Titled “One Phone Call” and produced by Rvssian for Head Concussion Records, Vybz drops this one for the ladies as he states “Me deh deh fi you (I’ll be there for you)” and whenever his lady needs him he’s one phone call away. Vybz Kartel continues to flex his versatility in his music, even while incarcerated. Look out for his new project to hit the streets soon!

Recently, the Estate of the late Peter Tosh released a petition in efforts to have the Jamaican Tourist Board and the Government of Jamaica register The Peter Tosh Memorial Garden a National Historic Landmark. The Museum, located in Belmont, Westmoreland, was erected to preserve the life and legacy of the late Musician and original member of The Wailers. The Estate believes that recognizing the Museum as a Historic Landmark will protect it for generations as Tosh was an advocate for the legalization of Marijuana, fought for Equal Rights, and further expanded Jamaica’s Music and Culture.
Peter Tosh was born in Grange Hill, Westmoreland in 1944 and was known as a Musician, Reggae Artist, and Activist. He was a core member of The Wailers along with the late Bob Marley and Bunny Wailer where he received much success before embarking a solo career. He has collaborated with the likes of Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones and recorded many great songs including “Stepping Razor“, “Legalize It“, “Johnny B Goode“, and penned songs such as “Get Up, Stand Up” and “400 Years” for The Wailers. Peter Tosh died on September 11, 1987 as a result of a home invasion. He was posthumously awarded the Order Of Merit in October 2012.

Recently, US Rapper/Chef Action Bronson took to a trip to Jamaica. Known for his love of the Jamaican music, food and culture, he filmed an episode of his popular “F**k That’s Delicious” series there. During his time here, he also recorded a few tracks including today’s “Mr. 2 Face“. With guest appearances by fellow Rapper Meyhem Lauren and Reggae Artist Jah Tiger, Bronson and Meyhem traded bars while Jah Tiger breathed new life into an old track (unsure of the date he recorded it). An interesting collaboration from the trio as they mix Hip Hop with some good Reggae and deliver a chill vibe. You can catch Bronson, Meyhem and Jah Tiger in the latest episode of “F*ck That’s Delicious” on Viceland this week. Off Bronson’s upcoming “Blue Chips 7000” Mixtape, check out the track below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
The Dancehall Dark Angel and Spartan General Tommy Lee Sparta is back with a brand new visual. Titled “Soul Reaper” and directed by Pang Pang, Tommy gives viewers a glimpse into his world while dropping dark lyrics about making “duppies” and name dropping various communities in Jamaica that make it their practice. One thing that I liked about Tommy Lee Sparta was that in the past couple years he was dropping music videos at a reasonable pace. I hope this year sees more of them.
