The Lambsbread & Mykal Rose: Nah Stop Chant Single Review by Mr Topple for Pauzeradio.com. Hot off the heels of their recent hit Lockdown, The Lambsbread are back with another fresh cut.

Weslee London Love (P2J & Stonebwoy Remix), sees producer P2J take the remix helm. While the rudimental elements of the track have stayed the same (chord progressions, BPM and the main melody), P2J has given the song new life, in the form of an Afrobeats-meets-Soca reimagining – fitting of the guest artist, but

The track is a classic AfroDancehall arrangement – but

Kardi Tivali – London Bridge – Review

Somewhat less brooding than his previous tracks like Move The Bar and Struggling (with William Vybz), it’s no less affecting – just with a lighter touch across the instrumentation. It’s fresh, contemporary AfroDancehall. The percussion is the driving force, with the snare on that
