Embrace peace and love with Ranking Joe, JonQuan and Victor Rice’s “Top Ranking”. This new single has brilliant instrumentation and I absolutely connect with the song’s message.

Talking Head’s “Heaven” gets a reggae dub vibe take by Eddie Skuller. This is such a beautiful song and Skuller teamed with a handful of incredible musicians including Victor Rice on production, backing vocals by Caz Gardiner, and guitar by Alex Tea to bring this cover to life.

Cas Haley and Victor Rice have put a reggae spin on Chris Stapleton’s “Tennessee Whiskey”, and I’m loving the fresh take on this jam! The single, released by Ineffable Records, showcases Haley’s amazing voice, and the bass line is so fun to dance to!

“Evolution” by Alex Tea is a groovy reminder to accept change. Tea is a talented multi-instrumentalist based in Jersey City, who teamed up a crew of international musicians including Victor Rice to bring this beautiful song to life.

Often there is a certain feel in the music made by a musician with years of experience writing, jamming, and most importantly playing on stage in front of audiences. The groove is precise without losing feel, the songs are familiar with just the right amount of innovation, and the vibes are right. Enter JonQuan, a touring musician, DJ, songwriter, and keyboardist who is releasing his first solo project on Easy Star Records. Out of this came amazing instrumental tracks, which were then followed by JonQuan finding amazing vocalists and artists to feature on the songs. With this in mind, the project took on the apt name "Easy Star Presents: JonQuan & Associates''. Working closely with two-time Grammy winner Victor Rice of Easy Star All-Stars, the album JonQuan has created is fantastic and is a wonderful sign of his career as a solo artist to come!

Eddie Skuller and Alex Tea help us take a break from “Headlines” while raising money for World Central Kitchen and the Chefs For Ukraine initiative. Headlines is a lovely new song written by Eddie, Alex, and Pamela Lankas. Eddie teamed up with Victor Rice in a Dub and Remix version of Headlines as well.

JonQuan & Associates have dropped their first single in advance of an album release coming this December. Accidental Badman, released via Easy Star Records, is a super irie song with an old school reggae feel. JonQuan teamed up with reggae veteran Carlton Livingston and the song was inspired by a true tale of someone Livingston knew back in the day. JonQuan is best known as the frontman for Buddha Council out of Virginia Beach.
