DUANE STEPHENSON WORKS ON PROJECT WITH I GRADE RECORDS


Reggae singer, Duane Stephenson, who is finishing up work on his follow-up album to his ground-breaking debut, August Town, has also been working on a project with I-Grade Records, based in St Croix, the US Virgin Islands (VI).
“I went down there to do a show and the energy was just natural. I Grade shares the vision of reggae music going forth in a conscious and constructive manner and I support that one hundred percent,” Duane said.
One of the projects already completed is Joyful Noise, a roots reggae compilation CD which features Duane with the single, Hard Times. Also on the compilation is Pressure with the single Modern Pharoah.
According to the producers, Joyful Noise features an impressive roster of artistes who are all at the forefront of the conscious reggae movement from their respective lands — which may be considered the nerve centres of original conscious roots music in this time.
I Grade Records was founded in St Croix in the US Virgin Islands during early 2001 by Laurent ‘Tippy I’ Alfred along with partner Kenyatta Itola. The label’s primary mission is to produce and release the highest quality reggae music emanating from St Croix and the US Virgin Islands. Over the course of several highly acclaimed releases, I Grade has developed a unique musical identity that is undeniably roots, but freely influenced by hip hop, jazz, soul and other musical genres, forming a sound that is both ancient and modern.
Having released several powerful debut albums, I Grade Records is known for its keen ear for new voices that need to be heard. As a crucial part of the roots music movement in the VI, I Grade is committed to “spreading musical isles and healing, from St Croix to across the world”.

  1. However, in all of the discussion on this topic, one
    subject is usually overlooked. It is important to understand all of the different elements that go
    into interviewing for a massage position, and know which questions to
    ask before you get hired. The treatments and care an RT provides to these patients would be drug and oxygen administration to the lungs which may also call for cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

  7. Unquestionably consider that that you said.
    Your favourite justification seemed to be on
    the internet the simplest thing to bear in mind of.

    I say to you, I certainly get annoyed at the same time as folks consider issues that they
    just don't understand about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the entire thing without having side effect , other folks can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks

  11. I drop a comment whenever I especially enjoy a article on a site or
    if I have something to valuable to contribute to the conversation.
    Usually it's triggered by the passion displayed in the post I browsed. And on this article "DUANE STEPHENSON WORKS ON PROJECT WITH I GRADE RECORDS". I was excited enough to drop a thought :-P I actually do have a couple of questions for you if it's okay.
    Could it be simply me or do a few of the remarks come
    across like left by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are posting on other sites,
    I'd like to keep up with anything new you have to post. Would you make a list the complete urls of all your community pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

  14. Hello, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues.

    When I look at your website in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some
    overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!
    Other then that, fantastic blog!
