With many of his biggest hits being one drop reggae (“Heaven In Her Eyes,” “Longtime,” “Thanks & Praise”), it’s easy to think of Gappy Ranks as a singer rather than a bashment artist. His two latest singles stop you in your tracks though: “Good Fuck” on Ward 21’s incredible “Monkey Barrel” riddim, and “Money Out Deh” on Wundah’s upcoming “Glory” riddim.

Mr Williamz is keeping as busy as ever, going international in his collaborations: “Musically Mad” with Mungo’s Hi Fi out of Scotland and “We Can’t Give Up” with Gambia’s Mandinka Warrior. Williamz’s stance, skanks and swagger in this video are as impeccable as his foundation flow:
Londoner Fresharda just dropped an EP available as a free download from Deja Vu FM. The standout track is “Cycle,” a conscious one drop featuring Fresharda’s distinctive voice and a memorable hook that is reluctant to leave your head. And superproducer Curtis Lynch takes us back to the 80s with his retro lovers’ rock riddim “Ohh Baby” with vocals from Maxi Priest, Shola Ama, Lea-Anna and more.
