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.
