The new “3 Wayz Riddim” from ZiggyBlacks Productions featuring artists from the Caribbean, Europe and Africa is making noise worldwide. The new compilation has been getting great reviews. The idea of the producer, ZiggyBlacks, his aim was to gather artist from all parts of the world – that are involved with reggae and dancehall music on a regional level, yet are not being highlighted in the international scene. Artist such as Aska Lyrical and Likle Mystic are Panamanian stars whose music is being aired throughout Latin America on a daily basis penetrating the minds of the Latino dancehall, reggae and reggaeton fans alike. Jerry Julian the well-known Marseille reggae French artist. Timmi Burrell is also known throughout Jamaica and the Caribbean. ZiggyBlacks Productions has been working tirelessly over the years with artist throughout Latin America, Europe, the Caribbean and Africa – from production to promotion and management – the company has well rounded with experience in maintaining a presence on the world’s music scene.

All tracks on the final released compilation were mixed and mastered by New Sound Records and Macles Music Factory.

An amazing lineup of artist consisting of Aska Lyrical, Likle Mystic, Tmar, IVoltage, Jerry Julian, Musaby, Timmi Burrell, New Trik, Promise No Promises and Papa Zal … will encourage djs, clubs and sound systems to focus on this new sound entering into the dancehall. “New Trik” – the 16 year old sensation featured in this line up has been setting a pace of his own, with his clean and consistent lyrical content, promoting positive values and attitudes amongst teenagers of the day. His catchy style of lyrics is sure to appeal to the young dancehall enthusiast of today. New Trik is also the son of the producer ZiggyBlacks and is following steadfastly in his father’s footsteps embracing positive dancehall and reggae music across the world.

The 3 Wayz Riddim’s groovy island sound, augmented by the preppy lyrics being delivered by each artist – already has the dancehall masses going crazy on the dance floor – is destined for official release on the 17 of May 2013.
