heartfelt” and “real”. Deriving inspiration from the likes of Sizzla Kalonji and I-Wayne, Marr believed that his lyrics should speak to social commentary on Jamaican life and on topics of love and prosperity. He shared “I want to be remembered for doing foundation music, it is very important for me to make a positive mark in the music industry”.
With the feedback from the single ‘Star of Wonder’, Marr and his management team aim to shoot a video to compliment the single. It will be shot by Haynes Video Production and N.F.E Entertainment.“This video will depict exactly what the song speaks to and at the end of it I hope to deliver a clear message to those in authority, that Jamaica needs change” shared Marr.
In addition to the release of this video, 10 Star Recordz is working closely with the artiste to complete his first mix tape entitled ‘Rebellution’. This mix tape is a full hard hitting social commentary inspired by African consciousness and aims to uplift an “unconscious mind”.
Marr is set to release ‘Rebellution’ in June and his album ‘Artistic Connection’ later this year.
Recently, many have adapted the catchy lyric, “From Chicken Wing to Plane Wing” as a motivational quote. This line is from the bubbling hit, “Life Too Sweet,” Gully Bop and M-Gee’s first collaboration together. Based on the success of this single, the two have decided to go for a follow-up with the recording, “Blessing.”
“It has been a great learning experience working with Bop. He brings a lot of creative and visionary thoughts to the table. I truly appreciate the opportunity to work with him,” M-Gee emphasized.
The artiste explained that this new song, “Blessing” was inspired by some of what he has observed in today’s society, “The song is to motivate individuals to work hard for rewards, as opposed to indulging in illegal activities or begging. They want blessings, but they do not want to pray.”
M-Gee pointed out that, “individuals are hoping for a miraculous event to improve their life, often times they refuse to embrace the hard work associated with their expectations. These are the thoughts that created this new tune.”
“Blessing” is produced by GS Entertainment and will be available on iTunes soon. M-Gee also has several other fresh singles released such as, “Back Pocket Hail” with Dexta Daps and “Where is My Fren” featured on the compilation, “Jelly Wata Riddim”.
His team is currently organizing performances throughout the Caribbean and in the United States for an upcoming promotional tour. M-Gee says his current plans include expanding his portfolio, by working with various producers locally and internationally.
