“DJ Pauze aka Gav Pauze says... Another fantastic Roots Reggae single from Goldcup Records & Ambassa. Crisp clear vocals on a driving, rotts reggae riddim. The Combination of Ras Ijah's and Qshan Deya fit perfectly together as they are directly opposite in the scale. The lyrical content is upliting, positive and inspiring. If this is the sample of Ras Ijah's upcoming Album then I have higly expetations of what is to come and look forward to hear more simply because this signle is flawless to my ears, love it. Ras Ijah, Qshan Deya and Ambassa are all on top form and the message in the music penetrates into the mind. The mix-down on this single has been done exactly right, giving the overall product a sweet, strengthening feel. real roots reggae at its best. Quality works, great to hear good reggaemusic like this.”

“Abbiamo realizzato un’intervista anomala ma nel contempo parecchio interessante. Abbiamo infatti voluto intervistare due facce della realtà musicale che spesso non si incontrano o sono in contrasto ma che invece in questo caso sono legati da un legame indissolubile. Label e artista/producer che collaborano gomito a gomito e sono connessi da una profonda amicizia. Ecco a voi il duo Matt di GoldCup Records e Ambassa. Cominciamo con Matt…”

“Let’s go back again. Today we’re going to take a look back at yet another album which I do not think received anywhere even near the amount of attention that it deserved in its time, but we can definitely get it going again. Back in 2011 an album which I had, technically, been waiting on at that point for two or three years or so arrived from an outstanding chanter from out of The Bahamas by the name of Jah Nyne(..) Jah Nyne made a brand of BEAUTIFUL Roots Reggae which made me and many others high on his actual and potential talents. No one made greater usage of those talents and got more out of the artist than Italian imprint, Goldcup Records, who would bring some of his biggest pieces to fruition prior to and including his album. Traveling back we look back at an extremely impressive debut set and REWIND! “Holdin A Vibe” by Jah Nyne.”

“Goldcup Records from out of Italy is also back in September with their own new riddim, the So Precious. Checking in at just six tunes, this piece does manage to grab attention via some of the names appearing as well as due to the fact that it's another sterling creation on this list. You might know this track from its title piece which features Anthony B alongside Piero Dread and reached earlier this year. Joining that duo is a nice group which includes Jah Nyne, of course, Ras Ijah and even South African star, Black Dillinger.”

“The first 2013 release for the label,Lola is a Roots Reggae Riddim with heavy drums, singing bassline and dubwise horn selection. The Album includes some amongs Goldcup’s favourite artists, as Ras Ijah - nominated for Best Reggae Indie Awards 2013 – in combination with Khari Kill on the powerful “Pharoah Judgment”, TrÈson outta Canada with the sweet and soulful title track “Lola” alongside other upcoming and renowned Jamaican sensations as Messenjah Selah, G Mac, Oba Simba, Elly Speshal, Hyarte, Cymbal, Sabo Khani – international singers The Lambsbread, Dainjamental,I, Ras Konfidence, Faianatur and Italian rising star PieroDread. A breathe of fresh, international air from the heart of reggae: international riddim maker Ambassa, whose sounds have been pleasing the ears of Rototom Sunsplash’s Tv as main theme for two years in a row has now moved his vibes and melodies to London, and started a brand new blazing collaboration with Goldcup Records.”

“And now finally coming soon this week (I mean it this time) (kind of), is an artist who I know almost absolutely nothing about, PieroDread, who is bringing forth a new single whose background DEMANDS that you pay it some type of significant attention, 'Leave You No More'. First of all, if you look at the cover of this tune, you'll notice five different logos. The most crucial of them are the first and the third. Firstly is the always solid Goldcup Records (who thrilled last year with Jah Nyne's big album "Holdin A Vybe"), who is the official label on the project. Of course that means that PieroDread was likely from Italy, like Goldcup, and he is. The other label of immediate interest is Achis Reggae favourite Oneness Records (...)”

