They say you can put them physically behind bars, but the mind stays free, and Dancehall Artist Shawn Storm is an example of that. Currently facing time with fellow Deejay Vybz Kartel, he aims to keep his name current until the possibility of freedom. He does so with the release of the “Word Sound Power” project. Featuring 12 tracks, Shawn Storm’s catalogue is put to work in the streets while the Deejay maintains his outlook behind bars. Never a slouch when it comes to music releases, we get plenty previously unreleased tracks that showcases a talent that was undeniable. The project was produced by Kwashawna Records, and is one of many releases we can expect from Storm, as his mentor is also staying busy with the music, despite his current situation.

The album will be available exclusively to Apple Music subscribers on June 3rd, the same day the third instant gratification track, “Colouring This Life”, will be offered in the iTunes store. Apple Music will offer exclusive streaming one week before the album is available for download on June 10th , a service usually reserved for major label artists and a great honour for a Jamaican artist. iTunes will be supporting the album through special marketing and promotions in a manner they don’t typically do for Reggae/Dancehall.
“King of the Dancehall” contains never before released tracks from Vybz Kartel, all recorded by the prolific Artist before his incarceration. The tracks have been carefully completed by renowned Producer Linton “TJ” White of TJ Records, with whom Kartel has established a solid working relationship over the years. Kartel says, “We’re imploring the fans to go out and support the album, not just for Vybz Kartel’s sake, but for the sake of DANCEHALL. Let’s show the world we can still pull some big numbers in our genre too”.
