J Boog link up with Big Yard's Richie Spice

Fast-rising Hawaii-based recording artiste J Boog was recently in Jamaica working on a sizzling hot reggae collaboration alongside roots singer, Richie Spice at Big Yard Studio in Kingston.

With the guidance of Morgan Heritage member Gramps and veteran singer/songwriter Yami Bolo, both Boog and Spice joined forces musically to create the still untitled single which according to Boog was inspired after he visited a certain garrison community.

"During my stay I got a chance to go out by Trench Town, there I saw the struggle of the people and that moti-vated me to do a song. I was born and raised in Long Beach, California but from there I moved to Compton so I know what real struggle feels like."

J Boog who burst on to the Hawaiian music scene in 2007 thanks to a chance meeting with the tropical island's biggest superstar 'Fiji', stated that he has always wanted to visit the birthplace of reggae but only recently got the opportunity. "Our music in Hawaii is pretty similar to reggae music, in fact we call it island music or island reggae, so since I began singing I've always dreamed of coming to Jamaica to experience the local culture."

Looking to make his mark in the international mainstream, J Boog is confident the world will soon hear his calling. "I am a high-energy artiste, I make good music and put my blood, sweat and tears into every record. Island artistes haven't been getting the recognition we deserve but we not going to stop pushing."
