Laygus releases the Afrobeats love song 'You're Right For Me' on Internatiomal Lover's Day.

Kingston, Jamaica -- April 2024 -- It's only April, but Laygus is coming in hot with his new song, "You're Right for Me." The multifaceted talent, who has recently signed to Bowen-Seales Entertainment, hails the latest effort as an exciting foray into Afrobeats. Dedicated to his wife, the steamy love song has arrived on International Lover's Day.

"You're Right For Me" is on course to wow listeners, as Laygus' enchanting voice cascades over a feel good riddim. This is a new great sound for Laygus, which one can wholeheartedly embrace as a reintroduction to fans. Boasting a dynamic skillset, many have only been privvy to Laygus as a deejay on hard hitting Dancehall riddims for more than a decade.

"Yeah mon, 'You're Right For Me' showcases my growth and another side of Laygus that most people don't know....until now," the artist says.

A proud Kingstonian and Jamaican, Laygus was born Sadeki Chin. Why Afrobeats some fans might ask? Laygus also grew up with a great sense of African pride and was even given an African (Swahili & Arabic) first name. As fate has it, Laygus developed a penchant for African music and ultimately, African movies.

Laygus releases 'You're Right For Me.'

"I chose the Afrobeats format because of my love for African music and culture," says Laygus. "Inevitably, their culture is a reflection of my people and culture. I feel right at home. I'll go ahead and say, it's in the DNA."

Where did Laygus get his name? The entertainer explains, “Being a fan of African movies, I used to hear LAGOS (Nigeria's largest city) referenced all the time. I would imitate the dialogue so much so that my friends started calling me the man from Lagos. I altered the spelling to Laygus, so that DJs would stop saying it wrong," Laygus adds with a chuckle.

Laygus anticipates great things for "You're Right For Me" and his new musical approach. Committed to sharing positive music with the universe, "love" is the central theme of "You're Right For Me." -- so it was only natural to release the moving song on International Lover's Day.

Laygus says the interconnectedness of African and Jamaican music and culture fueled an Afrobeats direction.

"I want this record to invoke feelings of love, especially a sense of love for your special person," says Laygus. "Upon listening, everyone should be proud of their partner, even if it's for the smallest thing, which they might often overlook."

Laygus and Bowen-Seales Entertainment share a common vision for "You're Right For Me," namely, one of epic proportion. They believe the song's vibe, organic fusion of Afrobeats and Dancehall and Laygus impressive vocals are a perfect recipe for international attention. Adding to the allure of Laygus is his songwriting and production experience, which he says gives him a better understanding of musical elements, including frequency, keys and tones.

Ahead of its release, "You're Right For Me" has already garnered a buzz amongst local and international DJs and tastemakers. Feeling great about this song, Laygus says, "I dream big. ..it's the only way to dream. I am claiming prestigious awards in advance, humbly. I think 'You're Right For Me' is something special."

Bay-C’s solo career makes a "Flawless Victory" alongside Xyclone with global tour and chart success

 By Lesley Hayles | April, 2024

After a successful run up the US iTunes Charts with the release of their “Flawless Victory” EP on March 1, 2024, Dancehall mainstays Xyclone and Bay-C have since dominated the UK iTunes Reggae Chart. Debuting at number 9 on March 28, the album climbed to number 4 within a couple of hours before peaking at number 1 by the following morning in Great Britain. This may be attributed to the appearance of both artists in England for a series of performances over Easter weekend. 

The Billboard Kid Xyclone is known for his promotional prowess for all his projects and has been using this opportunity to gain traction for “Flawless Victory” on the UK charts. Bay-C, who has seen major success as a member of TOK, is basking in glory as a solo artist which has been ongoing in Europe and the UK for a few years now. Having over 10 million streams on Spotify, hitting number 1 in Germany and with crossover hits in the UK too, “Flawless Victory” is a continuation of a thriving solo career for the baritone artist.

Well it's good to show the USA fans what's happening in other markets,” said Bay-C.

Working alongside Xyclone has reaped many rewards as the pair have developed a good musical chemistry. Both are highly driven, business savvy, self-investing and have a tunnel vision approach to success, making it an obvious dream team working towards achieving a “Flawless Victory” literally.

The project has been well received in the UK, both in the charts and in the streets.

