THIS ONE IS FOR THE RECORD BOOK !


 

We are well into SEASON#5 of BOSS HIT LIST ( Top 5 Tracks of the Week) and by some twist of fate and a whole lot of pressure from dj FATTA ICON's TIC TOC listeners we have decided to  re-enter  a track LADY LUCK doesn't seem to like.  And that is a FIRST in the history of BOSS HIT LISt making it one for the records.

This track didn't  get  the mandatory 5 week requirement to make it to the FINAL BINGO. It didn't find redemption in our last REDEMPTION BINGO yet it's back by popular demand to BOSS HIT LIST and that's never happened before!  Family hit that >> GO BUTTON<< and check out our newest inductee to SHYRICK BOOK OF RECORDS:  JAH NICENESS with his banger that refuses to be muted, HEART A LOVE. 



LADY LUCK is going to be so vexed! 




JAH NICENESS  is no stranger to THE BOOK of RECORDS, nor is he a stranger to consistently dropping red hot "winning" conscientious vibes.

We just had to hunt down the artist and ask him a little about his track: HEART A LOVE.


SHYRICK: How did the concept for this track come about?

JAH NICENESS:  I always wanted to make a universal love song, because for centuries mankind has figured out how to harness the power of  kinetic energy, nuclear weapons,guns, submarines,battle ships and education just to name a few. But mankind has failed to harness the power of love which is the greatest power of all.so decided to make love the concept for this song with the hope that mankind will open their eyes and make the right choice.

SHYRICK: What are the things you do to keep your heart full of love?

JAH NICENESS:  I stayed in the WORD. treat people the way i would love for them to treat me and i always try to have a positive mind set.

SHYRICK: We now know how much the NATION loves this track, tell us how it is doing across the globe? 

JAH NICENESS: Heart A Love is doing wonderfully well. With the help of the Most High, people have been gravitating to the song using it to make reels and sharing it on their social media platforms, every now and then i also get complements in my inbox on a job well done.Over all it's a good look.

Shout outs to all the people who make this project a reality:  Miss Carla Dummerauf, Miss Tracy Pagett, Mr Albert Beckford, Owen Bassy Renalds, Dj Fatta Icon and Darren Goldfinger Chance. 







It is a good look indeed, and JAH BLESS to everyone who is helping push these positive vibes out into  this chaotic planet, right  up to and including you THE LISTENER !!!! JAH BLESS !




Reggae-dancehall artiste Terry Ganzie, the Original Outlaw Leader is back



One of the marquee dancehall artistes of the 1990s, Terry Ganzie is once again immersed in music, returning to his roots after a self-imposed hiatus from a music business to concentrate on raising his family, and to exorcise his personal grouses with the complicated politics of the music business.


"There were people trying to keep me out, so I just sit and wait on my time to go road again. I have been consistently recording music but there was no hardcore promoting. But I am ready to step out on them again," an animated Terry Ganzie said.

He is promoting his latest single, We Rise, a song which blendis reggae, dancehall, and Afrobeats elements to deliver a message of hope, resilience, and perseverance that he hopes will resonate with audiences worldwide.
Produced by Temps Music LLC, the song has already to rave reviews online.






"We Rise is more than just a song — it is an anthem for Black people in Africa and across the world, calling for unity, empowerment, and the strength to overcome struggles," Terry Ganzie said.

"This song was recorded from October last year, long before the rise of Ibrahim Traoré and Burkina Faso in Africa and the new movement of independence that is rejecting foreign interference all across Africa," he said.



Terry Ganzie is known for songs that project a fiery Rastafarian message. However, his earlier songs, such as Welcome The Outlaw, Ragga Ragga and Whosoever Will, were dance-crashers in the 1990s.



"We always ah sing about Africa, with songs like Ragga Ragga this is just a natural extension of my beliefs, we ah African kings by birth so we sing about the motherland and where we forward from," he said.


He insists that his current songs are just as potent, despite the lack of consistent airplay.





"I have recorded so many hit songs, and none of dem never hit the Jamaican charts. What that tell you? People know of the great works, but people like to talk and spread propoganda. But if something is not important, people wouldn't talk about it so mek dem talk," he said, emphatically.



He said he never named himself 'The Outlaw', that nom de guerre was bestowed him by his dancehall fans.


Born Vandorne Johnson in Hanover, Jamaica, Terry Ganzie emerged in the late 1980s and 1990s as one of the most respected voices in reggae and dancehall.

Influenced early on by greats such as Barry Brown and Super Cat, Ganzie became known for his socially conscious lyrics and uncompromising “reality” style.
He worked the small circuit in his native parish before recording his first song, More Vibes, 30 years ago for producer Ed Robinson’s Top Rank label.





His breakthrough song was Welcome The Outlaw, a hard-hitting, grimy gem of a song produced by Lloyd “John John” James. A flood of hits such as Ragga Ragga (Bobby Digital), Whosoever Will, Showdown (Penthouse Records) and Prepare fi War (Shocking Vibes) established him as a dancehall music icon in that golden era of dancehall, one who was admired for addressing real-life struggles through music.

