The music scene in Canada is just one big melting pot. With influences from Hip Hop, Pop, Reggae, EDM, Afrobeat, and Dancehall to name a few, it’s not a surprise when your favourite act knows the lingo from your music culture. Today, Nemesis, Rizzlaa, and Chillaa are all about their dream girls, mainly Rihanna. Titled “Bad Gal Like RiRi” and produced by Chillaa, we hear them speak on the qualities their ideal women should have and are on the hunt for her.

Upcoming Artiste Pritty Di General has gained a much needed buzz with the recent video of Shelly Belly going viral. The clip was shot on set of Pritty’s video shoot from his collaboration with Dancehall artiste Pamputtae known as ‘Siddung’. The 15 second video clip shows Shelly Belly and two women in the popular ‘6:30’ posture while he gyrates on them simultaneously while doing his signature chain-swinging dance known as ‘Circle the Globe’.
The clip was also reposted by popular rap artiste 50 Cent who is known to be quite popular for his social media rants. “Shelly Belly is always doing his signature dances in videos and at parties but I am glad that this particular video went viral as it also opened a gate way for my music”, said Pritty. The recording artiste shared that he is even more excited about releasing the actual video for the collaboration which was shot by Robert Cooper at Hellshire Beach in St. Catherine.
Prior to this collaboration Pritty Di General released his single titled ‘Montego Bay’. The single was a success and became an anthem to many Jamaicans living in America. He received air play locally and internationally and is now eager to start his promotional trail in Jamaica. For more updates on his progress fans can follow Pritty Di Genreral on Insagram @Upcgeneral and listen to his music on his YouTube Page, Pritty Di General.
Rihanna had “Navy” Twitter in a frenzy when she released her 8th studio album, “Anti“. With a first single featuring Drake titled “Work“, Acmatic’s own Plateface decided to add some touches to the Boi1da produced track. Here he gave it a more Dancehall feel to compliment Rihanna’s delivery. This version sounds like something that if Rihanna’s people are watching (crosses fingers), they could use in a Jamaican street dance themed music video. Loved the original?

With an album on the way, Recording Artist A-Game drops a new anthem for all the go getters! Titled “Rise Up Now” and produced by SoundCheq and Vern Hill, A-Game encourages listeners to get up and work for what you want so that the rewards are sweeter in the end. If you’ve been following A-Game, you could call this song a part 2 to “A-Game Everyday” as he drops very dope motivational music. With an awesome production that compliments this single, this is a taste of what’s to come on his “Real N True” album that’s slated to drop in February.

I have my brother to thank for my full on re-introduction to Hip Hop. I have found myself pausing from my Soca binges to take in the occasional Hip Hop mix and this one by DJ Kam Bennett from Minnestoa is definitely a go to for me. He masterfully takes you through 2015’s best offerings.
