				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Renowned recording artiste and international music producer Blizzi has stamped an indelible imprint on the music scene since his induction. He also stands as a multifaceted writer, audio engineer and graphic designer.</p>

His music encompasses a wide range of reggae, dancehall and EDM styles, and with a constantly evolving sound Blizzi has continued to experiment with and cross over into various musical genres.</p>

<p>The following year he released  #1, featuring upcoming artiste Kemstar on the Bunkx Around Riddim<br />
Currently Blizzi is working on his debut EP titled Legacy; it entails 7 tracks, one of which features Savone, the daughter of Pam Hall.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Known to most as “bighead”, “Bigwayne”, or “Staynn”, his birth name was Dwayne Campbell, born to parents Eugena McNaughton and Hubert Campbell on January 26, in the parish of Kingston Jamaica. Staynn is an uprising Jamaican singer, song writer and dancer, who now resides in Atlanta Georgia . </p>
<p>Staynn has been performing at the tender age of five(5), he was well known wherever he resides as a vibrant and energetic child who never seize to entertain his peers. </p>
<p>Staynn grew up in the community of Maxfield Park where he attend Rousseau Primary School and later move on to Norman Manley High School located in Kingston Jamaica. </p>
<p>It is safe to say that Staynn&#8217;s passion for music and entertainment was a mere result of his father Hubert Campbell otherwise known as “Daddy Ants” and uncle Lloyd Hemmings involvement in the business over the years. Daddy Ants and  Sugar Minott was one of the founders of Youthman Promotion Sound back in 1980 alongside Colorman, where he was a selector and reggae artist. </p>
<p>The sound system was a vessel to get Sugar Minott and other artists music out to the public after radio stations refuse to play them. Lloyd Hemmings is known for hits such as “ Ghetto Life” which has acquired over 400,000 views on YouTube alongside “RaggaMufin Soldiers” Hemmings has performed amongst the like of Don Carlos back in 2010 at Northwest World Reggae Festival.</p>
<p>Hemming is also known to part take in a number of dub clashes, both locally and overseas. Therefore, it’s safe to say music was embedded in Staynn&#8217;s DNA.</p>
<p>With an exuberant and enthusiastic personality Staynn continue to entertain over the years, he would perform on stage show in and around the community, which was very receptive of his dancing and singing. Staynn was known to gyrate to any rhythm whether it’s from a musical instrument or the mere sounds of RAIN DROPS OR JUST A PON KNOCKING. </p>
<p>One of his accomplishment was when he entered and won a Regional Dancing Competition he even played PROFESSIONAL  SUPER LEAGUE FOOTBALL for various teams. Staynn was able to listen and memorized every song that was played on the radio, of which he has done remixes for a few. Staynn personality was often compared to that of international artist Busta Rymes. </p>
<p>Despite multiple obstacle and challenges, he faced within the industry staynn’s compelling personality and the encouragement of friends and family has allowed him to protrude on the scene back in 2010, and in 2016 his new single “Mek A Baby” has caught the attention of the public and a producer who had heard staynn songs while getting a haircut and invited him to the studio. </p>
<p>“Mek A Baby” has been playing on radio station internationally  which was inspired by a past relationship. Staynn”s aim is to please his audiences by producing nothing but the best music where the eldest to the suckling on the breast can relate to and enjoy.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ajai –meaning conqueror or savior in the Arabic tongue– is the name chosen by Brian Todd Antonio Sean Boucher. Born the fifteenth of June nineteen eighty three at the Spanish town hospital, Ajai was adopted by pastor Brown and his wife when he was just five months. They are the ones he has grown to recognize, love and respect as his parents; they are the ones who raised him with the love and respect we give to our own. </p>
<p>Ajai attended Waterford infant, primary and high. leaving school at age seventeen, he first worked as a cashier before becoming a present member of staff on the accounting team of the Ministry of National Security –being obedient to Mr. and Mrs. Brown has paid off for this brethren. To lead a responsible life wasn’t the only positive influence the Browns had on this bredda.</p>
<p>Being adopted by a pastor, one expects he had to go to church and it was there he first got involved with music. Being a member of the church choir, he not only learned to sing but to play various musical instruments as well –keyboard, drums and bass guitar. Yet he has always had respect for the music of Peter Tosh, D Brown, Beres and Buju. </p>
<p>Now Ajai has allowed his natural aspect that has given rise to his musical attributes –him Ras up and his music him tek up. Briefly with ‘Yard life’ crew and now taken under the wing of Dean Fraser. Ajai&#8217;s sound is classified as ‘reggae soul’ and his aspiration to leave a unique mark on reggae music and the world where positive vibrations are concerned is acceptable –lookout for this Black soul. </p>
