For Immediate Release: Jan 21, 2020 PROTOJE AND KOFFEE RALLY THEIR FRIENDS FOR A DECADENT NIGHT OUT ON NEW VIDEO FOR “SWITCH IT UP” https://smarturl.it/xSwitchItUp The Latest Single Off Protoje’s Fifth Album In Search Of Lost Time (In.Digg.Nation Collective/Six Course Music/RCA Records) From humble beginnings to climbing the ranks, two of Jamaica’s leading artists Protoje and Koffee celebrate their hard work and achievements on the lavish video for "Switch It Up." Watch it HERE: https://smarturl.it/xSwitchItUp. The Winta James-produced track is from the reggae titan Protoje’s latest album In Search Of Lost Time. The 20-year-old Grammy Award winning music phenom Koffee has made major strides since her 2018 breakthrough single "Toast," which shouts out Protoje in the song. Now, they come full circle on "Switch It Up" where everyone has a seat at the table including their musical and creative peers alike. The Xtreme Arts-directed visual features cameos from artists like Lila Iké, Sevana, Jaz Elise, Royal Blu and Jesse Royal. All, with the exception of the latter, contributed background vocals on the song. Jamaican contemporary Chronixx also lends his voice to the track’s chorus. The collective effort of “Switch It Up” encapsulates how Protoje is playing an important role in Jamaican music as a whole. In Spring 2020, he inked an unprecedented deal with RCA Records and Six Course for his label and artist management company In.Digg.Nation Collective, which houses some of the island's most promising acts including himself, Lila Iké, Sevana and Jaz Elise. The contingent is redefining what Jamaican music sounds like, a genre-infused palette while still holding true to the sounds of their native island. “Switch It Up” is an anthem for the new generation and an exciting glimpse of the innovation that lies ahead.

Lila Iké | Biography Lila Ike (Pronounced Lee-Lah Eye-Kay) Is on the Brink of Stardom. the 26-Year-Old Jamaican Songbird
Lila Iké | Biography Lila Ike (pronounced Lee-lah Eye-kay) is on the brink of stardom. The 26-year-old Jamaican songbird has an edge and ease in her voice that creates an immediate gravitational pull with her listener, fusing contemporary reggae with elements of soul, hip-hop and dancehall. The free-spirited, easy-going singer has already released a handful of velvety smooth songs through In.Digg.Nation Collective, a record label and talent pool for Jamaican creatives, founded by reggae star Protoje. The ExPerience will be Lila Iké’s debut EP for Six Course/RCA Records in a new partnership with In.Digg.Nation Collective. She breathes a delicate testimony of love, infatuation, and spiritual guidance in the 7-track release out this Spring. The EP is padded with previously-released songs such as “Where I’m Coming From” and “Second Chance.” Pivoting from the singles that earned her international acclaim in 2018 and 2019, Lila Iké unveils playful seduction on “I Spy,” her first release of 2020 produced by Izy Beats (the hitmaker behind Koffee’s “Toast”). Beckoning with innocent flirtation over soft guitar licks, Lila in a sweet falsetto sings, “I spy I spy, that you see something you might like. Won’t you come over if you really mean it.” The layers to Lila are in full bloom as she opens up about the daily pressures she faces through her interaction with people and wanting peace of mind in “Solitude” — . On “Stars Align,” Lila flips the instrumental from Protoje’s “Bout Noon” into an anthem about falling in love through the metaphor of making music.

Rastalogy in Tarrus Riley's “Love Created I”
Rastalogy in Tarrus Riley’s “Love Created I” Darren J. N. Middleton Texas Christian University f art is the engine that powers religion’s vehicle, then reggae music is the 740hp V12 underneath the hood of I the Rastafari. Not all reggae music advances this movement’s message, which may best be seen as an anticolonial theo-psychology of black somebodiness, but much reggae does, and this is because the Honorable Robert Nesta Marley OM, aka Tuff Gong, took the message as well as the medium and left the Rastafari’s track marks throughout the world.1 Scholars have been analyzing such impressions for years, certainly since the melanoma-ravaged Marley transitioned on May 11, 1981 at age 36. Marley was gone too soon.2 And although “such a man cannot be erased from the mind,” as Jamaican Prime Minister Edward Seaga said at Marley’s funeral, less sanguine critics left others thinking that Marley’s demise caused reggae music’s engine to cough, splutter, and then die.3 Commentators were somewhat justified in this initial assessment. In the two decades after Marley’s tragic death, for example, reggae music appeared to abandon its roots, taking on a more synthesized feel, leading to electronic subgenres such as 1 This is the basic thesis of Carolyn Cooper, editor, Global Reggae (Kingston, Jamaica: Canoe Press, 2012). In addition, see Kevin Macdonald’s recent biopic, Marley (Los Angeles, CA: Magonlia Home Entertainment, 2012).

The use of ganja in Jamaica is still illegal, and its possession is criminal, therefore it is largely used outside of the public eye. No doubt this has contributed to its mystique and appeal. In Jamaica, the use of ganja has primarily been associated with the Rastafari brethren. These days however, lots have changed. Much of Jamaica’s international renown is due to its seeming- ly very integral role in counter cultural movements.