We destroyed Tipsy Thursday with an Epik performance. That was crazy! We also did interviews with a few media outlets. That was Phase 1. We’re gonna return to the UK for Phase 2 of the promo run soon,” Bay-C stated.

The “Flawless Victory” Tour began in the US in February with Massachusetts, then on to Maryland, New York and Florida before going to Europe in March. The UK being the first stop set the precedent for the tour as the EP rose to the top of charts after a few days of promotion in London. They’ll be in their home country of Jamaica at the end of April, then back to Europe in May for shows in Switzerland and the Netherlands in June before returning to the US in August for Reggae on the River in California. More dates are to be added. 

Their main focus is on social media as they continue to see huge growth with the “Get Inna The Groove” dance challenge on TikTok and Instagram, choreographed by dancer/influencer @JD_Unt. Additionally, the single is receiving consistent radio play on New York's Hot 97 with Bobby Konders and Jabba from Massive B. The aim is to keep building from there, with more airplay in different markets which would then spill over to every event worldwide.

What’s next for Bay-C

To begin working on the follow up to my 2022 King Bass album. This will be my third solo album so I'm looking to show growth and even more artistry on it. Also fans can look out for new music from the Tribe of Kings aka TOK.”

The “Flawless Victory” EP was produced by Xyclone’s Ejor Media Group and Bay-C’s Bomb Rush Records. It was executive produced by KillaImij Records and distributed by TuneCore.

Denyque will “S.E.T” you free with DJ Reem’s latest mixtape

 By Lesley Hayles | April, 2024


Jamaican R&B singer Denyque is gracing us with her beautiful vocals once again on her latest project, a mixtape titled “S.E.T”, meaning ‘See Everything Transform’.

After releasing her highly successful “R.E.A.D.Y” EP in February 2024, which peaked at number 14 on the US iTunes Hip-Hop charts, Denyque knew a follow-up was needed. Initially, the intention was to do 3 EPs: “R.E.A.D.Y”, “S.E.T” and “G.O”.

However, being the true artist that I am, meaning my mind changes in a heartbeat sometimes,” said Denyque jocularly, “I decided that ‘S.E.T’ needed to be a mixtape. So ‘R.E.A.D.Y’, which translates to ‘Release Everything And Do You’, was an EP then closely followed by ‘S.E.T’ meaning ‘See Everything Transform’ as a mixtape.”

Denyque and team are yet to reveal what “G.O” will be an acronym for, when it will be released and whether it will be an EP, mixtape or full-length album. Whatever it will be, it will surely be a treat for her loyal fans and a global hit.

Denyque continues, “A mixtape gives more freedom to showcase creativity – at least that’s what I think. There are pretty much no rules, just feelings and vibes. DJ Reem, from Champion Squad, is my official DJ and coincidentally also dubbed the ‘Remix King’ so it was only right.”

The process throughout the production of this project was incredible, easygoing and genuinely true to the core. Denyque states that it was “full a vibes” and “didn’t feel like work” as “everything was just so authentic.” Denyque is driven and therefore mostly moves with what feels good to her, which is then emitted through her music so that listeners can feel the same sensation when listening to a Denyque track. 

My team will tell you, if it doesn’t feel good in my spirit then it’s on them. LOL!”

On “S.E.T”, expect to hear new music, songs that fans have loved forever and some freestyles recorded on beats from some of their favorites. 

Denyque’s “S.E.T” mixtape was produced and mixed by DJ Reem of the Miami-based Champion Squad and Eminem’s Shadyville DJs. It was released on SoundCloud on April 4, 2024 and is loaded with freestyles, aka ‘DEEstyles’, recorded over iconic beats, with exclusive unreleased tracks and a few of her classics.

Jahdon's "Give" Blends Beats and Traditions for a Sonic Evolution

May Pen, Clarendon, JA -- April 12, 2024 (Acclaim PR) -- Reggae music and culture ambassador Jahdon returns with the electrifying "Give," which is out now on all digital and streaming platforms. Marking a significant departure from his familiar Roots reggae, Jahdon ventures into the pulsating realms of Electronic Dance Music (EDM) with this track, marrying his poignant message with a vibrant riddim to achieve a sound that's as authentic as it is electrifying. An equally compelling Official Music Video for “Give”, edited by Cyberleaf Entertainment, is now playing on Jahdon’s YouTube channel.


