24×7 Reggae Music & Internet Radio

Last year, UMI signed the singer to a man­age­ment con­tract and together they have been mak­ing and releas­ing excel­lent, chart-riding music.
   
“We are proud to work with Bescenta,” said UMI CEO, Africa. “He is a very ded­i­cated and focused artiste and only pro­duces great music.”
   
Among Bescenta’s new hit sin­gles is the big tune ‘War’ (‘Too Much Killing’), recorded on the Sons of Spoon label and rhythm, which also fea­tures I-Wayne, Nes­beth and George Nooks, among oth­ers.
   
‘War’ is sched­uled to be videoed by mid-summer and the video pro­duc­tion label Thir­teenth Tribe is said to be respon­si­ble for mak­ing it all hap­pen. Not yet released, ‘War’ has been get­ting some good radio play.
   
“When yuh hear the cho­rus it is straight to the point, stop the killing. Killing is on a high not just in Jamaica but world­wide. We know the prob­lem is not lim­ited to Jamaica. You have nuclear war threat, gun man­u­fac­tur­ing and you know the whole thing start from gun man­u­fac­tur­ing. Some can’t buy food and a buy gun. So the biggest solu­tion really is to stay away from guns. With­out peo­ple use, the mech­a­nism gun has no use,” Bescenta rea­soned. 
   
Bescenta broke into the music with ‘Mama Told Me’, a song that reit­er­ated the warn­ings he received from his mother “to stay clear of bad com­pany”. After a few not so pop­u­lar, or less pro­moted sin­gles, the Rasta­far­ian DJ found another hit in the “hot head” con­sol­ing ‘Calm Down Your Nerve’. Despite the song’s appeal to mur­der­ous blood-letters to “calm down their nerve” and cease the killing and pre­serve life, the song also hints to pos­si­ble rea­sons for the rise of crime.
   
Bescenta, who has been enjoy­ing label tag and man­age­ment from UMI’s CEO Africa and producer/manager Damion Allen with pro­fes­sion­al­ism and some good record­ings, is antic­i­pat­ing a sum­mer album release of his debut album ‘Calm Down Your Nerves’.
   
“I love work­ing with UMI, we are on the right track, every­thing is alright, every­thing is pro­fes­sional,” the singer said.
   
Already he has released equally potent sin­gles of vary­ing top­ics from the album. Some of the fif­teen tracks plus bonus expected are ‘Too Much Killing’, ‘Calm Down Your Nerves’, ‘Fire In A Di Heav­ens’, ‘Gen­uine’, ‘For I Hold A Joy’, ‘Hun­gry Lane’, ‘Alright’ and ‘Fields Of Green’.
   
Bescenta, who seemed eager to get his music to his fans, also toasted ‘Gen­uine’, a label he proudly pins on women, the sub­ject of the song.
   
“‘Gen­uine’ is really a song com­pli­ment­ing the fam­ily, the woman and strong fam­ily val­ues, because keep­ing the fam­ily together is not easy so this is like a love solu­tion. Look out for the video for this one,” the singer touts.
   
Regard­ing the album, Bescenta gives props to musi­cians Dean Fraser, Clive Hunt and Sly & Rob­bie and says, “a lit­tle bit of every­thing, world issues” can be expected from the album.  
   
Next to the chart top­ping ‘Calm Down Yuh Nerves’, ‘War’ is cur­rently Bescenta’s biggest song and comes as a fol­low up to ‘Calm Down Yuh Nerves’, which is still reign­ing, get­ting heavy chart action on New York, South Florida and Jamaica Music Count­down charts, while CVM TV cel­e­brated its video as num­ber one.
   
“In the streets when I per­form it I get a good response from the peo­ple.  I did it in Grants Pen on Sun­day and they loved it. Even though they say these areas are vio­lent, the peo­ple dem a sing the song. Every­body needs to be freed from these things. Which is just one of the prob­lems, there is a mes­sage in all the songs,” Bescenta tells.
   
Bescenta is expected to join other artistes and an array of big bad sound sys­tems for pro­mo­tion ‘Reset’ with Stone Love, DJ Shawn and Rebel T. 
   
In the mean­time, Bescenta promises “good music straight with no dis­ap­point­ment to my fans” and “big ups to his man­age­ment, DJ Shawn who hits the street with me, all selec­tors and disc jockeys”.
