RoseGold Records, founded by Samantha ‘ZJ Rose’, Jamaica’s top radio deejay on ZIPFM, can add a top riddim set with the RoofTop Riddim to her accolades. Now available on iTunes and e-tailers everywhere, the Rooftop Riddim balances electrifying dancehall beats and catchy dance grooves for Jamaica’s top singers and deejays in a singular, get-up-and-dance style. Mavado, Beenie Man, Charlie Blacks, Stacious, Flippa Mafia and D’Angel all provide signature efforts.

Mavado doesn’t mince words on “House Top” yet his smooth delivery is of course nothing less than ‘cool and deadly’ while Beenie Man, the consummate singer, artist and performer, is on full display with “Under Curfew”. And “Turn Me On”, from young Charlie Blacks, shows why he has been responsible for energizing the Jamaican music scene of late. On the Rooftop, dancehall reggae’s fastest rising female artists, DJ Stacious and D’Angel, show what put them on top. Stacious says less gimmicks and more action on “Just Do It” while D’Angel, backed by a catchy and confident hook, is swagger-ific on “Come Over”. “Naah Lef Him Again”, by Flippa Mafia, aka ‘The Flossing King’, raises the energy and the swagger even further.

Bursting with Jamaican vibes as well as a magnetic dance floor appeal, The Rooftop Riddim is now burning the roof down day and night over the airwaves and in the dance. Get up on the rooftop today!

"How We Ride" follows up on the Billboard charting song "Click Mi Finger" Erup recorded on Truckback's Gearbox Riddim which was a ground breaking project in its own right.

This time, Truckback is again breaking barriers as "How We Ride" takes a new turn for dancehall, and Jamaican music in general, with straight ahead rock guitar lines going toe to toe with Erup's signature laid back dancehall lyrics and Truckback's driving drum and bass. Reminiscent of the fuzz guitar FX from 70s psychedelic rock bands, "How We Ride" crosses time and musical genres to create a new sound for a new generation of music fans.

HARRY TODDLER DEBUT ALBUM ON DOWNSOUND RECORDS

CLICK HERE TO GO TO HARRY TODDLER MEDIA PAGE

Downsound Records and Zojak World Wide are very proud to present the debut album, Info, from Harry Toddler. From #1 dancehall hits to soulful one drop anthems, Info is all you need to know about reggae and dancehall this summer. Info is available on Itunes May 12. Engineered by Michael ‘Angel’ Adams and boasting the Self Defense Riddim, productions from Jam 2, TJ, Free Willy, Burch, King of Kings, Ward 21 as well as a wicked version of Dave Kelly’s Showtime Riddim from TJ Records. Of course, it can’t hurt to start of with a #1 dancehall hit either.

“More Money”, the charting topping dancehall hit from Downsound Records sets off a series of wicked tracks from the Blond Ras including “Nuh Man To My Ears” in which Harry Toddler continues his straight talking and “Lue”, which vibes off the popular play on the word ‘illusion’ to comment on politics, relationships and the dancehall scene. Toddler’s “Dresser Bag”, a driving force behind Cordell ‘Scatta’ Stewart’s recent massive Self Defense Riddim, and “Hypocrite” recorded over a version of Dave Kelly’s Showtime are two of the hottest songs in dancehall and “Scare Dem Alliance” brings together the hottest artists in the business for a amazing group effort. Always aware of the hottest trends and talents, Harry Toddler invites the new deejay Pamputae to join him on “Rich Gal”, a rocking R&B reggae track. And in true Toddler fashion, the Blond Ras sets up a conversation between “No Tearings”, a light hearted jab at those who would beg a dollar, and “Pon Wi” which Toddler kicks off with the statement that “when we step out never less than 50 grand pon wi”. “Million And Bouf” is a signature Toddler creation to refer to get rich through hustling. Riding over a groovy hip hop melody Toddler connects the downfall of the world economy to hustling success. And the rhymes on “Superwoman” alternate between loving ballad and hard hitting deejay lyrics creating a unique crossover flow that continues with “Memories” and “Vegetarian” featuring Anthony B, an ital anthem bubbling over heavy bass and smart percussion. The natural vibes dominate on “Pray Fi Dem”, “Nuh More Killing” and “Heart Breaker” on which Harry Toddler shows he can handle the one drop as well as the dancehall riddims. Info closes with “Safe Travel”, important information for every one to take home. Take home Harry Toddler's debut album, Info, today!

XTERMINATOR DIGS DEEP FOR SPECIAL DIGITAL RELEASE

PREVIEW THE XTERMINATOR ALBUM HERE

Xterminator Productions and Zojak World Wide are proud to share a powerful collection of conscious reggae music from the production house widely recognized for bringing back the power of roots reggae music in modern times. Digital Singles From The Xterminator Vaults contains outstanding efforts from Turbulence, Buju Banton, Gentleman, Lutan Fyah, Sizzla, Luciano, Ras Shiloh, Beres Hammond and more, whose musical atmosphere is reminiscent of Xterminator productions such as Sizzla’s Black Woman and Child and Luciano’s Messenger, seminal albums that allowed roots consciousness to reclaim its rightful place in reggae and world music circles internationally. The album is now available on Itunes and e-tailers everywhere.

Here, on Digital Singles From The Xterminator Vaults, the combination of Bunny Rugs & Lutan Fyah on “Africa” sets the tone for the album while Buju Banton’s relentless energy on “O My Father” captures the prevailing upbeat dancehall vibes. “Let Love” from Luciano and “Goodness And Mercy” from Sizzla and Ini Kamoze both recapture the style that made them who they are today. Versatility has always been a hallmark of Phillip “Fattis” Burrell’s Xterminator record label and Jack Radics & General Degree show Fattis hasn’t lost his touch on “Lover’s Question”, a seamless combination of Jack Radic’s vocal range and General Degree’s deejay skills. Two contributions from international lover’s reggae icon Beres Hammond, “Woman Of My Life” and “You Don’t Know Me” make Digital Singles From The Xterminator Vaults a sweet departure from conventional Xterminator releases that have focused on in-house artists. Jimmy Riley’s “I-O” is a playful play on words riding over the XYZ riddim and Ras Shiloh offers a crucial take on the importance of “Faith And Hope” in his signature roots and gospel style.

The range and depth of Xterminator productions means one doesn’t have to dig deep to find the hits. However, sometimes one does have to wait patiently for the hits to be released. Thankfully, Digital Singles From The Xterminator Vaults will meet the conscious and dancehall needs of reggae and urban music fans alike for a long time to come.