RIDDIM FYAH - A NEW SINGLE BY SKYGRASS


 

Skygrass, one of the fastest rising reggae artists in the world, today announced the release of his new single and visualizer, "Riddim Fyah," which features collaborations with reggae veterans Lutan Fyah and Turbulence. The track represents a powerful fusion of contemporary and traditional reggae voices, positioning Skygrass as a bridge between generations in the genre.



Skygrass specifically sought artists with what he calls "that fire" for the track, selecting Lutan Fyah and Turbulence as highly respected vocalists who embody the integrity he values in reggae music. "The partnership with Turbulence holds special significance for me," explained Skygrass. "It represents a full circle moment in my musical journey. We first met at a recording studio when I was creating my very first demo years ago, now we're on the track together. It's three guys with integrity, both in life and in reggae. You can FEEL the good vibes."





The release of "Riddim Fyah" positions Skygrass as the frontrunner in the new generation of reggae artists. His unique ability to connect with veteran artists while introducing fresh sounds demonstrates what has come to be known as his "new school with an old soul" approach to the genre. His authenticity stems from his deep connection to reggae culture and his Rastafarian faith.

The artist's commitment to his craft is evident in his meticulous approach to music creation. He spent two years developing his upcoming "Walking On Water" album, which is set to be released on October 10, 2025. In the process of producing "Walking On Water," Skygrass reveals his multi-instrumentalist side, playing guitar, drums, percussion, sitar, bass, keys, and more.

JAMAICAN BORN ARTIST BRINGS REGGAE GOLD TO THE WORLD



Rasta Blacspade drops I Love You EP, blending reggae with powerful messages of love, unity, and social change. Rasta Blacspade, the Jamaican-born, U.S.-based reggae sensation and finalist in the prestigious International Reggae and Music Awards (I.R.A.M.A.) 2023, has struck musical gold with his latest project-his highly anticipated 6-track EP, I Love You. Produced by veteran Jamaican producer Dub Chemist, this EP is a powerful collection of songs that speak to the universal need for love, unity, and social change.



Described as "an EP for everyone," I Love You addresses critical global issues affecting families and communities. Dub Chemist, known for his ability to blend music with meaningful storytelling, emphasizes the EP's impact:

"If each of us would say 'I love you'-to the Creator and to one another-there would be more peace and fewer broken pieces in our lives."

The standout track, "Love Over All Things," has already gained international attention for its powerful message about choosing humanity over materialism. According to Rasta Blacspade, the song serves as a reminder that society's obsession with wealth often overshadows the pillars of survival-love, unity, and peace.

"Instead of more weapons, we need more hospitals, schools, and jobs to fight poverty," says Rasta Blacspade.

Other notable tracks include "Hail Jah," "High Herb", "Rasta Live," "Be Like the Sea," "Africa Love," and the title track "I Love You." These songs have resonated deeply with fans, achieving chart success in Europe and the Caribbean. "Rasta Live," for example, has amassed over 200,000 views and continues to gain traction globally. Meanwhile, "Africa Love" is on its way to becoming an anthem across the African continent.




Born Wade Douglas in Brown's Hall, St. Catherine, Jamaica, Rasta Blacspade discovered his love for reggae at the young age of six. He balanced music with his education, attending Brown's Hall Primary School before moving on to Tacius Golding High School, where he earned a Business Diploma while simultaneously refining his musical skills.

Although he initially struggled to gain traction in Jamaica's competitive reggae scene, his break came when he moved to Kingston and was invited into the studios of reggae legends Luciano, Al Campbell, Steele, and Cleavee. Recognized for his versatility and unique sound, he quickly gained respect within the industry.

NOW 6 HOURS OF STRAIGHT PRAISES


Taking into consideration that listeners had asked repetitively, "what happened to our REGGAE SUNDAY show", as well as the amount of  tracks giving praises to JAH that was accumulating in our library; it only made sense  at the beginning of 2025 to reincorporate REGGAE SUNDAY, Only this time it will be entirely focused on giving Sunday praises to the MOST HIGH. It was scheduled to start 9 am CST and run straight through  till noon, uninterrupted, non-stop. 



Both mainstream artists and our beloved indie artists are featured like: Ginjah, Abby Dallas, Ansel Collins, Cathy Matete, Fyah George, Anthony B, Jah Niceness, Zerimar, Jah Defender and so many more.




To our delight, the show started gaining traction, and is was not long after that we were receiving a lot of positive feedback. Enough so that we now have expanded the show from 3 hours non-stop to 6 hours non-stop. Family, you are invited to join the globe for some maaaaaaaaad Sunday praises now starting at 6am and running until noon. 





Artists, you are encouraged to send radio ready MP3's to : shyrickgroup@gmail.com. We will take a listen to it, and if the track is praiseworthy we will add it to the show.
