Reggae & Dancehall Artists Come Together To Say Happy Anniversary Jamaica



Maria Jackson, the CEO and owner of MJE recently invited several artists to be a part of the Anniversary Riddim, which is a seven track rhythm driven project focused entirely on celebrating the beautiful island of Jamaica in this our 50th year of independence. Artists featured on the Anniversary Riddim are Mikey General, Bunny General, Rasta Bogle, Asante Amen, Karamanti, Deadly, Jennifer Barrett and the entire Frenz For Real team. Over melodies and rhymes each artist expressed their love for their country as well as their thoughts on reaching this milestone. The general consensus among the artists is that despite having several internal problems to iron out, Jamaica is still one of the best place to live and/or visit.

Persons can listen to a wonderful nine minutes mix of all the songs on the Anniversary Riddim here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Z1pPMcbNJs and purchase their favorite song or the entire compilation here: http://itunes.apple.com/album/anniversary-riddim/id549539332

In addition to the album, MJE with the assistance of My Jamaican Zone, Mikhail “Tinman” Williams and Pelpa Time of Grove Productions, created a one hour documentary which has each artist speaking on various issues ranging from the current state of the music industry to the beauty of Jamaica. It will be aired simultaneously on www.myjamazon.com, www.mjent.net, www.youtube.com/swagtvja and Swag TV (Oliver Electronics cable, channel 59, Portmore) on Monday, August 6th (Jamaica’s Independence Day). After the initial streaming on the aforementioned channels, persons can visit www.mjent.net for additional schedules on other local channels across the island.

On behalf of everyone at Maria Jackson Entertainment and all the artists, producer and engineers affiliated with this project, we would like to wish all Jamaicans at home and abroad a happy Independence Day when it comes.