Produced under Jahdon's Look Ya Noww Entertainment/Broomie LLC banner and distributed by the iconic Tuff Gong International, "Give" showcases Jahdon's vocal prowess at its peak. This inspiring tune is a fresh take on "Give Ankhs," a standout track from his second studio album, "I" released in 2022.


Delving into the inspiration behind "Give," Jahdon reflects on the profound symbolism found in African culture. He explains, "The ankh symbol, representing 'life' in Egyptian hieroglyphs, always fascinated me. Discovering the 'give' symbol, depicted as a triangle, was a revelation. Combined, they signify 'Given Eternal Life' - a message of utmost gratitude and a mantra I've embraced in expressing thanks."


Jahdon's exploration into EDM is a homage to musical pioneers like King Tubby, Lee "Scratch" Perry, and King Jammys, acknowledging EDM's roots in reggae music and sound system culture. The transition was sparked by reflection and the desire to infuse the original track's lyrics with a new sonic texture. Collaborating closely with his engineer, Lamar "Audiotraxx'' Thompson, Jahdon sought a unique sound to match the powerful lyrics, resulting in "Give" - a testament to their longstanding musical synergy.


"Creating 'Give' was a journey fueled by inspiration. It's a message delivered in a new frequency, aiming to transcend boundaries and spread joy worldwide," Jahdon states, underscoring his mission to uplift listeners across genres.


With "Give," Jahdon continues to make waves, receiving acclaim from DJs, radio hosts, and tastemakers in Jamaica and internationally. His recent appearance on iHeartRadio's "Carib Star Radio" showcased the single's broad appeal, further cementing his status as a versatile musical innovator. It was also played on Jamaican Radio on the Bridge 99FM “Up & Go Morning Show in Kingston and Fit 96.7 FM in Trelawny. 


Beyond his musical endeavors, Jahdon is also making strides as an entrepreneur, particularly with his initiative to promote and preserve the Jamaican broom-making heritage. Through Broomie LLC, he has introduced a range of products that celebrate this craft, contributing to the economic vitality of his hometown and enhancing its recognition on a global stage.


As Jahdon's journey unfolds, his commitment to delivering positive, uplifting music remains firm. With "Give" and his ongoing projects, he is set to continue impacting the world in profound ways.

Shinehead Celebrates 40th Anniversary of Culturally Significant Debut Record 'Billie Jean' and His Birthday

Happy times are spilling over for Shinehead, who is celebrating both the 40th Anniversary of his debut record "Billie Jean" and his birthday! The classic recording on the African Love label signifies Shinehead's unprecedented foray into the world of recorded music from sound systems. Notably, the Michael Jackson cover, along with other vibrant songs from Shinehead on the classic riddim, helped catapult Shinehead to international stardom. There’s a lot of rich history behind “Billie Jean” and the riddim, which Shinehead is anxious to share during the year long celebration.

"To be blessed with a record, which has played a pivotal role in Reggae and Dancehall music and culture for 40 years and another year of life in my youthful 60s are truly milestones to me," says Shinehead gratefully.

Shinehead, a multihyphenate who was born in England and raised in Jamaica and the Bronx, got his start performing live with Tony Screw’s Downbeat the Ruler sound system and later African Love. Shinehead wowed new immigrants from Jamaica and other Caribbean nations with a combination of his rapid fire deejaying, crooning of pop ballads, rapping Hip Hop style and even whistling, As “Billie Jean” was first performed by Shinehead live on a sound system, the then rising artist incorporated the respective techniques into the debut record and ultimately his entire brand.

Shinehead - Pub Photo 1

"Billie Jean" was a favorite among fans, music enthusiasts and naturally, sound boys. From the whistled start (a la Sergio Leone's "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly") to pitch perfect imitations of Michael Jackson's yelps and a beautiful, yet raw, voice that spoke of a profound admiration for Pop excellence. Shinehead's rendition of UK R&B artist Junior's "Mama Used to Say" on the flip side of the "Billie Jean" 12 inch further cemented his legendary status as a musician. The latter similarly beamed with an opening whistle. This time around, the diverse artist drew for the sung intro to Tenor Saw’s “Who’s Gonna Help Me (Praise Jahovia)."

"If ever there was a riddim built for an artist – Billie Jean was built for Shinehead," says music journalist Jeremy Freeman for www.dub-stuy.com.

