True Story has a story to tell



They may be young, but brothers Kepha and Daniyah Gordon tell their True Story with a maturity well beyond their years. Together, each poses an entertainment triple threat: singer, dancer, lyricist.
Born to a large working-class family in Toronto, Canada, Kepha (16) and Daniyah (14) showed signs of their unique talents at an early age.
The inseparable siblings began to write about the world they were seeing, determined to make a difference with positive messages woven into catchy hooks. The new EP is an R&B crossover sound reminiscent of radio-friendly acts like Musical Youth, ATL, and B2K.
Featuring conscious lyrics, danceable beats, and silky vocals, "Schoolyard" warns against the dangers of falling into the wrong crowd, while "Sometimes" portrays the sexual pressures faced by teens. The story of a family living in poverty is told in "Everyday," and the reggae-flavoured "Things Happen" (inspired by a true story) addresses the image problem faced by young Black men when dealing with the police. And "Solo" is a straight-up club-thumper, built to get feet on the dancefloor.
Kepha, whose husky voice evokes shades of Omarion, prides himself on his skills as a choreographer—dancing practically before he could walk! He is continually growing as a songwriter, composing his ownmusic and branching out his talents into acting, television, and theatre. Kepha has appeared in stage productions of Romeo and Juliet, Snow White, and The Prince And The Pauper (Richmond Rose Productions), and was the Junior Choreographer and ensemble cast member for Randolph Academy's production of The Wiz.
Daniyah began singing to entertain his close-knit family, but soon became a forceful creative partner to his brother. His voice is more allusive to a young Michael Jackson. Like Kepha, Daniyah is also an actor, appearing as Dre (lead) in the TV series Da Kink In My Hair and as Tyler (principal) in TV series The Weight; as Ciel (lead) in Charles Officer's film Nurse.Fighter.Boy; and in two seasons of Our Town (Soulpepper Main Stage). Daniyah also appeared in Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (20th Century Fox), Disney's Jump In, and in television commercials for Hasbro and Hess Toy Trucks.
Boasting an inspiring positivity and infectious sound, these two boys have arrived on the scene with a refreshing debut and a story to tell. With widespread appeal and a broad range of talent, True Story are poised to hit the pop and R&B industry full-force.

Morgan Heritage is set on keeping the top spot as Nothing To Smile About holds onto the #1 position for another week on HYPE TV CHART



Morgan Heritage is set on keeping the top spot as Nothing To Smile About holds onto the #1 position for another week. The single is spending its third week in this coveted position. I guess after meeting the Suriname’s President, Ronald Venetiaan it’s only fair they stay there.
Konshens with Winner has claimed the Shot To Watch title for another week and holds steadily on to the #2 place on the chart. As he’s anxiously awaits the chart’s conscience to set him free to the number one spot, so he can be a true champ.
Assassin’s Dem Nuh Want Nuh Gal seems set on creating mayhem as it slowly gains momentum for the number one position. This week the single jumps one place up to the #3 spot leaving the #4 place. Though Mr Jeffery is a bit quiet locally, he made quite an impact on the patrons with his performance at Champions in Action last Saturday.
The ‘dagger master’ Mr. Vegas is still holding firm as one the top five as the single Daggering clenches the #4 position on the chart. Although it is gradually slips down, it has held the number one title for four weeks.
The veteran holds still, George Nooks with Rest Your Love On Me claims the #5 position for another week. The single is spending its eleventh week on the chart.
Buju Banton as the Gargamel with Sleepless Night is this week Greatest Gainer. The track has jumped a whopping three places up, to make its way at the #12 position leaving from #15. Watch out, Gargamel knows what it takes to be number one.
This week’s New Entry goes to Ms Triniti featuring Beenie Man with Burnin, Burnin taking hold of the #20 position. The single is from the Unseen Lab label. We’ll watch to see how much she’s able to burn to get to the desirable number one spot.

I-Octane’s Different Page gets new life


Since the release of his Different Page Video last week, the single seemed to have definitely found new life, propelled no doubt by the growing popularity of the video.
The video depicts the timely message of turning over a new leaf and getting rid of bad habits. You can’t fail to see the pain that is inflicted on others through hurtful callous actions. All this is stopped in its tracks by the handing of ‘a different page’ to the culprit.
I-Octane manages to get his message across in the well directed video by Anju Val and Junior Arrows.
The single which has already been a hit around the globe sitting at the top of various charts and here in Jamaica it peaked in the number one spot on the Richie B charts.
Presently single is still in contention as it’s #19 on the Hype TV Top 20 Charts, it’s also #20 on the South Florida Charts, while on the New York Charts it’s still in contention in the #12 spot.
The video for Different Page premiered on Hype TV and since then it has been getting some good rotations across the board
