Sativa D Black1 Brings: “Proud Of My Decision”


 

In 2026, reggae and dancehall continued to make room for songs that speak plainly about accountability, pressure, and personal choice, and Sativa D Black1’s “Proud Of My Decision” fits right into that conversation. The title alone points to a reflective tune, one that sounds less interested in gloss than in standing firm on a life choice and saying it out loud. With Juna-Vill Records behind the production, the release comes across as a direct, singer-driven single rather than a big-cast juggling, which gives the message space to land.



Sativa D Black1 is listed clearly as the lone artist on the track, and that matters because this is the kind of song that depends on voice and conviction more than quantity. The subject is personal, but it also has the kind of universality that reggae listeners recognize quickly: decision-making, self-respect, and the confidence to live with the consequences. Even without a long run of extra verses or featured guests, a song like this can carry weight if the delivery is steady and the phrasing is sharp. The release year attached to it is 2026, which places it in a period where roots-conscious and message-led singles continue to sit comfortably alongside harder dancehall output.




There is also a useful bit of context in the credit itself. Juna-Vill Records is named as the producer, so the song should be read as a label-backed statement, not just an isolated upload. That usually tells you the arrangement was meant to support the lyric rather than crowd it, and for a title like this, that is exactly the right approach. The track stands alone in the posted tracklist, which suggests a deliberate single release with no filler, no alternate cuts, and no competing versions. That single-track structure centres on one voice, one message, and one decision.





Major Terro Musiq keeps Pushing the Zimbabwean Dancehall Sound With Hit N Catch Riddim


 

Major Terro Musiq keeps pushing the Zimbabwean dancehall sound with Hit N Catch Riddim, a 2026 project cut at a fast, skanking pace and voiced by a heavy local lineup. The rhythm runs at a hard club tempo, with the kind of clipped, digital bounce that leaves room for chant-heavy vocals, quick-turn hooks and enough space for the bass to punch through. Major Terro is not just credited as producer here; he also closes the set with his own title cut, which helps frame the riddim as a statement of identity rather than just a servicing vehicle for multiple voices.



The strongest pull comes from the names carrying the most recognisable weight in the sequence: King Alfa AKA Kadiki on “Yadeuka Yadeuka, ” Mad Viper on “Mukana, ” Libho on “Carolina, ” Mr Attention on “Love, ” Blendaz on “Ngainaye, ” Vybz T on “Ngazvirambe, ” Stallion Gangster on “Rugare, ” and Badboy Katero on “Mukuru Wee. ” The lineup also includes Team AV, Legend Killer, Hudol, Indica, Lanko Mutokonyo, Young Fantan, Jakal Music, Daddy Punch and Chipredator, which gives the riddim a broad Zimdancehall spread rather than a one-artist showcase.


TAP ON IMAGE TO GO THERE

What makes the project work is the way each cut rides the same bright, propulsive foundation without flattening the personalities. Some singers go for terse street chants, others stretch into more melodic phrasing, and the title track anchors the whole thing with a producer’s own stamp. Hit N Catch lands as a busy, speaker-ready riddim built for juggling, with enough momentum to keep the dancefloor moving and enough local names to make it feel rooted in the current Zimbabwe scene.




BRINGING TO YOU REGGAE FROM GHANA IS: LEXICON


 

In the heart of Ghana’s vibrant music scene, reggae-dancehall artist Lexikon erupts with a blazing new single, “I Burn” — a track that fuses spiritual conviction with roots reggae energy and is a declaration of empowerment transformation and divine guidance.



From the opening cry “Everblazing!”, Lexikon sets the tone that this fire is not a physical one,  but inner fire for purification, illumination, inner renewal and empowerment. The lyrics proclaim that this flame is the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit — a guiding light that judges, convicts, and empowers believers, echoing the biblical pillar of fire that led Israel through the wilderness.




By blending patois, biblical imagery, and Ghanaian cultural references, Lexikon bridges worlds: the Caribbean roots reggae, the African heritage of “Ogya,” and the universal Christian testimony of faith. The track is not only music but ministry — a call to rise, shine, and burn inwardly with divine purpose.



William Bramwell Koufie, popularly known as Lexikon, is a Ghanaian reggae and dancehall artist, insurance consultant, father, and social advocate.




Born on 14 August 1980 in Cape Coast, Ghana, he has dedicated his life to using music as a platform to inspire, educate, and empower people, particularly the youth.

BLAST FROM THE PAST: THIRD WORLD - REGGAE VARIOUS ARTISTS


 Third World LP 1976 @ 224 kbps (DOWNLOAD)



Step with us into the time vault and sample a 1976 THIRD WORLD LP  - featuring REGGAE VARIOUS ARTISTS. A 10 track treat where  side one is instrumental and side two is vocal.  Buggis is the main attraction on this album featuring three beautiful instrumentals by him. 






Third World is a Jamaican reggae fusion band formed in 1973. Their sound is influenced by soul, funk and disco. 




Third World is one of the longest-lived reggae bands of all time, and one of Jamaica's most consistently popular crossover acts among international audiences. While the band was long capable of authentic roots reggae, they usually preferred to mix in elements of ReB, funk, pop, and rock (and, later on, dancehall and rap). 





