Kingston, Jamaica’s MC supergroup, The Council, has enlisted Reggae’s recent stars for its newly available fifth and final single from its album, Nothing Else Matters, scheduled for release on September 29. The new song, titled Misery, features longtime collaborators Koro Fyah, Kabaka Pyramid and Massy the Creator who join the crew for an epic, authentic fusion of boom bap Hip Hop and roots Reggae, laced with social commentary and messages of reparation and repatriation. 

Misery – produced by Inztinkz, like all other tracks on The Council’s album – features poignant and potent verses from Massy the Creator, The Sickest Drama, Kabaka Pyramid and Five Steez, with Koro Fyah delivering the hook, lambasting the system.

“This song is just another realm of what we have to offer on Nothing Else Matters, thematically and sonically,” says Inztinkz. “Compared to our last single, this is like a flipside.”

Starting with Council Arts in September 2015, The Council released a series of singles including The Final Countdown, Valhalla Doctrine (featuring Tha God Fahim), and the most recent one, Promised Land (featuring J Militia), in March of this year.

Nothing Else Matters will be finally released exclusively via Bandcamp on Friday, September 29, and will be rolled out across other digital outlets and in physical form during the following months.

The Council, which comprises Inztinkz, The Sickest Drama, Nomad Carlos and Five Steez, is Kingston’s champion team for the Hip Hop culture, maintaining a consistent presence in the city’s underground scene for over a decade as solo acts and organizers of Hip Hop events.

International Reggae Recording Singer, Songwriter and Producer Set to Release his new single “Affi Give Thanks”

“Exhilarating Reggae Royalty set to release his inspiriting first single off his new EP”

Kingston, Jamaica (June 05, 2020) - International Reggae Recording singer, songwriter and producer Azizzi Romeo returns with another hit single “Affi Give Thanks” fresh off his well-anticipated new EP Reggae Royalty. The instinctive and very deft singer/songwriter and producer is a testament of being a ‘Child of Music’. The new single is also produced by Azizzi Romeo, demonstrating his versatility and that he is a dexterous musical gem for reggae music, Reggae Royalty.  Azizzi Romeo the smooth flowing crooner tells the story of showing gratefulness no matter the situation one might be faced with. The mere fact that one is alive and able to see the sunshine should be more than enough to compel one to give thanks.

Azizzi Romeo paints the picture of the general Jamaican spirit, where struggles appear to be ever-present in the society yet the people remain in an Irie, mellow mood. That is because the culture of the home of Reggae is one that demonstrates gratitude in every aspect of life. This readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness, coupled with the innate ambition of the people to strive for greatness is why this track will resonate with the listeners.

The Reggae Royalty Azizzi Romeo stands alone, with a true mix of Reggae and Dancehall, the singer/songwriter and producer is truly in a league of his own. With a true synergy and harmony, his music has quality productions, lyrical content and excellent delivery.  Like an avalanche galloping down a mountainside is how Azizzi Romeo will be dropping music this year, and the release of an EP called Reggae Royalty. In the meantime, listen, enjoy and share his brand new “Affi Give Thanks”.
