Romeich is cooking up something special with his major artists.
We’ve heard many hits from the dancehall artists in the Romeich Entertainment camp before, but we are yet to hear them all together on one track. While many fans enjoy the occasional Shenseea song, Teejay tune, or Ding Dong dance track, a joint-record with all three Romeich Entertainment artists is yet to be released.
Romeich Major, head of the label, announced the upcoming collab on Instagram this week, unveiling the cover art for the new single. In the caption, he wrote, “Something special gonna happen very soon!!!!! @uptopboss_official × @dingdongravers × @shenseea × @romeichentertainment New song coming!!!!! Guess the name of it?????”
In the post, all four artists, including Romeich, are clad in color-coordinated fits but posed individually in a shopped photo. It is yet to be confirmed if Romeich will actually be a part of the song or if he just has producer credit, but he did not leave his name out of the lineup, so I guess that means anything is possible here.
Iggy Azalea has clarified that her son’s father is very much still in his life after causing some confusion with her earlier statement.
The “Dance Like Nobody’s Watching” rapper had her fans assuming that Playboi Carti no longer played a role in raising their son Onyx after she declared on Instagram, “I’m raising my son alone.” The original post was followed by the words, “I’m not in a relationship,” which served to confirm that she and Carti had called it quits, ending their 2-year romance. But seeing as almost everything has the power to be misconstrued and misinterpreted on the internet, Iggy Azalea has since clarified what exactly she meant as far as the “@ Meh” rapper is concerned.
“Nothing I said was intended to make it seem like my sons father isn’t part of his life but I’ve noticed a lot of people took it that way, so I wanted to clear the air,” the 30-year-old wrote in her Insta Story. “Onyx is so so loved by his dad & has always had both parents in his life from day 1.”
Playboi Carti has so far remained silent on all the drama regarding his role as a father and boyfriend, but Iggy Azalea’s posts have made it seem as though the Georgia rapper is the one who caused their demise, writing on IG, “You lost a real 1!!!” She also vented about her former partner taking her loyalty for granted while calling him out for being a liar. She did not specifically state why they brokeup.
Amidst the breakup, Iggy took the opportunity to properly introduce her son to the world by posting the first photo of Onyx on her Insta.
The voice you hear speaking on the haunting first track of Skip Marley’s debut EP Higher Place is that of his legendary grandfather Robert Nesta Marley, who once went by the nickname “Skip” himself. “Is something higher,” Bob once said in a 1979 interview, seeking to explain the magnitude of a profound worldwide reckoning that he knows is coming. “Is something no man can stop.”
On the title track of his EP, which was released last week on Tuff Gong / Island Records, Skip sings of his own burning desire to go higher. So what is this higher place all about? “The betterment of mankind,” Skip explained during a recent telephone call from Miami. “A world community where each one do him part and live right and live upful as we should. And it nah go’ happen unless you make that decision today. Cause it start within you first. For yourself. And you have to take I and I higher, forward.”
During a year that’s brought so many downward vibrations, it’s more than a little bit refreshing to hear such optimistic energy. For the past five years, the singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist has made that sort of thing his specialty. “Music with a message is the music we love,” says Skip. “Good vibrations. Positivity. Conscious influence of the heart and the mind and the soul. Yeah. Blessed are the singers and the players. Can’t take this lightly.” When your mom is Cedella Marley, Bob’s firstborn child and a founding member of the Melody Makers, and your father’s aunt is Marcia Griffiths, one of Jamaica’s most revered singers and a member of Bob Marley’s harmony trio the I Three, taking music lightly isn’t really an option. Yet somehow Skip has found a way to carry the great expectations effortlessly, even as he holds himself to the highest standards.
George Nooks is facing cocaine charges again after getting an acquittal last year.
Jamaican recording artiste George Nooks is facing criminal drug charges in connection with an incident from April 2019. According to The STAR, the singer was arrested on Thursday in Kingston, Jamaica by the narcotics police. Nooks was charged for cocaine possession and attempting to pervert the course of justice to which he pleaded not guilty in the Kingston and St. Andrew Parish Court on Friday (October 23).
During the incident from which the charges stem last year April, the entertainer allegedly stashed a bag of powdery substance when he was being approached by a group of police officers who were reportedly carrying out a narcotics investigation. Nooks was searched and a bottle containing “a clear liquid substance” was reportedly seized as well as the bag with the white substance retrieved.
