.@BlvkH3ro, @OfficialWayneJ, & @Skillibeng Boss Up Together On The “Young Boss (Remix)”


Blvk H3ro and Wayne J believed they found a hit when they released their “Young Boss” collab earlier this year. With the track receiving steady airplay and a music video doing well, it was only right they gave the single even more life. With that in mind, they recruited one of Dancehall’s newest wordsmiths in Skillibeng for the “Young Boss (Remix)“!

With Bouchard F. Olivier and Dennis “Greatest” Hamilton’s production still doing its thing here, the trio joined forces to give a song that continues to motivate the youth to get on their grind, and make amazing things happen in the world. With the wordplay from “Mr. Universe“, the melodies from “The Immortal Steppa“, and the energy from the new “Youngest Veteran“, speakers everywhere will be pounding the “Young Boss (Remix)” for a long time to come.

Thanks to our 13th Street Visuals department, we have an exclusive Visualizer for “Young Boss (Remix)”! Check it out below, and share with a friend. Show us some love/follow us on Twitter and Instagram at @13thStreetPromo.

@OfficialWayneJ Shines As Ambassador At United Nations Conference In Germany!


Recording Artist Wayne J may have gained a buzz thanks to being one of the brightest youngest Deejays in the past few years, but he also wants to make a positive change in the world. Recently, the Youth Ambassador of the Alligator Head Foundation represented Jamaica as a member of the COP23 Jamaica Delegation at the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) Conference in Bonn, Germany. Invited through a collaboration between the United Nations and Australia’s TBA21 Academy, Wayne J served as the youngest member at the Conference which gathered over 30,000 people from all over the world to share and develop new ideas in order to meet the goals of the Paris Climate Change Agreement.

During his visit and presentation, Wayne J delivered great points and make it clear that in moving forward “Everyone should have an understanding in how to approach the changes in our Planet”. The Ambassador added the importance of Conservation, and encouraged all in attendance to create more strategies in preserving and protecting the Earth. He is set to visit the Fiji Islands and other parts of the World as a part of his duties as Ambassador in the coming weeks.

While Wayne J has released a few singles this year and made a few appearances locally, he is set to continue making his Artist side be heard in 2018 with the singles “TOM” and “Better Days”. He is also working on an EP to drop sometime later next year.

Today’s Youth, Tomorrow’s Future: 8 Artists Who Started Out Young


In recognition of May being Child’s Month, 13th Street Promotions is dedicating this Oldies Sunday post to the youth. Many of us can look back at our own childhood when we’d imitate our favourite Artists and pretend we are established stars. What many may or may not know is that some of our favourites started out or even got discovered in their early stages. While we know that acts like the late US Pop Star Michael Jackson and Jamaican Singer Jimmy Tucker started out very young (Jimmy was Jamaica’s 1st Child Prodigy in the 1950s), we’d like to inform you or refresh your memory on some of our Caribbean acts who started out young.

1. Machel Montano (Debut Age: 9) – Too Young To Soca

2. Beenie Man (Debut Age: 8) – Too Fancy

Produced by Barcelona, Spain based King Horror Productions on the 67 Riddim, Wayne speaks on Crime and Violence activities in various communities, and warns the Murderers that what goes around, comes around if they don’t change their ways. Wayne continues to drop good music with subject matter that makes people think, and stay entertained. Be sure to catch him at an event near you. A Wayne J enuh! Check out the track below.
