Yow! Just been waiting to see when it would happen, as the tune just barely
missed the top spot in the past two months. Well it finally has, so MASSIVE
congrats out to Junior Gong for the FINE tune. Other than that things have been pretty steady out here, with Don Corleon's hardcore (JONKANOO) and roots riddims (DROP LEAF) still controlling the place. Same ole culprits too: TOK, Jah Cure, Beenie Boss, Sean Paul, plus a brand-spanking-new entry by Bling Dawg called "Aerobics Class".

On the new-tune-front, two riddims made their way into & up our charts this time around. First, the long-awaited APPLAUSE riddim has finally struck & made its initial impact, in the form of Shane-O, Sizzla & Sean Paul. Lightning-fast, clapping and simply ready to be mixed in with the current dancefloor smashers like JONKANOO, KOPA & COOLIE DANCE. Second, but completely different, Maximum Sound's FOWL FIGHT has landed in NM as well. The riddim does not follow current dancehall trends at all, yet reminds me of a throw-back to the years 2000 & 2001 when the Annex label was ruling the dancehalls with riddims like BUSHY BUSHY & SADDAM. 4 tracks made it from that project (Beenie Man, Bounty Killer, Baby G & Anthony B). Not bad. Speaking of Frenchie & Maximum Sound: the man has been quite busy lately; not only releasing FOWL FIGHT but building many of the tracks on Anthony B's EXCELLENT new album "Black Star". On top of that Frenchie has re-created the Viceroys classic YA HO and voiced many fine artists of the time (Richie Spice, Ras Shiloh, Jah Cure etc.).

Luciano's "Wash Wash" on Kenneth "Yahbreeze" Archibald's SKABREEZE riddim (reminiscent of the classic 007/SHANTYTOWN beat) hit the #17 spot and a few tracks on the HARD TIMES are still kickin up rumpus as well. Don Corleon just released his new roots riddim called SEASONS which sounds quite excellent and the TOK track on it is a worthy follow-up to their "Footprints" tune; trust me. Kiprich's "Telephone Ting" (a roots (!!!) track-dunno if I've ever heard Kiprich on a roots track before) is hot everywhere, as is the HARD DRUGS riddim. Also WICKED is Rocky Gibbs HAFFI GET A BEATEN, led by the ultimate combination of 2005: the legendary steppin razor Peter Tosh alongside the gargamel Buju Banton.

Nuff great new music out there people; so SUPPORT it!
