Free Downloads Of Obi Fernadez' Solo Project!!

IF YOU HAVE NOT DOWNLOADED THESE YET…You are seriously out of it…

As a huge fan of his work with Westbound Train it seemed like a no-brainer that his solo stuff would be just as good and maybe even better in some ways. This is no slight on WBT, it’s just the thought that sometimes a writer has more freedom to let some things out that he may not have been able to fit under the full band’s headline. Lets just say he did not disappoint, With songs like “Pills” and Beautiful” standing out for me, I got a chance to hear what Fernandez has to say with his words in a more stripped down environment. Although inevitably I will still always enjoy listening Westbound Train more I do love hearing the separate entity and hearing how it’s influence is felt in the band, also having his lyrics really take center stage is great.

Jamaica’s 1 singer of all time, Barrington Levy is a driving force in reggae music and remains the perennial favourite of audiences in Jamaica - and throughout the world. Always a solid voice and a uniquely expressive song style, Barrington is consistently at the forefront of the music scene, and has become the most requested vocalist in reggae music history. In the late 1980’s, Barrington Levy began working with veteran producer Jah Screw, and together they created some of reggae’s most memorable recordings.

There was the classic album of Barrington’s greatest hits dubbed Broader Than Broadway, which is one of the best reggae collections ever created. This was released on the pioneering hip-hop label Profile, which helped Barrington to become more recognizable in the crossover market. After a stunning performance on the 1994 Sunsplash, Barrington was signed to MCA Records, but quickly parted ways with the label and began working with Jah Screw to make the Duets album, where Levy teamed with all the hottest DJs from Beenie Man to Lady Saw.

He came back larger than life with Bounti Killer on the song “Living Dangerously” - undisputedly the biggest reggae song of 1996, both in Jamaica and the United States, and for months held the 1 spot on the dancehall charts worldwide. Barrington was lifted to the top of the charts, his career in full swing again, and continues to remain at the top of playlists on every radio station in Jamaica, and dancehalls throughout the world.

Thanks as well to Arems & Neal from FREE UP WEDNESDAYS at Shine, Wayne Vernon, and Tank Girl from TING! THURSDAYS at Astoria, Mekey at www.bcdancehall.com, & Rico Uno & Genie from Re-Up.

More After The Jump!

IM PRETTY SURE I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS BEEN CHOMPING AT THE BIT FOR SOME NEW AGGRO TUNES…BUT THE WAIT IS ALMOST OVER!

The Aggrolites 5th Studio Album “Rugged Road” Is Set To Drop This Month On LP and Next Month On CD Via Young Cub Records!

By the sounds of the samples online It seems as though the boys from LA have returned to their old ways of off the cuff jams and one take recordings. Off the cuff is fine by me as that was the formula for their debut masterpiece “Dirty Reggae” which defined their sound.

The Album features a solid 10 Tracks of Aggro Brand Funky Reggae A Few Great Instrumental Tracks and a new aggro anthem of sorts.

TO TAKE A PEAK AT WHAT IS COMING CHECK OUT THE AMAZON PAGE HERE!

You will be able to get these brand new songs in a few different ways either on LP or MP3 Download on February 22nd 2011 or CD on March 22nd 2011.

you can also pick up a few of them on 45” Which Is Awesome For Your DJ Friend!!
