With a career spanning over 30 years, Maxi Priest was one of acts who had a brilliant run with fusing Reggae Music with R&B. Tonight on a special edition of Onstage, Winford Williams had a chat with the artist. Here he spoke on his upbringing in the UK, his love for music and his influences, challenges he has faced growing up and during the start of his career, how his first hit came about and being the first British Reggae act to score a #1 in the US, stardom locally and internationally, and many more. Great interview here as we get to look at Maxi’s background and journey through his extensive career. He also premiered a new music video for his “Easy To Love” single. Such a great artist.

Today’s new video comes from Andrew Trabass and Lincoln 3Dot. Titled “FAME” and directed by Dante Hillmedo, we hear the artists speaking on fame and all that comes with it and see them being shot in various locations. Not a bad effort here as the song is already good and I like that clips from them being at events were shown. Do it for the VLOG!

After premiering the remix last year, Lady Saw and Flo Rida finally released the video treatment for their collaboration. “Heels On (Remix)” was directed by Evan Winter and shows alot of sensuality between various couples while Saw and Flo tell you how they want to love and be loved. A great effort here as the video has a white, gold and black theme to go along with the sensuality. Will Lady Saw make another banger like “Heels On” this year?

With a mix of Reggae and Hip Hop comes the collaboration between Hip Hop duo Smif-N-Wessun and Jahdan in the form of a lyric video. Titled “Kamikaze“, a single off Smif-N-Wessun’s Reggae inspired “Born and Raised” EP, they speak on how they live their everyday lives while Jahdan handles the hook duties over a Reggae tinged instrumental. Not a bad effort from the artists, hopefully they release a real video for this single. Smif-N-Wessun aren’t new to the Reggae scene as they’ve collaborated with Bounty Killa under the moniker “Cocoa Brovaz” for the classic “It’s A Party“. 
Showcasing their lyrical prowess is the combo of Villanaire (Byrd Villain), Strykk and Zhem in this new music video. Titled “As Well” and directed by Steven Bernard, we see the artists play on the phrase “As Well” to big up various communities, highlight some of their activities, social issues and let you know how great they are on the microphone. Great effort from these three acts, definitely ones to look out for this year. Steven Bernard also provided a clean video “As Well“. What do you think?
