Released in April, the single was produced by his Dazs Records and distributed by Reggae Release. The song has been
getting steady rotation on stations mainly in the United States and United Kingdom and recently gaining traction in dance hall circles in Jamaica.

“I am working extra hard with the promotions for this song and I’m getting a lot of positive response and support,” said Dazzle B.

Dazzle B is slated to perform on several upcoming shows for the summer and his latest single “Proper” is sure to be a winner among the ladies.

The song is on the Black Marble Records imprint and is produced by Fabian Salmon.

“It’s a song for lovers, embracing a moment shared, passed and longing for more,” Jordan said.

He added: “My fans can expect a lot more new material for 2018 because I have being busy at work in the studio and on various shows promoting my work and the continued preservation of Rocksteady music.”

The artiste said he has made links overseas and a growing fanbase but will remain humble, anticipating the international ‘buss’ will come in due time.

wouldn’t be a wax review without a lil controversy…..but i call it ‘truth telling’ ….the sound chip out around 3/4 times….. i mean really chip out….. like darkness and not even a display light chip out…. i don’t know why or what but it happened….. respects still to the sound men who did the best they could to rectify the situation promptly….

father hovis and qualitex warming in nicely and V rocket performing a great set with some nice dub plates…..(im still wishing they’d roll out and clash……dub plates sounding clean like a whistle) after a while the announcements of ‘rory soon come perform were getting tiresome and luckily he came on just before the onset of a little restlessness….. Best set of the night….you now how stone love do…anthems anthems anthems…..but i guess its expected….

A true sister of the faith she first caught the attention of many with the release of her lilting
and comedic music video for “Avocado.” Though that production visually represented her African-centric sense of couture, cuisine, style, sensuality décor and even tableware, it barely prepared us for the evangelical force and fury Jah9 would be delivering to roots music in short order.

When heard in the full flower of older songs such as “Steamers A Bubble,” “Jungle” and “Gratitude” Jah9 was revealed to be a singer and poet of considerable range, soul and jazz inflected melodicism. Also as those who've seen Jah9's fiery and righteous live shows can testify, she is hardly a made in the studio chanteuse incapable of translating to the stage with abundant dynamism.

The product of a strong upbringing, by two hard working culturally and politically engaged parents, Jah9 (born Janine Cunningham) is also a university graduate, a multidisciplinary yoga instructor, a youth at risk counselor and a slamming dub-poet champion. The combination of intellectual rigor, real world activism and lyrical musicality is well on display in her sophomore album ‘9.’ Thematically there is no slacking in spiritual advocacy, oppositional militancy or honed and focused tunefulness.

What is most palpably novel however is the intimacy of Jah9s address to the menfolk in her circumference– – notably with respect to such issues as machismo, respect (or lack thereof) for
the binding, sustaining forces of feminine energy, family, children and the necessity for principled integrity in frontline romantic relationships. Attention paid to the lyrics of “Greatest Threat To The Status Quo” will yield these incisive gems of insight: ''We are not separate /All emanating from the same divine plan/ So persecution of the feminine is the reason for the state the world is in/ A spiritual woman is the greatest threat to the status quo/ The fruits she will bare/

The power she has access to.'' Ditto can be said for these lines from the harmonically sophisticated “Natural Vibe,” a song of tightly coiled desire:'' My senses do not deceive me /These intense vibrations will crescendo 1 day real soon / This complicated melody will find its harmony in tune When the stars are aligned under the height of the moon.'' The first single and video “Humble Mi,” which sounds at first like a traditional Rasta chant, extends the form to
reveal a personal journey into relationship with the “creator.”

Beyond her strengths as a lyricist, Jah9 is delivers an impressive performance as primary producer of this nine song project. With collaborators, including Andrew Campbell, Brecht De Beover, Wayne ‘Unga’ Thompson and Earl ‘Chinna’ Smith, Jah9 has delivered in 9 an album, nay, a sonic site of resistance and revelation. 9 fulfills the promise of her earlier releases with expansive maturity, prophetic purpose and even deeper displays of warrior-goddess prowess on the mic.

Greg Tate, Black Rock Coalition – June 2016

Surrey coroner Richard Travers said he would make a report to the Metropolitan police on changes or improvements to the supervision of a prisoner at their home during a search.

The 48-year-old singer, real name David Emmanuel, died from a single stab wound to the heart while police executed a search warrant at his Surrey home on 15 March 2011.

The jury of five men and six women took 12 hours and 52 minutes to reach their majority verdict on Tuesday.

The jury foreman said: “David Victor Emmanuel took his own life. Although the tragic events of 15 March 2011 were unforeseeable, giving one officer the responsibility of supervising Mr Emmanuel and at the same time the premises search book was a contributory factor in his death.”

The inquest heard that he stabbed himself after being arrested at the property in Warlingham.

The police inquiries concerned allegations of conspiring to import class A drugs into the UK, the court heard.

Smiley Culture found fame with a string of 1980s hits including CockneyTranslation, and appeared on Top of the Pops.

The inquest, which began on 12 June, took place at Woking borough council’s civic offices.

The stabbing happened in the kitchen when the musician stood up from his chair and “obtained a knife from an unknown location”, the jury stated.

The coroner passed on his condolences to Mr Emmanuel’s family, including his daughter Shanice McConnachie, who had been in court throughout the hearing.

After the verdict Smiley’s cousin, Merlin Emmanuel, said: “We have lost an integral part of our family.

“He had a lot of hope and he had a lot to live for. Why he should have wanted to end his life in that way I do not know, but I do not think he should have been in a position to do that.

The beat has songs by established and up-and-coming artistes including 2015 Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall winner, Devin Di Dakta, who does She Tell Me.

Teenaged deejay Wayne J contributes Superstar, while Razor B’s song is Gal A Bawl Out.

Gaga Productions was launched last year by Waterhouse-reared deejay Alty B, who is also on Babashop with Gal Clown.

A veteran of Toronto’s dancehall scene, his previous songs include I sland Girl with Richie Loop.

Alty B (given name Altiman Grason) says he started Gaga Productions to help break emerging acts out of Jamaica and Canada.

Dudsymil and Fancy Lady with Bubble, as well as Popsy Badda with Dutty Friends, are some of the other Toronto artistes on Babashop.

The reggae group won for their album ‘Strictly Roots’, which topped the Billboard Reggae Album Chart when it was released last April.

The award show takes place this evening at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.

Other nominees were The Cure by Jah Cure (VP Records); Branches of The Same Treeby Rocky Dawuni (Cumbancha Records); Acousticalevy by Barrington Levy (Doctor Dread Presents) and Zion Awake by Luciano (VP Records).
