The label has
been in existence for three years.
In a release to
the media, Angus explained what the label is bringing to the game.
‘We have been working on commercial music different
from the ordinary Jamaican label. We produce music that can be licensed and
sold commercially. Apart from music which we produce in house, we also
shoot music videos’, he said.
The label’s
first major project was deejay Charly Black’ Trelawny Citizen mix tape. Since then the label
has worked with major as well as up and coming acts including Darrio, Delus,
Ricky Blaze, Fahrenheit, Stacious, Dane Ray, reggae artiste Cali P, John Bling,
Fras Twins, Rikroot (brother of dancehall star Konshens), K Starr and Munga.

Current projects
include an album for dancer turned deejay John
Bling; online promotion for Charly
Black (whom Angus once managed); and a remix with reggae artiste Cali P. K Starr and Rikroot are
Angus’ latest charges on a management level.
The Bahamas bred
Angus who lived in Jamaica for a short time,
says the label has come a long way.
‘We have signed
overseas distribution for our projects, worked on mix tapes and done videos,
photo shoots, social media, publishing and online work. We offer a lot to the
industry and that’s’ what keeps us going’, said Angus.
‘I love Jamaican music. I paid my dues
here in New York City working with the best of the best. I’m trying to mix the
professional works with the reggae industry world as far as commercial worthy
music’, Angus noted.