“Milan, Italy PieroDread, Italian and European reggae artist debuts in 2012 with “So Precious”. A single loaded with timely issues, the tune is in combination with international singjay Anthony B. The sound is warm and draws from the beloved atmospheric roots of Jamaica's golden years. The music flows nicely. The lyrics, which are inspired by the scenes of the revolution in north Africa, are put in the foreground, warning of the political/social scene that will influence Europe in the coming years.(...)”

“Il musicista italiano Ambassa (attualmente residente a Londra) ha prodotto per la perugina Gold Cup questo puro ritmo reggae che con il suo ampio respiro e la sua godibilità ci riporta indietro del tempo quando uscivano belle tune a ruota di personaggi come Luciano, Tony Rebel, Garnett Silk, Cocoa Tea e altri campioni di questa caratura. L’atmosfera è solare, il ritmo incisivo ma non troppo veloce sorretto da un bel ‘bubbling’ di tastiere e dal levare della chitarra e l’arrangiamento ha ottimi suoni di fiati. Tra i sei cuts disponibili tutti di promettenti young artists ...”

“Goldcup Records from out of Italy are up next and they're delivering their own first set of the new year (I THINK), the very HEAVY Lola Riddim. Goldcup is definitely one of the most dependable imprints going today and when it comes to their actual releases, you don't really have to concern yourself much with the quality of their work - it is almost always going to be top notch. The Lola is absolutely no exception and once again the label strings together a very strong and interesting group of vocalists. This time around highlighting the roster of artists on the Lola Riddim are the likes of the aforementioned Messenjah Selah, Ras Ijah & Khari Kill, Piero Dread, Oba Simba, Kaya from the Lambsbread and others.”

“Quando si parla di Piero Dread Comite si parla di raggae. Non solo per i lunghi dread o la camminata di chi è abituato a seguire il sound della black music ma soprattutto per la voce che sembra arrivare dalla lontana Jamaica. In realtà Piero è nato a Torino, vive a Milano e il raggae gli è entrato nel sangue all’età di 12 anni, «Un giorno mi sono trovato tra le mani una copertina che ritraeva Bob Marley, mi sono chiesto cosa poteva raccontare uno con una faccia così e ho comprato un suo disco.

C’est au son du Roots Reggae music que de nombreux artistes se mettent en scène, superbe release signé Ambassa ! ... En ce moment, les Italiens en ont plein la botte et ce n’est pas pour nous déplaire nous à Culture Dub !

“Treson e Khago sono due tra i maggiori giovani talenti della scena giamaicana attuale e qui collaborano insieme per la terza volta dopo ‘Mama don’t cry’ e ‘Light it up’ in questo singolo prodotto da Kos Dillon per la sua Pha real Entertainment ma pubblicato attraverso i suoi canali dall’ottima label perugina Gold Cup. Il più affermato dei due è sicuramente Khago già arrivato un paio di volte in vetta alla classifica dei singoli e nominato quest’anno in Inghilterra al MOBO Award per miglior artista reggae, premio vinto come sappiamo dal nostro Alborosie. Si tratta di un coinvolgente brano nyabinghi, una canzone devozionale con i due giovani a cantare le lodi di Jah con grande energia e gioia intrecciando suggestivamente le loro voci: Treson fornisce una melodia più convenzionale mentre il sing-jay style di Khago che osa un po’ di più.”

A quick video/interview where Addis explains how he felt the vibe on the “Lola Riddim” : ” Most times with a riddim as this the moment is hard to express. That’s how the song is like. You never know what what means sometimes, and that’s the song. The reaction is just like the reaction to the rain and the sunshine, it’s just a joyful feeling and the most I expression. It’s just I-ration, y’know Beautiful clouds and sound being Nice melodies”. Lola Melodica, distributed by Believe Digital, is now available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, Deezer.

