Ras Slick

Jamaica

It’s clear that Reggae singer Ras Slick is set to make 2018 a super year! With the recent release of the mini documentary ‘Penultimate’ on his YouTube channel and social media platforms — the talent details his amazing music journey through intimate reflections, performance clips and historical footage. Directed by A-Roll Productions, the 7-minute ‘Penultimate’ brilliantly brings the powerhouse singer up close and personal with his fans. From humble beginnings in Jamaica to gracing big stages and festivals with the likes of Beres Hammond, Morgan Heritage and Sizzla to name a few, ‘Penultimate’ delivers excitement and a fascinating introspective of Ras Slick’s career.

The awesome ‘Penultimate’ is not all Ras Slick has brewing! The singer’s impactful ‘No Shackles and Chains’is still a hot pick because it decries the attempts of the powers that be to keep us in bondage. As long as certain conditions exist for people of color, this message will never get old, which the song’s equally empowering video further solidifies. The singer’s new music will be centered on the theme of ‘LOVE’. Ras Slick says passionately, “The world needs more LOVE….too much hate a gwan. My new songs must encourage LOVE and good vibes.” ‘Late Night’ and ‘Crazy Glue’ will be his next releases, to be available on all digital platforms.
