Today’s Oldies Sunday selection comes from Reggae Musician, Errol Dunkley. Titled “Black Cinderella“, this was produced by Jimmy Rodway for Fe Me Time Records in 1972.

The EP is a collection of Audio-Visual pieces that interprets the works of the Musician, Producer and Artist. Titled “Who Knows Dub“, this piece was inspired by the duality of inner peace and anxiety. If you’re not familiar with Taj Francis, he is the person behind the artwork for Protoje’s albums, Green Lion Crew’s “Rough Road”, and many more.

Premiering a new song today in the form of a lyric video is Reggae artist, Protoje. Titled “Stylin‘”, this was directed by Yannick Reid with shots by Nickii Kane, Art Direction by Taj Francis and features Kandi King. Great song here with a visual that is pleasing to the eye. A part that I really enjoyed was Protoje’s use of the Talk Box in the chorus. Enjoy the visuals, sing the lyrics and look out for Protoje’s 3rd studio album “Ancient Future” which is scheduled to be released in 2015.
