Virtual Werlboss Blazes Some Grades With Hot Gyals Galore
Let’s say you’ve got a bad new tune and you want to shoot a video, but unfortunately your leading man is unavoidably detained. Head Concussion solved the creative dilemma with the power of technology. Sure, the CG video for Vybz Kartel’s “Hi” would have been even better with Di Teacha himself, but necessity is the mother of invention and every mickle mek a mockle. Video After The Jump…

Marsheezy & Sasco Dumbin’ Out Over Dollaz
Remember when Snoop said he had his mind on his money and his money on his mind? Well that’s how Wayne Marshall and Assassin are feeling on this hard-hitting tune. It may be the root of all evil, but it sure is fun to spend. And rarely has filthy luchre inspired such eloquent expressions of enthusiasm.

Michael “BiggzShip” Burbridge directs the gritty visuals for Chino’s tune on Rado’s hard-hitting First Capital Riddim. This one is aimed at the two-faced back-biting news-carrying smile-in-yuh-face dutty-heart people who so often surround us. Chino is wise enough to know that trust is a thing that must be earned, and once broken may never be returned. It’s a hard lesson that’s usually learned the hard way. Dig the image of the man lifting weights in the scrapyard, like he’s preparing for the battle of his life. Good over evil me say. Stick with this video until the end, and you can pree a preview of a next Chino tune called “Oh Jah” a JA Production that fits the overall theme. When everyone turns against you, who else can you trust but the Almighty? Boomshots is proud to premiere this official music video. Video After The Jump… (more…)

Is This Who Red Rat Was Talking About?
Back in 1997 Red Rat spotted a girl who made his “head swell and his blood pressure burst” thanks to her snugly fitting skirt. That was the same year Samantha J was born. Now she’s 16 years old and she’s got a major hit song on her hands, with a video that blends Britney, Rihanna and Gwen Stefani. No wonder MTV is calling it “Buzzworthy.” The track—co-written with Alaine and produced by Conroy Forte for Washroom Entertainment—is currently the #1 Most Shared, #2 Most Commented and #3 Overall Favorite on MTV.com. Click here for a first look at Samantha J’s debut video. “We wanted to show what Britney Spears’ ‘Hit Me Baby One More Time’ would have looked like if it was shot in Downtown Kingston with authentic dancehall choreography and dancers,” says Samantha.

Big Bad Musical Selection Straight Outta Ricky Blaze Basement
Mr Easy has always been that dude who was “Easy like Sunday morning” but beneath the surface he’s killing shit. This is a guy who won back-to-back episodese of “Showtime at the Apollo” singing “On The Wings of Love” inna dancehall style. This is a dude who grew up in Trelawney knowing a young Biggie Smalls, and went to the church where Biggie’s uncle was a pastor! And of course his BK dancehall credentials are impeccable—not to mention his work for Dave and Tony Kelly. But recently he’s been getting busy in Ricky Blaze’s basement studio, cutting tracks like this. No wonder the gal dem a call him “don.” Audio After The Jump…
From Buckingham Palace to Willesden Green The Northwest Londoner Drops A New Vid
The DJ who claim say him “Run England” is switching up the moves from “Sit Down Steady” to war between the sheets in his latest tune Middle East. Either way I fink you need a bed—or maybe not! Whatever the case, girls get ready. Mr Williamz pairs up with Curtis Lynch of the Nessassary Mayhem label to cause some mayhem. If you watch the video with the sound off it just looks like a couple of guys working hard in the studio on their grind making good music. But if you turn up the volume then its a whole different thing altogether. “Clap it two time and she bawl and scream” Oh Gosh! #SeeNoEvilHearNoEvil Video After The Jump…
The Grammy-Winning R&B Star Is A Bashment Girl At Heart
Melanie Fiona is best known for heart-wrenching hits like “It Kills Me” and “4 A.M.,” which have made the soulful singer a major star among American R&B fans. The two-time Grammy winner grew up in Toronto as the daughter of first-generation Guaynese immigrants. Her Caribbean influences have always been clear to the educated ear, from her dramatic vocal delivery to specific songs like “Somebody Come Get Me,” which was released under her old nom-de-reggae Syren Hall, as well as “No Cigarette Smoke,” her smoldering duet with Stephen Marley. Melanie continues to flaunt her Caribbean colors on “All My Love,” a new reggae-flavored duet with Toronto soul singer Glenn Lewis. Listening to the song there’s no mistaking the fact that Melanie’s Caribbean roots run deep. So we thought it would be cool to ask her to pick her top 10 reggae and dancehall tracks. Her picks speak volumes about her musical taste, her artistic temperment, and (dare we say it?) MF’s wild side. Click through the gallery above to check out Melanie’s selections and then read her candid conversation with Reshma B. Video And Interview After The Jump… (more…)
