JAMAICA  - The latest project from the Blaza Music Group is set to light up the musical airwaves, unleashing new music from a number of local and overseas artists. With 20 original tracks, all mixed and mastered by producer Golden Kid, the album has already been creating a buzz since its recent release.

The compilation album is entitled Golden Kid the Riddim Assassin: Reggae Temple Volume 1 and is done in collaboration with Roots Life Records. Among the featured artistes include veteran reggae crooner, Fred Locks, Ghanaian reggae standout, Black I and Bahamian vocalist, Jah Hem. All three acts have been drawing attention to themselves and the singles they have on the album, introducing them in articles published in the local newspaper, The Jamaica Star.

Conscious and positive reggae music on various topics is thought to be less popular in Jamaica when compared to the more vibrant genre of dancehall music. However, it is felt that the caliber of music on offer from the new compilation could help generate renewed interest in the music discipline made popular by Bob Marley, Dennis Brown, John Holt and many other greats.

Feedback from the top brass at Blaza Music Group has expressed great optimism about many of the tracks on the album, such as “In My Bible” by Fred Locks. “In My Bible is very well written and the production is absolutely flawless. In addition, this single promotes Fred Locks' smooth vocals which at times remind me of the best of Dennis Brown,” said CEO of Blaza Music, Daffilous Thompson.

Bahamian singer, Jah Hem, also expressed great satisfaction with his compositions “First Time” and “Step Out Gal”, expecting them to be a hit with the masses. “My music is always positive and about the ladies,” he said.

The album is currently on sale and includes acts such as Ken Serious, Fragga Ranks, Stacia and Diamond, among others.
