The unruly boss Popcaan released his album called YIY Change Fixtape on Aug 7th which has rapidly climbed the charts across the globe!

Superseding the legendary Bob Marley and ranking #1 reggae album on iTunes, the 19 track compilation hit the ground heavy featuring an all star guest list of artists.

The list consists of collabs with Drake, French Montana, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Dane Ray, Stylo G, Masicka, Tommy Lee Sparta, Frahcess One, Jada Kingdom and Preme. The Fixtape album was curated by Creep and Travis Chromatic, and executively produced by Creep and Unruly Entertainment. 

The dancehall OVO artist is a protégé of Vybz Kartel and without a doubt has paved his own way in the music industry making hits on top of hits.

The Fixtape album is available on all streaming platforms.

Dancehall recording artist Rygin King has finally broken his silence after being gunned down exactly one month ago. 

A post today on his official Instagram page stated, "Just wanted to let you know Rygin King is sending a heartfelt thank you to all well wishers, friends and family for their prayers and thoughts through this difficult time. Rygin King cannot thank you enough for the encouragements and motivation meanwhile gaining strength & courage to make a full recovery."

The post also went on to say that the artist thanks the different hospital staff for taking such great care of him and the ministers who assisted in any way possible. Special honorable mentions went to Miss Olivia Babsy Grange, Dr. Christopher Tufton and Dr. Horace Chang for the immediate response and direction.

"I will live through this ordeal and I can take the next step that comes along with the Most High by my side.  My fans show me support and I am goring to make them proud, just know 'One King' soon step out," said Rygin King.

It was reported that Rygin King was shot on June 28th after leaving a funeral in Westmorland. It was stated that he was travelling in a convoy in Bethel Town when one of the cars was involved in a collision. While repairs were being made on the car another vehicle drove up and shots were fired and hit the bystanders with bullets, including the artist.

During the shooting a woman, 28-year-old, Sashalee Blackwood was shot and succumbed to her injuries, while another recording artist, Goon, was shot in his foot.

In the midst of a global pandemic artists have been stifled by not having the opportunity to do live performances. Although this can be crippling to many, Dane Ray remains ‘Fully Aktiv’ in his music career.  Not only is he a recording artist that writes he is a producer steadily gaining international recognition. His latest single “Ray Gad” produced by GMR and Luigi Society has hit the ground hard shaking up the pavement!

As a producer, Dane Ray aka Ray Gad produced one of the summer of 2018's biggest hits by Rygin King called "Tuff" on the Tuff Riddim. Additionally, in 2014 Dane Ray achieved a successful moment as a producer with “Wine Up” and “Jamaican Everyday” by Charly Black which held the #1 spot in Jamaica for over five months. His music continues to elevate which is rapidly increasing his fan base.

The anticipation was high for the clock to strike 12am today as July 31st is the official release date of Dexta Daps' new album Vent on all digital platforms.

A complete album world premiere was hosted on the Dexta Daps YouTube channel by Firistic Steenie who played all the tracks from the new album.

The 16 track compilation consists of collaborations with Beenie Man, Friyie, Spice, Ikaya, Tarrus Riley, Chronic Law, Blakkman and Angel Doolas. 

On this album Dexta dabbled on the production side and produced some of the tracks.  The album shows the artist's diversity with some tracks that have heavy ear catching guitar and piano instrumentals that places him in a totally different genre of music that can definitely cross over.

As always the 'Owner' couldn't have an album without appeasing to the ladies with his soothing and seductive voice playing a key role on some wicked riddims!!  Whether it was a ladies song or a badman tune his choice of wordplay is pleasant to the ear.

His song "Most Wanted" was ever so touching as it can relate to the recent chain of events earlier this year.  In April, Daps was taken in police custody in an accusation of connection with ongoing investigations into shooting and gang activities in the Southern St. Andrew area. He was later released and free of all accusations.

Overall the album have ah buzz!!! Job well done Mr. Daps!!!
