Inspired by a classic hit from the 90s, RUSH pays tribute to the entertainment icon, Paula Abdul and features an infectious fusion of Anna Mariah’s breathy, sultry vocals on an uptempo Dancehall beat. Manager and Executive Producer of the project, Simone Harris states “We wanted a song that would channel Anna’s organic style – she’s a young, beautiful, Island girl who has real appeal and we felt that RUSH with this contemporary spin would do just that”.

Commenting on her first commercial release, Anna Mariah says: “It’s an overwhelming feeling…bordering on unbelievable, I am incredibly proud of my work on this track with Taddy P. We put a lot of hard work into RUSH as my first release, and I have a lot more to come”. Taddy P, who has been a mentor to Anna Mariah and who encouraged her to pursue her passion for music says: “It’s been great to watch Anna grow as an artist and to now work with her on her first single…it’s been a blessing all the way through”

The Wutang Clan is for the children, while Five Steez, Inztinkz, Nomad Carlos, and The Sickest Drama who make up “The Council” are for the Hip Hop heads.

Here they shed light on fake Rappers, show how sharp they are when it comes to the bars, and how their upcoming projects (Five Steez – Momentum Vol. 3 and The Council’s “Nothing Else Matters“) will separate them from the common folk and will be what you need to hear.

First they started out as the youth of the Dancehall/Reggae culture, now they’re parents with growing kids. It isn’t unusual for the child of an Entertainer to follow in their parent’s footsteps one way or the other as at times they bring a modern take on their parent’s creations, or create their own lane. Some of the most famous off springs include Stephen, Ziggy, and Damian “Junior Gong” Marley (Sons of Bob Marley), Chino and Di Genius (Sons of Freddie McGregor), Junior Tucker (Son of Jimmy Tucker), Morgan Heritage (Children of Denroy Morgan), Tarrus Riley (Son of Jimmy Riley), Queen Ifrica (Daughter of Derrick Morgan), Protoje (Son of Lorna Bennett), Chronixx (Son of Chronicle) and many more. Today in a few part series, I feature some of the new set of kids on the scene whose parents have covered much ground in their respective careers.
