New York, New York — Lady Da Flame is heating up playlists worldwide with the release of her latest single, "Summer," now available on all major digital streaming platforms.

Produced by Rawborn Productions, the high-energy release blends Dancehall with island and reggaeton influences, powered by pulsating drums, booming bass lines and an irresistible groove that captures the spirit of the season. Designed for beach parties, festivals, road trips and unforgettable nights, "Summer" delivers the carefree excitement of sunshine, fast cars and island celebrations.

"My inspiration for the track was simple—we wanted a new fun song for the season, which is summer," says Lady Da Flame. "I want fans to enjoy it and have fun. I think people will relate to the song and also enjoy the sick beat it's on." She adds, "Summer songs are important because they capture the mood and the vibes of the season."

Lady Da Flame describes the record as having "a Dancehall feel with island and reggaeton vibes that all stem from Dancehall." She believes its driving percussion and infectious bass lines are guaranteed to get people moving. Listening to the track, she says, evokes the excitement of blockbuster action films, filled with fast cars, endless sunshine, parties and adventurous island living.

The release follows an exceptional run that has elevated Lady Da Flame's profile across the Reggae and Dancehall landscape. This spring, she captivated thousands during a memorable Mother's Day concert at UBS Arena, sharing the stage with Beres Hammond, Stephanie Mills and Romain Virgo. The standout performance further showcased her commanding stage presence while introducing her artistry to an even broader audience.

Around the same time, Lady Da Flame paid tribute to mothers everywhere with the heartfelt single "Mama," a moving release that resonated deeply with fans and reflected her versatility as both a vocalist and songwriter.

Lady Da Flame continued her upward trajectory with The Journey, a spiritually grounded EP produced by Rawborn Productions. Featuring "All Praises To The Most High," "More Dan Prayer," and "No One Like You (Remake)," a heartfelt collaboration with Sanchez, the project reflects her personal growth and spiritual walk while uplifting listeners with messages of faith, perseverance and hope.

The period also saw the release of the empowering single "Mi Believe Inna Mi" and "Ropeen," a smooth Lovers Rock collaboration with Richie Stephens. An extensive media campaign surrounding The Journey, highlighted by an appearance on Jamaica's popular television entertainment program On Stage, expanded Lady Da Flame's reach and reinforced her status as one of Reggae's rising female voices.

Now, with "Summer" available worldwide, Lady Da Flame shifts from reflection to celebration, inviting listeners to embrace the freedom, excitement and joy that define the season.

Whether blasting through speakers at a beach party, setting the tone for a summer road trip or filling dance floors across the globe, "Summer" delivers the soundtrack for making unforgettable memories. The infectious single showcases yet another side of Lady Da Flame's artistry, proving she can seamlessly move from inspirational and heartfelt recordings to vibrant, feel-good anthems without losing the authenticity that has become her trademark.

Already garnering strong support among DJs, tastemakers and playlist curators, "Summer" is quickly emerging as one of the season's hottest releases. Its infectious energy, crossover appeal and feel-good vibe have made it an early favorite for radio, clubs, festivals and curated streaming playlists, positioning the single to become a staple throughout the summer months.

A ‘Perfect’ combination: Anthony “ASG” Grant teams up with Guxxie Music on upcoming single

2026-07-11T10:37:41.973+03:00

US-based Jamaican reggae and dancehall artist Anthony “ASG” Grant is gearing up for his new single ‘Perfect’, his follow-up to his 2025 hit single ‘Stronger’. Set for release on July 10th, the track is a dancehall song for Grant’s female fans.

Produced by Demone “Guxxie“ Gustavus for his Guxxie Music label alongside Grant’s ASG Records, ‘Perfect’ has all the right elements to captivate audiences worldwide. Though explicit in nature, Grant praises the fairer sex for their perfection as human beings without disrespecting or degrading them in any way, shape or form.

“The inspiration behind ‘Perfect’ came from the fact that I want to highlight the independent women out there,” Grant stated.

