Fashion designer Jenelle Alexia to drop second children’s book

High off the heels of success from her small but impactful role in the recently premiered film Unbelievable, fashion designer Jenelle Alexia drops her second children’s book in her Kiera series called Keira and Jaime Discovers A Musical Dream. 

Released on Wednesday, January 15, Jenelle Alexia is starting 2025 on a high note. Though there were many setbacks which prevented the book’s release in 2024, Jenelle Alexia believes the timing is just right.

“I’m super elated that the delays are behind me and I was able to get this out in the early part of the new year!” She exclaimed while talking with her PR Lesley Hayles.

The Jamaican-American A’Legends brand CEO based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania has relaunched her website where she’s selling her A’Legends line of products including her latest designs and showcasing her production from last March titled the Bankx Riddim. Jenelle Alexia will also begin selling her clothing line on Amazon alongside her previously published books as well as Keira and Jaime Discovers A Musical Dream upon it’s released.

The first in the series, Keira Discovers Her Talent, peaked at number 4 on the Apple Books Kids Chart and sold quite amazingly on Amazon in 2023. Jenelle Alexia is hoping to replicate this success with Keira and Jaime Discovers A Musical Dream.

This time around, Keira motivates her schoolmate, Jaime, to follow his dreams of becoming a musician no matter what others say. The message is positive and reinforces the determination of the characters from the previous book. It’s a must-read for children and parents alike.

Olaide Banks Announces Powerful New Single “My Home” Set for Release on January 17

Anguilla-born artist blends Caribbean roots with universal themes of resilience and hope in reggae anthem Multi-talented, singer-songwriter and musician Olaide Banks is set to release his new single, “My Home,” on January 17, 2025. This reggae anthem delves into the challenges faced by families in the Caribbean and beyond, touching on themes of disillusionment, economic struggles, and the deep-seated mistrust of political leadership. With its poignant message and heartfelt melodies, “My Home” celebrates resilience and the unwavering strength we draw from the places we call home. “‘My Home’ is inspired by real-life conversations and experiences,” says Olaide. “It’s a deeply personal and universal story, one that I hope resonates with listeners and reminds them that they are not alone.” Written by Olaide Banks and produced in collaboration with Dominik Gall for ReggaeBeats Production, “My Home” features the masterful touch of legendary Jamaican engineer Steven Stanley, who mixed the track to perfection. Nikki Burt Bolt’s stunning vocal harmonies add depth and warmth, creating a soundscape that is both rich and authentic. “This song marks my first collaboration with Dominik Gall, whose riddim perfectly complements the message,” Olaide shares. “Steven Stanley has been my production partner from the start, and Nikki Burt Bolt’s accompanying vocals brought a beautiful richness to the track.” Fans can look forward to an illustrated music video set to premiere on YouTube and other platforms on January 17. The video will weave together powerful imagery of Caribbean life, showcasing both its struggles and its beauty, and highlighting the spirit of the people who make these places feel like home. “My Home” is the second single from Olaide’s upcoming EP, [R]Evolution, slated for release on May 30, 2025. The seven-track EP explores themes of personal mindfulness and social justice, blending authentic reggae vibes with timely, meaningful messages. “This project represents both a revolutionary message and an evolution for me as an artist,” says Olaide. Born and raised in Anguilla, Olaide Banks’s music is deeply rooted in his Caribbean heritage, which he describes as a source of inspiration and identity. “Growing up in Anguilla taught me the power of community and resilience,” he reflects. “It’s where I fell in love with music and where I return annually for self-rediscovery.” Now living in Texas, Olaide’s experiences have expanded his perspective, allowing him to draw connections between the struggles and hopes of different communities. “‘My Home’ is a perfect example of this blend,” he explains. “It’s rooted in reggae but carries a universal message that I think everyone can feel.” Distributed by ONErpm, “My Home” will be available on all major streaming platforms on January 17, 2025. The accompanying music video will also debut on YouTube and Apple Music the same day. "It’s food or its lights And that ain’t no joke But this is my home" https://onerpm.link/ob-myhome

Flippa Moggela scores 1st iTunes hit since prison

 

Formerly incarcerated US dancehall artist, Flippa Moggela, born Andrew Davis in Kingston, Jamaica has been going viral lately with his hit song “Wah Gwan Bout Yah Man”. Produced by Flippa’s Flip Money Records and the very popular DJ Mac, the track was released from January 15, and has since been a street anthem, a classic comeback for the ever energetic artist.

