There’s parties and parades and then Tuesday hits and we are forced to face the reality that we are not living in an infinite Carnival.

Beenie Man, who plans to release a new album later this year, has just released some visuals for his latest track “Dweet Again” on the Mercury Riddim, produced by Chase Millz and Jah Snowcone.
