It’s the kind of song that quietly worms its way into your mind—perfect for fans craving something familiar yet refreshingly different.

Sometimes the smoothest transitions happen when you're not watching too closely. That's the vibe Iotosh is riding with "What's the Pree"—a sun-kissed journey that feels like windows-down freedom on a Sunday afternoon drive through the hills of Jamaica.

Recording at Protoje's Habitat Studio, Iotosh has crafted something that flows like a gentle breeze through palm trees. The track, co-written with Kyraxx, doesn't announce its intentions so much as it invites you to ride shotgun and just... be. It's the kind of song that makes you nod your head without realizing you're doing it.

What's particularly sweet about this release is how it captures Iotosh in mid-flight. Artists often talk about transition, but rarely do they manage to bottle the feeling of change itself. Here, Iotosh does just that—creating a soundtrack for evolution that feels as natural as watching clouds shift shape across a Kingston sky.

As a teaser for his upcoming 8-track EP "For The People" (dropping November 20th), "What's the Pree" suggests we're in for a collection that values the journey as much as the destination. It's music that doesn't try to convince you of anything—it just creates space for you to find your own groove.

"What's The Pree" is a laid-back groove that feels like the musical equivalent of a deep breath and a slow smile. Iotosh isn't just making music for the people; he's creating spaces for them to exist in their most natural state.

"For The People" EP available for pre-order now on Bandcamp.

Look, we've all been that person at a party who knows they can dance but is waiting for the right song to hit. That's basically been Zhayna in Jamaica's music scene – until now. Her new track "Attention" isn't just asking for it – it's demanding it with a cheeky grin and a confident strut.

After bubbling under the surface in Jamaica's grassroots scene like a pot of perfectly-timed curry, Zhayna's finally turned up the heat. This track, cooked up with producer YoChristin, is serving exactly what it needs to: a moment that makes you go "Oh, so THAT'S what she's capable of!"

The visuals? Let's just say whoever directed this video understood the assignment. It's eye-catching in that "I should probably get back to work but just one more replay" kind of way.

Is this the spark that lights the bonfire of Zhayna's mainstream career? 

The track certainly has that sticky quality – you know, the kind that has you humming it in the shower three days later. 

While only time will tell if "Attention" becomes her breakthrough moment, one thing's for sure: she's not just knocking on the door of Jamaica's music scene anymore – she's picking out curtains for her new room.

*Catch you in three months either saying "I told you so" or pretending we never made that prediction. Either way, this track slaps.*

As the second reggae revival unfolds, a refreshing fusion of sounds emerges within this vibrant musical landscape. Jah Vezl stands out as a distinctive voice, carving out a unique space for himself with his latest single, "Freedom Fighter," which resonates deeply with themes of resilience and empowerment.

The powerful anthem merges traditional reggae elements with innovative rhythms, pushing the genre's boundaries while honoring its rich heritage.

What makes Jah Vezl's artistry compelling is his authenticity and purpose.

Each note in "Freedom Fighter" serves as a call to action, urging listeners to embrace their inner strength and fight for their freedom—socially, personally, and spiritually.

In a time of change and uncertainty, Jah Vezl's music becomes a beacon of hope, reminding us of the power of unity and the importance of standing firm in our convictions. "Freedom Fighter" is not just a song; it's an invitation to join the movement for a freer, more equitable world, establishing Jah Vezl as an artist to watch in the reggae revival.

There's something fascinatingly unpredictable about Kim Weirdo's journey in music. Since dropping her "Murder Love" EP back in 2015 – a release that turned heads with its unorthodox approach – she's moved like a ghost through the industry, popping up for carefully chosen collaborations with forward-thinking producers like "Red Boom" Reid and the folks at MIA Productions.

Her sporadic appearances might seem random to some, but there's a method to this madness. Each release feels less like a bid for attention and more like a transmission sent when the moment is exactly right. Her latest single, "All I Want Is You," proves this patient approach pays off.

The new track is a perfect example of why timing can be everything. While some artists flood the market with content, Weirdo's selective release strategy allows each song to stand as its own moment, and "All I Want Is You" demands that kind of space. It's the kind of track that sneaks up on you – the sort you might play casually at first, only to find yourself hitting repeat without really knowing why.

What makes this single particularly special is how it manages to feel both fresh and familiar at once. It's like running into an old friend who's grown in all the right ways – recognizable at its core but full of surprising new depths. For those who've been following Weirdo's artistic evolution, this track feels less like a comeback and more like a natural emergence, as if she's been quietly perfecting it all along.

