With the month of October regarded internationally as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, reggae recording artistes Ras Slick and I-Octane are slated to perform on Sunday, October 12, at the ‘I Think Pink 365′ Breast Cancer Awareness Fundraiser in Washington DC. The event, organised by Crystal Clear Entertainment, is dedicated to survivors and others who have passed from the disease, which is said to affect one in eight women in the US.

Ras Slick, based in Maryland and Virginia, lauded the organisers for what he said was more than a worthy cause.

“I fully endorse this event, Breast Cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer and as artistes its our responsibility to not only entertain our fans but also help to keep them informed so I’m encouraging everyone to come out,” he said.

Tickets for the fundraiser-concert are US$25 with music by Prince Royal, Ricky Platinum, Sonic 71, and DJ Sniper alongside DJ Danny Fyah.

U.S based reggae singer Ras Slick is continuing his visual promotions campaign with yet another new video, this time for his single “Thank You Jah Jah.”

The new video was directed by the multifaceted singer who traveled to Negril, Jamaica to capture visuals over a 7 day period. “Well right now we’re looking to keep the videos coming. I recently bought a camera as an investment to ensure I can always shoot my performances and music videos. This is what we’re doing right now—building the fan base and gearing up to release my ‘Higher Level’ mix tape, which was mixed by Lion Vibes International Sound,” stated Slick.

The video, which is currently in the final stages of editing is slated to be released in early September but for now Slick explained his current catalog of songs are gaining momentum. “Right now I’m promoting songs like ‘31’ which is a song for the ladies. We have other tracks like ‘This Place’ as well as the most recent ‘My Time’ for which a video is now out.”

In 2013 Ras Slick got his break when he was featured on the chart topping First Capital Riddim by Armz House Records with the single ‘Dreaming.’ “That song opened a lot of doors for me. It received good airplay at the time and when I did the video it was well received both in Jamaica and here in the DMV.”

United States-based reggae singer Ras Slick recently walked away with the coveted award of Best Male Vocalist at the 2014 Washington, DC, Annual Reggae Music Award Ceremony.

The award, which was initiated in 1997, promotes the mandate of honoring entertainers, businesses, and promoters within the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Area and since 2005, has allowed winners to be chosen by public voting.

Known for his high-energy single Dreaming, Slick has been steadily promoting his music both locally and overseas. “I’ve been doing a lot of groundwork especially as it relates to getting more visuals out. Last year, I released videos for Dreaming and This Place, which is a conscious song about the current state of Jamaica, and I’m heading back to Jamaica in August to premiere my Master My Time video,” he revealed.

An excellent stage performer, Slick has shared the stage with a number of prominent acts, including Luciano, for whom he opened at Howard Theatre, and Da’ville, to name a few.

With his upcoming mixtape, Higher Level, only weeks away, Slick is promising high-quality music for his fans. “I’m always working, and I will definitely be doing something special for my female fans with the song called 31. Other upcoming projects will include a collab with dancehall deejay Khago,” he said.

Reggae recording artiste Ras Slick is voicing his concerns about some of Jamaica’s ongoing social and economic woes in a brand-new single titled This Place.

Slick, who is based in Maryland, Virginia, recently released a music video for the song which he describes as a plea to his fellow Jamaicans to wake up and realise their true potential.

“On this new song, I wanted to shed some light on some serious issues taking place in Jamaica. I’m a proud Jamaican and, when I see people fighting and killing each other for foolish reasons, it really bothers me. In short, I just wanted to inspire those who are willing to listen and so, right now, we gearing up to promote the song both locally and internationally” he said.

Directed by Richard Brown, the video was shot on location in Negril, Westmoreland, and was produced by Shavy T Records.

Slick, who last year released Dreaming, his most successful single to date, is promising big things for the new year. “Well, for 2014, we will continue to work hard. I have a lot of new music on the way and we definitely are looking to do a lot more shows. I just want to build a steady fan base and grow as an artiste,” he said.

Maryland-based reggae recording artiste Ras Slick is spreading his music far and wide.

The up-and-coming singer landed in Jamaica recently for a two-week promotional stint for his latest single, Dreaming, which is featured on the Capital One Riddim by Armz House Records.

“I’m back in Jamaica at the moment to both promote my current single Dreaming and to record some new material to carry me into next year. Since I arrived, I’ve recorded two tracks, the first entitled Thirty One, for Seventeen Records, and I also have singles coming from Good Look Records, Kappah Records, Armz House Records and my label MacSlick Records.”

According to Slick, who was once the entertainment manager at the popular five-star hotel RIU, music has been a dominant force in his life since a tender age.

“I’ve been singing from I was a child, always wanted to be an artiste, and here I am today. I performed at Society Restaurant and Lounge with the Passion Reggae band every Tuesday night back home, and it has been a blessing to be making so much progress.”

With a number of big projects, including a collaboration with Daville, and two new music videos in the pipeline, Slick is confident he will make his mark in the years to come. “I make feel-good music, spiritual music and positive songs that people can learn from. Right now people see Chronixx, but he is just the smoke, I’m the fire that is coming to blaze in reggae music.”
