Vas Productions delivers Tarrus Riley, Capleton single

Having worked with some of the most established acts in the local music sphere, executive producer of Vas Productions Richardo Vasconcellos reveals that he has no plans of slowing down anytime soon.

The experienced producer has teamed up with Marlon Asher, Tarrus Riley and Capleton on a new single. Diamonds and Gold was released on Monday.

" Diamonds and Gold is the first single off Marlon Asher's 13-track compilation called SAFE. It is definitely going to be the reggae hit for 2023, and I'm not being biased. It features Tarrus Riley and Capleton, and the production and work that went into this song has really made it stand out above all. Thanks to Breadback Productions for making it possible," Vasconcellos said.

He said the single gives a taste of the quality music that is on SAFE, which he said has Grammy potential.

"Marlon Asher is signed to Vas Productions and we have collaborated with Don Corleonie to produce the 13-song album. Marlon Asher is a great artiste, and what's important to Vas Productions is the message in the music. As a label, we only put out positive music that can uplift the people to live a positive life, and this project will do that. I definitely see this project by Marlon Asher putting reggae back on the map," he said.

"The project has features from Sizzla, Masicka, Capleton, Tarrus Riley, J Boog, Luciano and Slightly Stoopid. Ten videos have been completed for the project so far, so we're expecting big things from this one," he continued.

Vas Productions, which is known for its musical series, Life of a Ghetto Youth, is looking to cement its place in the local music fraternity with the third installation of the project. Vasconcellos said it will be "reggae-infused with a little hip-hop vibe for the international market".
