Police & Badboy is an audio Jamaican action movie packed into a song. The lyrical content is not fiction, though, but an everyday reality for many in Jamaica. Rising star Eesah gets straight to the point singing “Seh when you hear gunshot, is another man down. And when you hear the Don chat, just know ah him run the town”, alongside the lyrical anomaly Kabaka Pyramid starting with fierce lyrics like “Inna di, murda Capitol, dem nuh murda fi capital", the song is a reggae classic in the works.

KENYATTA HILL
A carreira de Kenyatta Colina começou o dia terminou de seu pai. Joseph Hill, cantor e compositor do lendário jamaicano Cultura trio vocal, desmaiou e morreu durante uma turnê da Europa de 2006.Para o espanto de promotores, fãs e críticos, Kenyatta pisou no palco e entregou performances eletrizantes. Isso era algo inédito em qualquer gênero de música a qualquer momento.Kenyatta deu tudo de si que os dois pareciam se tornar um, as vozes assustadoramente semelhantes e as vibrações inflamaram os críticos.
Na Williams Center Ranny em Kingston Jamaica no concerto memorial para seu pai, o desempenho de Kenyatta com Cultura foi o destaque de uma estrela da noite cravejada e lhe rendeu o apoio vibrante do público que é difícil de agradar em Kingston. Kenyatta passou a frente do Culture em uma série de performances em os EUA, Caribe, Brasil, Argentina e Peru, mais uma vez deixando o público surpreso e encantado.
Influenciado por elementos do dancehall, fundamentadas na tradição raízes e motivado para continuar o trabalho de seu pai, Kenyatta decidiu terminar as canções que Joseph tinha começado e criar novas músicas de sua autoria.Em sua estréia ilustre o single, "papai" (Tafari Records), apoiado por um elenco magistral de músicos, incluindo Sly Dunbar e Dean Fraser, e produzido por Lynford "Fatta" Marshall, ele enfrentou a dor emocional e incerteza que sentiu após a perda de seu pai.Ele chorou enquanto escrevia, assim como em shows na Europa choriu enquanto cantava.
O Cd foi lançado em 2007 para os fãs de longa data do grupo Culture e críticos que abraçaram o filho, nomeado para Jomo Kenyatta
De fato, culture com Kenyatta Colina continua a compartilhar a sabedoria de reggae consciente 
O Brasil pode4 esperar em 2014, Kenyatta Colina expande seus horizontes musicais além de suas raízes formidáveis.

Kenyatta Hill -  See Dem Ah Come

Un matin ordinaire, après la fin du monde.

Paroles:

Le monde dort, n’est plus qu’un décor,
Les feux passent au vert pour personne,
L’humanité n’est plus qu’un écho
Qui résonne.

Je commence ma journée par un café, fin du monde ou pas,
Les routines tiennent mieux que ce qu’il reste là-bas.
Dans un bar éventré, une machine encore neuve me regarde,
J’ai toujours eu ce truc, tomber sur ce qui marche quand tout se barre.

J’entre comme un cow-boy, coup de pied dans la porte, à moitié morte.
Elle lâche sans résistance, je continue, peu importe.
Je m’approche de la machine, comme si rien n’avait changé,
Même décor effondré, les gestes restent calés.
Le pétrole coule dans un gobelet trouvé sur place,
Double espresso robusto réveille ma carcasse.
Je jette une pièce sur le corps mort du caissier qui me fixe,
Ne me remercie pas, je te paye ta croisière sur le Styx.

Le cawa est fini, la journée peut commencer,
Y’a encore des heures à traverser,
Un nouveau décor à visiter.

À midi, je me dis qu’une banque ferait l’affaire,
Les portes sont ouvertes, y’a plus qu’à entrer se refaire.
Je salue les caméras, sourire sans tension,
Elles filment le braqueur le plus zen de sa génération.
Je sors avec un sac plein de billets bien rangés,
Personne pour crier,
Personne pour juger.

Je monte dans un immeuble fissuré jusqu’au ciel,
Les marches tiennent encore, c’est presque irréel.
L’après-midi s’étire à plier les biftons en avions,
Tâche répétitive, parfaite pour la méditation.
Je les lance par la fenêtre, loin vers l’horizon,
Des fortunes en papier cherchent leur destination.

Ils descendent en silence, élégants, disciplinés,
Simples victimes de la gravité.
Personne pour applaudir,
Personne pour ramasser,
Et ça me fait sourire sans colère ni moquerie:
Même quand le monde est mort, sans boutique ni maître,
Le dernier homme en vie...
Jette encore l’argent par la fenêtre.

Le sac est vide, mon esprit aussi,
Le vent passe, la journée se finit.
Je profite pour admirer les derniers rayons luire,
J’allume un cigare en laissant le soleil fuir.
Je reprends la route sans me presser,
Les pas font le taff, je les laisse gérer.
Y’a rien à finir, rien à refaire, juste à avancer,
Pendant que le monde se transforme, porté par des idées.

l’IA pour outil, la pensée pour guide

"I had a vision......When putting this project together I really wanted to focus on presenting myself to the world, not just as an Artist but Marla Brown herself.

