Yes family, you heard it right, this is the last of the season #5 artist fighting for a spot in the FINAL BINGO where we crown ARTIST OF THE YEAR around here! Only one more final order of business before we wrap up the season  and that is the upcoming REDEMPTION BINGO on DEC 8!  These two new artists on the list will surely be there as well as 12 other hopefuls .

It is worthy of noting that DALTON HARRIS and the VIKINGS BAND with their track BAD HABIT have been the only ones to have lasted 11 weeks on BOSS HIT LIST in season #5.  It's been a hard year for the artists to hang onto their spot.





THIS SONG CHALLENGES THE WORLD ORDER

 




Founded in 2023, Finix began as a simple recording project and quickly grew into a full reggae collective with 20 members currently. Two years later, the group has already performed more than 50 shows across the USA, Jamaica, and Brazil, building an impressive international grassroots following. 




“WEAK ARE STRONG”, is a track born from tragedies and a deep desire to right the wrongs. The concept was originally developed by JC Bassicly who wrote the lyrics and composed the music starting with a ukulele version before moving into a full band demo. In the end, Costa Rebel delivered a deep, dubby reggae production that perfectly frames the song’s powerful message. The result is a bold anthem addressing the delusion that violence is strength instead of peaceful solidarity, delivered with authenticity, fire, and upliftment.