The Billie Jean riddim was a seamless match for Shinehead’s many skills, as he filled the sparse riddim with his infectious musical styles. Both sides used different mixes of the same riddim. The riddim was minimal, incorporating a drum machine driven simple pattern, heavy snare accents, offbeat fills and some keyboard stabs. It was the powerhouse bassline that rocked many a dancehall with it's jarring and unexpected effect -- the riddim had an intense “Jamaican” sound, but the slap of the snares had a layer of Hip Hop grit.

The Shinehead effect was indeed organic. The creative unimaginably transformed two massive US radio hits into something that was uniquely Shinehead, and moreover, uniquely New York Jamaican. Shinehead gained notoriety with the 'Billie Jean' cover and went on to release his debut album "Rough & Rugged" in 1986. This LP included another Michael Jackson cover, "Lady in My Life," which was also based on the Billie Jean riddim and featured a whistle channeling Fiddler On The Roof's "If I Were a Rich Man!"

"Rough & Rugged" scored widespread popularity in New York and eventually reached mainstream listeners in the US, the UK, and Jamaica. As a result of this success, Shinehead became the first New York-based Reggae artist to sign to a major label when he signed a deal with Elektra Records.

In addition to the 40th Anniversary of Billie Jean, other 2024 milestones include the 30th Anniversary of his album "Troddin" and 25th Anniversary of the album "Praises." The charismatic entertainer, who released the bangers "Never Had a Dream Come True" and "The Makings of You" during the pandemic, says he's overdue for new music. While Shinehead envisions a Rocksteady project this calendar year, he is also set on more live shows, especially following the buzz of his landmark “Welcome to Jamrock Reggae Cruise.”

“Get Inna The Groove” Dance Challenge With Social Media Influencer JD

 By Lesley Hayles | March 23, 2024

Manawe Simpson, more popularly known as JD, is firstly a Kingstonian father of 2 and secondly a social media influencer using comedy sketches and dance challenges. He is all about spreading positivity through his platform while providing a deep connection to the younger generation.

His moniker, ‘JD’, is short for ‘Jus Dance’ and derives from his dancing skills. He started dancing while attending the Franklin Town Primary School where he also represented the school in several JCDC dance festival competitions. The first dance challenge JD did was on January 16, 2023, his birthday, which has gained over 10,000 videos to date. However, his first and most successful piece was a comedy skit featuring his daughter, Keelie.

Fast forward to 2024, JD has recently created a new dance challenge to the chart-topping song, “Get Inna The Groove”, by TOK’s Bay-C and the Billboard Kid, Xyclone, from their highly successful collaborative album, Flawless Victory EP, which had reached number 1 on the US iTunes Reggae Chart hours after its midnight release on March 1, 2024, knocking the legendary Bob Marley off the top spot. 

JD remarked, “I actually love the song and believe in the potential it has to make an impact on the dancing scene so I’m doing my part to see this become a reality. I knew of Xyclone before through another dance challenge that was trending to his song ‘Story Time.”

The confident star expects “Get Inna The Groove” will go far, not only due to his fun dance routine to the track but also because it has a positive effect that will impact every person who hears it.

Honestly,” he continues, “with dance challenges it’s really a gamble. However, I know the influence I have on social media, especially among people 18 and younger, so I did expect great things from it. It’s early days yet, but I’m confident this song and challenge will go far.”

With almost 100 videos already on TikTok alone since the song’s release just 2 weeks ago, it is evident that the challenge is well on its way to becoming a global phenomenon. There are even several international persons who have been drawn to participate in the “Get Inna The Groove” challenge so far, including those from England, Spain and especially the United States. Surprisingly too, JD stated that none of them were actually following him at time, which is somewhat a good thing, proving that his reach is far and wide.

The long term goal is to use my influence in every way possible to positively influence people especially teenagers and kids on a global scale through dance and comedy. Impacting young people is somewhat easy for me as I use experience and conversations with my own 2 kids to better understand how they think and try to relate and relay information on their level,” JD explained.

For the time being, however, JD will stay focused on the task at hand, which is this challenge and getting the song to the pinnacle of success. So what’s next for JD? He plans on transitioning to an MC, hosting parties and social events and hopefully getting more into acting. In the meantime, “Get Inna The Groove” and join in on this fun and exciting challenge.

Follow @JD_UNT on all platforms in order to learn this routine. For bookings, promotions and other business inquiries, send JD a DM and he’ll instruct accordingly.
