“Tasha Rozez proves she’s dangerous behind the turntables”
Tasha Rozez may look nice behind the turntables, but her sound crew GunznRozez can draw blood in any sound clash. When she isn’t battling other DJs, Rozez travels the world, bringing together dancehall and reggae lovers.
“I’m everywhere,” she says. “I go wherever someone calls me to go … but having an international sound is not something I chose.” (read more)
Rap City welcomes Tasha Rozez to the show on May 26 and aired at 11pm on Much Music, Canada’s premier music television channel.

I Grade Records is pleased to present Danny I’s new album, To Your Majesty, which finds I Grade going back to its Virgin Islands roots – spreading musical ises and healing – while reaching out to Latin America as well. Danny I, who was raised St Croix, USVI, leads the way deep into the fiber of contemporary reggae and rastafarian culture. Danny I has traveled the world, seen war and strife between nations as well as on the streets of his island hometown. To Your Majesty is his response.
To Your Majesty takes “full advantage of the wide scale of abilities from the gifted vocalist.”

Drawing from a wide range of tropical riddims and urban electro, the power of Montréal-based DJ/producer Poirier’s bass blasts through any flimsy attempt to classify his music. Pinpointing the bits and pieces of dancehall beats, soca energy and electronic intensity is futile in the face of Poirier’s dance-driven creativity and air horn-worthy excitement. Signed to Ninja Tune, this is a man who just understands what works in the dance.
.DUBMATIX
Nominated for Reggae Recording of the Year
For the album: System Shakedown (Renegade Media)
