OLDIES SUNDAY: Baba Dread – Ladder Of Progress (1981)


Today, we give you our final “Oldies Sunday” selection for 2025. As we venture into 2026, we want to wish our readers/viewers all the best for the new year, and let’s make some good things happen. With that said, today’s entry comes from Baba Dread f.k.a. Zimbabwe Dread with the track, “Ladder Of Progress“.

Produced by Roy Cousins and released through Kingdom Records in 1981, it’s all about making good things happen in life in Baba Dread’s “Ladder Of Progress”. With a toasting/Deejaying style that ruled the scene, Baba provided words of motivation for the listener, with messages of striving when times are rough, having faith in trying times, and moving forward with good intentions. “Ladder Of Progress” was featured on the 1981 album, “Earthman Connection” (which was re-released in 2011 through Tamoki-Wambesi-Dove), Baba’s only album. “Ladder Of Progress” was received well with listeners, and over the years gained love in more parts of the world.

Thank You Baba Dread For This Track!

Jamal Wants To “Talk Money” In 2026


It’s Boxing Day and Kwanzaa in parts of the world, but many are focused on “Money” for 2026. For Dancehall Artist Jamal, that’s every day for him, and the more he makes, the better for him. When he doesn’t want to speak in English, he wants to “Talk Money“.

Produced by HMP Music/Josh Skull Records, Jamal has his sights set on riches and more in, “Talk Money”. With the year he has been having, he’s not slowing down his run, and we can expect him to do even more come 2026. With a video directed by Dario Magix, Jamal is so focused on the money that he’s having dinner with it, making major purchases, converse about it with his people, and even making it a News item. 2025 was definitely the Deejay’s year, and we’ll be watching to see him maintain his presence, the 39 way. 1Dunceman.

.@MarkJGolding Rings In The Holidays With “Someday At Christmas” Cover


First off, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to our readers, viewers, subscribers, and connoisseurs of music. May the holidays bring some joy, some good times, and help to repair wounds and bonds. What better way to celebrate the holidays than to share a performance? We know Ministers of Government and Politicians rule the stage with talking points, but what about those who have other talents? Leader of the People’s National Party (PNP) Mark J. Golding, MP was never afraid to share his talents, and today delivers, “Someday At Christmas“.

Covering the 1967 classic by Stevie Wonder, Mr. Mark J. Golding spreads some holiday love with a performance of, “Someday At Christmas”. Emphasizing that the word is “Love”, Golding is joined by fellow Singers including Duane Stephenson to share something that is beyond political aspirations. While many still aren’t feeling the holiday spirit, we hope today is the start for many to regain it come Christmas 2026. We send love to those who are missing someone special today, those who are on the job, those who have lost hope, and those who still believe, may there be even for a moment some smiles, and love. All the best for the holidays.

Yesterday (Dec. 23), Dancehall Lyricist Skillibeng celebrated his birthday. With a new year here, expect a lot more greatness from the mind of Skilli. 2025 found him in more places, collaborating with high profile acts, and expanding his brand to even more markets. As a part of his birthday celebrations, he shared the video for, “City“.

All the best to the “E Syde” Lyricist on his new year, and may he see many more. Don’t size up wid Skilli.

Shane O Aims For Better In “I Smile”


It feels good when things are going well in life. Sadly for some of us, when things are going well, there is always some force that aims to bring down our progress. For Dancehall Artist Shane O, he’s enjoying life, but remains cautious for when things may get shaky. He speaks on things in, “I Smile“.

Produced by 368Leoz on the “Lockheart Riddim“, Shane O gives thanks for the positive things happening, even when evil lurks around the corner in, “I Smile”. With a video directed by Opus Mercury, the Deejay is seen enjoying life with the people who mean the most to him. The video also shows some of the lengths others may go to steal your joy, and hinder your positive journey. Shane O stays prepared for when things go left, but he is all about making his life better, and take care of those around him. His success will make the haters mad. The Deejay’s musical output has been consistent this year, and we can look forward to even more in 2026. Keep smiling.
