Reggae and Ghetto Music-Artist Review

Reggae music is one of many genres of choice for me. It’s just got that sort of “be happy” feeling. Now, I’ve never sat and listened to ghetto music before so I was a little scared about writing my review on this particular genre, but, I found that Urban Mystic is one of those bands that were worth a listen. I enjoyed both artists and believe that you will to.

Here’s some information on the up and coming reggae/ghetto artists:

About Jah Cure

Siccaturie Alcock, p/k/a Jah Cure, is the new “High Priest of Reggae.” From the age of three, music reverberated through his small frame and hypnotized the souls of all those who listened to his music. The new single “Mr. Jailer” featuring R&B beauty Phyllisia resounds with the passion that Jah Cure is known for and he will enlighten fans once again with his fifth full-length album The Universal Cure on April 14, 2009 in association with DangerZone Music Group, SoBe Entertainment and Universal Music Group/Fontana.

Born in Hanover, Jamaica on October 11, 1978, the young man with the voice of a canary snuck out of his bedroom window late at night to visit local dance halls and stage shows. At times, he also visited the annual Reggae Sunsplash in his community. At these shows he saw the great Reggae icons performing - Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Burning Spear, Beres Hammond, Marcia Griffith, Garnett Silk, Yami Bolo, Jacob Miller and Black Uhuru – and by the age of 11, he made the decision he wanted to become a part of that elite group.

Becoming a reggae star and an icon was his dream and his sole mission. Initially using the name “Little Melody,” Siccaturie began his musical onslaught on the public. He soon became the talk of Jamaica and was well on his way to success. His voice left an indelible impression in the streets, and at the age of 15, he moved to Kingston, where he met Capleton, Sizzla and Jah Mason. Little Melody was about to fulfill his dream.

Cure’s fifth full-length album The Universal Cure is his first album recorded since his release from prison. The project was scheduled for worldwide release back on April 14, 2009, and the single “Mr. Jailer” featuring SoBe labelmate Phyllisia is the first of many exciting collaborations for Jah Cure. The album contains appearances from various artists crossing the reggae, Hip Hop, Latin, and R&B genres.
