@BugleAn9ted Celebrates Birthday, And Shares “History”!


Reggae/Dancehall Artist Bugle is ready to make this year become one filled with great moments, making unforgettable connections, and creating a bigger impact with his music and message. The Deejay celebrates another year of life on January 30, and we wish him nothing but blessings upon blessings. Making his day even more special, he gives us the new single called, “History“.

Produced by MJ Music Management, Bugle continues on his path of providing music with strong lyricism and delivery, and presenting a few messages throughout. Bugle reflects on his life and journey, and recognizes some of those who have been a part of the growth and stages of his life. The Deejay saw the shift he made with his “Toxicity” album last year, and is continuing to release music that opens up the floor for intelligent discussions, and bring a positive change on the music scene. The “History” single is accompanied by a music video that’s directed by KhingCam, and features a few people who have been a part of Bugle’s growth including DASECA Productions that comprises of brothers Craig and David Harrisingh, and Dancehall Artist/Producer Serani. Bugle became DASECA’s flagship Artist in 2007, and made a few hits with the label. The book’s not closed on Bugle, history is still being made. Look out for more Bugle this year. Dweet we a dweet!

.@DamianMarley Shares The History Of Virginia Key Beach In “Life Is A Circle” Video


Reggae Music has always been something that entertains, but it also seeks to educate fans as well. Known for dropping lyrical selections but also delivering knowledge and conscious music, DamianJunior GongMarley continues to do just that. Today, we check out the video for the single, “Life Is A Circle“.

Directed by B+ and shot in Miami, Florida, Junior Gong not only gives us a performance of his single, but schools us on the history of the Virginia Key Beach (the video’s true location) which was Miami’s first “Colored Only” Beach which welcomed Black people and other marginalized communities. We learned that the Beach was possible due to many protests, and over the years faced closures until it was considered an ecological treasure and re-opened for good in 2008. Always something of high quality when it comes to Junior Gong, a living legend.

Discovered What? We look Back At Burning Spear’s “Columbus” (1980)


We wanted to drop this yesterday on “Oldies Sunday“, but didn’t get to. While today many Americans recognize “Columbus Day“, many folks have done their revision on World History over the years, and have since challenged the higher ups to discredit the “Discoveries” of Christopher Columbus and recognize the day as “Indigenous Peoples Day“. While the European Explorer made his travels with the Pinta, Nina, and Santa Maria, he couldn’t have discovered land that was already occupied. Calling him out on the claims is Reggae Icon Burning Spear with “Columbus“!

Released in 1980, and featured on his Album “Hail H.I.M.“, Spear calls out Columbus as a “Damn blasted liar” and sets the record straight on what the Explorer really did. He didn’t discover Jamaica or all the lands he has claimed to discover! What happened to the Arawak people? What happened to the black people that were already here? Why are they still celebrating this man? There have been protests for years, and there will be more until the day is more recognized for Indigenous People (big up the 55 cities in the US that have made the change). Stay woke! Have a listen to the tune below.
