After conquering his 7 Year Itch in 2011, budding deejay Protoje is now on to The 8 Year Affair.
It took seven years to complete his first album, but having honed his craft to his satisfaction, Protoje is completing his sophomore album, The 8 Year Affair, far more quickly. The deejay entered the scene in 2009 with his hit Arguments which was followed by the likes of Dread, JA, No Lipstick and the runaway hit Rasta Love which featured Ky-Mani Marley. It was only January of last year at the Bob Marley Museum that he launched his praised debut album 7 Year Itch.
Over the weekend, Protoje released his first single from his second album titled Who Dem A Program. He told The Gleaner recently, "well,The 8 Year Affair is the sequel to the 7 Year Itch and you know, after the itch, comes the affair." According to him, the album is in the early stages of development but he is looking forward to releasing it in the summer.

While the first album chronicled a seven-year musical journey, Protoje says the sophomore album will reflect his growth and development spiritually. He said, "the sound is definitely different on this album. Don (Corleon) and I wanted to bring a fresh sound to it, as yuh can tell by the first single, it sounds like nothing on the 7 Year Itch."
The first single Who Dem A Program has a more aggressive sound to it than anything on his previous album.
In the chorus he deejays, "A who dem a program? who dem young girl have dem eye pon? A coulda who dem a program? A who Mr Babylon have dem eye pon? Who dem a program? Who informa siddown and a spy pon?"
He explained, "I always wanted my first single for my second album to make a statement. To reaffirm my presence in the industry. Lyrically, what this song speaks about was important to me." In the upcoming months, the artiste is planning to do music videos forWho Dem A Program and Our Time Come. While Don Corleon is doing the bulk of production work on The 8 Year Affair, there will also be a single from a French production label calledSoul Vybz. He also says he isn't opposed to working with other producers.

International soca pop star Kevin Lyttle returns with the sweet vocals that made him a household name on his new joint, "Wine Go Down," released on his very own Tarakon Records. The singer/songwriter teams up with Richy Peña, talented music producer of the Latin Grammy-Winning Album Mi Niña Bonita, for the sizzling single that he's taking to the 2012 carnival season and across the globe.  "This tracks depicts the reality of where I come from and the type of creation in music that has made me successful," reveals Lyttle, on his inspiration for the song. "I really didn't want to do another 'Turn Me On' so I came back with something that is still classic Kevin Lyttle but something that's still original. "Recently completing his Miami-based studio, Lyttle has been busy recording with various producers and touring the world. From China, Japan, Egypt, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, India, Australia, Suriname and throughout Europe, he continues his journey as a globe-trotting Caribbean music ambassador. Lyttle shot to international fame when his sexy single "Turn Me On"  grooved all the way to number four on the Billboard Hot 100 Pop Chart, representing soca music in the mainstream market in a way that's never been done before, and hasn't been done since. The track was from his self-titled debut album on Atlantic Records, back in 2004. Now following the same formula for success with his fusion of soca, dancehall and R&B, Lyttle is poised to bring the sounds of soca back into the mainstream, in a way that only he can. "I'm bringing those sexy, party, romantic, fall-in-love, meet-someone-on-the-dance-floor tracks that the people like."
