Singer Rasta Blacspade shows different sides to his talent on ‘I Love You’, his first EP. It contains seven songs, including the title track, all produced by Dub Chemist.
The New York-based artist credits his hands-on approach and working with elite musicians for the project’s quality.
“l am excited knowing that I wrote all the songs, the production is great in a sense that we have some of the greatest musicians alive on it including (saxophonist) Dean Fraser, (bassist) Flabba Holt and (percussionist) Bongo Herman, just to name a few,” said Rasta Blacspade.
He stated that there was an agreement with Dub Chemist to show his versatility on ‘I Love You’. That can be heard on the title track, ‘Rasta Live’ and ‘Hail Jah’.
“We matched our ideas, as I want to reach out to audiences outside roots music. As I speak, I have some dancehall tracks coming out soon,” Rasta Blacspade disclosed.
In the past two years, the Rastafarian has released a number of songs including the uplifting ‘Love Over All Things’ and ‘IRAWMA’, a nod to the long running awards show.
Rasta Blacspade is from St. Catherine parish in Jamaica but has lived in the United States since 2000. A trained auto mechanic, he has been recording music for over 20 years.
