Dropping something special is Reggae artist, Yung JR. Titled “No Tomorrow” and directed by Adoney Reid, JR sings about insecurities which resulted in losing the love of his life. In the video he hops on his bicycle in attempts to search for her all over town so they can mend their relationship. A great effort here visually and a nice single that you can kick back and play on a cool afternoon. Off his upcoming “Start The Movement” EP, check out the video below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
Up and coming artiste Marr, who is signed to the 10 Star Recording Label has released the first single to jump-start his career entitled ‘Stars of Wonder’. The reggae single, produced by 10 Star Recordz and Kapreno Production, is on the ‘Other Day Riddim’ and it speaks to the harsh reality and struggle that Jamaicans face.
Marr, who grew up in Old Harbour, St. Catherine has been a victim to hardship and as such he describes the single as “heartfelt” and “real”. Deriving inspiration from the likes of Sizzla Kalonji and I-Wayne, Marr believed that his lyrics should speak to social commentary on Jamaican life and on topics of love and prosperity. He shared “I want to be remembered for doing foundation music, it is very important for me to make a positive mark in the music industry”.
With the feedback from the single ‘Star of Wonder’, Marr and his management team aim to shoot a video to compliment the single. It will be shot by Haynes Video Production and N.F.E Entertainment.“This video will depict exactly what the song speaks to and at the end of it I hope to deliver a clear message to those in authority, that Jamaica needs change” shared Marr.
In addition to the release of this video, 10 Star Recordz is working closely with the artiste to complete his first mix tape entitled ‘Rebellution’. This mix tape is a full hard hitting social commentary inspired by African consciousness and aims to uplift an “unconscious mind”.
Marr is set to release ‘Rebellution’ in June and his album ‘Artistic Connection’ later this year.

Dropping it like it’s hot for the fans is Jamaican recording artist, Tessanne Chin! Titled “Fire” and produced by Florida’s J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, who have worked with Rick Ross, T-Pain, and Mary J. Blige to name a few, Tessanne turns up the tempo and goes old school soul on this selection. Here she promotes self worth and empowerment over a funky production that encourages some serious moves on the dance floor. Expect this one to burn up the airwaves, and no need for gloves as picking this single up won’t burn your fingers. Loving this from “Chinita Goodaz“. Available on iTunes tomorrow so make sure you get it for your daily playlist. Check out the track below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