Flippa Moggela, once referred to as Flippa Mafia during earlier times in his career, teamed up with DJ Mac, producer of several hits like “Drift” by Teejay and “Haad (Fiesta)” by Armanii, to create the fun, relatable and entertaining song “Wah Gwan Bout Yah Man”. It was well received by partygoers and so, it was no surprise that it eventually hit on iTunes. 

“Wah Gwan Bout Yah Man” peaked at number 10 on the US iTunes Reggae Singles Chart late into Wednesday night, December 18. This signals the first time Flippa Moggela has scored a top 10 hit on iTunes since his release from prison 2 years ago in 2022 after serving a 9-year sentence for drug trafficking and money laundering. Known as the ‘Flossing King’, this recent success coincides well with Flippa’s usual charismatic persona of living the high life. “Wah Gwan Bout Yah Man” questions the current state of those who claim to be about that life but don’t seem to be able to maintain it due to lack of funds.

Flippa Moggela is enjoying the fruits of his labor and states emphatically, “It’s an honor. I am so grateful and thankful for the support I have been receiving and I’m going to continue to put in the hard work!!!”

A music video was also shot for “Wah Gwan Bout Yah Man”, with scenes both in the US and Jamaica. Flippa Moggela will be riding this momentum straight into the new year.

TOK’s Craigy-T charts for 1st time on iTunes as solo artist

Dancehall artist Craig Thompson, more popularly known as Craigy-T from internationally renowned group TOK, has charted for the first time as a solo artist with his latest body of work titled ‘Unload’. A collaborative effort between himself and DJ Frodo from Poland, the album was released on Friday, November 29 and inevitably rose to the top of the US iTunes Reggae Albums Chart in the week following.

Debuting at number 3 on Sunday, December 8 was more than what Craigy-T anticipated. 

“I can’t stop smiling,” Craigy-T relayed to his PR, Lesley Hayles. “This is my first presentation to the world and to see that it was accepted and appreciated is a joy.”

The 7-track album also had all 6 songs, the 7th track is an outro, chart on the US iTunes Reggae Singles Chart. “Onion” peaked at number 12, followed by “No Echo”, “Man A Baller” featuring his fellow TOK band mate Bay-C, “Pretty Gyal Wine” and “Ay Ay Ay” at numbers 13 to 16 respectively. The title track, “Unload”, entered the chart at number 25. 

Irrespective of where they placed in the end, Craigy-T is surprised by the album’s success on the charts and intends on riding this momentum for as long as possible during his solo run.

“Nowadays at this point in my career, I don’t put too much expectation on my work. Mi do mi work, mi put it out there and mi pay attention to see if people receive it in the way I had intended. It’s really a joy to see that is really so it a go.”

“Everyone who has listened to the project so far, once they don’t mind a little explicit material, the reaction from everyone has been positive,” Craigy-T continued.

He also expressed his gratitude towards DJ Frodo for creating ‘Unload‘ in such a masterful way and the chemistry between them during the process was outstanding. Though DJ Frodo isn’t the talkative type, Craigy-T grew to understand him more and knew DJ Frodo is just as ecstatic about the album’s performance as he is.

“We have a really good chemistry working together. Frodo doesn’t talk much so he only sent an explosion emoji and that is it but knowing him, I know he’s very happy with the placement as well.”

At the writing of this piece, the album slipped a place, settling at number 4 by day’s end. The songs had also dropped, placing at numbers 30 to 34 in the same order and “Unload” at number 43.
