Vybz Kartel & Kingston Story have been featured on the Billboard and MTV websites this week, with Eddie ‘Stats’ Houghton discussing production, controversy & bullsh**t in his review for MTV Iggy, describing Kingston Story as ‘dancehall to the core’, while Patricia Meschino from Billboard discusses Vybz’ empire and business plan post-Corey Todd.
The latest release to come from Roska’s rising underground label, Kicks and Snares, comes courtesy of Hotflush head man, Spectr (aka, Scuba). The 2 track release features bass heavy, ‘Dance 4 Me’, which is already being deemed a ‘future classic’, along with ‘I Know’, an incredibly catchy track, with vocals that’ll stick in your head for days! Buy the release from Boomkat, here.
Spectr – Dance 4 Me
This video has an aggressively surreal style similar to Major Lazer’s “Pon De Floor” break out of a few years ago. “Que Que” can be found on Dave Nada’s new Blow Your Head Vol. 2 Moombahton Compilation out now on Mad Decent.
A year in the making, the Dre Skull-produced Vybz Kartel album Kingston Story is finally available!
You’ve seen the video for the first single, you’ve heard Kartel speak about working on the album and then there is the still building stream of press coverage (for starters see here, here and here), but now we can finally share the music. This is Mixpak putting our best foot forward and we hope you like it!
