[Kingston, Jamaica - May 2026] Dancehall recording artist Vershon has once again teamed up with US-based Jenelle Alexia of A’Legends Productions on his second single ‘A Mother Like You’ from his upcoming EP ‘To A Queen’. Officially released on Wednesday, May 6th, when Jamaica celebrates its teachers, is just in time for Mother’s Day being celebrated in the western world on Sunday, May 10th.

“It was a mere coincidence that I had set the release date on Teachers’ Day in Jamaica. This goes to show that when the universe aligns, all things work together for the good,” Jenelle Alexia stated. 

As a mother herself, Jenelle Alexia appreciates what ‘A Mother Like You’ signifies to not only women who bore children but those who are important mother-figures in today’s society. 

“This song is about honoring mothers, teachers and women in general who nurture, teach and lead with strength. I decided it was needed at this time to inspire all mothers and all women to push on through the struggles and to let them know how loved they are and appreciated for all they do. This is the second single from our upcoming EP ‘To A Queen’,” Jenelle Alexia said.

The official music video will be released this Sunday on Mother’s Day. ‘A Mother Like You’ can be played everyday for every female who is tasked with taking care of her children, putting their needs before hers and guiding them through society, all the while persevering through the many adversities thrown her way.

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.

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.
