 New Song from Hezron X Beenie Man “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg”
Released by Tads Record
Two reggae stalwarts team up for a summer anthem. Hezron and Beenie Man have put a dancehall twist on the beloved Temptations classic "Ain't Too Proud to Beg."
The single is getting massive airplay worldwide. Look out for the upcoming video to be released soon.
Jamaica Observer wrote: “Described as a heartbreak song, the uptempo beat is a direct contrast, making it one that is ideal for dancing and partying.”

 Artist and producer Jon Moon has been cooking up his new body-moving, thought-provoking EP "Live That Life" with his studio partner and renowned reggae artist Ganjaman, and it’s finally ready to be released!
CLICK HERE FOR MUSIC PLATFORM OF YOUR CHOICE
Heavily rooted in Reggae and Dub music, the six songs and three dub/riddim versions showcase his skill as a producer and composer with intricate instrumentals and captivating lyrics...lyrics which give the listener hope, encourages us to be kind and courageous, and to take care of one another...to "Live that Life."
Hope itself is a central theme in Jon Moon’s music and an integral theme of this EP, which is also reflected in the title track, "Live That Life Today". Here, in Moon’s most experimental piece of work to date, he bridges the gap between the current state of living and state of mind, and the ideal, which we strive towards. Inviting us to "Live That Life Today“. While five of the songs have already been released as singles, they've all received a meticulous makeover by Ganjaman and Jon Moon to bring them together into one cohesive musical experience.
The EP "Live That Life" as a whole is a declaration of love to (Roots) Reggae, Dub & conscious music, sometimes said aloud ("Just Like We“), and always felt and heard in the detailed productions, showcasing the genre in all its versatility and beauty. It is Jon Moon’s way of giving thanks and praise, and raising hope."Live That Life" was released on May 31st, 2024 by Yutman Records and is available in all online stores and on Bandcamp.
