Cham’s “Stripper Pose” video looks like it had to be one of the funnest video shoots ever. Beautiful girls on a beach with big bass cabinets blasting dancehall—what’s not to like? His song “Lawless” video might be on the same Dave Kelly–produced riddim, but the visuals depict totally different situation. It’s a rudeboy tune after all, a block-by-block survey of which neighborhood in Kingston is the maddest and why. We’re talking black bandanas, high-speed chases, outwitting Babylon at every turn. Fasten your seatbelt.

Tarrus Riley is quickly becoming one of the more popular voices in Reggae. The folks at Large Up have recognized this as well, having collaborated on his new video “Shaka Zulu Pickney.” Check out the video and info below…
TOK’s Bay-C launched his Nyabinghi riddim this Sunday gone, providing an antidote to the cookie-cutter releases of the day. That’s doubly true during Black History Month, when something as grounded as a Nyabinghi riddim connects on a deep emotional level. Among the artists in the juggling is the late JOE, who tragically passed away from a brain aneurysm a few hours after performing his song “Rasta Chant” at the riddim release party. RIP, JOE – you definitely went out on a high note. Other artists on the compilation include TOK, Shane-O and the man called Singy-Singy: Tarrus Riley.
Never one to back down from a cultural theme Tarrus joined forces with Storm Saulter and New Caribbean Cinema for an epic video shoot. The video juxtaposes costumed ancestors with ordinary Jamaicans in everyday situations, resulting in some powerful images. This type of imagery is very rare in modern Jamaica, where roots reggae has long since been eclipsed by dancehall in informing the visual language of the day. It invites Jamaicans to explore and embrace their heritage in a very tangible way. The video premiered, not surprisingly, to thunderous applause at Kingston’s Studio 38 venue…maybe in part because it doesn’t seem too far fetched that Marcus Garvey or Shaka Zulu could actually be spotted somewhere down on Orange Street. So in the spirit of Black History Month and just because we love anything which uplifts and improves, we plugged the behind the scenes footage about the project and a pictorial as well….
