Dennis Walks Returns with Revitalized Classic 'The Drifter

Veteran reggae artist Dennis Walks is set to make waves once again with the highly anticipated release of a fresh version of his timeless hit, "The Drifter" — a track that has left an indelible mark on reggae music since its original release in 1969. This latest rendition promises to captivate both loyal fans and new audiences with its modern yet soulful sound.

The new version features a stellar lineup of musicians, including the legendary Dean Fraser on horns, Lloyd Parks on guitar, Bubbler on keyboard, and Ershel on drums — Produced by Fabrizio Lagana, with a fresh and vibrant sound arrangement. The track was recorded and engineered by Marvyn Williams and will be released under Dennis Walks Records, his newly established independent label.

Dennis Walks, known for hits like "Margaret" and "Heart Don't Leap," has performed on major platforms such as Reggae Sunsplash and has shared stages with some of Jamaica's finest artists. Dennis Walks continues to captivate audiences worldwide with his timeless reggae music. In 2024, he graced the stage at major events like the Jamaica Day Reggae Festival in Maryland, USA, alongside prominent artists like Richie Stephens and Junior Demus. 

He also delivered an electrifying performance at the Rub A Dub Thursday event in Jamaica, further solidifying his legacy in the reggae scene. His notable appearance at Emancipation Park in Kingston during Bob Marley Day 2023 highlighted his ongoing connection with fans both locally and internationally. With a mix of classic hits and fresh performances, Dennis Walks remains a key figure in reggae music, continuing to make his mark on global stages.

Despite his impact on the reggae scene, Walks has faced challenges in receiving fair compensation for his music over the years. Now with his own label and the support of Orrett McDonald, Dennis Williams and The Reggae Foundation, the veteran artist is taking full control of his musical journey.

"This release is not just about the music," Walks expressed. "It's about reclaiming what is rightfully mine and giving the fans something special."

Fake MAGA Influencer Exposed, Kamala Harris’s Impact on 2024, and Isaac Hayes Estate Sues Trump

In a shocking turn of events, a fake MAGA Trump supporter from Wisconsin has been unmasked as nothing more than a digital fabrication, and now the Isaac Hayes estate is taking Donald Trump to court over unauthorized use of a classic song.

A self-proclaimed 32-year-old “MAGA Trump supporter” going by the name Luna has gained significant traction on X (formerly Twitter) since March, amassing nearly 30,000 followers. Luna's timeline is filled with pro-Trump rhetoric, conspiracy theories about Vice President Kamala Harris, and Republican talking points, all while engaging with followers she calls “patriots.”

But here’s the twist—Luna isn’t real. The photos used on the @Luna_2K24 account belong to Debbie Nederlof, a German fashion influencer who has no ties to the MAGA movement. When CNN reached out, Nederlof expressed her frustration and anger over her image being misused for political propaganda.

This digital deception raises concerns about the spread of misinformation in the run-up to the 2024 election, where Donald Trump is set to face off against Kamala Harris. In a race already marred by controversy, this latest revelation could have serious implications for the credibility of online political discourse.

But that’s not the only controversy surrounding Trump this week. The estate of the legendary soul singer Isaac Hayes is taking legal action against the former president. On August 23, a federal judge granted an emergency hearing after Trump’s campaign repeatedly used Hayes’ hit song “Hold On, I’m Coming” without authorization at multiple rallies. Isaac Hayes III, son of the late singer, announced the lawsuit on social media, vowing to protect his father's legacy.

For a deeper dive into these stories, watch our full video coverage here: Fake MAGA Influencer Exposed & Isaac Hayes Estate vs. Trump.

As we approach the 2024 election, the political landscape continues to heat up with scandals, lawsuits, and now, even digital imposters. Stay tuned to Djslick44 Music News for more updates on the biggest stories in politics and music.

Auraiya 'Chronicles of Love' Album 🎵 Available Now on All Platforms" – 9 Tracks of Musical Therapy! A must-have for your playlist.

In a captivating blend of healing expertise and melodic mastery, Dr. Gayan Smith, also known as Auraiya, emerges as a dual force, seamlessly navigating the realms of medicine and music. Beyond her role as a healthcare professional, Auraiya embarked on a musical journey, driven by her passion for crafting songs and melodies. Her pandemic debut, "This Must Be Love," served as the inaugural chapter in this newfound venture, showcasing that her talents extend far beyond the medical field.

As a rising star, Auraiya is currently promoting her debut album, "Chronicles of Love," a testament to her belief in the therapeutic essence of music—an art form that she describes as a soothing balm for the soul.

However, amidst the musical symphony, Auraiya's journey took a poignant turn during her time at the Savanna-la-Mar General Hospital in Westmoreland. It was there that she formed a profound bond with a nurse, a colleague dedicated to the relentless care of COVID-19 patients. This nurse, a compassionate soul providing oxygen and comfort to those in need, succumbed to the relentless grip of the virus. The loss of her coworker became a stark reminder of the fragility of life and the urgency to pursue one's passions.

Reflecting on this painful experience, Auraiya shared with THE STAR, "We developed a strong bond as we worked closely together. I later learned that she passed away and I was devastated. It was the time when persons were dying, and she was always there giving the patients oxygen and just caring for them, and then she got the virus and the oxygen had run out, and she passed away. It then dawned on me how short and precious life was, and that we should just go for what we want."

This personal tragedy has become a driving force for Auraiya, infusing her musical journey with a deeper sense of purpose.

