Money Green/Frenz For Real Drops Another Bomb!‏


Kingston, Jamaica - At the beginning of 2011 Money Green and Frenz For Real (two separate record labels working on several collaborative projects) made it clear that their intention was to set themselves apart from other labels this year. With the release of their new rhythm driven album entitled “Raid Riddim”, it can be said that they have done just that.

Raid Riddim has nineteen tracks, all of which are hit singles; this according to dancehall critiques who have heard the entire album. Raid is very dark and a few tracks have explicit content, but every flow and delivery on this album is top shelf. The two leading singles (“pressure” by Smokie Benz and “rum inna it” by Propally), which were released weeks ahead of the album, have been getting good rotation since they hit the airways.

Some critiques have said it’s the best they have heard Turbulence on a dancehall rhythm in a while. And the depth in Bentley and Karamanti’s songs are breath taking. Additionally, they have said that this rhythm will be the one to propel the career of newcomer Propally, who has three songs on the album. That being said, if you are not an avid dancehall lover, you may find the Raid Riddim too aggressive for you.

Konshens Lives In The Heart Of The Street‏


KINGSTON, JAMAICA - When asked to name the one thing he’s happy about career wise right now, deejay Konshens, without any hesitation, said: “Being in Jamaica and performing for my fans here at home.”
The artiste, who spent part of 2009 and most of 2010 on overseas tours –
promotional and otherwise – took the informed decision to come off the road in 2011 and “focus on yaad”.

This, apparently was a wise move as it is working like a charm. Konshens has been making himself available for local shows and the response from his fans has been heartwarming, he confesses with an appreciative smile that lights up his entire face.

Konshens, who has a full repertoire consisting of old and new material, recently performed at the Irie FM roadshows in the parishes of Portland and St. Mary and, at the end of the sessions, easily reclaimed his space in the dancehall. In fact, some would say that it was as if he had never been on a short hiatus from the local stage.

As Konshens reeled off hits like Winner, Rasta Imposter, This Means Money,Good Girl Gone Bad, Gal Dem A Talk, Realest Friend, Represent and Forward, the fans embraced him and sang the songs word-for-word. The deejay took command of the stage, communicated with the audience and gave them “more pon more”.

The crowd loved it and readily showed their high-spirited appreciation. “It was a good feeling, plus it made me realize that even though I have work to do in Jamaica, it’s not as much as I had thought.

The people still love the old tunes and they have taken on to the new songs. Konshens lives in the heart of the streets," he said. "This year we a ‘tun up di turbo’,” the deejay declared, quoting from his latest single, Forward. Meanwhile, Konshens is looking forward to upcoming local dates including Live on the Waterfront at Mo Bay’s Pier One and Code Red Anniversary at Margaritaville on Easter Sunday.

On Easter Monday, he leaves Jamaica for a show in Guyana.
