I Grade Artist Toussaint to Release Album Tittled Black Gold



Best known as the former lead singer of the Stax Records and Blue Note recording group Soulive, Toussaint is poised to bring forth his unforgettable blend of soul and roots to the world.

A former lead singer for Soulive, Toussaint’s album Black Gold reflects Toussaint’s soul, gospel, reggae and jazz roots. Black Gold, (set for a summer 2010 release), will be a defining moment for soul reggae and music fans everywhere.

The 15-track collection of epic songs captured on Black Gold is the product of Toussaint’s soulful pedigree and I Grade Records’ unique approach to crafting genre-defying soundscapes. The musical influences on Black Gold run the gamut from deep roots to classic soul to jazz to hip hop. Outstanding musicianship is a hallmark of this release that features acclaimed troubadours such as Tuff Lion, Dean Pond, Santa Davis, Youssoupha Sidibe, Johnny Trama and others. Truly an album unlike any other, Black Gold lays the foundation for a new genre of Soul Roots.

Westside Konnection Records to Drop Summer Breeze and Silk Rhythms



The summer is hot and as usual the events calendar is overloaded. In the mean time people are partying none stop all over Jamaica, as the party season moves into high gear. As expected there is also a proliferation of new songs coming out almost daily from both established and up and coming producers. Negril based production house Westside Konnection Records is very keen on getting in on the summer action.

The record label that recently opened its recording studio which is located on the West End (One Love Drive) of the tourist resort town, is about to drop two sizzling hot one drop rhythms for the summer. The rhythms are called the Summer Breeze and the Silk and feature songs from several artists that are affiliated with the label such as Junior X, Ruffi-Ann, Timmi Burrell, Nique, Rexxx, West Bank, Trendy, Tmar, Salanyde and Shedroc.

When contacted this is what a spokesperson from Westside Konnection Records had to say about the soon to be released rhythm projects: “We are very confident that both rhythms will do well because all of the artists we recorded on the Summer Breeze and the Silk rhythms, did some very good songs on them. We will be putting a lot of promotion behind these songs as it is our intention to make our mark on the local market and then go international and producing good music is the only way we can do that.”

He also stated that Westside Konnection Records is fully dedicated to the development of new talents and deliberately chose not to record a lot of established acts on the rhythms. All songs on both rhythms will be available through all leading internet stores including Itunes, Amazon.com and Emusic before the end of August.
