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.

Ras-I Releases New Single “These Are the Days” Featuring Grammy Award-Winning Reggae Artist Kabaka Pyramid

Ras-I steps into a focused and purpose-driven chapter with the release of his new single “These Are the Days,” featuring Grammy Award-winning reggae artist Kabaka Pyramid. The track serves as a powerful lead offering from Ras-I’s forthcoming third studio album, Heart of Love, set for worldwide release on May 15.

Anchored in lived experience and conscious reflection, “These Are the Days” is a meditation on growth, discipline, and spiritual responsibility. The song confronts the idea that faith alone is not enough, emphasizing preparation, consistency, and commitment as essential parts of walking one’s purpose. With lyrics that speak to leaving complacency behind, embracing the grind, and staying focused amid change, Ras-I delivers a message rooted in action-backed belief.

“These Are the Days is about understanding that prayer must be matched with preparation,” Ras-I explains. “We pray, we prepare, and we train, because faith without the work won’t carry you where you’re meant to go. Life changes, the road gets demanding, but the focus must remain.”

Kabaka Pyramid’s contribution adds depth and clarity to the record, reinforcing reggae’s role as music of awareness, accountability, and elevation.

Kabaka Pyramid shares, “These Are the Days speaks directly to the times we’re living in. It’s a reminder that growth requires intention and action. Ras-I’s message is grounded and real, and the song reflects the discipline and consciousness that reggae has always stood for.”

The single introduces the thematic foundation of Heart of Love, a 13-track album that explores love not only as emotion, but as discipline, devotion, and responsibility, spanning romantic love, spiritual grounding, ancestral connection, community, and self-reflection.

Sonically, Heart of Love blends classic roots-reggae textures with contemporary Afro-Caribbean and soul influences, continuing Ras-I’s commitment to music that honors tradition while speaking honestly to the present moment.

“This album is about the kind of love that sustains you,” Ras-I adds. “The love that keeps you focused when life gets demanding, that reminds you who you are and why you started. Heart of Love is that vibration.”

Heart of Love is now available for streaming across all major streaming platforms, with additional music and visuals scheduled to roll out ahead of the May 15 release.

With “These Are the Days,” Ras-I offers more than a single, he delivers a message for anyone actively building, evolving, and standing firm in purpose.

DJ Jahmar Returns to Jamaica to Feed Homeless and Uplift Communities in the Aftermath of Hurricane Melissa

Kingston, Jamaica — January 2026 — International DJ, producer, and cultural ambassador DJ Jahmar returns to Jamaica this month to lead his annual Feed the Homeless outreach event in Kingston — a deeply rooted mission that carries new urgency as the island works to rebuild and recover following the devastating impact of Hurricane Melissa. In partnership with Deejays Against Hunger in Arizona, DJ Jahmar continues to fuse his global platform with purpose, dedicating his energy to serving the heart of the community. The two-day outreach on January 21-22, 2026 will provide hot, nourishing meals and essential supplies to unhoused and displaced individuals across Kingston, offering comfort and solidarity to those most affected by the recent storm. “Hurricane Melissa left many of our people hurting — some have lost everything,” said DJ Jahmar. “Now more than ever, it’s our duty to come together, to serve, to lift each other up. Jamaica has always given me everything; this is my way of giving back when it matters most.” Last year, more than 200 people were fed, and this year DJ Jahmar aims to expand that reach, reflecting the growing need in the wake of the hurricane’s destruction. His work through Deejays Against Hunger represents not only a charitable effort, but a global call to action — a reminder that music and compassion can work hand in hand to heal and empower communities in crisis.

In addition to his humanitarian efforts, DJ Jahmar will also be working on key creative projects during his time in Jamaica. From his current, blazing "Dancehall Ranger Riddim" album, a tribute to his late father and Reggae impresario DJ Papa Ranger, a video will be filmed for Ninja Ford's "Thank You Jah." This video will continue the album's momentum, as DJ Jahmar and Bramma's "Number One" has hit Spotify's "Dancehall Official" playlist. Meanwhile, fiery tracks from the project with Wasp, Cutty Ranks, Fantan Mojah and more bring the heat. Also planned on DJ Jahmar's entertainment side is the filming of official music videos for “Badman Money” -- featuring Cutty Ranks, Wasp, and Edley Shine (formerly of Born Jamericans) and “Call In The Money Medley” featuring Ninja Ford. These artistic endeavors celebrate the strength and vibrancy of Jamaican culture at a time when national pride and unity are more important than ever. Recently honored as the Reggae Ambassador of Arizona, a title awarded by the State of Arizona in 2025, DJ Jahmar continues to champion reggae as a bridge between nations — a sound and spirit capable of inspiring change across borders. “Reggae has always been about love, struggle, and triumph,” DJ Jahmar added. “Even in tragedy, the rhythm unites us. We feed bodies, yes — but we also feed the spirit of Jamaica.” About DJ Jahmar DJ Jahmar is an internationally recognized DJ, producer, philanthropist, and cultural advocate known for merging music, activism, and community empowerment. From major global stages to grassroots outreach, DJ Jahmar uses reggae as a universal language of unity and upliftment. His ongoing humanitarian work — from Arizona to Jamaica — continues to inspire resilience and underscore the power of culture in creating lasting change.