Purists often criticized their music as tame and polished, overly beholden to commercial concerns. 




Indeed, they were regular visitors to the American and British charts during the '80s, but the best of their output was undeniably satisfying on a creative level as well.






We spent a considerable amount of time searching for an online audio sample of the album to no avail.  You will have to download to take a listen to this one family.

CLIVE HUNT DROPS A NEW 11 TRACK ALBUM - LET'S CHECK IT OUT!



At 74, music producer, arranger, multi-instrumentalist and artiste Clive Hunt is showing no signs of slowing down. After more than five decades helping to shape Jamaican music and working with some of the biggest names locally and internationally, the visually impaired music veteran is stepping from behind the console and into the spotlight with his new album, Undeniably Clive Hunt aka Lizzard.



Released on Friday and now available across major streaming platforms, the 11-track project presents another side of the acclaimed producer – the singer and recording artiste.





While Hunt is internationally recognized for his work as a producer, arranger and musician, singing is not entirely new territory for him. He recalls recording several songs earlier in his career, with some performing well in the United Kingdom and the United States’ New York Tri-State area. Despite being encouraged over the years to record more of his own music, Hunt largely remained behind the scenes, producing and creating for others.


 




Future Fambo, Lumiya Fyah and Wippa Demus link up on “Summer Party"


 

Future Fambo, Lumiya Fyah and Wippa Demus link up on “Summer Party, ” a sunshine-side dancehall cut from Quincy Din Records that lands in 2026. The song is pitched exactly where the title suggests: fling-out energy, summer heat, and a call to keep the session moving. Quincy Din has been steadily building a catalogue of dancehall and reggae releases over the past few years, often pairing veteran voices with streetwise, radio-ready production, and this one fits that run without sounding routine.



Future Fambo gives the track its most recognizable pull. The Kingston deejay has long been tied to the modern dancehall conversation, from his early work as Future Troubles to the sort of rowdy, melodic presence that helped make “Rum and Red Bull” a durable name in the scene. Wippa Demus brings a deeper sound-system lineage, with credits stretching back years across reggae and dancehall projects, while Lumiya Fyah adds a roots-conscious edge that broadens the record beyond pure party chat.


TAP ON IMAGE TO GO THERE


The result is upbeat and bounce-heavy, with a bashment-friendly groove that leaves room for the voices to trade energy instead of crowding the rhythm. The vocal approach feels loose and chatty, built for wheels-up rotation rather than heavy sentiment. It’s the kind of summer single that keeps its hook simple, its mood warm, and its intent obvious: dance, link up, and let the riddim do the rest.




Jamarii comes with “Clean Heart”


 

Jamarii comes with “Clean Heart” in a lane he has been carving out across recent singles: melodic reggae-dancehall with a reflective center and enough edge to feel current. The song title points to spiritual self-check and renewal, and that idea fits his catalog, which has leaned into uplift, persistence, and everyday pressure rather than empty bravado.



On the production side, the release sits with Tru Ambassador Next Generation, the same camp that has been moving Jamarii’s 2026 output, including “Stay Tonight” and the Weekday-linked “YTTB. ” That connection matters because it places “Clean Heart” inside a working creative run rather than as an isolated drop. Jamarii’s artist profile has him as a Caribbean vocalist with a modern reggae and dancehall touch, someone who balances hooky phrasing with a direct, street-level feel. His recent singles show he is comfortable crossing from motivational cuts to more personal records without losing momentum.




“Clean Heart” sounds like the kind of record built for repeat play rather than quick shock value: smooth enough to carry the message, sturdy enough to work in a juggling. The mood is devotional but not stiff, with the sort of clean-lined vocal approach that lets the lyric land without overdoing it. In a scene where conscious dancehall still needs songs that can travel outside the sermon lane, Jamarii is keeping that balance in view.




Triple Ess Music Introduces Their New Banger: "Champion"

“Champion” pairs Triple Ess with Lutan Fyah and Tabeta Cshae on a 2026 single issued through Triple Ess Music. Triple Ess, known in the scene as Solomon Salmon, came up as both an audio engineer and singer, and his own imprint has already carried several recent roots-leaning collaborations. Lutan Fyah needs little introduction: the Spanish Town-born singer has spent years carving out conscious reggae with a strong, upright delivery and a catalogue that stretches from early-2000s albums to a steady run of singles. Tabeta Cshae brings a smoother, melodic edge, adding contrast to a track that is clearly designed for message music rather than dancehall flash.
The song sits in that thoughtful reggae lane where the groove does the heavy lifting: a measured pulse, warm low end, and a restrained arrangement that leaves room for the vocals to land. The title tells the story, framing the record around resilience, self-belief and spiritual uplift. Lutan Fyah’s presence gives it weight, while Triple Ess and Tabeta Cshae help widen the texture so the record feels less like a straight duet and more like a shared affirmation.



For Triple Ess Music, “Champion” fits a catalogue that has been moving steadily through roots-conscious collaborations in 2026. It is the kind of single that values message, harmony and timing in equal measure, with the three voices meeting on a tune built for listeners who still want substance in their reggae.
