Itation Records World Radio Premier of the Clearly Riddim - conscious reggae for the world

Itation Records is pleased to announce the World Premier of its new 'one drop' reggae Clearly Riddim and invites reggae and music fans to join us over the air or online as we drop the Clearly riddim on exclusive radio stations in Jamaica, Boston, New York, London, Miami, Paris, San Diego and Toronto as well as worldwide via the web. Listen in as ZJ Rose in Jamaica, David Rodigan in London, DJ Roy in New York and other top deejays put their spin on two never before heard songs from Kali Blaxx and Pressure.

Listen over the air or online... Check the schedule below for dates and times!

Join the Facebook event page!

Ahead of its official APRIL 2010 album release, the first tracks to hit the streets from Kali Blaxx and Pressure take the funky keyboard, cool and deadly guitar and thick bass lines of the Clearly Riddim and make it their own. One of Jamaica’s brightest rising stars, Kali Blaxx has a must-hear tough love lesson to teach on “Nah trust dem” while Pressure, the pride of the Virgin Isands, offers a compelling motivational message for the world on “Be what you want to be”. Two sides of the same coin, Kali Blaxx and Pressure provide a gripping preview of what is to come from Lutan Fyah, Fanton Mojah, Delly Ranx, Mega Banton and many more of the finest and most sought after vocalists in contemporary reggae music.

WORLD PREMIER (MARCH 18-23) OF "HOW WE RIDE" BY ERUP STARTS IN JAMAICA AND CONTINUES WORLDWIDE

Truckback Records is pleased to announce the World Premier of the new single by Erup, "How We Ride", a 'dancehall rock' follow up to the Billboard hit, "Click My Finger". Join us for the special premier on the dial or online Thursday March 18 to Monday March 22. ZJ Johnny Khool will be the first to "ride" as we go from Jamaica, London, Toronto, Tokyo, New York, Miami, San Francisco and back again.

CLICK HERE TO GO TO FACEBOOK EVENT PAGE

"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.

Set to be released Tuesday, March 23rd on the Greensleeves' release, Ragga Ragga Ragga, and to radio world wide, hear it first here:

SARAH BRINDELL

Keyboardist and singer/songwriter Sarah Brindell has been cooed over from east coast (the “newly minted diva of pop, funk and jazz” – Boston Globe) to west (“simply mesmerizing” – Time Out San Francisco). Dreaming Shoes, her second studio release following Piece Of Mind and Live At The Paradise, which evolves out of soul, folk, pop and Brazilian, as well as Caribbean rhythms, is an inspired journey from beginning to one, well, you just won’t want to end.

CAMERON GREENLEE

Stepping out from behind his day job as keyboardist for the seminal Jamaican ska group, The Skatalites, Cameron Greenlee’s debut release in which he takes the role of bandleader, Cameron and the Trenton Street Collaborative, fuses wicked roots reggae with delightful jazz alongside funky guitar riffs, beautiful piano, Rastafarian percussive beats, and triumphant horns.

SHEA ROSE (Cambridge, MA show only)

Boston native Shea Rose has been described as the female Lenny Kravitz meets Lauryn Hill. Shea was recently nominated for a 2010 New England Urban Music Award in the R&B Female category after opening the event in 2009. Shea also opened the Berklee ‘Women in Rock’ concert at the Berkelee Peformance Center last fall and was featured on Berklee's Heavy Rotation Records' Dorm Sessions 6 CD. She recently collaborated with Cindy Blackman on a six-song EP.
