450 – Live n’ Learn
In his latest release Live n’ Learn, 450 shares a life lesson of betrayal and disappointment accompanied by a thrilling Damaniac-directed music video. The song, produced by Sponge Music on the Forgive Riddim details the artist’s experiences with pain and hurt at the hands of people he loved. “[My] heart f**ked up cause I’ve been hurt too much … mi get hurt in a too much way ‘till mi heart don’t feel no pain … we live and learn, memba dat,” he sings in some of his verses.
Busy Signal – Tonight
Busy Signal’s Tonight takes us inside a love affair of duplicitous proportions as seen in the visuals directed by SHADO and Hybrid Media Concept. Wanting to maintain the relationships of two lovers, the deejay sings, “Girl give me one more chance … let’s not break up, ups and downs is what made us, this is what love is made of, I only want to be with you.” After fighting with both ladies, it appears they want nothing more than to work it out too, but there might be a third woman to worry about. Watch:
Govana – Comfort Zone
Govana sets an introspective mood with his new single Comfort Zone while baring his resolve to do good by the people who need him the most. “I can’t fail myself, and I won’t fail my friends, my family depends on me. Real thugs don’t switch up ends, and I will fight and bleed to make sure my kids get fed,” he sings.
T’Jean, Chronic Law, Sizzla Kalonji – Worthy Cause
Worthy Cause produced by Sonovic Music and Izreal Records brings a dynamic display of Reggae talents thanks to the kaleidoscopic bars of Sizzla Kalonji backed by Law Boss’s unforced Dancehall flows and T’Jean’s refined Rastafarian sway on the beat. The three take turns enlightening the lawless to “strap up” for war only when it’s for a “worthy cause”.
Deep Jahi, Chronic Law – Heart Of A Sinna
Deep Jahi and Chronic Law say they have the Heart of a Sinna in their latest song. For Jahi, he admits he’s not proud of his past but asks for guidance, and the Law Boss says “badness a mi only code.” Check out the ReelVisions-directed music video below:
