Miami based Artist and Producer Phil Watkis Releases a New Track “Never Search”
Jamaican-born Miami-based artist and producer Phil Watkis continues a renewed music run with his third single release in less than three months. The single “Never Search” was released on February 18th under the Radical Roots Records imprint and closed its debut weekend with over 3400 Spotify streams. Phil Watkis’s “Never Search” is that music that keeps on giving with a song that pours into the listener to make them enjoy a life that much more. The glow from the music shines to the fullest, and makes the colors of the world bright, as you are able to hear the fun in the music coming out of your speakers, to bring a party to the listener that never ends. If you love good music, there’s not anything that you won’t enjoy about this special release.
Phil Watkis made his name during the Reggae Revival Movement’s first wave and soon carved out a space for himself across the European landscape with breakout singles such as “Know My Friends”, Hustlers Anthem”, Trodding” and a slew of other concert bangers, that helped the emerging act maintain a strong presence in the Reggae sphere before a brief Hiatus in 2018 to give first-hand care to his terminally ill mother, who passed in 2021.
Fulfilling a promise to his mother, Watkis quickly returned to the studio and in the healing process found a deeper side to his musical talent, along with the singles “Falling For You”, the Al-Mighty Produced “Lion”, and buzzing Radical Roots production “Never Search”, which has already caught an organic buzz from Lovers Rock fans worldwide.

Boorook creates a hip-hop anthem for change on “Fight For Your Rights”
Boorook’s latest release, “Fight For Your Rights,” is both a song and a movement. The Indigenous people have a strong voice, and from the first beat, the song has a strong, urgent, and very human energy. “Fight For Your Rights” is an example of how conscious hip-hop can serve as art activism. The track is about unfair systems, and it’s clear that it supports the Black Lives Matter movement. Clarke’s performance is more than just a show, it’s a call to action that tells people to face hard truths and connect with the pulse of community and defiance.
Thomas Lorenzo’s live guitar adds an unexpected yet beautiful layer, giving the rhythm an emotional depth that makes it feel soulful. The track sounds real because it has real instruments and hip-hop beats. This shows how good Boorook is at mixing styles and still getting the message across.
People feel like they are part of a group when they listen to the song “Fight For Your Rights.” The lyrics are deep, and the music is good. It’s a song that makes people want to get together, think, and do something. Boorook doesn’t just play music; he makes people feel strong by turning every beat into a heartbeat for change.
Boorook’s new release reminds us that music can still be a powerful force for truth and change in a world where trends come and go. “Fight For Your Rights” is a call to action, an anthem, and proof that music can still bring us together, make us think, and motivate us.

Malammore unveils a new voice rising from portugal’s margins on new album “Aurora”
Malammore, whose real name is Sandro Feliciano, is a singer, songwriter, and producer from Lisbon, Portugal. “Aurora” is his first album. The album comes out on January 23 and tells the story of his life as a young Black man, his search for belonging, and his country’s cultural resistance. The lyrics talk about love, adoption, thoughts on humanity, and how the artist sees his role in the world. The concept for the album originated from a notebook containing poems, narratives, and my self-perception within this world. It’s a record of the Black experience in Portugal, of belonging and feeling alone, of love and loss.
Sandro, also known as Malammore, was born in 2005 and lived with the Portuguese State for two years until he was adopted in 2008, which was a big change in his life. One of the main ideas in Aurora is to turn the idea of a “black hole” into “the world’s white hole,” which shows a universe that erases identities. He challenges dominant narratives and changes how people see black bodies in society by filling it with the idea of blackness.
The album mixes hip-hop, rap, trap, and spoken word, which is not something that is usually done. Malammore gets the political tone of the project from people like Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, Angela Davis, and Fela Kuti. No Icon (Rodrigo Fernandes) did the production, mixing, and mastering for the album at Lisbon Sound Society.
