Bringing forth a Jamaican Hip Hop single with a smooth production is Rapper Lxrd Ezzi. Titled “Price For Gold” and produced by JayEDGE, the Montego Bay based artist speaks on the sacrifices one has to make in order to fulfill their dreams and questions if it will be all worth it in the end. Something you can give a few spins on a nice afternoon, although I’d like to hear an alternate version that’s free of profanities. Look out for this upcoming artist as he aims to drop more recordings this year. Check out the track below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

This therapy needs no per hour charge. Today’s new music comes from High Tunez Gang member, TaZz. Titled “Back To My Therapy” with a militant sounding production by DopAntBeats, TaZz speaks on his mission, his crew, being the father of his style and wanting to punish those who steal it, and feeding his family. This is the first single off his upcoming “Product Of My Time” project. Something to smoke to and possibly crack a few skulls. the track’s artwork is a piece from Taiwanese/American Visual Artist, James Jean.

Considered an odd collaboration, today’s new music comes from UK Producer Jamie XX, Dancehall artist Popcaan and Rapper Young Thug. Titled “I Know There’s Gonna Be (Good Times)“, this is a single that celebrates life and enjoying it to the fullest over some very wonderful production and samples that add to the theme. For those who aren’t familiar with Jamie XX, he’s the producer behind the late Gil Scott-Heron’s “I’ll Take Care You” which was sampled for Drake’s “Take Care” single. An odd combo but a great listen from the three different artists. Check out the track below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
Recording artiste Elad Gideon showcases his raw and militant style with the release of his new single ‘Wile Life’. The song produced by himself, Douglas Flannigan and Farel Richie was released on SoundCloud recently. The highly anticipated single, is a tribute to resilient Jamaicans who have found themselves affected by the harsh realities of the society. Elad explained, “The people in our society have become almost beast like in order to survive their everyday struggles”.
Elad grew up in the town of May Pen, Clarendon. His stage name begins with his first name ‘Dale’ being reversed to spell ‘Elad’ and then coupled with the Hebrew word Gideon that means ‘Mighty Warrior’. His name highlights his calculated, militant, rebellious and nonconformist personality that he fervently portrays through his music. Elad’s music is packaged and presented on a live music platform and is an unorthodox fusion between reggae, dancehall, hip hop, and some alternative rock/RnB influences. Elad added, “My music is limitless. It is not restricted to any one genre but is rather a mixture of all the genres of music that I love. My music also speaks to those relatable topics, thoughts and ideas that are rarely highlighted in Jamaican music.”
The ‘Wile Life’ artiste has also produced singles such as ‘Just Life’ and ‘The Worst’, both of which are now available on his SoundCloud profile, www.soundcloud.com/eladgideon. Elad is set to start his promotional trail for ‘Wile Life’ and is eager to premiere its video. The video will be shot and released this summer.
