Ninja Man & Specialist – “Dweet” (Video)
Great intro to tease the true meaning of this video with the new kid Specialist and the veteran Ninja Man. Dweet has good lyrics that try to answer the question about bridging the foundation with new talent in Jamaica. Big Up DownSound Records for always pushing the bar with promotions and marketing in the Caribbean and the US market.

Russian Interview (Producer/Artist)
This morning we talk to Russian the lead producer from Head Concussion Records and we find out how this ‘young-aged’ man has managed to stay in the league of successful professionals in Jamaica. He tells us about dealing with local artists trying to get signed to the label, the beginning of becoming an artist himself which included voicing a combination with Konshens. Russian credits the work ethic of himself and Vybz Kartel for their success thus far and salutes the other producers in the reggae industry who are also helping to keep ‘Reggae’ alive just as much as Dancehall.

Reggae/Dancehall: Honorebel – “Ravin and Clean” (Video)
Having launched his musical career in the late 90’s, Honorebel has found himself collaborating with Reggae legends such as Sly and Robbie, while infusing Hip-Hop Beats with producers like Scott Storch. Over the years, Honorebel’s music keeps morphing; hard to categorize, but easy to love. From Roots Dancehall to crunk Hip-Hop to techno-pop to pop-rock, Honorebel’s music has reached across audiences and across oceans (as far as Russia, where he performed live at the Russian MTV Video Music Awards in 2007 with Russian Pop Star, Julia Kova). Honorebel has already proven that he nor his music will be limited; and the Rebel in him comes through even in this club joint, “Ravin and Clean.” Click… and enjoy… and you’re welcome.

Jo Mersa – “Bad So” (Video)
I really support this new generation of artists that bring forward the ‘RAW’ style of djing (toasting). Jo Mersa is from the Marley line of artists, so while on the road touring he has picked up that suave persona that is sure to sell units. This track is also featured on the upcoming CY Evolution Dancehall Series #5…. BAMM!!
