24 SEP 2024 · This week on BOSS Radio, we had the pleasure of diving deep into the world of reggae and hip-hop with none other than South African multi-platinum artist Don Dada. His latest project, the double album "The Heart & The Mind," is making waves globally and touching on issues that resonate with listeners from all walks of life.
During our interview, we discussed three standout tracks from the album: Rise Up, Blessings, and Memories. Each song encapsulates a unique aspect of Don Dada’s musical philosophy—whether it’s pushing through life’s struggles, recognizing the blessings around us, or reflecting on the power of memory. These songs speak directly to the heart and mind, a perfect reflection of the album’s theme.
But the conversation went beyond music. Don Dada and I touched on pressing issues, like the ongoing battle over public access to Bob Marley Beach in Jamaica, and similar struggles over land rights in South Africa. The artist’s perspective on the global impact of these struggles added depth to our discussion, showing how his music is not only a call to action but a representation of the world’s current climate.
The Heart & The Mind is a two-disc masterpiece: one disc is packed with reggae and dancehall vibes that uplift the spirit, while the other disc delves into hip-hop, tackling societal challenges head-on. This album perfectly captures the duality of the human experience—the emotional and the intellectual.
If you haven’t already, now’s the time to stream this powerful album. As Don Dada said in the interview, “clear some time and take in the full journey.” You won’t regret it!

12 JUN 2024 · SHALOM!!!
Get ready for a reggae redemption story that will have you shouting "Hallelujah!" and skanking to the beat all at once. Today, we delve into the incredible life and music of Stephen Omar Harper, better known by his stage names: Stevie Wonder (yes, you read that right!), and the mighty Shalom!
Shalom's journey began in 1968, in the heart of Kingston, Jamaica. Music coursed through his veins from a young age, with the eight-year-old already belting out tunes. Fate intervened when he met the legendary Sugar Minott, founder of Youth Man Promotion Recording Studio. This is where Stevie Wonder, the name (don't ask!), transformed into a teenage reggae enthusiast soaking up knowledge under the wing of a master.

Those early days saw Shalom touring the globe as a backup vocalist alongside the likes of the late Jennifer Lara. He crisscrossed continents, experiencing the electric energy of reggae fans in England, Germany, France, Canada, Japan, the US, and even Africa!

By 1997, it was time to step out of the shadows. Shalom emerged, and with him came the smash hit "Baby I've Got News For You." This wasn't just any song; it dominated the charts in Jamaica, England, and even Malawi for a whopping 14 weeks! Love songs like "I Love You Forever" solidified Shalom's place as a reggae force to be reckoned with.

Then, in 2002, a twist of fate (or perhaps divine intervention?) changed everything. During a US tour, Shalom reconnected with his fiancée, Rose Hamilton, who was deeply involved in ministry work. A spiritual awakening followed, leading Shalom to embrace Christianity.

This newfound faith led to a new direction. In 2004, Shalom, now an ordained pastor, released his debut Gospel album, "Never Changing God." His music continued to evolve, with tracks like "Jesus Don't Stop At All" winning him the Caribbean Gospel Award.

Shalom hasn't forgotten his roots, though. Collaborations with reggae and Gospel artists like Glacia Robinson and Avalanche showcase his ability to bridge genres.

And the beat goes on! His latest single, "Mi Daddy Nuh Dead," is a testament to Shalom's ever-evolving sound and message.
So there you have it, folks! From reggae rebel to Gospel warrior, Shalom's story is an inspiration to us all. His music continues to bridge cultures and uplift spirits, reminding us that faith, love, and a killer reggae beat can truly move mountains!

20 MAY 2024 · Reggae legend King Kong, also known as Dennis Thomas, emerged in the early 1980s Jamaican music scene alongside other iconic artists like Tenor Saw and Nitty Gritty. His talent was quickly recognized by the legendary producer King Tubby, who brought him on board to record several singles for the Firehouse label, including "Step On Dem Corn," "Aids," and "Babylon."
As digital music began to reshape the soundscape in 1985, King Kong collaborated with Anthony Red Rose on the hit song "Two Big Bull Ina One Pen." He later joined forces with producer King Jammy, churning out successive hits like "Legal We Legal," "Trouble Again," and "Mix Up" between 1985 and 1986. King Kong's versatility was further showcased during this period through his work with other labels including Black Scorpio, Bunny Lee, and Prince Jazzbo.In the late 1980s, King Kong's career took him beyond Jamaica to the United States and Canada, where he established his own label, Conscious Music.King Kong continued to make his mark in the late 1980s with a tribute song, "He Was A Friend," dedicated to the late reggae artist Tenor Saw. He then set his sights on new horizons, traveling to London in the early 1990s. There, he collaborated with several prominent figures in the reggae scene, including Mafia & Fluxy, Fashion Records, and Gussie P. He also linked up with the New York-based label Massive B.King Kong's creative spark remained evident in 1990 when he recorded a dubplate, a custom-made reggae record, titled "Call Mr. Madden." While initially unreleased, the song's potential was undeniable. Two years later, producer Bobby Konders decided to share "Call Mr. Madden" with the world, and it became a dancehall hit. Interestingly, the Fugees would later draw inspiration from this title for their smash hit "Fu-Gee-La" released in 1996.Despite these successes, King Kong's reggae career maintained a sporadic presence on the global stage.Reggae Reignited: Later Years and Continued SuccessAfter facing legal troubles in the mid-1990s, King Kong returned to Jamaica and reconnected with producer King Jammy, releasing tracks like "Seize All Guns" and "Break Down The Walls." However, it was the New York label Massive B who truly reignited his artistic fire. Collaborations with them produced inspirational songs like "Jah Is My Best Friend," "Earth Is The Lord," and "I Feel A Joy."King Kong's adventurous spirit then led him to Ethiopia in 2007. This new chapter culminated in the 2012 release of his 10th album, "Ethiopian Dream," a collaboration with the Dutch label King Shiloh. Singles like "Sweet Rub A Dub" and a cover of "Door Peeper" kept the momentum going. In 2017, he dropped an EP titled "In The Old Capital" featuring five tracks and their dub versions, produced by Old Capital Records.King Kong's artistic wellspring continued to flow in 2018 with the release of the acclaimed album "Repatriation" on the Irie Ites Records label. With a career spanning over 35 years and boasting an impressive discography of 12 albums and countless singles, King Kong remains a force to be reckoned with in the reggae world mark the minds of fans of the artist!
