Just a little info on the Artist’s Career

Reggae Dancehall artist Lawrenco Martino Frazer a.k.a Blakkathon who is a born Jamaican began scoring hit singles starting in early 2004 and thereafter steadily began attracting international attention. His talent, good looks, sensuality and good humor endear him to fans world wide, as does the humility and human kindness he demonstrates throughout his life.

His charismatic style engages an audience of one or thousands. It may seem amazing that this artist’s first CD sold over 200,000 copies in 2004 – 2005, with no major distribution or promotion; he defied radio stations because some radio stations can be real bias when it comes to new and developing artist. He created his own avenue so his music can reach the public ear easily; His fans only knew that his awesome attitude was inspiring and empowering.

He is a dynamic entrepreneur and businessman with a motivated staff, Lawrence formed and signed himself to his Indie record label POSH BOSS Music Productions in 2003. It is his dream to create that venue and the opportunity for himself and many others. His recent work as a recording artist, songwriter and producer open a lot of main stream opportunity for him.

Is it that bad? Personally, I’m looking forward to Kidz in the Hall, Bun, and Alchemist. I’ve heard the J Live album and it’s better than you might expect.
