Gunplay and Ricco Barrino teamed up with North Carolina super-producer J. Manifest on the latest offering “Bucket List”. The 13-track album harkens back to the origins of hip-hop and mixes with the uniqueness of Gunplay and Ricco Barrino. The album welcomes you with “Bucket List”, a perfect sample platter for what is to come on the album, and was produced by J. Manifest.
J. Manifest is a musical genius in the making. From a young age, he has been creating music and found some outstanding talent to work with such as Rick Ross on the Album “Mastermind”, Anthony Hamilton on the album “Love is the New Black” and also team up with Gunplay on his new album “ALL Bullshit Aside”, which he manages to produce “Bucket List” Featuring “Ricco Barrino”. He has already made a huge difference in Gunplay’s Album and we are excited for them to keep collaborating as a team for future projects. Speaking of the Internet, he went viral on the Album “Mastermind” by Rick Ross. “Drug Dealers Dream” is one of the fan-favorite tracks on the project “Mastermind” which was produced by J. Manifest himself. The song has over 12 Million Streams combined. Don’t let the viral sensation fool you, as a producer/ engineer he takes his craft seriously, and his true talent shows on projects like “Bucket List” & Anthony Hamilton’s album “Pillows and Safe.”
It’s no secret that a super-producer can make or break a project and J. Manifest has a long list of credentials with highly notarized musicians. In the past, J. Manifest has worked with Wiz Khalifa, Beanie Sigel, Project Pat, Money Bagg Yo, and Yung L.A. His previous work with acts Elhae (“Stars”), Curren$y, T-Pain, Young Dolph, Colonel Loud, and MMG artist Scrilla’s “Gods Will” EP are also some of his best. To conclude, J.Manifest is more than a super producer. He is a teacher, a mentor, and a coach, and leaves everyone he meets with the desire to manifest their dreams.

Kalpee Honors Heritage and Heart on His Emotion-Rich New EP Dougla Boi
Kalpee is back with Dougla Boi, a beautiful new EP that is both personal and powerful. It gives listeners a close look at the layers of identity, heritage, and emotion that make him who he is. The Trinidad and Tobago artist is confident in his own space, which is rooted in New Calypso and polished with hints of dancehall, R&B, and afrobeats. In this space, genre bends, but emotion leads.
Named after the Trinidadian word for someone of mixed African and Indian heritage, Dougla Boi is honest, proud, and warm about the complexities of culture. Kalpee opens a window into the dualities that define him across six tracks, turning personal truth into universal resonance. The EP is just under 19 minutes long, but every second is carefully planned to take listeners on a journey through courage, joy, healing, and the quiet strength that comes from accepting all parts of yourself.
The first single, “Under,” stands out right away for its calming yet emotionally charged experience. Kalpee’s voice flows over a beat that sounds both new and old, fitting the EP’s theme of bringing cultures together. It’s one of the best examples of how he can mix soft and hard sounds, which is what makes his New Calypso sound so unique.
“Everybody,” which features Full Blown, is another excellent song that has already done very well. It has a happy vibe and an infectious bounce, making it one of the EP’s most replayable songs. “Everybody” captures the spirit of community and shared experience, which is what Kalpee means when he says that identity is not a box but a rhythm.