“Con fortune più o meno alterne e dividendosi equamente tra sonorità dancehall e reggae, Jah Nyne è da oltre 5 anni presente sulla scena mondiale, non senza qualche successo di rilievo. Sean Rolle (vero nome dell’artista) viene dalle Bahamas e fa parte del crescente movimento reggae, che sta nascendo in questa altra perla dei Caraibi, nota per essere soprattutto rifugio dei personaggi famosi in tutto il mondo. Influenzato dal padre, che è chitarrista in una band, il giovane vive sin da subito la musica e il suo processo creativo. E’ il 1998 quando sale per la prima volta sul palco, realizzando appieno cosa vuole fare nella vita. “E’ sua Maestà Imperiale Haile Selassie che mi ispira e che mi spinge a cantare musica di redenzione per la gente. Inoltre mi insegna come vivere una vita di integrità, fede e coraggio” – dice Jah Nyne in una delle sue prime interviste.”

“... Someone who I'm now going to add to that list of venerable names is an artist who, hopefully, isn't completely unknown to you at this point, the wicked singing chanter from out of the Bahamas, Jah Nyne! Longtime readers of this blog are probably well familiar with Nyne because his was actually one of the very first features we did for a particular artist (he was actually fourth) and fittingly so - I've been very keen on the artist for years now and to watch his career (and his abilities) develop over that same time has been damn interesting. What really first struck me about Jah Nyne's music is something ...”
Achis - 'Show Me': A Review of "Holdin A Vibe" by Jah Nyne

“Born Sean Rolle on the Island of Grand Bahama, Jah Nyne grew up in the community of Hawksbill. Jah Nyne grew up around music, first being influenced by his father, who was the lead guitarist and vocalist in a band called the Intruders, which played Blues and Soul music at night clubs and parties throughout the island. As a child Jah Nyne would sometimes sing songs while his father played the guitar. In the late 70’s to early 80’s Reggae Music had taken the Bahamas by storm in the lights of Bob Marley and The Wailers and Reggae became a major influence among the youths. As a teenager, Jah Nyne and his friends would string up a D.J. set and one by one they would take turns singing and D.J.’ing on the weekends. At times they would also record their sessions with a camcorder as they performed. Through the passage of time, Jah Nyne nurtured his talent and developed his art as he prepared to introduce himself as he prepared to introduce himself as an artist ...”

The album, FINALLY, comes via the same Italy based Goldcup Records for whom the artist has done quite a bit of work and I'm definitely WAITING ("for my babeeeeee", biggup Ce'Cile) to dig my paws into this one.

“The hot new single “Jah seh” comes from two of Jamaica most promising young reggae acts. Singer, song-writer and instrumentalist Treson joined forces with breakout artiste Khago for a powerful message in their latest collaboration. This is the third time that the two have worked together, their previous tracks being “Mama Don’t Cry” and “Light It Up”.”
Tréson & Khago - Jah Seh

“GoldCup e Pha Real Entertainment presentano due delle più promottenti voci di Giamaica in Jah Seh. Treson, con il suo approccio cantautorale, fa da controaltare alla potenza vocale di Khago, una delle recenti star della dancehall giamaicane.Il pezzo è un trascinante Nyabinghi di cui vi postiamo un assaggio. La traccia è reperibile su Itunes, Amazon, Juno e tutti gli altri canali di diffusione musicale.”

“Italian- based label and production house Goldcup Records have kicked off 2010 with the 'Mirror' Riddim. 'Mirror' is a driving, modern-roots riddim that truly highlights the talent of the production team ... They have created a top quality riddim which has attracted some of reggae's finest international talent. Bahamian born and raised Jah Nyne's How Do You Feel is pure magic as he asks hard questions of those that kill without conscience (...) With the 'Mirror' riddim, Goldcup Records has signaled their intent to hang with the heavyweights of modern-roots reggae. Big tings a gwan fe Goldcup!”
