EDLEY SHINE DELIVERS “BROKEN DOLLY,” THE FIRST EXPLOSIVE CHAPTER OF DJ JAHMAR’S “BOOK OF MICAH RIDDIM”

New York, New York — August, 2026 -- Dancehall trailblazer Edley Shine, formerly of the groundbreaking duo Born Jamericans, joins forces with producer DJ Jahmar for “Broken Dolly,” the first explosive single from the highly anticipated “Book of Micah Riddim” project. Packed with attitude, storytelling and an unmistakably authentic Jamaican Dancehall pulse, the new "Broken Dolly" single and vibrant official music video are bound to leave a lasting impression on audiences. “Broken Dolly” unfolds like a sonic soap opera, with Edley Shine bringing his signature wit and commanding delivery to the exploits of a modern-day “Dolly”—Caribbean slang commonly associated with glamorous women known for their enhanced looks, eye-catching attributes and confident, money-motivated, go-getter attitude. Over DJ Jahmar’s infectious production, Shine turns the colorful character into a larger-than-life story made for Dancehall audiences, DJs and selectors.

The song’s energy is amplified by its official video, shot on location in historic Port Royal, Jamaica. Pairing the island backdrop with colorful characters and narrative-driven visuals, DJ Jahmar and Edley Shine bring the world of “Broken Dolly” to life while keeping the imagery firmly connected to the culture that inspired the record. The video premiered alongside the single on August 14, giving audiences a full introduction to the sound and vision behind the “Book of Micah Riddim.” “Broken Dolly” serves as the opening chapter of what DJ Jahmar is positioning as a full-scale Dancehall rollout. With the “Book of Micah Riddim,” the Arizona-based DJ and producer taps into the raw energy, infectious rhythms and grassroots character of Jamaican Dancehall while presenting a collection built to resonate with DJs, tastemakers, influencers and Dancehall fans across international markets. The project also makes a statement about Dancehall’s enduring global influence. At a time when elements of Jamaican music continue to be borrowed, reinterpreted and incorporated into popular sounds around the world, DJ Jahmar is taking the riddim back to its foundation—delivering music rooted unapologetically in the authentic Jamaican Dancehall experience. And “Broken Dolly” is only the beginning.

DJ Jahmar plans to steadily unveil additional singles and visuals from the “Book of Micah Riddim.” A video for Wasp’s “Remember” has already been completed, while reels and visuals are planned around several other standout selections, including Guiney Peppers’ “Never Stop,” Mega Banton’s “No Chill,” Bramma’s “Something About You,” Singer J’s “Wine For Me,” and Hollywood MK’s “Toxic.” Each artist brings a distinct personality and flavor to DJ Jahmar’s production, creating a diverse collection without sacrificing the riddim’s grassroots Dancehall identity. From established voices to emerging talent, the “Book of Micah Riddim” is designed as both a celebration of the culture and a reminder of the power of the classic riddim format—one infectious instrumental, multiple artists and a range of stories built to move the dance. For DJ Jahmar, whose career has been driven by a commitment to championing authentic Reggae and Dancehall, the project represents another step in his evolution from DJ and radio personality to producer. His ear for Jamaican music and ability to connect its traditional foundation with contemporary audiences have become central to his growing production catalog. Edley Shine brings another layer of Dancehall history to the collaboration. Best known as one-half of Born Jamericans, the influential Jamaican-American duo that helped bring Reggae and Dancehall deeper into the U.S. mainstream, Shine has maintained his distinctive voice and lyrical personality throughout his solo career. On “Broken Dolly,” that seasoned delivery meets DJ Jahmar’s production for a record that feels rooted in Dancehall tradition while built for today’s audience. With “Broken Dolly” officially opening the book, DJ Jahmar is setting the stage for a succession of releases aimed squarely at selectors, DJs, Dancehall lovers and global audiences hungry for the real thing. “Broken Dolly” by Edley Shine, produced by DJ Jahmar, is out now alongside the official music video. The project hails from Shinealous Records and Twelve Tribes Entertainment with distribution from Symphonic.
