Off-di-press receives strong reception

The recently released Off-di-Press rhythm, produced by RME Musiq and Time Unit Music, has been receiving strong rotation on local and international radio.

The high-energy juggling features nine artistes, including the high-riding Chi Ching Ching, Munga Honourable, former Gaza leading lady Lisa Hyper, and Bounty Killer's protegE, Flexxx, among others.

AndrE 'DreHype' Williams, a revered former cultural and entertainment affairs chairman at the University of the West Indies, spearheads RME Musiq. He confirmed that Off-di-press would be available for digital download on iTunes and in music stores later this month, just in time for the festive season.

"This is just a ground breaker with a solid effort. A talented bunch of artistes have chosen to record for this project, which we have been honing for a while now," Dre Hype told THE WEEKEND STAR. "The reception from the public is just a joy. We are receiving overwhelming support in the streets. Local sessions and clubs, as well as the radio airwaves are embracing Off-di-press. Just to mention a few: Ghana Y107.9FM, Boston87.7FM Notorious VOG, ZJ Elektra ZIP FM, DJ Sanjay FAME FM, Irie FM's Cashflow Neil, DJ Jimmy Que, on Newstalk93FM, and many more, have fully endorsed the efforts of me and my partner on this project, Neutron," he said.

Neutron, the music composer at Time Unit Music, also spoke highly of the project. He told THE WEEKEND STAR that the Off-di-press rhythm will fit nicely into his catalogue of compilations, which includes the Money Chis, Wild Breed, and Holiday rhythms.

"We are immensely pleased with being touted as the new underground rhythm set to break into the mainstream," he said.