When he was taken into custody and being processed at the narcotics division, George Nooks reportedly snatched the bag, swallowed the substance, and “spat out the plastic.” He was taken to the hospital for treatment as well as for blood samples to be drawn, which was then sent for analysis at the Institute of Forensic Science and Legal Medicine along with the bottle of liquid and the plastic he coughed up.
While the singer was allowed to leave police custody while the investigation was underway, a file was soon compiled and submitted to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, which led to charges being brought against him. This time when George Nooks was arrested, he was granted bail in the sum of $300,000 (JAD). A part of his bail condition is that he checks in at a particular police station every week.
The entertainer is scheduled to appear in court for this case on January 13, 2021
Dancehallartiste Tashina McKenzie realised a teenage dream when she finally landed a collaboration with her dancehall idol Vybz Kartel.
“Imagine, being a die-hearted Gaza fan and bussing blanks for Vybz Kartel’s bad man song and a bubble to the gal song dem since I was a teenager, so just imagine how mi feel to be able to bubble pon my own song with the Worl’ Boss himself. This is a real dream come true,” Tashina said.
The single, entitled Best Love Ever, which is accompanied with an official music video, was released on the JB Productions label.
Mckenzie has been working towards this goal in her musical career. In March this year she signalled her intentions when she collaborated with dancehall youngblood Intence on Confessions.
Then she raised eyebrows with Don’t Test Me on the new Skool rhythm alongside Vybz Kartel, Sikka Rhymes, I Octane, Teejay and newcomer JB.
Vybz Kartel himself appeared to endorse the song with a post on his Instagram page.
“The video is blowing up all over IG, VEVO, and YouTube. My followers are going up, JB Productions is sending my career to the universe,” said Tashina, who is presently in the US, doing some hip-hop collaborations with Florida-based rappers.
Other songs to look out for include Inna the Shower, Pretty Pretty, and Independent, all of which have been released on the JB Productions label.
“I plan to release an EP later this year which will include dancehall as well as cultural reggae songs, such as I Rise, with a UK-based producer. I have a collaboration with Queen Ifrica, and one with Sizzla as well, so those songs will be on my EP,” she said.
Konshens delivered “Backaz” video despite controversies around it being too explicit.
Konshens releases the butt-filled risqué visuals for his track titled, “Backaz” and it is sure to render viewers awestruck. The Subkonshus boss teased a couple of semi-X-rated scenes from the video a couple of days ago, which sadly did not receive a favorable response from some of his ‘righteous fans’. The dancehall veteran figuratively gave that small lot ‘the finger’ and proceeded to release the music video today and his true die-hard ‘indecent’ fans happy.
“All of da gals av incredible bodies but the 1 in diamond bikini has amazin muscle definition wish me body look so good an love d song too,” wrote one viewer. Another further commented, “Look how them girl yah skin clean n pretty!! Jeezam ?? who a di one wid the hoop earrings and the tattoo pon har thigh? Oh my dayz, and the one inna the leopard print bikini. A it bredda, gyal dem mad up di vid a waaay.” What could be so inspiring and pleasing to the eye for the fans to leave such moving comments?
For starters, the video includes dancers and video vixens Chinny Unique and Sara Bendii, among other lovely and bootylicious ladies. The shots by Xtreme Arts keep you very close to the action, which includes a lot of pool splashing, melon eating, icicle sucking, banana-eating, choking, and did we mention a whole lotta shaking. The video stays true to the Caribbean fruit-inspired theme by using warm yet vibrant color schemes, which further increases the passion throughout the 3 minutes and 30 seconds video. The video for “Backaz” arrives nearly a month after Charly Black’s equally provocative video for ‘Sidung,’ which is also featured on the TJ Records Incredible Riddim compilation.
“Backaz” was released today, August 14th, and it is steadily gaining views as his fans, especially the Kenyans, have declared it as a hot piece. We’re sure the views would have been at record numbers already if not for the plethora of negative reviews from naysayers.
One fan was quick to regard them as hypocrites citing, “I’m sure it’s the older generation in the comment section that are talking about morality, acting all perfect and holy but they were also wild players and hoes back in their days and I’ve seen quite enough videos and pictures of them wilding. The only difference is social media. Remember there’s nothing new under the sun.”
Still, others were tantalized by the beautiful women and the provocative and extremely sexual manner of the visuals, even Konshens himself seemed to have a hard time focusing during the shoot. The artiste did, however, enjoy the making of the steamy production with bloopers added in at the end of the clip showing him acting a fool among his female counterparts.
You can go ahead and check out the new music video “Backaz” from Konshens below. Be sure to bring a bucket of ice!
