.@TheRoyalBlu Builds On His Star Power With @JLLProd Produced, “Hype”!


Slowing down is something that you can’t find rising Recording Artist Royal Blu doing anytime soon. While he has been making moves over recent years, 2019 has been very promising so far. Since we’ve featured him as an Artist to watch, he has been adding fuel to his “El Fuego” alias and dropping nothing but fire. While we finally got the long anticipated visual for Meanwhile” with Leno Banton, he fed his hunger for more by popping up on various collabs, and dropping the “Style and Pattern” single and video (which boasts an all Jamaican production and raises the bar). Today, he goes up a few levels with the new track, “Hype“! Produced by longtime collaborator J.L.L. and released through Delicious Vinyl Island, Royal Blu fixes his crown and gets at naysayers who throw the term “hype” to his name as he’s more of a “hype with substance” type of person, and stays true to himself and those who know him. Many have stepped in his way to downplay his talent and determination, but frankly they’re not in his league, and he strives for quality and all that comes with it.

It’s a case of the “Damned if you do, damned if you don’t“, but Royal Blu doesn’t make much bother him as he sings to his own tune, and creates dope things. With an EP on the way to follow up his “sinG with God” project, if you didn’t know him before, now you know! With artwork provided by Ikem Smith, just stay tuned to see what else Royal Blu has rolled up his sleeve. For now, check out the track below and share with a friend.

Rosh Rebel Shows Off Some “Real Love” In New Single!


Recording Artist Rosh Rebel has been singing her way into the hearts of many in recent months. One of the Artists you should be paying attention to, the Mobay based Singer is aiming to expand her reach. While she gave lovers something to stay cozy with in February, the Kali Grn assisted “Incense & Scented Candles“, she follows up with her solo offering, a story of love called “Real Love“!

Produced by Verley Reid for IllTraxx Records, Rosh Rebel shares how her and her partner possess that real love. The song takes us through the stages of their relationship starting from the crush days, to going through years together and still keeping it strong. The single is for all the budding and established relationships out there, may they see many moments together. With her blend of Dancehall, Reggae, Jazz, and Pop styles, Rosh has been blessing listeners and fellow Artists with her unique sound (including one of our favourites, “Rude). Later this year however, she looks forward to giving us a body of work in the form of an EP titled, “ROSH“. Until then, check out the track below, and share with a friend.

.@DawnPennMusic & Tenor Saw Classics Featured In “See You Yesterday” Film!


Have you been watching any films lately? If so, have you seen the new Netflix movie, “See You Yesterday“? Directed by Stefon Bristol and produced by Spike Lee, the movie finds two best friends, CJ and Sebastian, (Eden Duncan-Smith and Dante Crichlow respectively) building Time Machines in an effort to reverse the unjustly death of CJ’s brother. While the Film aims to give you a lil Sci Fi fun, you might hear some familiar music in it. As a part of the Film’s soundtrack, the late Tenor Saw’s 1985 hit, “Ring The Alarm“, and Dawn Penn’s 1994 hit, “You Don’t Love Me (No No No)” were featured! “Ring The Alarm” was featured on the “Stalag Riddim” and released through Winston Riley’s Techniques label while “You Don’t Love Me” was a Dancehall remake of Dawn Penn’s 1967 single.

The soundtrack choices wouldn’t be the first time a Spike Lee production featured Caribbean music as his Netflix series “She’s Gotta Have It” featured Dancehall, Reggae, and Soca music (more on that here). “See You Yesterday” is now playing on Netflix, but you can check out the Trailer below and share with a friend.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Little Kirk – What’s Love Got To Do (1984)


In recognition of May being “Child’s Month“, Oldies Sunday will be highlighting a few child stars who made some noise in music. Today we go back to the 80’s with Recording Artist Little Kirk and his cover of the Tina Turner classic, “What’s Love Got To Do“! Produced by Winston Riley on the Stalag Riddim, this was released in 1984 and featured on the LP, “Original Stalag 17, 18, & 19“. Having gotten his start through the Sound systems in his early teens, Little Kirk could be found covering popular tracks with a dose of his distinct sound and delivery.

Since the release of “What’s Love Got To Do”, Little Kirk has went on to release numerous singles and albums, and became one of the main voices at the Patrick Roberts owned “Shocking Vibes” label along with his younger brother, Beenie Man. In recent years however, he has switched to releasing Gospel Music but still performs many of his previous singles when he’s on tour.

.@RealKvlar Tries To Find The “Formula” To Love In New Single!


Recording Artist Kvlar has been staying busy putting together some great music. While he gave us a favourite in 2018 with “It’s Yours”, his latest release “Formula” may just join it. Handling the production along with Salim Browne on Bass, Pau Dangla Valls and Oniel Dacres on Keyboards, Mark-Anthony Reid on Percussion, Shadeeka Daughma and Janoy Ellis on Guitars, and Jonathan Rankine on Drums, he directs the right sound to accompany the amazing vocals (with Ovasha Bartley providing backup) projected throughout this song as he tries to connect with someone who is in need of love.

Be on the look out for Kvlar as he will be performing at an event near you this Summer. Stay tuned to his Social Media for updates. In the meantime, check out the track below, and share with a friend! Show us some love/follow us on Twitter and Instagram at @13thStreetPromo.
