The Big Ship Captain Freddie McGregor entered 2016 at the top of the New York and South Florida Chart with his latest single “What You Gonna Do.” The track is on heavy rotation in the UK and is also featured on VP Records latest Strictly the Best Album. Produced by Freddie McGregor, Dalton Browne and Lloyd Campbell for Big Ship Music Inc., the album – “True To My Roots” will be released in Japan in May followed by official releases in Europe and North America.
McGregor shares that as a forerunner of the Jamaican music brand, he was inspired to show that good music is still being made in Jamaica and artists like him continue to engage with new and old audiences even in a far more competitive environment.
To support the album, Freddie will lead the Big Ship to Europe this summer at all the major festivals. Long time fans of Di Captain will not be disappointed and younger audiences will appreciate the authentic sweet rootsy sound from this class act.

Peter Broggs - You Got To Be Wise

Lyrics:

There is tension building inside me and I’m trusting my spirit to guide me
Even if no else understands I have got to do what it demands
My eyes and ears might deceive me and friends and family might leave me
But is righteous tension a brew so I must prepare for what I might have to do

Personally I don’t have a problem in the world
Quite solution oriented just a simple island girl
Passionate, compassionate practicing patience like a science
Endorsing love and unity promoting self reliance
Balancing emotions tempering my temperament
Maintaining my composure and learning when to vent
But as injustice and oppression grip the masses more and more
The constant pressure makes them numb but instead it makes me sure

There is tension building inside me and I’m trusting my spirit to guide me
Even if no else understands I have got to do what it demands
My eyes and ears might deceive me and friends and family might leave me
But is righteous tension a brew so I must prepare for what I might have to do

Misleaders use semantics, to manipulate us
Meaningless promises to keep us in a state of
Catatonic apprehension  empty hand up to the sky
The art of misdirection used to disguise the lie
Telling us decisions made are for our good, by those whom we elect
When in actuality they merely reflect
An ulterior agenda to make profit in their term
So the people only matter when those people help them earn

So there is tension building inside me and I’m trusting my spirit to guide me
Even if no else understands I have got to do what it demands
My eyes and ears might deceive me and friends and family might leave me
But is righteous tension a brew so I must prepare for what I might have to do

Imagine the morning you awake to find the soldiers on your street
Armored tanks on every boulevard and police on every beat
Choppers hovering but a stillness in the air
How will you be feeling? relieved? Or filled with fear?
Then the radio announces that the leader’s going to speak
Adrenaline explodes as your attention starts to peak
He says “you may already notice all the plans for your protection”
They’ve been put in place to neutralize potential insurrection
But have no fear the force is here with tear gas, bombs and guns
So no undesirables can compromise the flow of funds
Tell me where will you be standing what will you plan to do?
When you realize the enemy is you!

Which side of the law are you on? are you with the masses or are you the protected one? 
What side of the law holds your place? Do they defend you or can they stick that gun in your face?
Tell me where does your allegiance lie? Does the struggle entertain you or does it make you cry?
Is it clear where your conscience resides? One day you may have to deside

That’s why there is tension building inside me and I’m trusting my spirit to guide me
Even if no else understands I have got to do what it demands
My eyes and ears might deceive me and friends and family might leave me
But is righteous tension a brew so I must prepare for what I might have to do


Jah9 releases her 'Tension'

KINGSTON, JAMAICA - It has been three months since she proclaimed a New Name, an album widely embraced by fans and critics alike. Now the jazz-on-dub artist, Jah9, is releasing a new song, 'Tension.'

The politically-charged track is being presented to her fans on May 23, the third anniversary of what the singer calls the "Tivoli Garden Holocaust." That date will also be her birthday. Recently she recalled her whereabouts on that fateful day in 2010, evoking the scene from her vantage point at Gabre Selassie's Kingston Dub Club. 

"Standing in the hills looking down on T.G., burning," she began. "Sizzla's voice echoed through the big speakers, chanting appropriately for the ghetto youths." With the mood thus set, she described her own emotion. "And I wept bitterly as the current moved through I womb. Watching helplessly in disbelief and despair as the nation turned in on itself..."

Then, after a solemn pause, she punctuated her statement, "...on I earthstrong."

These contributing factors inspired the message and delivery of 'Tension,' as Jah9 had finished penning the lyrics for the song before the violence quelled days later.

The work is produced in collaboration with I Grade Records and is part of the album, Songbird Riddim - the first installment of a riddim series by the production collective known as Zion I Kings. The album is officially available via digital and physical outlets including iTunes, VP Reggae Distribution and Ernie B's Reggae Distribution.

"I discovered Jah9's music online and was immediately struck by her powerful word sound and unique melodies, particularly on the track 'New Name,'" said Laurent 'Tippy I' Alfred, producer, founder and CEO for I Grade Records. "'Tension' is the most intense song on the Songbird Riddim album, and it captures emotions and energies that you don't often find in music. Hearing about the inspiration behind the song made me appreciate her art even more."

I Grade Records, based in St. Croix, USVI, has released twenty-six albums since its founding in 2001, including nine albums with the groundbreaking deep roots band, Midnite, as well as several notable debut albums by artists such as Dezarie and Niyorah.
