On “Boasty,” Masicka takes a hard-earned victory lap. Hi-hats accent a smooth and slick beat as he flaunts his signature cadence. The track rides his upbeat flow into the upswing of an undeniable chorus punctuated by fire and flavor. Helmed by director Shane Creative, the accompanying visual channels this energy on-screen. Masicka holds court in a luxurious and lavish mansion as well as at a packed nightclub. Still, he never forgets where he came from. The clip alternates between these moments of celebration and vignettes of the star back where it all began in a small Jamaican town. 

With “Boasty,” Masicka looks back on his journey while continuing to push forward, building on his growing global reach.

Plus, it arrives on the heels of the buzzing “Life Of Sin.” Gathering nearly 1 million YouTube views on the official music video, this introspective slow-burn instantly resonated with fans. Not to mention, it garnered looks from the likes of V13, Caribbean Today, and more. 

 

Remaining prolific, “Life Of Sin” landed in the wake of 2025’s Her Name Is Love EP. Thus far, the latter has gathered north of 10 million streams and counting highlighted by “Rich Sex”[with Rvssian]. Right out of the gate, it also received widespread acclaim. Billboard hailed it as “a tender new EP dedicated to the ladies,” and Okayplayer applauded it as “a lighter, more loving atmosphere that still carries the edge that has defined his signature sound. A juxtaposition not previously seen from him until now.” Remixd Magazine christened it “one of the most introspective and intentional projects of his career,” and Live Music Blog noted, “the EP captures Masicka in a reflective space, showing range and maturity while remaining firmly rooted in dancehall’s core.”

 

Hitting another benchmark, Masicka garnered a nomination for “Best Caribbean Music Act” at the 2026 MOBO Awards aired on March 26^th at Co-op Live in Manchester, UK.

Now, Masicka is gearing up for what promises to be his brightest and biggest chapter yet.

Tanto Blacks returns as the ‘Rich Carpenter’ alongside Chris Gayle

[Kingston, Jamaica - March 2026] The “Real Rich” dancehall artist known as Tanto Blacks returns to the music scene with his latest single titled ‘Rich Carpenter’. Released on February 5th by upcoming producer Polabeatz and RichBlood876 from the UK, ‘Rich Carpenter’ will have an accompanying music video which features former West Indies cricketer Chris Gayle.

The official music video is set to make an exclusive premiere on CVM TV’s Onstage program on Saturday, March 28th at 9pm local time. Tanto Blacks will also be making a special appearance signaling his return to the dancehall music scene. 

Though previously known for his witty catch phrases, humor and gimmicks, Tanto Blacks approaches ‘Rich Carpenter’ with a different style and motivational message. The music video, however, expresses the outlandish and extravagant persona everyone knows and loves from Tanto Blacks. Chris Gayle adds his own influence and flair to the vibrant visuals that highlights and stays true to his lavish and “rich” lifestyle.

When asked about his connection to Chris Gayle, Tanto Blacks responded, “Chris is a longtime friend of mine. Our connection is real and built on loyalty. Having him in the ‘Rich Carpenter’ video felt natural because the song is about living authentically and building something meaningful.”

“I watch how people like Chris move from cricket to business and apply that same approach to my own life and music. ‘Rich Carpenter’ is about growth, elevation and becoming your own boss in a real way,” Tanto Blacks continued.

With management, production and overall support coming from Polabeatz and RichBlood876, Tanto Blacks now has a team that is committed to take him to another level in his career. After a highly publicized fall from off the stage during a performance which left Tanto Blacks feeling humbled, ‘Rich Carpenter’ provides a necessary reset to catapult his comeback in a more strategically calibrated manner. 

RichBlood876 and Polabeatz explained, “This is a reset and a rise. Tanto Blacks is entering a new chapter, fully focused, motivated, driven and surrounded by the right team. ‘Rich Carpenter’ is just the beginning!” 

Fans, old and new, can expect a consistent flow of music and content from Tanto Blacks on his social and streaming media platforms, reflecting his evolution while staying true to who he is.

Amlak Redsquare and DJ Baby Ace Join Forces on “Fast N Pray”

