DJ Nicholas/The Audiologist/On The Shout Records

DJ Nicholas is no stranger to the Gospel Reggae scene and this marks his fourth album. This Jamaican native’s style is a mix of traditional reggae chat, dancehall, R&B, electronic, and hip-hop. This is a very diverse album with collaborations with artists Chris Black, Todd Dulaney, Papa San, and Yankee B. His style and word play is engaging and clever. If you like Papa San, Positive, Shabba Ranks, or Monty G, then this album is for you! Fave tracks: 9*, 12, 2, 8.
