Soca sensation Patrice Roberts has teamed up with Jamaica’s very own Tarrus Riley for this rhythmic cross-genre mix, All My Life. The two singers take to the easy-sounding calypso beat, produced by Rohan “Patexx” Rankine for a sweet lovers exchange; “Just maybe you might be the one, so before you leave, mek I give you all my love. Come take it … all my love, take it,” Roberts teases in her verses, while Riley pleads, “Baby just keep it for me, don’t give it away now.” Check out the Xtreme Arts-directed visuals shot in Kingston, Jamaica below.

Rytikal – Mirror 

Rytikal is as guarded as ever in his new single Mirror. Suited in warrior-style gear in the music video, the Dancehall deejay takes to the Hapilos Records-produced song to denounce the negative influences around him, declaring the mirror is his only competition. “Mi competition ah di mirror, mi nuh see you, mi nuh see nobody, mi nuh see doubt … so miraculous, mi nuh give up,”  he sings in lyrics.
