OLDIES SUNDAY: Lennie Hibbert – Rose Len (1969)


It’s another “Oldies Sunday“, we’re ready to give you something that you’ve never heard before, but was a part of our great Jamaican musical history. For today’s selection, we go back in time to check out Musician Lennie Hibbert’s “Rose Len“.

Produced with “Sir Coxsone” Dodd and released through Studio One in 1969, Lennie Hibbert grabbed the Vibraphone, and created sweet music with, “Rose Len”. Backed by other Instruments, Hibbert gave us the type of music that you can sit in your easy chair with a glass in hand, swirling around some of the finest liquor in the collection, and enjoying a Cigar. “Rose Len” would be featured on Hibbert’s 1969 debut album “Creation“, which featured contributions from Musician Jackie Mittoo. “Rose Len” was sampled by the likes of Earl Sweatshirt and RZA, Ms. Dynamite, Wais P, Onyx, and Hollywood Dots The Onceler.

Since the release of “Rose Len”, Lennie Hibbert went on to make even more music. He was a Bandmaster at the Alpha Boys’ School where he started his musical journey as a youth, worked with the Sound Dimension band, produced with Harry Mudie, and even collected an Order of Distinction honour in the 1970s for his contributions to music. Lennie Hibbert passed away in 1984, leaving behind a legacy that influences many to this day. He has a hall named after him at the Alpha Boys’ School, and his sounds continue to show up around the world.

THANK YOU LENNIE HIBBERT FOR THIS TRACK!

.@DaleVirgo Turns Up The Tempo With “Sunset Blvd”


For a number of years, Jamaican-born/LA-based Producer Dale Virgo has provided the sound for many of your favourite Artists. Under his DZL Records, he has produced hits for the likes of Christopher Martin, Ce’Cile, Chronixx, and many others. Having taken his talents to the US in recent time, he has been experimenting with new sounds, and for his latest release, “Sunset Blvd“, he looks to capture the high energy crowd.

Dale Virgo leans into the EDM/House Music sound for his latest release, “Sunset Blvd”. Armed with Bass, Synths, Sonics, and great energy, Virgo is ready for the ravers, the party goers, and those who live life to the fullest with this new Instrumental. Inspired by living in the Los Angeles area, he has witnessed all walk of life, and looked to bring the energy from that to his production. He was also encouraged by fellow Producer/DJ Sizzle Hop to test his waters in new sounds, and the move looks to be a very fruitful one for him. Family is very important to Virgo, and while he knows his way around the boards, his Son Zayn, and Daughter Zahara had input on the production, and share co-production credits. We expect the Streamers to love this one, the Ravers worldwide to groove to this, and the world to open even more doors for Virgo to pursue even more.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Glen Brown – No More Slavery (1975)


Happy “Oldies Sunday“! In recognition of Emancipation Day on August 1st, we have a special selection for you. Going back a few decades, our Oldies Sunday selection comes from Recording Artist/Musician/Producer Glen Brown a.k.a. “God Son” with the track, “No More Slavery“.

Released through Dwyer Records in 1975, “No More Slavery” is an Instrumental release by Glen Brown. Leading with a Melodica, Glen plays notes that may have represented the uplifted moods and the joyous feeling of freedom when Emancipation was declared on August 1, 1838. “No More Slavery” was a part of a long list of tracks that Glen Brown created over the years, and is one of his much respected selections in various parts of the world. Glen Brown would find success in the 1970s, and contribute to many recordings from numerous Artists until he transitioned in October 2019.

Remember your roots! Emancipate yourselves from every form of Slavery!

Thank You Glen Brown For This Classic!

Salim "BruceLim" Brown x Robert "Dubwise" Browne - "My Mind = Made Up" on 13thStreetPromotions.com

.@SalimxBruceLim Rocks Out With Dad @RobertDubwise On “My Mind = Made Up”


Musician/Producer Salim “Brucelim” Browne like many musicians, has been channeling his feelings through his Instruments. The Bassist has been crafting beautiful sounds for quite some time, and may be the secret weapon you need in a Studio session. With a handful of releases showcasing his production prowess, he takes a task that finds him collaborating with an Icon. That person is legendary Musician/Producer Robert “Dubwise” Browne, also known as his Dad! Together they make a beautiful moment called, “My Mind = Made Up“.

Armed with their many analog and digital Instruments, Salim and Robert Browne give us the father/son tag team with a diverse range of sounds. Originally an Instrumental with an Artist in mind, Salim scrapped the idea after not seeing any progress, and extended the beat with the help of his Dad. If you like the production, you may want to reach out for a chance to rap/sing/deejay over the beat. The father/son dynamic is no stranger to the music scene, as we have seen collaborations with Vybz Kartel and his sons Likkle Addi and Likkle Vybz, Burro Banton and Leno Banton, Buju Banton with his sons Jahazeil and Markus Myrie, and most recently Tommy Lee Sparta and his son Skirdle Sparta. We hope this opens the door for more father/son collabs, and we look forward to more from Salim “Brucelim” Browne!

(Editor’s note: Big up the Browne family! Generations of talent. Check out this classic.)
