When it comes to unique sounding veteran artists Mikey General stands out from the pick, his individual sound and spiritual messages make him one to listen to.

Signs that Michael was a natural with a microphone and performing had started not long after this move, imitating songs on the radio and TV.

After producing the Unique Reggae Mix Show over the past 6 years, one thing I have noticed is that there is many great artists that go underrated. This has been and is the case for Jah Nyne. Hailing from Freeport, Bahamas Jah Nyne has been and is a regular feature in the radio shows since 2007. Better known for hits like “In The Name Of Jah” and “Spread Some Love” amongst many, Jah Nyne does not fail to deliver another action packed album that is known as “Holdin A Vibe” Right from the start this album shows a huge development

Bouncing from the success of the first few reviews I posted on Facebook I was even more excited when receiving Uwe Banton’s brand new Album “Mental War” and when asked for feedback I saw this as a great opportunity to write another album review and create an album review section on Pauzeradio.com.

Very few match MasSicker aka King Mas’s vocal skills and musical abilities. Right from the introduction “Call Di Doc”

This past few months have been a very productive time for many Reggae artists that I feature in the weekly radio show, so when I was sent a link to download Solo Banton’s new album “Higher Levels” I was excited. Solo’s previous album was very good and I was sure that this new album was going to be even better. The album starts with a huge tune called “Mi No Know” an upbeat tune with a deep lyrical message on a remake of the Baba Boom riddim. This song sets the vibes for the whole album. Keeping the classic Reggae

Perfect Giddimani is a regular and popular feature in the Unique Reggae Mix Show, since the show started in 2006. So when I was sent this new Album, Journey Of 1000 Miles, my expectations from this artist where already high and I knew that I was in for a musical treat. As I pressed play on the first song on the album, which is the title track “Journey Of 1000 Miles” I could tell that this album was going to be to the same top standards of the previous releases from Perfect.  My first opinion upon hearing the first song was
