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.

Bunx’ to new banger by upcoming artist Zanga

Bounce to ‘Bunx’, a new banger from a surprise upcoming artist who goes by the name of Zanga. Born in Spanish Town, Jamaica but now residing in Queens, New York, Zanga has turned everyone on their heels with his sound, and look. 

His look may not match his sound but it is the combination that makes ‘Bunx’ so unique. Upon hearing the track, one would have a different thought about what the artist would look like. Seeing the artist is what pulls in listeners more, especially females, as he’s unexpectedly very easy on the eyes. 

‘Bunx’, though it has thuggish lyrics, is not promoting violence and can still be perceived as a party anthem in every club and event. It has all the right elements to be a massive hit among both his female and male fan base. 

Produced by RudeBoyz Music Group (RBMG), ‘Bunx’ was released on October 18, 2024. It is available on all platforms for downloading and streaming: https://li.sten.to/zangaminame

Aleighcia Scott Unveils Bold New Single “Can’t Be A Fool” – Cementing Her Place as the Future of Reggae Rising reggae powerhouse Aleighcia Scott ends a monumental year with the release of her fiery new single, “Can’t Be A Fool” – a confident anthem challenging suitors to prove their worth.

“Can’t Be A Fool is about self-worth, confidence, and knowing what you deserve,”  Aleighcia explains.  “It’s a message that resonates with anyone who values themselves and refuses to settle.”

2024 has seen Aleighcia solidify her status as a force to be reckoned with, both in the reggae scene and far beyond. This summer, she stunned audiences with a mesmerising performance of Bob Marley’s “Redemption Song” at the Sky Arts Awards, accompanied by the world-renowned Kanneh-Mason Family.

The Voice (Y Llais) Aleighcia has also become a powerful voice in broadcasting. She’s one of four coaches on the Welsh edition of “The Voice” (Y Llais) alongside Sir Bryn Terfel, Yws Gwynedd & Bronwen Lewis.

Aleighcia’s presence is equally strong on the airwaves, with her own show on BBC Radio Wales and a new role deputising for the legend David Rodigan on BBC 1Xtra’s flagship reggae program.

Aleighcia’s debut album Windrush Baby, produced by reggae icon RoryStoneLove, claimed the top spot on Apple’s iTunes Reggae Chart. The album’s success fueled her headline “Windrush Baby Tour” across the UK and a show-stopping appearance at SXSW in Austin, Texas, putting her firmly on the international map.

As 2024 draws to a close, Aleighcia Scott stands poised as one of 2025’s breakout stars. With her dynamic voice, commanding presence, and relentless drive, she’s not just redefining UK reggae – she’s leading its next revolution.