[Kingston, Jamaica] — Jamaican Reggae and Dancehall artist Amlak Redsquare steps boldly into the spotlight with “Fast N Pray,” a deeply resonant new single produced by DJ Baby Ace, now amplified by the release of its official visualizer following an immense wave of early buzz. Released this month, the record is already being embraced as a defining entry in the “New Age Roots” movement—anchored by Amlak’s commanding voice, militant consciousness, and unwavering spiritual message. The union between Amlak Redsquare and DJ Baby Ace feels both intentional and organic—two creatives aligned in purpose, sound, and message. Producer and artist DJ Baby Ace, recognized as a versatile production force shaping contemporary Caribbean sound, has collaborated with Amlak on previous releases including “Rate Who Rate You” and “Itz Real.” Reflecting on their connection, Baby Ace shares, “I first came across Amlak after seeing Spragga Benz endorse him as one to watch. From there, I really studied his work and was drawn to the depth and perspective in his writing.” That foundation of mutual respect and creative chemistry makes “Fast N Pray” a natural progression—one that fully realizes their shared vision. A respected “singjay” from East Kingston and affiliate of the Redsquare camp, Amlak Redsquare (Omar Gordon) has built a reputation for music rooted in truth, social awareness, and Rastafarian ideology. With standout works like The Book of Judges and “Run Di Place,” Amlak continues to evolve as a voice of purpose in Reggae and Dancehall. On “Fast N Pray,” his gravel-toned delivery cuts through with authority and conviction, offering a timely reminder of the importance of faith, balance, and spiritual grounding in an increasingly chaotic world. Driven by intention, the track delivers more than sound—it delivers substance. “I hope listeners take away the positivity and really apply that mindset—to do good, to stay grounded, to pray,” says DJ Baby Ace. “We need more music right now that encourages respect, self-awareness, and spiritual discipline. There’s a gap, and this song speaks directly to that.” Written entirely by Amlak, the song reflects his signature ability to translate lived experience and spiritual insight into music that resonates across generations. “Fast N Pray” also reflects a creative shift for DJ Baby Ace, known for his uptempo Dancehall productions. “I wanted this to feel different—mellow, soothing, almost meditative,” he explains. “I built the foundation to tap into that positive, spiritual energy, and Amlak brought it to life perfectly. His delivery makes the message hit even harder.” The result is a seamless fusion of roots Reggae soul and contemporary sound—bridging tradition with innovation. The official visualizer, directed by @roesummerz and filmed in Kingston, Jamaica, extends the record’s message through calming, introspective imagery. Designed as a visual meditation, it mirrors the song’s central theme—finding stillness and faith amid the fast pace of life—offering viewers a moment of reflection and spiritual reset. Released via Shinealous Records, “Fast N Pray” stands as a meaningful testament to the impact of conscious music when delivered with authenticity and intention. As Amlak Redsquare continues to rise as a leading voice of modern roots Reggae, and DJ Baby Ace solidifies his place as a versatile and visionary producer, this collaboration signals more than a moment—it signals movement.

Guidance brought ‘Food Basket’ to schools on Jamaica Day

[Kingston, Jamaica - Thursday, March 5, 2026] The entire island celebrated Jamaica Day last Friday, February 27. School children, teachers and even several workplaces had their employees clad in their Jamaica shirts or colors of the nation’s flag. Reggae artist Guidance used this opportunity to promote his latest track, ‘Food Basket’, in 4 primary schools across the Kingston, St Andrew and St Catherine areas.

‘Food Basket’, released the same day, was produced by Jenelle Alexia for her A’Legends Productions label. 

“Beyond its vibrant sound, the song ‘Food Basket’ carries layered meaning rooted in resilience and survival,” said Jenelle Alexia. 

The track, loosely based on the “food basket” parish of St Elizabeth which suffered devastating effects from the category 5 Hurricane Melissa last October, is a plea for no one and nothing to stop food from getting to Guidance. 

When asked by this author about what ‘Food Basket’ means to him, Guidance explained, “Well this song is about life, survival. Take care of what you got.”

“You have to protect what you have. You can’t afford for anyone to destroy it and come mash it up because that’s how you earn and get your food from,” Guidance continued. 

Born Donovan Walker in the St Catherine community of Portmore, Guidance visited St John’s, Constant Spring, St Andrew and Old Harbour primary schools and has videos posted all over social media showing students singing along gleefully to ‘Food Basket’. The clean and explicit versions are available now on all platforms.

Sean Paul & Stalk Ashley Turn Chemistry into Momentum on “Ready for the Ride”

 

Sean Paul and Stalk Ashley aren’t strangers in the studio, and on their new single “Ready for the Ride,” it feels like the stars have aligned once again. 

Produced by London-based Scribz Riley, a two-time Grammy winner for his work on Cardi B’s Invasion of Privacy, the track is grounded in Jamaican dancehall sounds but crafted for a global audience. While the driving bassline stays true to dancehall’s foundations, there are hints of Afrobeats and R&B, sitting atop reggaeton-style drum programming.

 

The artistes first linked in 2024 on “Stay With Me,” a standout moment from Stalk Ashley’s debut album Stalky the Bratt that was another signal of her arrival on the global dancehall radar.

 

Where their first collaboration explored intimacy and vulnerability, “Ready for the Ride” feels like its grown-up sequel, less about asking someone to stay, more about deciding to move forward together. Sean Paul shifts from mentor energy to full creative partner, Stalk Ashley showing more of her bold personality, and both artists meet in the middle for a sound that is both club-ready and emotionally grounded.  

 

While Sean brings his trademark confidence and reassurance to the chorus, Stalk Ashley answers with fearless intention, embodying a woman who knows her worth and is prepared for what comes next. Their call-and-response mirrors modern relationships, one voice offering assurance, the other affirming readiness.

 

 “Ready for the Ride” drops just as the multi-award-winning dancehall icon embarks on his headline European tour this month, with two weeks across France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Germany. Over 250,000 fans will witness the track’s energy live, building on his viral momentum in Germany, where “Give It Up To Me” is climbing the Spotify Viral 50 and trending across TikTok and Shazam.

 

For Stalk Ashley, this collaboration marks a defining moment. Already recognized as a rising star on the dancehall scene, her presence alongside a global icon like Sean Paul signals an artistic growth that launches her into new markets

 

With an official music video directed by Kieran Khan, “Ready For The Ride” promises a visual that is just as cinematic, vibrant, and organic.

 

The single is set to release on Thursday, February 27, 2026, on all major streaming platforms via Sean Paul’s Dutty Rock Production imprint, in conjunction with Milk & Honey Records, the newly launched label from the multi-faceted global entertainment powerhouse, Milk & Honey Music + Sports + Ventures.
