Get Raggabalder's new mixtape "When The Smoke Clears" here | Releaseparty in Oslo upcoming weekend may 10th.

Raggabalder Riddim Rebels outta Norway presents
When The Smoke Clears Mixtape: Classics from the Living Room Era
Hosted by Wayne Marshall (JAM).

[Download here.] Listen + tracklist below.

Releaseparty this weekend friday may 10th in Oslo @ Blå.

Raggabalder first gained notoriety when Norwegian Hiphop pioneers Joddski and Steezy started their seminal Ramsalt Ragga and Hoya Kadoy-nights at legendary Oslo club Living Room in 2001.

Oslo at the time was devoid of dancehall nights and the northern posse introduced Oslos nightlife to modern dancehall, mixing
it up with crunk, hiphop, foundation and whatever they fancied at the moment.
Raggabalder also brought most of Scandinavias heavyweights to town during this era, resulting in an award for Oslo Best Club in 2004. When The Smoke Clears reflects this era. Not necessarily the best or most famous tunes of the era, but Raggabalders personal favourites, as selected by Joddski.

Snoop Lion is out with his "Reincarnated" album | Movienight showing his documentary 'Reincarnated' with giveaways from Sony Music + afterparty in Oslo tuesday april 30th

In 2012 the "Gin & Juice" rapper Snoop Dogg announced his alias change to Snoop Lion. He said the change came of a wanting to fresh again as he converted to become a rastafarian and that his future music would be inspired by the culture, he even referred to himself as the reincarnation of Bob Marley.

The stunt made alot attention worldwide and Snoop even got in trouble and hospitalized after being beaten up by a gang of older rastafarians in Jamaica, which I personally "understand" but dont think is right at all cause noone can actually claim they know what he feels or dont feel in his heart and soul but himself and the God. However, the Major Lazer produced debut album of Snoop Lion is now out! "Reincarnated" features artists like Angela Hunte, Mr. Vegas, Mavado, Miley Cyrus, Jahdan Blakkamore, Collie Buddz, Popcaan and Drake. He has also made a movie with the same title as album "Reincarnated" about his travels to Jamaica blending himself in Rastafarian culture and which covers his work and production on his first reggaerecord..

Ishawna - Murderer Official Video Lyrics and Download

Murderer is a tune by Downsound recording artist Ishawna from Jamaica. The newly released video tells a good story and Ishawna puts focus on a theme not so often sung about in serious matters. Although this video has a 'happy ending', violence and fighting does occur in some releationships and is something that should be acted upon - as Ishawna sings "Its such a shame and Im leaving, mi a girl who tek no bwoy beating, so sure mi nuh love you no more, when did this yah love turn war".
[Catch full lyrics below video]

Her manager, Joe Bogdonovich from Downsound Records can tell that they are very pleased about the way things are going with the video which hva got a lot of positive feedback, and he is also suggesting this will take Ishawna's career to a new level.

She is currently busy in the studios working on a number of soon-to-be released projects.

(Verse 1)
It’s such a shame an am leaving
Mi a girl weh no take bwoy beating
So sure mi no love you no more

Before you put yo lips to mi lips
You put yo fist to mi lips
Hips to mi hips yo come a offer mi kicks
Like mi a blood and you a cribs
Relationship turn into a battleship
And you a just a murderer

(Chorus)
We just killed our love
You just kill my heart
You just kill my dream
You kill the part of me
We just killed our love
You just kill my heart
You just kill my dream
And now it all appeal

(Verse 2)
Mi did rate you more than anybody else
I give you more than I gave my self
But you couldn’t hear my heart crying out for help
You were too busy pleasing every body else
God knows I’ve tried
And God knows I cried
Now am singing this song in the memory of our love that die
Guess who’s a

Smile Jamaica Official video from Chronixx (JAM) | Dont miss out on his concert in Denmark april 14th!!!

Chronixx, one of the quite new artists from Jamaica that has taken the reggae people by storm with his beautiful voice, conscious lyrics and great spirit will be live in Denmark, Copenhagen sunday the 14th april - a concert not to miss and a concert that really should attract travelers from all of Scandinavia to see!

He is ranked #1 on reggaeplaylists around the globe and despite he bussed internationally just last year, almost all of his songs have become great hits. For example the big big tune They Dont Know that we posted last summer, Here Comes Trouble, Behind Curtain, Warrior, Most I and the newest Smile Jamaica that you can catch below.

Chronixx is only 20 years old but that makes me admire his ability with priorities and lyrics even more, cause most artists coming out of Jamaica these days sings about war, gunshot, pumpum and demons - but Chronixx keeps it real with a rastafarian message about love, society, justice, signs, politricks and oneness, and has become among the new favorites of many reggaelovers including myself. THIS is what reggae is about, and what made me fall in love with reggae when I first did. Todays dancehall is nice and cool but nothing I can place my values in. Much respect to Sky Juice Promotion who have booked him to Scandinavia with full band - BE THERE! More info www.skyjuice.dk
(Also just booked to Sweden april 12th, more info here)

Pharfar's solo debut "La Mig Rulle Dig" Official Video!

Pharfar, a danish reggae veteran known from Bikstok Røgsystem and producer
for Natasja(RIP), Wafande, Shaka Loveless and Little Kaka, and also earlier one of the regular DJs at Rubadub Sundays out with a tune called "La Mig Rulle Dig" (Let me roll you)(lol) released last week.

Although this is not exactly dancehall or reggae, its worth posting. Its Pharfar's solo debut after many many years in the musicgame, and with loco lyrics like this plus the respect we already have for Pharfar I wish his solo career all the best and all the attention it can get!

In an interview with Gaffa he says that since so many in denmark are making dancehall these days he wanted to do something completely new and make this 'electronic dancehall' that
noone has experimented with yet. He can also tell that there will come an EP from his solo project and that Bikstok Røgsystem is working on a new album - exciting and interesting time to come!
Stay updated on Pharfar here.

And am in love with yuh like wow

{Verse 1}

Wine baby like seh yuh giving mi a boy baby