Simply put, "All I Want Is You" isn't just worth adding to your playlist – it's the kind of track that might have you reorganizing that playlist just to give it the proper context it deserves.

You know, I've been sitting with Tori Lattore's new track *"Take Control"* for a minute, and there's something really special happening here.

It's part of this *Island Wave Riddim* project from ZJ Sparks and Loud City, and honestly, it's hitting different. Lattore's always had these flashes of brilliance in her singles, but this time? She's really found her pocket.

It's pretty cool seeing how this came together. You've got ZJ Sparks, who's basically dancehall royalty at this point, linking up with Dan and MG out in Seattle. They're doing this really interesting thing where they're keeping that authentic island foundation but weaving in these subtle electronic touches.

The whole thing just feels... thoughtful, you know?

Like they really took their time with it instead of just rushing something out..

The way Lattore rides this beat is something else. Her voice has this way of just... floating over everything while still keeping this quiet strength to it. The hook gets stuck in your head, but not in that annoying way – more like it just feels right at home there.

What really gets me thinking is how this track kind of pushes back against what's becoming normal in the scene. These days, you hear so many riddims that sound like they came off an assembly line, but this? This feels crafted. It's like ZJ Sparks and Loud City are quietly showing everyone that you don't have to follow the formula to make something that hits.

When you step back and look at the bigger picture, *"Take Control"* feels like one of those moments where everything just clicks. Lattore's showing us what she's really capable of, and this production team is proving they know exactly what they're doing in pushing dancehall forward. It's pretty exciting to see where this might lead.

In Jamaica, talent seems to bloom from every nook and cranny, and recently we had the chance to met a humble studio engineer at the illustrious Frankie Music Studio who has unveiled himself as a musical gemstone in the rough.

In the quaint town of Uppsala, Sweden, a musical journey began that would ultimately touch the souls of reggae enthusiasts across the globe. This gifted artist, who would later come to be known as Ras Teo, was about to embark on a transformative odyssey that would span decades.

For Ras Teo it was a simple yet profound gift from his friend, Affe Ashkar, that would set the wheels of destiny in motion. Affe handed Teo a mixed cassette tape, an unassuming present that carried the power to ignite a lifelong passion.

The music on that tape was reggae, and the artists it showcased were like prophets of a higher order.

Ijahman Levi's ethereal melodies, Fred Locks' spiritual resonance, and Hugh Mundell's soul-stirring compositions—these were the divine providence that whispered to Ras Teo's heart. 

They beckoned him to immerse himself in the rich, soulful waters of reggae music.

From that moment on, Ras Teo began his sacred pilgrimage, collecting reggae tunes that resonated with his soul's deepest vibrations. 

With every song he acquired, he grew closer to the celestial roots of reggae, channelling the afro culture's energy into the roots of his being.

Throughout her career, Sunshyne P has sung with choirs, choruses, and jazz bands; but for the past eight years, the sultry reggae crooner has been singing solo.

Having a multicultural background has enabled her to produce music that transcends borders, differences, and religious beliefs. With her tracks, Sunshyne beautifully combines current affairs with her own life experiences.

With an ever-burning passion, Sunshyne P has set out to create music that inspires her growing fanbase to persevere beyond their struggles.

From battle cries of peace with "Where is Love" featuring Almighty P and an ode to her children with "Let It Go" featuring Juelio, to sharing the stage with heavyweights such as Beenie Man, Sunshyne has proven she is an unmistakable force of music, and is dedicated to creating music that stands the test of time.

Persistence is to try they say, but the artist from central Jamaica known as Heavy Reyn is paying his dues and building his credibility in an unforgiving and crowded marketplace.

Despite his rich multilingual family background in entertainment, Heavy Reyn refused to take a shortcut to stardom, and in 2016 deciding to make his own mark, enduring years of creative struggle in the process.

Throughout the next half a decade, he would hone his craft, while his counterparts from his home ground of Manchester earned themselves shorts bursts of fame, he hustled his music in the digital underground basements of Audiomack, and Soundcloud focused on his long term goal to be a self defined intellectual in the new dancehall.

With artists such as Agent Sasco, Vybz Kartel, Damian Marley, and Skillibeng among the artist on his vision board, Heavy Reyn is carefully plotting his place in mainstream Dancehall.

