Chris Brown could be facing an arrest warrant, and it has nothing to do with a nightclub or a stage.

Shenseea isn’t giving much away, but she’s given enough. In a short Instagram post, the Jamaican star teased “GARDEN…🌺 on my project releasing NOV 6!”

Phyno is going back to October. The rapper has picked October 30, 2026 as the release date for his next album, Let That Sink In, which lands almost exactly two years after Full Time Job arrived on October 4, 2024.

Some songs just refuse to fade, and “Pon De Floor” is one of them. Seventeen years after it first rattled club speakers, the Major Lazer track featuring Vybz Kartel and Afrojack has officially been certified Silver in the United Kingdom.

Some songs refuse to leave the party, and Beenie Man’s Who Am I (Sim Simma) is clearly one of them.

The best dancehall songs of 2008 came out of a hard year. Oil prices and food shortages were squeezing every household in Jamaica, and police were shutting down street dances across Kingston.

J Tygga Ty is getting some love from Colombia. “Mi Love,” his collaboration with Charly Black on the Shining Star riddim, has reached No.

Reggae artiste Tilibop is beaming at the early response to his latest video, “Dem Nuh Ready” featuring Sizzla Kalonji.
