After scoring with easy-listening reggae songs by J C Lodge and Wayne Armond, My MM Productions out of South Florida decided to go for a different sound with their latest production. <\/span>\u2018Afrobeats Medley\u2019 <\/span><\/i><\/b>by The Greaves Brothers (featuring DJ Mossy Kid) flirts with music\u2019s hottest sound.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

South Florida-based siblings Teddy, Yishka and Gersi were approached by Armond and Orville Marshall, principals of My MM Productions, to take a crack at Afrobeats, the trendy genre that originated in West Africa.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The trio put a Rhythm and Blues flavor to the song by singing The Temptations’ <\/span>\u2018My Lady Soul\u2019<\/span><\/i><\/b>, The Drifters’ <\/span>\u2018This Magic Moment\u2019<\/span><\/i><\/b> and <\/span>\u2018Stand by Me\u2019<\/span><\/i><\/b> by Ben E. King. They are accompanied by DJ Mossy Kid, a former member of Sean Paul’s Dutty Cup Crew.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Marshall said <\/span>\u2018Afrobeats Medley\u2019<\/span><\/i><\/b> stemmed from a recording session he and Armond had with Yishka, a vocalist\/saxophonist who, like his brothers, are proteges of their father Teddy Greaves Senior, a Jamaican bandleader.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“The Idea of a R&B cover song was discussed initially and over several discussions it morphed into a medley with a deejay segment at the end of each song. Wayne started writing the lyrics for the deejay and I finished it. We tried a few deejays, and it wasn\u2019t the right fit and Wayne suggested Mossy Kid who he knows well, and the rest is history.”\u00a0 <\/span>\u2018Afrobeats Medley\u2019<\/span><\/i><\/b> is currently in the Top 10 of the South Florida Reggae Chart.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Marshall started My MM Productions three years ago in South Florida. He and Armond have forged a strong partnership that has produced songs by J C Lodge, Luciano, Pinchers and Steve Malekuu.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
