Reggae Artist Mackeehan Release “Legal to Kill” (feat. Jah-Lil)

February 5, 2018 in RAP MUSIC

After writing songs for?some of the top Jamaican stars including Jah Cure, Luciano, Etana, and C Sharp, roots-lovers rock artist Mackeehan is giving his career some of the spotlight. The 36-year-old releases the new single? ‘Legal to Kill,’ which features reggae artist Jah Lil.

Mackeehan seeks to encourage people and inspire change through his music, and “Legal to Kill” exposes how police brutality, prescription drugs, and poor quality food are methods used by the government to legally kill the underprivileged.

“Dem say dem love yah, but damn dem ah fake it / Dem set the law and only dem can break it / Protector fi yuh life, but ‘not guilty’ when dem take it,” he sings.

The revolutionary track hits home to many in and outside of Jamaica today especially with the current ‘black lives movement’ taking place internationally. For Mackeehan, “its a message for the voiceless, a message to mek the bigger heads know say we aware, but righteousness must prevail, open your eyes my people and live up.” ‘Legal to Kill’ is produced by Florida-based Kong Star Records.

Growing up on Jamaica’s Gully Side in Cassava Piece, Mackeehan used music to uplift and inspire those dealing with the harsh realities of daily life. In 2006, he made it to the finals in the Jamaica Popular Song competition with his original song “Rise Up.” The song is now played every morning on Roots FM as the intro track for their morning program of the same name. For Mackeehan, music is the medicine to heal and help people seek a brighter tomorrow.

Noochie – “Something, Something” Ft. F?nsho

January 30, 2018 in RAP VIDEOS

Do you remember your high school crush? Rapper Noochie will have you reminiscing about your high school days while watching his new video for “Something, Something,” featuring F?nsho. The video takes us down the school’s hallways, into the classroom, and to the annual talent show, as Noochie and F?nsho perform the single, accompanied by a band.

Noochie tries to convince a classmate he is interested in dating to give him a shot. Not taking no for an answer, Noochie insists that he is the right one for her and proves that he?s not like other guys.

?Girl I can?t sit right here / And just watch you waste your time with these fools / And I can?t help but wait / And can?t help but say / That I?m just right for you / Now I need my shot and my chance / Hoping that my wishes come true / Girl I want you / What I gotta do,? he raps.

F?nsho continues the conversation by letting us know that a relationship can?t flourish if steps aren?t taken to make it work.

??Cause something, something, something / Turns to nothing, nothing, nothing / If we wait too long / What are we waiting on / Not rushing into nothing / But you need this kind of loving / Girl don’t take it wrong / What are we waiting on,? he sings.

You can find ?Something, Something? on Noochie’s second mixtape titled ‘New Regular.’ Fans near San Francisco, Santa Ana, and Los Angeles can catch him performing ?Something, Something? and other tracks from New Regular as an opening act for Lil Uzi Vert on the following dates:

January 31st – San Francisco Amory, San Francisco
February 1st – The Observatory, Santa Ana
