    HEAR THIS: Lady Saw ft. Flo-Rida “Heels On” Remix

    Muma Saw Now Ridin with the Flo

    After her storming performance at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center during last weekend’s Irie Jamboree’s Caribbean Fever Music Fest, Lady Saw fans can put their minds at rest. It seems like the Queen is gonna hang on to that crown for a little longer. Muma Saw wasted no time before dispelling the recent rumors about her leaving the dancehall industry. “I said I would retire on the 31st,” she said as she took the stage at Barclays. “But I didn’t say what month! I’ll be retiring on the 31st of the 31st month of 2031!” To celebrate the occasion Saw’s teamed up with Flo-Rida to drop a remix of her latest chart-topper “Heels On.” Both artists performed at Reggae Sumfest in July so maybe the inspiration for this collab happened around that time. Hey she’s free to do as she pleases cause “Man ah de least” of her problems innit? Whatever the case let the music play! Audio After The Jump…

    The first time Gramps Morgan met India Arie she enthused about how much she loved his voice, particularly his song “Psalms 23” with Buju Banton. They kept things on a spiritual tip as they went on to forge a strong creative relationship, working  on songs for each other’s albums and even touring together for a time. Their latest reggae duet appears on Songversation, India’s first album in over four years. Its earnestly prayerful lyrics are back by a majestic horn section and dubby echo effects.  Audio After The Jump… (more…)

    Last night was Labor Day, the biggest reggae night of the year in NYC, perfect time for another edition of Boomshots Reggae Mondays at SOBs. We knew the Ghetto Youths International showcase was going to be a special. After all we’ve been rocking with GYI since long before their big album “Set Up Shop vol. 1” hit stores, so we know what Wayne Marshall, Christopher Ellis, Black Am I, and Jo Mersa are capable of. Also we caught Damian & Stephen Marley’s sets at Hot 97’s On Da Reggae tip (Friday) and at Barclays Center for the Caribbean Fever Music Fest (Sunday) so we knew the potential for some serious vibes. Still this show exceeded all expectations. Jr. Gong and Ragga Marley were officially just hosting the showcase but they decided to go hard with a full set including Julian “Ju Ju Royal” Marley and a guest appearance by Spragga Benz. Boomshots family wishes to thank the Ghetto Youths posse for blessings us with an epic night of real reggae music. EveryTINGtun up. Video After The Jump…
