Happy blessed Earthday to brother Dean Ivanhoe Fraser, aka Cannon - the man, the maestro, the musician. Since the mid-’70s, the always-affable Dean Fraser has either been a part of a Rass Brass section–i.e., from We the People for Dennis Brown and the Sonny Bradshaw Seven–to his own popular in-demand 809 Band, to a sax soloist and singer with several albums and singles on record since the ’80s.🎷
Dean Fraser is an acclaimed member of the Jamaican musical fraternity! For nearly 50 years, DeanO has recorded or performed with innumerable artists, such as Luciano, Taurrus Riley, and Morgan Heritage. He’s still called whenever a musical director or producer is needed. In 1993, Dean Fraser was awarded the Musgrave Medal by the Jamaican government in recognition of his services and dedication to music. 🥰
Big up, mi fren . . . and here’s to many more spins on this turntable called life! 🎂🎊

Today we remember our beloved sister and friend, Cedella Marley Booker, on her bornday. Most well known as mother to icon Bob Marley, “Mother B” also became known as mother to us all.💖
Her physical presence is missed by so many, but her legacy lives on – in her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, as well as her recorded music, books she wrote, and the beautiful “blessed” 2-foot dolls made of clay, created and dressed in tribute to her lifelong friends and son Bob.
Mother B was also an incredible cook – an Ital specialist – and sharing food was one of her great joys. In tribute, her son Richard started a line of Jamaican sauces and seasonings known as Smilin’ Island Foods.🥥
Affectionately referred to as “Ms. B,” her wisdom, humor, talent, kindness, vision, and creativity endeared a world of friends, fans, and followers who became family. Her unfettered spontaneous storytelling, combined with her infectious and distinctive laugh, always had whoever was anywhere near her laughing too. She’s smiling ‘pon us right now. Jah love, Mother B, we miss you for I-ver.♥️

Big up, Tarrus Riley - part 2 🎶💚💛💖
Happy blessed Earthstrong to Omar “Tarrus” Riley! Born in the Bronx, NYC, in 1979, & raised in South Florida, the son of veteran Reggae singer Jimmy Riley & Lavern Tatham, started his musical journey as a Dancehall DJ. Following his creative spirit, Tarrus was led to writing his own songs, the teachings of Rastafari, & to the tutelage of legendary musician & producer Dean Fraser & Cannon Productions, who guided the young singer to a No.1 spot on Billboard’s Reggae Chart in 2014.
Since releasing his debut LP in 2004, Tarrus has received multiple awards–most famously for his hit song “She’s Royal,” is recognized for his conscious music, captivating stage performances, warm friendly smile, & welcoming personality.
