Royal Blu x Runkus - G (official music video)

Royal Blu And Runkus Remind You To Keep It “G” With New Single

There has been quite a bit of talk surrounding the ever-changing nature of the music emerging from Jamaica these days. It is apparent that many artists and producers have been ‘colouring’ their music with not only the classic, traditional sounds of reggae and dancehall, but with other genres as well, thus creating something entirely unique. This ‘revival’ is no stranger to rising artist Royal Blu who is always ‘pushing the needle’ with his flows and sounds. The most recent product of this is “G”, a traphall song with an old-school dancehall classic beat at its core. The single features fellow Delicious Vinyl Island labelmate Runkus, and is produced by J.LL. The production of the beat came out of a conversation Blu and Runkus had when they were selecting riddims for a freestyle during a sound system show. “I instantly thought of the Stalag Riddim, and these lyrics ended up fitting perfectly on it,” Blu said. "So, from the reception it got at the show, Runkus brought up the idea to sample the riddim and have J.LL. produce it.” Blu describes “G” as a song encouraging people to keep their energy consistent throughout everything. “Since doing music professionally, there have been many naysayers and people who didn’t believe in my sound or image,” he said. “People who avidly tried to block me out. So I’m really just expressing how people can switch up based on success and try to be a part of the ‘bandwagon’.“ Along with the single, a video was shot on location at Blu’s alma mater, the Meadowbrook High School by director Fernando Hevia, and produced by the artists’ record label, Delicious Vinyl Island. It features cameos from fellow artists Leno Banton, Naomi Cowan, Courtni, Zhayna, Jamila Falaka and more.  The single is set for release across all streaming platforms on Friday, December 18.

Junior Toots Sings Sweet and Dandy Tribute to His Father

Toots Hibbert

Kingston, Jamaica (December 8, 2020) - Great music never

gets old, especially when Junior Toots releases the newest

remake of his father’s famous track, Sweet and Dandy. The

Toots Hibbert's legacy lives on through Junior Toots, born and

raised in St Mary, Jamaica. The idea to record Sweet and Dandy

came from Toots Sr. who produced the track for his son.

Released on December 8, 2020, marks the day that would have

been the 78th birthday for the recently transitioned Toots Hibbert

or “Nyah” as he was called by his family.

The Artist, in his own right, is a seasoned performer and

professional recording artist. His performances display high

energy, creative lyrics, and a massive passion for Roots Reggae

music. He has graced the stages of festivals and venues across

the USA giving his fans the opportunity to integrate his socially

conscious messages with inspiration.

For musical nostalgia fans, Toots and the Maytals’ original Sweet

and Dandy LP was released back in 1969 on Beverley’s Records

(1961-1971). The title song, Sweet and Dandy was the first track on

the B side of the album. The LP’s other biggest hits were Monkey

Man, Pressure Drop, and 54-46, That’s My Number.
