Definitely coming back with a vengeance is Olivia. The former Rnb DIVA of G Unit, she’s rolling through 2011 armed with a new sound, and upcoming album. While she officially released a single & video “DECEMBER” in April. Leaks have been coming up from her forthcoming album. Previously HDP posted, “LSSL (Lick Salt Shot Lime)” and now we have a cute & catchy summer tune ft Sean Kingston (fyi – he was recently released from the hospital after a stay due to water skiing injuries). In finding the link for “DECEMBER”, we saw a few comments saying, “glad she’s bring RnB back” however, listening to the leaks and even the “December” single, is this what RnB is called now? Seems more like she’s going for a “general mainstream” sound or simply “pop”. Will be interesting to see what the “overall” sound of her album will be.

Blending images of life in Jamaica with the angst of a struggling family, it  is a well executed video, directed by the artist himself.

One riddim that will definitely keep playing in 2011 is Seanizzle’s “One Day”. With Seanizzle himself, just releasing his video “One Day” this past week, the lifetime of this infectious riddim has been extended. Naturally what happens over the course of a riddim play span is, the more popular it becomes, more artist add their voice to it. While most of these are unofficial or never even get noticed, there is one addition to the “One Day” riddim, that I found as a positive addition. Tilibop’s “Bring Yuh Seed”. I could be biased being that I’m a parent, but his lyrics are an applaud to those young females, that choose to be mothers and have their babies. Regarding the lyrics, Tilibop stated “There are a lot of teenage pregnancy out there and am just applauding the mothers who bring dem seed” While teenage pregnancy continues to be an issue, and

When I tell people where I live at, and explain what I do, everybody response is REALLY? in VIRGINIA? Yes really, in Virginia there is a huge reggae/dancehall community here. While I can admit there is a disconnect sometimes between what’s playing in Jamaica, NY or Florida, our community has sustained a long time now. Anyways enough blah blah . . . One of the artist emerging out of Virginia by way of Jamaica is Dagga. In the world of RnB he could be a crooner called Darren, but in dancehall he’s Dagga Relentless aka Dagga Masta. At the young age of 20, he’s already mastered the dancefloor. As a part of Relentless Movements, he’s maturing his skills as a selector, but his heart lies in music. Much aware that he has a long road to travel, Dagga is already winning by branching out and setting his musical goals. Experimenting

Are you trying to figure that name out? No it’s not some ghetto american name, it’s a term coined by rising UK Dancehall artist, Fresharda. A rising artist out of the UK, Fresharda draws from his Jamaican roots to pull his sound together. Previewing the song already to some listeners, his current single has been well received and leave people confused to know WHAT artist is this, “he sounds like bounty or maybe aidonia”. Well it’s a whole new ting . . . an experienced producer and rising artist, Fresharda is primed to take over!!!! Check out his current single TIPSY WHINE below:

His song might be about twisted things, but this rising artist is not. Releasing the song and video “Ears Hard” a few months ago, he backs that single up with another powerful tune, “TWISTED”.  Vybrant has an energetic powerful voice, that he backs up with great lyrical content. Check him out on his facebook @ http://www.facebook.com/vybrantfire.

Well he calls himself THE GENERAL. The term just may be befitting of him considering, let’s see here, I’ve got youtube footage all over NY, selectin & dancin, some footage from ITALY (yes he’s GLOBAL) and a few links for LIVE mixes from Italy and Switzerland. He actually made a special appearance in VA, about 2 years back at Selector Fabulous BDay Bash. When he DJ’d for B-Randi and let me tell you . . . she MASHED up the place on his selection.