I feel my whole being stems from love, faith (Most High) and unity, so it is truly important for me to communicate that through the music I create with these amazing artists and producers, so the connection can be made and received naturally between you and I, allowing yourselves to have an insight as to who I am and what I represent.

I also wanted this project to contain the ideas and concepts of life I feel needed integral attention - to liberate (others) and create a shared consciousness to encourage growth, empowerment and love (self and universal), thus the concept “Deliverance” being born.

Deliverance truly encapsulates my being, my arrival and most importantly allows me to give thanks for this life my parents and the Most High have continued to create for me, communicating my thoughts and feelings, my experiences and hopes for a greater conscious driven world.

Although Deliverance is my concept of my "coming" into the musical world, it is indeed one of my favourite songs off of my Dad’s album, titled "Visions" (Deliverance Will Come) which made everything just fall into place that this was my calling and my purpose being fulfilled just as my Dad had visioned. He always encouraged us to love, to smile and most importantly, to be at one with ourselves and our family.....I guess the time truly has come..."DELIVERANCE Has Come."

Lyric Video: https://youtu.be/D2R0lK2rxVU

True to the suave and eloquence displayed on his debut single, The Anthem, budding entertainer Evaflow has followed up his introduction to music with yet another powerful song. While his first was a militant expression of his plans and purpose, the sophomore track, Familiar Stranger, featuring Sara Lugo, produced by Diggy British (Protoje) and The DrumKeys, gives us a peek into his softer side. The romantic tune sees him spitting poetry in an endearing story of love and longing inspired by personal experiences.

Evaflow explains: “The term Familiar Stranger has many meanings, not all of them romantic. While it represents longing for someone a connection is yet to be made with, or may have already been made with, but is constantly tested by time and space, it also harkens to the creation of a goal that has not fully manifested in the physical, and an envisioning of a time when it actually does.” 

Evaflow, a self-proclaimed Skystarter, is a Santa Cruz, St Elizabeth, native with a knack for weaving words together in thought-provoking tunes. He has been steadily making waves on the Kingston creative scene since debuting his first track, The Anthem, earning praises for his charisma, excellent songwriting, dedication and readiness to take his career to the next level. He is excited about the release of his new single and sees it as a potential foot in the door onto the global stage.

Familiar Stranger is available now for streaming and purchase on all digital platforms as well as on Evaflow’s website, www.evaflowmusic.com.

Dem Man Deh

The mind of a child is at once fertile ground and a sea of possibilities. So much so, that natural inclinations and affinities in our formative years often leave clues to the person we’ll become. 

Such is the case with recording artiste/music producer, Evaflow, whose relationship with music began as a youth. In the 90’s, little Matthew Elliott was growing up in the bustling town of Santa Cruz, St. Elizabeth, in Jamaica, enchanted by stories woven into the musical works of Bob Marley and Michael Jackson— a fascination his father, an avid reggae, R & B/Soul vinyl collector, unwittingly sparked and nurtured.

Introduction to Sizzla and Vybz Kartel led to deeper exploration of the artform as a teen. He would rewrite the lyrics of popular songs (keeping the original melodies) much to the enjoyment of his peers, whose reactions pushed him to continue. 

He then penned his first original song, Run Dis, at age 14, which was a school hit and became “an obsessive songwriter” since. And yet, much like the river of feelings marking childhood to adulthood, the journey through reconnecting with his soul’s truest expression was initially quite challenging.

Naturally artistic, highly intelligent youths like himself often found themselves conflicted by and frustrated with the fervent disapproval of their loved ones who encouraged corporate settings as the ultimate goal or reward for their gifts, believing creative professions weren’t potentially lucrative or fulfilling.

After much internal conflict he learned to undo himself from others’ expectations and claim the happiness he sought pursuing his own dream. Meandering through these emotions and drawing on his inner strength became the springboard that launched the tenacious, resilient, unrestrained creative he is today. 

Evaflow sees the sky—a space that, for him, represents preparedness, great health and sound mind— not as the limit, but as limitless. For him, “the sky is the start” (his personal motto). This philosophy means “one must be able to fly, being in a place of consistent, purposeful action”. It even inspired the name of his multimedia company, SkyStarter Creative. 

The start-up is an umbrella for his artistic endeavours and an empowerment tool for young creatives who feel misunderstood and unsupported by the world around them as he once did. It represents a resolve that anyone can become more self-aware, take the reins of their lives and make a difference, instead of trying to fit into a model that doesn’t resonate with their core being.

Fuelled by The Source, and all things encompassed, and having honed his skills studying his early influences, along with the likes of J. Cole, Vybz Kartel, Joey Badass, Black Uhuru, Outkast, Pharrell & UGK, he, too, is a master lyricist, skillfully caressing and firing up any beat he connects with. 

As Jamaica’s music evolves, he plays an instrumental role in pushing the boundaries of traditional expectations and refers to his eclectic blend of Reggae, Hip-Hop & Dancehall as Hip-Hall or Dub-Hop, described as “Bob Marley meets Jay-Z with a splash of Lauryn Hill”.
