NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert Series Presents: Koffee (Video)
March 6, 2020
Ayeeeeeee! Let the party happen! It’s a vibe, not a wave. That’s why your body (and soul) sway as you enjoy this performance straight from the Tiny Desk. If you are at a ‘tiny desk’ of your own right now, know that you will soon be free… as soon as you press play above!
Above all, what makes Koffee so refreshing is that she centers her music around faith, resilience and gratitude. She has a new perspective to add to the pantheon of mostly male reggae greats and it’s resonating with a new generation that’s just getting hip to the iconic sounds. As her Tiny Desk performance shows, Koffee makes the best of her surroundings, channeling the day’s buzzy energy into a balancing act of youthful heart and old-pro precision, proving why she has become one of the most invigorating voices in reggae.

Skip Marley – “Slow Down” feat. H.E.R. (Video)
January 10, 2020
We can have just one night, or we can have one whole life…
Hell of a line, Skip Marley. Gotta run that one some day just to see how it plays. And I gotta try it on someone as sensual as H.E.R. (and hmmm, I might have that someone in mind). What a way to start a Cuffin’ Weekend. Put this smooth jawn on, put something laid back and sexy on to match, then settle down and warm things up with each other like someone struck a match! Now, that’s a plan AND goals…
Yeah. Sometimes we gotta just “Slow Down” (ya know).

Those who know already know: Jr. Gong can go! Not leaning on the Marley name or legacy, rather he is upholding it! Watch a small sample of his doing so above.
Watch Damian ‘Jr. Gong’ Marley play “Slave Mill,” “So a Child May Follow” and “Speak Life” at the Tiny Desk.

Dancehall: Christopher Martin – “LIFE” (Prod. By Omar Anthoneil Samuels x Cory William Stoneman) [Video]
July 15, 2019
Maybe not the Chris Martin you were expecting… Bonus points for you if it was. Check out this Christopher Martin video for “Life” off his album, “And Then” (out now).
The video was good vibes, it was good to have my brother Busy Signal [who has a cameo in the video]. We just wanted a simple video that captured the message, showing the simplicity in life and just hanging out.

Koffee – “Toast” (Video)
November 22, 2018
Blessings! Life should be celebrated like this. Always.
Something about looking at the world through the eyes of the youngest among us – like 18-year-old Koffee. Simplicity, straightforward path to joy and what makes a day a good day. That’s the vibe I get watching this visual. Watch up and “Toast” up!

The History Of Sister Nancy’s “Bam Bam” (Video)
October 2, 2017
Wow! The origin/evolution story of one of the quintessential Hip-Hop melodies told in a dope montage. Respect Sister Nancy!
The music of reggae legend Sister Nancy has played a pivotal role in Hip-Hop for over 30 years, but she’s rarely seen profits from her influence. Recently, Jay-Z sampled Nancy’s “Bam Bam” for his track “Bam,” the same song Kanye West reworked for his ‘The Life of Pablo’ cut “Famous.” Genius decided to trace the song’s evolution from a local hit to a frequently-sampled component of Hip-Hop.

Konshens – “Gal Dem Sugar” (Video)
May 23, 2017
You see the title, and I know you thought what I thought… Konshens better not be trying to ‘slick bite’ off Beenie Man and Mya’s “Girl Dem Sugar” or else. But hold up, you get into the music (which is good) and the video (yup, that good-good), and realize that it kinda is. However, I took this as Konshens’ channeling of the essence of that Beenie–Mya. Massive cool dancehall is the result. Nice!
Jamaican reggae and dancehall artiste Konshens presents the official music vide for his 2016 single, “Gal Dem Sugar,” directed by RD Studios and G. Spence. Filmed on location in Jamaica.

DJ Fourd Nkay – “Straight Heat Radio” (September 2016) [Mixtape]
September 21, 2016
Global grinding! Straight outta Japan, DJ Fourd Nkay uploaded a new “Straight Heat Radio” mix – including brand new Hip-Hop, R&B, Reggae – and hit the hip. Literally! Texted like “Check this out!” Usually has Westside Flip doing the talking, but pulling double duty on this September 2016 edition. Hood hard trapping out the gate, so prepare yourself. Got just past the 11-minute and heard
“You know what… I f#ck with people from ATL, people from NY, people JAPAN at the same damn time!”
Priceless!! Never doubt the WORLDWIDE appeal of Hip-Hop! And DJ Fourd Nkay put it out there: coming back to Atlanta SOON (in town for A3C, first week of October 2016)!
(A listen will get you crunk guaranteed. Interesting to note that around the 29-minute mark comes the declaration that Young M.A is the hottest act coming out of New York. Just posted on her on here. Dope!)

Popcaan – “High All Day” (Video)
May 20, 2016
High All Day. High All Night. High All Day Long.
What do YOU think Popcaan is chanting about? This “High All Day” single is all about that Merry Jane. Smoke ’em if you got ’em… especially in Colorado. Mile High… Nah, this is a ‘mild high.’
Rihanna – “Work” feat. Drake (Video)
February 22, 2016
Rihanna is that "Fun Girl" you used to kick it with. You may or may not marry her but she's always fun. That type of vibe
— Jay Force (@Jayforce) February 22, 2016
Some of these new pop songs are really just reggae records without the patois. Rihanna "Work… Justin Bieber – "I'm Sorry", etc etc