As Auraiya sets the stage for her 9 track album, "Chronicles of Love," she strategically highlights her latest release—the cover of "All My Life." This dynamic collaboration with Jah Fabio infuses Spanish elements, resulting in a musical masterpiece that transcends geographical borders. Jah Fabio presence in Jamaica, facilitated by the Ministry of Culture, Gender, and Entertainment in collaboration with the Mexican government, signifies a commitment to fostering cultural exchange between Latin America and Jamaica, thereby enriching the reggae-india cultural connection.

Auraiya deliberate emphasis on the "All My Life" cover aligns with her objective of gradually introducing diverse elements of her musical repertoire. This strategic approach invites audiences to savor the cultural fusion before delving into the broader spectrum of her upcoming album.

Join Auraiya on this rhythmic odyssey, where healing hearts and bridging cultures converge in a mesmerizing symphony. Stay tuned for musical narratives that navigate the intricacies of love and relationships, resonating with the soulful vibrations of Jamaica and Latin America. And remember, "The Chronicles of Love" is not only a musical journey but a universal experience, available on all major streaming platforms.

Alicia Keys A Journey Through Music, Life, and Achievement

Alicia Keys, a name that resonates with soulful melodies and lyrics that touch the depths of the heart. She is not just a renowned musician but also a multifaceted artist, a philanthropist, and an inspiration to millions around the world. In this video, we will embark on a journey through Alicia Keys' life, her history, her present, and her remarkable achievements. 

 

Born Alicia Augello Cook on January 25, 1981, in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, Alicia Keys displayed an extraordinary talent for music from a very young age. She grew up in a family that encouraged artistic expression. Her mother, Terria Joseph, was a paralegal and part-time actress, while her father, Craig Cook, worked as a flight attendant. Keys' parents divorced when she was only two years old, but their love for music left an indelible mark on her.

At the tender age of seven, Alicia Keys began formal piano lessons, and it soon became apparent that she had an innate gift for the instrument. She was not just playing the piano; she was communicating through it. Her connection with the keys was profound, and her ability to convey complex emotions through music was extraordinary for someone of her age.

The Making of a Star Alicia Keys' exceptional musical talent was complemented by her academic excellence. She attended the Professional Performing Arts School in Manhattan, where she majored in choir. It was during her time at this school that she discovered her passion for singing and songwriting.

Her early musical influences were diverse, ranging from classical composers like Chopin to iconic artists like Nina Simone, Aretha Franklin, and Stevie Wonder. This eclectic blend of inspirations would later shape her unique style, blending elements of classical, soul, R&B, and hip-hop.

A pivotal moment in Alicia Keys' life came when she signed with Columbia Records at the age of 15. However, her time with the label proved challenging, as they tried to mold her into a conventional pop star, stifling her creative freedom. Frustrated by the constraints imposed upon her, she decided to part ways with Columbia.

"Songs in A Minor" and Breakthrough Alicia Keys' determination to create music on her terms led her to Arista Records, where she met her future manager, Jeff Robinson. Under Robinson's guidance, she embarked on a journey to produce her debut album, "Songs in A Minor." Released in 2001, this album catapulted her to stardom.

"Songs in A Minor" was a revelation. It showcased Alicia Keys' immense talent as a singer, songwriter, and pianist. The album's lead single, "Fallin'," became an instant hit and won her critical acclaim. Her soulful voice and heartfelt lyrics struck a chord with audiences worldwide.

Musical Evolution Alicia Keys' subsequent albums continued to demonstrate her artistic evolution. "The Diary of Alicia Keys" (2003) featured more mature and socially conscious themes, including songs like "If I Ain't Got You" and "My Boo" with Usher. This album further solidified her position as one of the most significant voices in R&B and soul music.

In 2007, she released "As I Am," which included hits like "No One" and "Like You'll Never See Me Again." These songs showcased her ability to craft emotionally charged ballads while also exploring contemporary R&B and pop sounds.

Alicia Keys' musical journey extended beyond solo work. She collaborated with numerous artists, including Jay-Z, on the chart-topping "Empire State of Mind" (2009). This anthem paid homage to her beloved New York City and became an instant classic.

A Renaissance Woman Alicia Keys is not confined to the world of music; she is a true Renaissance woman, excelling in multiple domains.

Toogosnay calling on his colleagues in the music industry to make more positive music.

 

"We live in a country where the crime rate is climbing daily, said Toogosnay in a recent interview a place where not even the elderly or the women and children are safe any more. Pedophiles are all over the place kidnapping little girls and sexually molesting them. Jamaica needs a spiritual healing, and I believe that every artiste in this country has a role to play in saving the country," he said.

He continued, "I'm calling on all of my colleagues in the music industry who are singing songs that are promoting violence and promiscuity, to turn a new page and start recording songs with positive messages. I know some people will say I sound simplistic, but the music has a great influence on the mind of the people. So, we need to make music that inspire them to do the right things."

Toogosnay is currently promoting two new singles, Forgein Exchange and Life Style. Both were produced by Natral Enterprise label and released on May 10.

"I'm pleased with the response that my new singles are receiving. I'm grateful for all the support that my music is getting from DJs all over the world. I also have to big up Natral Enterprise for seeing my talent and believing in me," said Toogosnay.

Toogosnay, whose given name is Michael Phillips, hails from Trench Town in Kingston. He launched his recording in 2014 with the release of a single titled Westbank Family, featuring D_Ballad - Pop Dat on the Rave Entertainment imprint.