<p>His advice to our youths today, is to read more and more, specifically Black literature and seek to build and fortify a high self-esteem.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last night i attended the Barry Gee &#8211; Stone love &#8211; V Rocket show at parklands banqueting suite&#8230;.. thank god for my ticket connections cause £25 was a lil steep considering the venue which was half if not a quarter full&#8230;. me all hear a man seh him pay £30&#8230;.*coughs* &#8230;.as per usual as i got inside everyone squeezing up themselves around the back of the hall as if afraid to make use of the dance floor&#8230;. (why do people do that??)</p>
<p>wouldn&#8217;t be a wax review without a lil controversy&#8230;..but i call it &#8216;truth telling&#8217; &#8230;.the sound chip out around 3/4 times&#8230;.. i mean really chip out&#8230;.. like darkness and not even a display light chip out&#8230;. i don&#8217;t know why or what but it happened&#8230;.. respects still to the sound men who did the best they could to rectify  the situation promptly&#8230;.</p>
<p>father hovis and qualitex warming in nicely and V rocket performing a great set with some nice dub plates&#8230;..(im still wishing they&#8217;d roll out and clash&#8230;&#8230;dub plates sounding clean like a whistle)  after a while the announcements of &#8216;rory soon come perform were getting tiresome and luckily he came on just before the onset of a little restlessness&#8230;.. Best set of the night&#8230;.you now how stone love do&#8230;anthems anthems anthems&#8230;..but i guess its expected&#8230;.</p>
<p>now, no disrespect to the veterans in the business as they are who i have grown up on and learn most of my reggae and sound history from BUT..Barry Gee &#8230;&#8230;BWOY&#8230;..i dont even want to say anything out of place but a better him nuh badda&#8230;.. he quoted he hasn&#8217;t played in Birmingham for 15 years&#8230;..so i was expecting the place to light up! &#8230;however, very lack luster performance&#8230;.the dance slowed right down when he touched the mic&#8230; started playing very slow rum bar tunes taking the pace right down&#8230;i held out for a while but things just kept getting worse and at one point not even the mic him dida use&#8230;just song after song after song no speech to keep the crowd entertained&#8230;. it was at this point that i left&#8230;. couldn&#8217;t tek nuh more&#8230;</p>
<p>big up everyone involved in this promotion&#8230;had the makings of being a roadblock dance&#8230;. I&#8217;m not sure why it wasn&#8217;t full from early but those who were there did their best to enjoy&#8230;</p>
<p>not sure but i think we&#8217;ve been saturated with stone love this year..might be just me&#8230; big up kutty qualitex who Never walks past me when he sees me and all of the BSSC massive who were inside the venue last night!! me nah call nuh name cause me nuh sure if you wah people know seh you did dideh ina dark carners a bubble lol</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Reserved, spontaneous, humble yet outspoken are some of the words music industry giants use to describe Defranco. But who is he as a recording artist?</p>
<p>In 2006, he entered the Jamaican talent show ‘Rising Stars’ and although he did not win, he was selected for the Kingston top ten from amongst the two thousand six hundred (2600) persons that had entered that year. Later in 2011 and then 2013 he was called to perform on the Jazz and Blues festival stage. The audience and organizers were so elated by his vocal strength and lyrical content that he was recalled later that night (on both occasions) to perform a second time. Media houses were excited to interview the medium height, well dressed, dark complexion guy with a cutting edge voice.</p>
<p>Born into a poor family in the early 80’s in Waltham Gardens, he was taught the foundation and importance of love by his mom, uncles and grandmothers. His lyrics are drawn from situations</p>
<p>surrounding family, lovers, social commentaries, and other personal experiences. It was these situations that tackled his intelligence for years, and which fuelled his determination to pursue a career in the Jamaica Defence Force, starting from the cadet group while in high school (St. Georges College).</p>
<p>Although he always had a gift to sing and played the drums, he soetimes neglected the choir at church<br />
and only played the trap set, but little did he know.<br />
<strong><br />
The Change</strong></p>
<p>Finally, having finished school, with his life going as planned; he was closer to becoming a member of the Jamaica Defence Force. After a hard day’s work he would relax by listening to mainly R&amp;B music. He said, ‘My mind began to think freely towards writing and funny enough my catalogue of demos<br />
started. </p>
<p>Is it at all possible that my calling is to be a recording artist?’ If that’s the case he was convinced he had to somewhat incline himself to the history and cry of his ancestors and spiritual beliefs, adapt to the roots of his heritage, Reggae. The transition was tedious until he began to understand more about himself. Now a listener of Disco,RnB, Reggae, and old hits he fell in love with Richie Spice, Bob Marley, Barrington Levy, Taurus Riley, and Dennis Brown. As time passed he was no<br />
longer a shy guy, instead, he was publicly singing and writing songs with his own style which he calls &#39;&#39;Reggae Blues.&#39;&#39;</p>
