It’s A Full Circle Moment For @TheRoyalBlu & @Protoje With “Life From Kingston” Release


The 2010s saw the rise of Reggae Artist Protoje, and he helped to usher in what some would call the “Reggae Revival“. His music not only connected with the people, but inspired others to want to be a part of the new music revolution. One of those aspiring Artists was Royal Blu. The Spanish Town native entered the scene with his own style, and built a following. He became a part of a new class, and he continues to keep his fire burning. This year, he looks to release his debut album, “Spain Root“. Recently, he fueled the rollout with the release of, “Life From Kingston“.

Produced by RiddimBoss and featuring Protoje, it’s a full circle moment for Royal Blu with the release of, “Life From Kingston”. Blu was one of a number of young Artists Protoje had under his wing, giving him guidance, and showcasing his talent to a new audience in the early years. One of those times was at the event called, “Live From Kingston” in the 2010s. There were times where they should’ve collaborated, but now is the right time for just that. The song speaks on the Artists’ history together, recognizing their respective journeys, and giving thanks as their have made their own impact on the world. The two would join forces in a Shane Creative-directed Music Video, and viewers familiar with both can finally witness them in their element on the new collaboration. Royal Blu’s “Spain Root” album is expected to drop on June 27, while we’re on the lookout for Protoje announcing a new album sometime this year.

Gimme A Riddim: 15 Producers You Need To Know!


You call them when you want to want a fire beat to go with your lyrics, they help you turn that song into the greatest thing someone has ever heard, they spend hours creating a masterpiece that sounds so good you’re not allowed to add your vocals to it. They are called Beatmakers, Riddim Gods, and more commonly, Producers! Artists can’t live without these people, and at times they don’t get a lot of respect. We at 13th Street Promotions recognize these creatives, and today you’ll get to know 15. Watch this space!

*These Producers are not ranked in any way.

1. Wavy Jones

Wavy Jones is a play on the name “Davy Jones”, but he also owns a locker filled with some dope beats! Whether flipping samples on “Locker 1 & 2” or dropping the bass on the Jeeby Lyricist, Blvk H3ro and Kione Zaire featured “100LBS”, Jones is a Producer to check for! Catch him on the next Hidden Fvces or Alpine Compound project!

2. Kone

Whether playing guitar as a part of “Di Vibe” or crafting beats, Kone (Koh Neh) should not be taken lightly. Having produced newcomer Yanah’s single, “The Cycle” and her “Believe In You” Freestyle, delivered the right Riddim with fellow Producer BoomDraw for Blvk H3ro & Leno Banton’s “Sky Dive”, expect to hear more of this creative this year!

3. Teflon Zincfence

He doesn’t call himself a “Riddim God” for nothing. You’ve enjoyed many of his productions that have been complimented with the vocals of Jamar McNaughton, and he has an arsenal ready to go toe to toe with the best of Producers. Having recently released the “Dub Policy EP”, he’s busy preparing his compilation project titled “Top Works Vol. 1” which will feature his ZincFence Records members Ulo, Jane Macgizmo, and Inezi. You can also hear his work on Chronixx’s “Chronology” album. Get familiar!
