Nashville’s Plainview Vibes’ “Running Out Of Time” is a gem of a song. I love the single’s message about loving each day to the fullest, and the band is clearly made of super talented musicians.

Time to get excited for the release of reggae legend Lee “Scratch” Perry’s final album, “Destiny”. The album is due out on September 8 and was produced by the super talented Bob Riddim. Delicious Vinyl Island is set to release the album and the title track sounds so irie!

Blvk H3ro’s road to superstar status is on full display in “On A Mission”, and I love so many aspects of the album - from the storytelling, H3ro’s vocals, and the incredible production. H3ro has the energy, humble yet confident swag, and songwriting chops to continue his international growth in a major way. Read the full review now!

Accept new energy into your world by singing along to Brendan Clemente’s “Good Good Morning” ft. KBong. The track produced by Johnny Cosmic is very peaceful and I love the harmonies. 

Push evil away with Boostive’s “Wickedness” ft. Screechy Dan and Kava Jah. Boostive recently released this irie track on Stoopid Records and it’s a jam! I am especially vibing with the song’s dub filled bass line and the punchy horn section.

Extend summer vibes with SUM SUN’s “Tan Lines” ft. Surfer Girl. This is my first time listening to SUM SUN and this new single released by Ineffable Records is so fun and feel good!

In honor of Common Kings releasing “Celebration”, this edition of Song of the Week is Queen Majesty by Common Kings feat. Sammy Johnson and The Green. The cover of the classic track written by Dennis Brown and Curtis Mayfield has been floating around for a few years, but the Common Kings version it is so good it deserved a spot on a full length album.

Last night was filled with funk, reggae, …..and horse racing. Ballyhoo!, Dumpstaphunk, and Ghost Funk Orchestra traveled to Charles Town, West Virginia yesterday for the annual horse race and music festival. While the combination made for one of the more unique concerts I have ever been to, the music was far from an afterthought. From start to finish, each band put on absolutely amazing show, and the musicianship was top notch.

Kolohe Kai responds to the devasting Maui fires with new single “Too Close Too Home”. In a Facebook post he says the “song written with the deepest sympathies and condolences for all of you who were devastated by the Maui Fires. We can’t imagine the loss and pain you’re going thru. But we really wanted to record something to help comfort you in any way”

ANORA’s voice shines in the singer-songwriter’s latest jam, “Burn Slow”. Some songs almost make the clock stand still and ANORA has that special ability as an artist to bring a listener instant relaxation and I love this song’s vibe and her epic guitar work!

What do The Elovaters, Kyle Smith, Iya Terra, HIRIE, Tropidelic and Bumpin Uglies have in common? If you guessed that they’ve all got a spot on Ballyhoo!’s fiery new album, Shellshock, you’re entirely correct.  The Maryland based rockin’ reggae veterans have completed their latest collection of powerful songs with the help of some well-known friends.

Irie Yute Tapes’ “Awaking Riddim” is off to a hot start with jamming singles from Rik Jam, Willz and Jah Love. I love listening to riddim projects and when Irie Yute Tapes’ Phillip McFarlane is behind a track’s production and vision, you know it’s going to be innovative and unbelievably good.

Slow down and sing along to Bumpin Uglies “Spinning Plates”. This is such a rad song and another example of the band’s frontman Brandon Hardesty putting out some of the most thoughtful and all around fun music in the reggae rock scene.

Celebrate new love and living life to the fullest with Adriya Joy’s “Hazel-Eyed Sunflower” ft. Mighty Mystic. Joy is a talented Boston-based singer-songwriter and her beautiful voice shines so bright in this new track that has all around amazing energy.

Album Review: Bobby Hustle is far beyond a proof of concept. Although I appreciate the talented MC’s humility, I’d describe Hustle as a force to be reckoned with in the best way possible. He is releasing some of the best reggae meets hip hop music on the planet and deserves an even bigger audience, and the artist’s new album.
