 SANJAY AND BEENIE MAN WANT ‘A PIECE A DI WINE’

Kingston Jamaica, February 1, 2012:- Noted lyricist Sanjay and ace deejay Beenie Man have teamed up to drop a hot track called Piece A Di Wine. The dancehall song will be released at the Youth View Awards after party this Saturday February four and will also feature on iTunes shortly after.

 Piece A Di Wine is another notch in Sanjay’s cap as he continues to release infectious songs that have become anthems on the ground. Sanjay hit it big in 2007 with Man Of My Word and has since consistently followed up with both dancehall and reggae numbers which have made him a perennial staple on the local music scene.

 Piece A Di Wine is another in a slew of creditable collaborations by Sanjay who in 2002 debuted with Strictly Physical  featuring Tami Chynn, a song which preceded collabs with Vybz Kartel, Cecile and Aidonia to name a few. Based on his lyrical talents and niche appeal Sanjay is able to pick from the crème de la crème of Jamaican artistes with which to collaborate. Now he adds this track with Beenie Man to his repertoire.

 Piece A Di Wine was produced by Conroy from Washroom Entertainment for Sanjay’s Portland Cottage Productions. The track features Sanjay in his supreme lyrical element belting out lines such as: “Me have di thuggin, huggin, luvin weh she a bawl fi, So, come link up…gimme a small pree, Me mek you see the light, like dis a diwali”. With lyrics  like that it’s no wonder Sanjay is rated as one of the top lyricists in the game and one who always has fans on edge expecting his next twist of metaphors.

 Beenie Man on the other hand comes with his signature swagg; laying down confident lines that have endeared him to the dancehall masses for over two decades. The dancehall king heralds his arrival on the track by confessing: “Gal you see that text deh, me meant it, just the way me sent it, Gal the way you wine, gal you gimme the eccentric, You want a private-I so you called it, no small fit, Obey you thirst mek me quench it”. Beenie Man and Sanjay are a balanced combination of real dancehall flavour with lyrical dept on a solid Washroom beat.

 Piece A Di Wine empathises Sanjay’s lyrical prowess and dexterity and also shows that the artiste continues to release relevant material for today’s dancehall audience.  Sanjay believes that this song will be a club banger that will have dancehall fans moving: “I went lyrical on the last single, Harder They Fall and now I’m going back to the ladies! This song has all the elements to make for a dancehall party anthem… a infectious chorus, good lyrics, Beenie Man’s swagg and star power and a hard hitting Washroom produced authentic dancehall riddim!! Ladies… just get ready FI WINE!”

 Piece A Di Wine will premier in Jamaica on February four exclusively at the Youth View Awards after party to be staged at National Indoor Sports Arena.

Dancehall Diva Tifa Celebrates in Pink

December 7th, 2011

Sugarman Beach in Portmore will be decked in pink and white come Sunday, December 11, when dancehall diva Tifa, celebrates her birthday surrounded by the people she loves most, family, friends and her growing list of fans.  The event staged through T.I.F.A Promotions, is dubbed Pink Xstacy and features a host of dancehall’s hottest selectors, expected to keep the beach alive between two o’clock in the afternoon and midnight.

 

It’s been three years since the sultry singjay celebrated her birthday with an event and she’s pulling out all the stops to ensure that a good time is had by all.  Tifa stated that, It’s been a hectic three years, I’ve been working really hard and for the last three years I’ve always been working on my birthday.  But this year I decided that I need to have fun for my birthday”.

 

Patrons who sport the pink and white theme gain entry to the beach party for $1,000 while those without pay $1,500, with special ladies two for one deal before 6pm.  Tifa hinted that many of her friends from the dancehall are expected to pass through the venue and just might touch the stage.  The fast rising star known for such songs as Wine Matey Wine, Wedding Chapel, Dash Out, Man Haffi Come Home and Tick it Lock said fans could also hear her signature Ah wah do D-E-M, but she stressed that it’s a party not a stage show so any performances will be limited, as the focus will be on dancing and connecting with her fans, who she notes have been so good to her. I just want to have fun with my fans, my family, my friends and well-wishers.  It’s a chance for my fans to get close to me and me to get close to them as I will be moving from booth to booth and interacting with everyone” said Tifa.