His latest single "Sign" on the Vein Riddim by Ice Cold Records, shows the emerging artist holding his own among household heavyweights such as Turbulence, Cutty Ranks, and Singer Irie, signalling that he might just be ready to push the homegrown musical envelope.

"Sign" has so far racked up over 50,000 Spotify streams since its release and has been earning the young gun nods of respect in homegrown circles and as far as Tanzania.

The Dualers are a nine-piece band from South London.

They first hit the headlines when the single “Kiss on the Lips” stormed into the UK Top 30 despite no industry or professional backing.

The follow-up single "Truly Madly" was featured in full on the Hollywood blockbuster Fools Gold, and now they have several album releases and several top 40 chart singles to their name. With a large fan base behind them—including 12 sellout shows at Indigo at the O2 in London—their success has continued.

An understated veteran in Reggae music, Jahmark & The Soulshakers band follows up 2018's critically acclaimed "Happiness Album" with a body of work that could surely make a worthy Grammy submission.

"Vigilance" kicks off with the heavy-hitting social commentary "City Of Angels", and rolls into the unity call "Selassie I Train", a big spark in the album's traditional approach to its soundscape.

"Still A Suffer" is a whimsical and witty delivery reminiscent of Pluto Shervington and Ernie Smith, and Jahmark uses the opportunity to showcase his Jamaican musical palette across the face of "Vigilance".

The sunny serenade "Angel Eyes" gives way to the militant outcry "Fire Burning".

"Spread My Wings" is a skippable track, and rolls into the horn driven "Feed The Starving Children", before the title track "Vigilance" brings back the album full center, with a freedom call that is not only relevant, but well executed.

The album at this point feels vintage and warmingly opens into the nyabinghi hymnal and ode, "Rastafari Come".

"Live & Direct" speaks to his passion to deliver his music "live and direct" and over the last 3 decades he has mastered that output.

The romantic affirmation "African Queenwoman" grants the listener a welcomed breather that is like a sip of lyrical cool, but Jahmark warms up back like a hot kettle with "Tallawah". After which the album feels a bit disjointed, but ends on an admirable note with the acoustica "This Love..Jah Love''.

"Vigilance" is a robust body of work with 15 tracks to the tape and rather than fuse or blend, Jahmark maintains a musical palette that is authentically traditional to the Reggae soundscape, though the album feels a bit disjointed at certain points Jahmark & The Soulshakers undersold and over delivered and managed to compensate with the depth of work and detail that continues to push the boundaries of his homegrown Reggae music.

In his second musical incarnation the artist once known as Rendeva now "Devagad", is a total rebrand; and it shows in his first effort "Affi Give Thanks".

The simple but infectious single is a song of gratitude, and though it is unapologetic in its afrobeat roots, the Jamaican artist does a fairly impressive job in keeping it homegrown with a versatile adaptation of afrobeat vocal accents, that seemed to have become a signature part of the 2022 music soundscape.

"Affi Give Thanks" has the construct to be a great product. But like many of his emerging counterparts, they fail miserably on the packaging.

Visually appealing cover artwork is still very relevant to the consumer experience, especially as a young artist delivering a song with such strong potential.

That being said, Devagad's "Affi Give Thanks" is a natural earworm that can be digested in any setting, and is a noble and unapologetic attempt at blending afrobeat's earthiness with Dancehall's lyrical landscape.

Produced by Elite Pack Entertainment, "Affi Give Thanks" is now available on all streaming platforms.

23-year-old Meime's latest release, "Puff Puff Pass", is yet another admirable attempt by the Florida native to fuse a cornucopia of soundscapes and rhythmic influences with her spicy  personality.

Though the production value leaves a bit more to be desired for more discerning ears, "Puff Puff Pass" proves that Meime has the potential to be a seasoned contender in the mainstream music circuit.

Jamaican Reggae Fusion superstar Protoje stuck to his track-a-month commitment and dropped "Family" with fellow Fusion star Jesse Royal.

A big swing from his last release, "Incient Stepping", the Hip-hop tainted single hints itself as an unapologetic ode to Protoje's rapper roots yet somehow still stays true to his smokey Reggae Revival background.

With over 1.2 Million Monthly Spotify listeners Protoje continues to play a delicate balance between the rooted influences of homegrown music, and the infused influences of the Global Music mainstream, and like his approach or not, "Family" featuring Jesse Royal is a blurred line that has subtly pushed the boundaries and possibilities of the modern Global Reggae Soundscape, just a little bit further outside of the box.
