BAMBAATA MARLEY @ REGGAE ON THE RIVER 2018

IAMDDB

I’m just gonna start off fast and go zero to 60..... THROW THE WHOLE RHIANNA AWAY!!! Bad girl swagger has been manifested and displayed by this 21-year-old artist from Manchester UK. When described and I do mean accurately as “ smoking blunts drinking dark liquor out of a mason jar with a fur coat wrapped over a pair of togs” you can clearly see this yungin has charisma. Since leaving her Jazz group in Africa in 2015 IAMDDB has been writing and producing music seriously although yet to be signed to a label like one needs that but IAMDDB has been releasing albums and playing festivals across Europe in fact she just finished the SET IT OFF TOUR with Bryson Tiller in Europe. So baby girl is workin while she smokin and drankin! IAMDDB is inspired by Bob Marley and we didn't need her to tell us and I bet she's also been inspired by Jack Daniels too but I digress she has swagger and a huge personality that flows out on a few of her hits.. Me personally I enjoy the track titled “ Shade” and also “Conjuring” both my personal favs followed by the track “GAF” in which she lets you know she can get women too.. lol I know I have no chance finding love if she's my competition.. IJS. IAMDDB will soon be all over the globe check her out and all her music. As she eases her soothing vocals over tracks you can clearly hear the talent she possesses coming from a family of musicians she will be a breakout artist and has potential to headline shows. IAMDDB is a walking talking billboard whether its fashion, music or her huge persona she has marketing potential that’s unmatched. It won't the long before IAMDDB is a household name so go grab some ganja and a glass of cognac because you will need it for this beauty. As well as setting trends she is making her own genre of music which is being dubbed URBAN TRAP JAZZ.. Besides setting trends in fashion while making hit collabs IAMDDB is now on tour lighting up festivals and concerts worldwide. So we shall see how bright this star will shine but my guess is look out Polaris you now have a sister. As we all know good music is not hard to find over here so to check out IAMDDB and other great artist stay tuned in and keep it positive and fresh…. I'm Amero and i’m out!!!!!

COACHELLA WRAP-UP

PARTY LIKE ITS 1999

By Amero

Yes yes once again Empire Valley has opened up to festival-goers from around the world. If you didn't know from the intro I'm talking about Coachella Music and Art Festival! Every year since 1999 musicians, artists and top chefs  alike have met at the Empire Polo Club in Indio California for a two weekend festival in the sun. Now I didn't make it this year but rumors have it that it was one of the best years on record with many new features and star studded performances. Over 700,000 concert-goers made the trip to SoCal to bask in the sun and enjoy a weekend of great food music and art. The headliner this year was Beyonce and as usual  she didn't disappoint with a performance that boasted a 100 dancers and 5 outfits! And on top of that she had a Destiny’s Child reunion while bringing out Solange and Jay-z.. Soon after fans were calling it “Beychella” lol yeah the Beyhive is alive and crazy.. Among other top acts were the Migos, Cardi B, Dej Loaf, Black Coffee AC Slater and many more. Now last time I was

Now the last time I was at Coachella I had a blast. The event featured multiple stages for amazing shows. Coachella is a full functioning event that has a campground with a camping center, a general store and a farmers market.. Yes they have it all but this year they took it to another level by adding a 40,000 sq foot food hall called Indio Central Market that featured 15 restaurants. The featured restaurants provided open seating and a wonderful selection of food ranging from “Backyard BOWLS” an Acai bowl shop to “Bludso’s” which is a Texas BBQ sandwich shop. No Coachella didn't stop there they also had Pop up restaurants in which you had to reserve seating on Opentable.com. As if they couldn't provide more entertainment they have Large-scale art installations and I do mean large! One exhibit was called “LODESTAR” it was a huge jet turned into a chrome art masterpiece Crazy right? With so much going on how does the event staff keep up with the maintenance of the grounds you would think there would be a mess to clean for weeks but no their sustainability department has come up with a good idea a recycling store where you can pick up cans and bottles from around the grounds and turn them in to collect points so you can cash them in for Coachella gifts & merchandise. I don't know about you but next year I plan to be in attendance to witness. No matter which kind of music or whatever your palette it’s here. Next spring come out to Cali and get some sun and fun from music to summer fashion trends Coachella is sure to deliver whatever you need. Stay blessed and keep it positive I'm Amero and I'm Gone.....