<p>The four (4) new tracks EP from international recording artist Defranco, showcases the range and diversity of the Jamaican-born singer/songwriter/musician and have special meaning to him as they detailed various points in his life. He is best known for his stirring, conscience-raising ode “Got to Change”, which is a very personal song that he wrote about someone he knew, who was making bad decisions which were affecting their life as well as the lives of the people around that cared the most. This is a song of warning and encouragement, a song that inspires life changes and positivity.</p>
<p>Two songs off the album “Got to Change” and “Give You What You Want” have been getting heavy rotations on various radio stations throughout North America, Europe and the Caribbean. They have been featured on Kiss100 Fm &amp; Choice Fm in the UK, The Joint – Sirius XM satellite radio, went #7 on Toronto CHRY 105.5 FM reggae chart and # 2 on Reggae France top 10 songs. As stated by Presenter “Mikey Biggs” of Tellstream Radio based in Birmingham, UK , “This has to be one of the best vocalists I have heard in a long time, reviving conscious and beautiful reggae music. His music reminds me of the legends and profound reggae artists, the likes of Dennis Brown, Garnet Silk, Michael Rose and Richie Spice to name a few”.</p>
<p>He is excited about sharing these songs with his audience. Life is a journey and on that journey we<br />
experience all the emotions that comes with being alive; the essence of being human”.</p>
<p><strong>The Junction</strong></p>
<p>Defranco reminisced, “In 2009 I met Dean Fraser and had the opportunity to record my first official<br />
single, Give You What You Want for his label Cannon Records. I knew there and then that I had some<br />
talent as this would not have been happening. Finally I heard my voice on the radio stations in Jamaica<br />
then calls from abroad kept coming in, now I am totally convinced that I actually can sing (chuckled).</p>
<p>Since then I have done other recordings at Tuff Gong &amp; Grafton studios, Frensforeal, performed at live music venues around the island of Jamaica, New York, St Lucia, Dominica Republic and done tribute<br />
shows for charity. These events gave birth to ‘‘Got to Change,” my second single released in late 2010<br />
followed by “Simple” by Marshall Arts, records and airplay has extended to Africa. Since then Defranco<br />
has recorded several other singles; “Hard to Get” Cahban Rekords, video released February 2016; “She<br />
Didn’t Know”, Triple L Record; “Its no fun”, Gibby Music; “Surely Die”. Crc Music Germany and many<br />
others.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dane Salmon aka “Booba Starr” was born on November 6 in Kingston, Jamaica where he spent his early childhood before his parents moved to the Greater Portmore area of St. Catherine. Booba interests in music began in high school when he started writing poems and songs and began to entertained friends and family.</p>
<p>Shortly after leaving high school, Booba Starr&#8217;s interests in music took on a more serious tone as he began to hone his skills and talent by performing on the “Hard Drive sound system; it was this experience that gave him the confidence and the awakening that he wanted to entertain people through music. Booba Starr is musically influenced by the great reggae artists of the eighties and nineties as well as greatest group of them all, Bob Marley and the Wailers.</p>
<p>With his immense talent and versatility, Booba covers a wide range of styles across the reggae spectrum ranging from today’s contemporary reggae to the old school classic of the eighties and nineties. Whether dancehall, roots, or culture, Booba Starr easily transition from one to the next without skipping a beat. </p>

During that same period, Booba Starr also produced other recordings with other producers. In 2011, Booba Starr invested in his own recording studio and began to record his own music; he also collaborated with the Austrian Record Label “Lyrical War Records”. Booba also voiced “Roll Out” on the “Bomb Weh Riddim” which was produced by Dimmie Joe Muzik &#038; G5 Entertainment. </p>
<p>He has voiced several singles, “Neva Easy”, “Prison Neva mek fi Dawg” and “From Dusk Till Dawn” for Sweat Boxx Productions which were produced by Julius Mitchell and Sean Dias. Booba Starr latest single “Hackle Di Body” is produce by Deon Gray for the Jafrika Label.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For those who&#39;ve been waiting for Rasta consciousness to mount a resurgence in contemporary<br />
reggae, Jah9 is a figure of revelation and deliverance.</p>
<p>A true sister of the faith she first caught the attention of many with the release of her lilting<br />
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.</p>
<p>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&#39;ve seen Jah9&#39;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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>What is most palpably novel however is the intimacy of Jah9s address to the menfolk in her circumference&#8211; &#8211; notably with respect to such issues as machismo, respect (or lack thereof) for<br />
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: &#39;&#39;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/</p>
<p>The power she has access to.&#39;&#39; Ditto can be said for these lines from the harmonically sophisticated “Natural Vibe,” a song of tightly coiled desire:&#39;&#39; 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.&#39;&#39; The first single and video “Humble Mi,” which sounds at first like a traditional Rasta chant, extends the form to<br />
reveal a personal journey into relationship with the “creator.”</p>
<p>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.</p>
