Precision Productions Unleashes the Full Throttle Riddim for Cropover!


Inspired by many late nights and the bottled vigor of the energy drink that saw them through, Precision Productions has created their first ever Cropover Riddim.

The Full Throttle Riddim kick starts energy levels and keeps them at a thrilling speed in each and every song, as team Precision injects a high velocity punch into the land of the lethal wuk up wine.

In the all Bajan artistic line up, Jus10 may be the youngest but exhibits his versatile abilities, as he vociferously commands all talented gyraters to show off their many skills in the animatedly written track by Peter “Wildfire” Noel, fittingly named “Work It”.

Inches then leads the Kadooment Day charge with his furiously paced “Wukkup”. Patrick “Mista Vybe” Gordon’s sizzling lyrics join the vibrant vocals to provide a powerful musical boost sure to keep the festival road fervently pulsing.

The world-renowned Queen of Barbadian soca, Alison Hinds, continues the Riddim’s blistering tempo as she tantalizes and mercilessly teases audiences alongside her equally regal partner in crime, Mr. Dale. The skilful veterans put on what can only be described as a wickedly blazing Nesta “Sekon Sta” Boxill written battle of the sexes.

As anticipation and expectations course through the land, word of the impending release has inveigled the makers of Full Throttle, the energy drink, to merge forces with Precision Productions in order to create a never-before-seen musical campaign in Barbados.

It may be their first Riddim incursion into Bajan territory but it marks the closing phase in the next volume of Precision’s global musical domination…We Muzik Vol 2 coming soon!

Wayne Wonder Announces First Album In Six Years


Wayne Wonder, the world-renowned singer known for his velvety vocals, pulsating rhythms and catchy hooks, has announced the release of My Way, his first new album in six years available on September 11.

My Way is Wonder’s first album on his own label Singso Music after his departure from VP Records. He founded Singso Music in 2000 and it’s been a launching pad for artists like Ally Cat, Showki Ru, Frankie Sly and Mr. Easy.

Recorded in Miami (Wonder’s primary residence) and Jamaica, My Way is the perfect combination of irresistible island rhythms (“This Time,” “Put Your Drinks Up” and “Overall”), sensuous r&b gems (“Anne Lou,” “All About You” and “If I Ever” ft. Mya) and vibrant dance anthems ("Caught Up," “Drop It Down Low“ and “Sweet Dreams”).

"The album has some new twists. I make sure my sound is updated like a MacBook Pro, but I’m sticking to what I do best. I’m a lover at heart, so that is what I sing about and why my fans have grown to love me. I’m all about positivity and creating these vibes," states Wonder.

Wayne Wonder rallied top producers - Kingston’s Tony Kelly (who co-produced Wonder’s Grammy-nominated album No Holding Back), Stephen Genius McGregor, Dre Day, Freelancer as well as Miami-based Riddim Fingaz (credits include Trey Songz, Sean Paul, Mya) - to form a polished 14-track opus of sweet serenades and sexy club bangers. This irresistible formula is poised for commercial success.

His contagious first single "Caught Up" is off Love Bug riddim and produced by Kingston collective Washroom Entertainment. The sizzling new music video directed by Antwan Smith (credits include Rick Ross, Trina, Maino, Cam'ron), received over 22,000 YouTube views on its first day and has over 95,000 views on Worldstarhiphop.com to date.

Since his self-titled debut album in 1987, the Portland native, born Von Wayne Charles, has been responsible for an extraordinary catalog of reggae hits including "Saddest Day," "Bonafide Love (Movie Star)" ft. Buju Banton, "No Letting Go," "Love and Affection" and many more. He hit the national spotlight in 2003 when his album No Holding Back (Atlantic Records) and its hit single, “No Letting Go,” dominated urban radio in America.

The song peaked at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and the album debut at #29 on Billboard Hot 200 chart. This success led him to national TV appearances, including a performance on NBC's Saturday Night Live.

His later albums moved further toward hip-hop, which led to collaborations with numerous artists including Foxy Brown, Trina, TLC’s Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes and CNN: Capone & N.O.R.E. His last album, 2007’s Foreva, debuted at #6 on the Billboard Top Reggae Albums chart. My Way is a celebration of Wayne’s return and his full creative control over the entire process.

"My Way is more personal to me than my previous albums because it was done on my terms, so I never felt limited. I was blessed to have a talented team of musicians, engineers and producers working by my side. I’m proud of the final product and can't wait for fans to hear what I’ve been working on over the years," concludes Wonder.
