Recently Deejay Shabba Ranks made a visit to Jamaica but during his short stay he managed to do what he hasn’t done locally in decades…record music. Traveling with a mob in Half Way Tree, Winford Williams managed to catch Shabba to speak on a few things. Here Shabba spoke about being in Jamaica to celebrate Mother’s Day, recording in Jamaica for the first time in many years, visiting his old communities, his views on Dancehall recently including the conviction of Vybz Kartel, family life, and possibilities of performing in Jamaica again. Good to see Shabba still doing his thing and his new single sounds great from the preview that was provided. Get together that “Gorilla Money” promoters.

Today’s new music comes from the SubKonshus CEO, Konshens. Titled “Don Daddy (SuperCat Style)” and produced by Shane Brown on the “Greatest Creation Riddim“, Konz pays tribute to Deejay SuperCat and his 20+ year old song, “Don Dada“. Konz borrowed a little of SuperCat’s flow over this production where he spoke about being a champion, his start in the music business, name drops his SubK team, and also shows respect to the foundation deejays like Lady Saw, Josey Wales, Bounty Killa and Shabba Ranks. Great effort here, It would be cool to hear a remix of this with the Don Dada himself. Check out the track below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
While many prepare for the day’s activities on Labor Day, some are “laboring” as we speak. Tonight, a new Vybz Kartel single may just be the spark to help out with tonight’s “toil“. Titled “Tun Back Way” and produced by Markus Records on the “Sex Mate Riddim“, we hear Vybz speaking on how he wants his lady to entice him and thrill him with various moves. Just when people thought there was an end, more Kartel songs keep popping up. I’m not mad at that. Check out the track below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
Since tomorrow is a public holiday for many, why not “turn up” from now with RSNY and Christopher Martin’s newest single. Titled “Bout To Turn It Up” and produced by Ranch Entertainment, RSNY and Chris speak on how they’ll be partying away the nights, enjoying moments with their friends and living life to the fullest. Not a bad effort here and it does sound like it will be an anthem for many party goers soon. Oh what a feeling! Check out the track below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
Today’s new video comes from the combination of Major Lazer and Sean Paul.

Very clean video here as the performers keep you glued to the screen while song keeps you moving. Off