I-WAYNE ANNOUNCES ALBUM LAUNCH EVENT FOR LIFE TEACHINGS AT THE LEGENDARY BOB MARLEY MUSEUM ON DEC 6

December 5th, 2011

On Dec 6, 2012, I-Wayne will deliver a special performance at Bob Marley Museum in celebration of his latest album Life Teachings, available Oct 11 on VP Records. The private event is invitation only and will include press and industry tastemakers throughout Jamaica. Other artists set to perform are Tarrus Riley, Agent Sasco, Bongo Herman, Mutabaruka and Jah 9. The festivities kick off at 7pm and will come to a close at 11pm.  The Bob Marley Museum is located at 56 Hope Road in Kingston, Jamaica.

 

Life Teachings is I-Wayne’s long-overdue album, following his 2007 sophomore release Book Of Life. The intricately-crafted album features organic rhythms rife with rugged basslines and one-drop drumbeats produced mostly by Patrick Z. Henry, who is responsible for 11 of the album’s songs and I-Wayne’s breakthrough hit “Can’t Satisfy Her.”  On Life Teachings, I Wayne rejects materialism (“Wise and Fearless”), predicts the imminent downfall of Babylon (“Burn Down Sodom”), rails against the violence associated with “Drug and Rum Vibes,” exalts Rastafari’s holy herb (“Herb Fi Legalize”) and successfully ventures into dancehall terrain with “The Fire Song” featuring Agent Sasco and produced by Gareth Campbell.

 

Understanding the significance of creating a balance in life as well as in music, several songs on Life Teachings display a romantic sensitivity not often seen from I Wayne. “The Nile”, “Empress Divine”, “I Care For You” and “Life Service” each extol women who uphold natural livity (lifestyle). “Life Joy,” produced by Marcus “Icus” Deacon, is a hit bound, sultry R&B flavored duet featuring popular Jamaican songstress Etana. The resplendent roots reggae gem, “Real and Clean” is I Wayne’s sweetly seductive declaration of love set to an Irresistible one-drop beat.

 

Born Cliffroy Taylor, 32 years ago, the Kingston native, captivated fans in 2005 with his debut release Lava Ground and its trilogy of hits, “Can’t Satisfy Her,” “Living In Love” and “Lava Ground;” and in 2007 he released his second album Book Of Life, which also landed on Billboard’s Reggae chart. “Can’t Satisfy Her” is still considered one of the most captivating reggae tunes, which charted to no. 31 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart in the United States.

O’NEIL HAS FAITH IN HIS MUSIC

December 2nd, 2011

Kingston Jamaica, December 2, 2011:- Life music artiste O’Neil Duncan says he has faith that his music will continue to touch hearts. The artiste who last month released his debut album in Cayman is also planning to visit Jamaica over the Christmas holidays to promote the work dubbed I Know.

 

To promote the first single off the album O’Niel has also done a video for the song WHAT WE NEED IS LOVEThe video which was directed by Asha for Fareye films has been released globally and is currently in rotation on local cable and free to air television.

 

Inspired by the high levels of crime and violence in Jamaica, the video captures in very simple yet realistic way how even an innocent child can be a positive catalyst for change. This piece will carry the viewer through on a life changing journey.

 

Set at the Coronation Market Jamaica, the proverbial cultural melting pot of the island, the piece highlights a little girl, portrayed as an angel whose mission is to spread a message of love to those in despair. The message here is quite simple - even a little child shall lead them.

 

The dramatic presentation is quite effective as the situations are real and so are the characters. Asha reveals that the characters ably contributed to the overall appeal of the video: “This video was set in Coronation market because we wanted to get an authentic fell of the hustle and bustle of Jamaica. The video while simple is very powerful and I think caries the message of the song effectively”.

 

A teacher by profession, ONeil says he wants people to reach out to God at all times and in all situations: “What we Need is Love is a cry for Jamaica and the video I believe echoes that cry. I hope Jamaicans will gain inspiration from it”.

 

Asked about the response to the album and single so far O’Niel says the reception has been encouraging: “People love the album and are inspired by it. It is amazing how it has touched many and this is the reason I continue to have faith in the music”

 

Expect more from O’Neil as he continues to reveal his brand of inspirational music.