“In addition, I want to compliment each and every woman by letting them know how perfect they are regardless of their appearance. I also wanted to show my gratitude to the strong women out there,” he continued.

Guxxie, who is based in Kingston, Jamaica grew up with Grant in the same community and since 2016, has worked together as co-producers on several projects.

“Our first production was the Work Medz Riddim,” said Guxxie.

“We both produced several artists like Blak Ryno, Devin Di Dakta, Artik and Xyclone. ‘Perfect’ is the first official single together with Anthony “ASG” Grant as the artist.”

Grant expounded, “Guxxie and I both lived on the same street. The chemistry for the song was literally “perfect”. Once Guxxie heard the melody, he was ready to produce the track.”

“My expectations for ‘Perfect’ is that it will bring forth confidence amongst women worldwide. It will make women feel good about themselves and their achievements.”

KRANIUM EARNS SECOND RIAA GOLD CERTIFICATION AS A LEAD ARTIST WITH “WE CAN” FEAT. TORY LANEZ

2026-07-01T08:01:42.864+03:00

NEW YORK, N.Y. 2026. — With more than a billion global streams across his catalog and a decade of consistently bridging dancehall, reggae and R&B for international audiences, Kranium has reached another career-defining milestone.

The Jamaican hitmaker has earned his second RIAA Gold certification as a lead artist, as his global single “We Can” featuring Tory Lanez has been certified Gold in the United States.

The achievement makes Kranium one of the few contemporary dancehall artists to secure multiple RIAA Gold certifications as the lead artist on his own records. It also underscores his continued commercial impact in the U.S. market, where Caribbean music has long influenced mainstream culture but where lead dancehall records rarely achieve Gold certification.

Unlike certifications earned through guest appearances or supporting collaborations, both of Kranium’s U.S. Gold plaques recognize songs he led as the primary artist: “Nobody Has To Know” and “We Can.” The distinction highlights his ability to build an international audience around his own catalog while helping expand dancehall’s global commercial footprint.

“Coming from Jamaica, you dream about taking our music to every corner of the world, but you also carry the responsibility of representing the culture the right way,” Kranium said. “To receive a second RIAA Gold plaque as the lead artist means everything because these are records that started with my vision and my story. It’s a blessing to know that music from Jamaica can continue connecting with people everywhere.”

The new certification follows the success of “Nobody Has To Know,” the breakout single that introduced Kranium’s signature melodic blend of dancehall, reggae and R&B to audiences worldwide. The record previously earned RIAA Gold status in the United States and has continued to drive Kranium’s international momentum.

“This isn’t just my win. It’s a win for dancehall, for Jamaica and for every young artist who believes our music deserves to stand alongside any genre in the world,” Kranium said. “I’m grateful to the fans who have been rocking with me since day one because none of this happens without them.”

The latest milestone adds to one of the strongest international certifications resumes among contemporary dancehall artists, reflecting Kranium’s sustained commercial success across North America and the United Kingdom.

His certifications include:

· “Nobody Has To Know” — Gold, United States

· “Nobody Has To Know” — Platinum and Gold, Canada

· “We Can” — Gold, United States

· “We Can” — Platinum and Gold, Canada

· “Can’t Believe” — Gold, Canada

· “Nobody Has To Know” — Gold and Silver, United Kingdom

· “We Can” — Silver, United Kingdom

· “Gal Policy” — Silver, United Kingdom

The certification arrives during another exciting chapter in Kranium’s career as he continues releasing new music, expanding his international reach and further defining the modern sound of dancehall. With two RIAA Gold-certified lead singles, multiple Platinum, Gold and Silver certifications across three major music markets, and a catalog that continues to resonate globally, Kranium has firmly established himself as one of the most commercially successful Jamaican artists of his generation.

More than a decade after introducing the world to his distinctive melodic style, Kranium continues proving that consistency, authenticity and innovation can transcend borders. As Caribbean music enjoys unprecedented global recognition, his latest Gold certification serves as another reminder that Jamaican artists are not only shaping popular music, they are building lasting international legacies.
