PRESS RELEASE
In celebration of International Weed Day, more popularly known as 4/20, Blvk H3ro presents THC (The Herb Connoisseur), a musical project dedicated to the Holy Herb.
“It is a joy to share THC with my brethren in these times of Gideon,” says Blvk H3ro, “this project aims to satisfy the craving for upliftment and higher meds at this moment in our story”.
This eclectic collection of next-generation Jamaican music is released one year after the decriminalization of Ganja in Jamaica, but after decades of oppression for those defiant of the regime.
“THC will give you a different vibration and make you look at Herb differently,” he says, “too many people have suffered under the system and I forward in this time to bring a lickle joy, inspiration and creativity, so mek we bussweh!”
The Weedp has original compositions by Blvk H3ro and productions by The Grei Show, BoomDraw & Kone, JLL and Greatest. The project also features Lord Leno (son of Burro Banton). Majority of the project was recorded at Equiknoxx studios and additional mixing and mastering done by Shotta Biggs & Kris-Karz
Blvk H3ro now joins the ranks of his idols Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Sizzla Kalonji, and their diverse musical influences can be felt throughout the WeedP.
The THC Project will be officially released at Nanook, 20 Burlington Avenue, on April 20 (4/20) along with the exciting music video for ‘Herb’.
Jamaican Rapper Vindon premiered his 2020 EP earlier this year and showcased that he’s still an Artist to be on the look out for. Today, frequent collaborator and Producer SOS Dynamikz unleashes an alternate version of the EP’s 3rd track titled “Boss Level“. Previously produced by Vindon (as V!N!GMA), SOS puts his spin on the already banging track and brings it to more ears. With a long track record, these two never disappoint. Get the EP today and be on the look out for more from Vindon and SOS Dynamikz. Check out the track below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
Recently, US Rapper/Chef Action Bronson took to a trip to Jamaica. Known for his love of the Jamaican music, food and culture, he filmed an episode of his popular “F**k That’s Delicious” series there. During his time here, he also recorded a few tracks including today’s “Mr. 2 Face“. With guest appearances by fellow Rapper Meyhem Lauren and Reggae Artist Jah Tiger, Bronson and Meyhem traded bars while Jah Tiger breathed new life into an old track (unsure of the date he recorded it). An interesting collaboration from the trio as they mix Hip Hop with some good Reggae and deliver a chill vibe. You can catch Bronson, Meyhem and Jah Tiger in the latest episode of “F*ck That’s Delicious” on Viceland this week. Off Bronson’s upcoming “Blue Chips 7000” Mixtape, check out the track below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
Spring is in the air, and with a new season comes a new mixtape from 1NE Don Sound founder DJ Supadon. Titled “Panda 6ixteen“, Supa provides almost 30 minutes of some of the latest Hip Hop, Pop, Dancehall, and EDM mixes and remixes. Something for the Gym session, the lunch break, the morning pick me, or just when you want something to bounce to, Supadon is a DJ you need. Check out the mix below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
Last night, Detroit Rapper Royce Da 5’9″ premiered his “Trust The Shooter EP” with fans rejoicing. With a 12 track set, many were prepared for deadly bars. What we didn’t expect was “Rap On Steroids“, a track that features Philly’s own Black Thought…and Jamaica’s own Agent Sasco! Produced by Jahlil Beats, Royce delivers hard punches to the gut, Black Thought sends jabs to the ribs and Sasco delivers the uppercuts with his Dancehall delivery. A surprise to many as Sasco has been making moves on the low over the years, although I wish he dropped 16 or even 32 bars. Maybe Royce has a few tricks up his sleeve on his upcoming “Layers” album. Hear more of Agent Sasco here. In the meantime, check out the track below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
