The great album called Bob Marley Legend has to be the premier album of its time. The legendary CD called Bob Marley Legend maps the life that Bob Marley lived by having the classic tracks such as "Buffalo Soldier" and "Stir it Up" plus "Get Up Stand Up" and "Is This Love". Bob Marley has to be one of my favorite musicians that there is, and that is why he is the undisputed king of reggae. It is but a testament to his ability that he is a global icon. People in his home country and abroad still worship the man and the icon of Bob Marley. |

It’s summertime in the Bay. D-boys are on the block in their crisp white – T’s cautiously watching every passing ride. Longhaired youngsta’s shake their dreads to the cities bustling soundtrack as tricked out Buick Regals and Oldsmobile Cutless Supremes smash up and down the street blastin’ the latest hyphy joint. Moments later you hear a sweet but street song broadcasting from the speakers of a purple - painted scraper. The melodic voice and familiar tune capture you. The music ends as the DJ interrupts. The song is entitled “Trying To Be Your Girl.” The muse of the ode that spoke straight to your heart? That answer is a little more complex.

With the launch of BreakThru Radio (BTR) last summer, the station’s goal was simple: to play the best underground music by unsigned and independent artists. BTR DJs scoured the country looking for the most talented acts, only to discover that some of the best music is being made overseas. So as a tribute to indie music everywhere, BTR will be broadcasting its inaugural World Music Show from July 9-15, hosted by DJ Wynn.

Jaime Paxton landed her first Hollywood job as a production assistant on the first season of MTV’s hit show "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County." Two years later she’s gotten a promotion of sorts. While working on the show for Executive Producer Gary Auerbach, Paxton pursued her hobby of writing and playing music at night. She teamed up with Los Angeles producer Brian Irwin and recorded a few songs as a demo. When the show's editors were searching for new music to place on an episode, they suggested Ms. Paxton bring in some of her songs. She did, and two of her tracks ended up on the show's first season. |
