There are not many gospel ‘juggling riddims’ on the market, but last year Basco House Productions in Jamaica changed that with its ‘Touched by An Angel Riddim’ album. On March 3, the company returns with a follow-up titled ‘Touched by An Angel Riddim — The Deuce’.
Seven of the acts from the first album are back for ‘The Deuce’. They include Jimmy Fagan, co-founder of Basco House Productions; Stefan Peninsilyn, Kevin Smith and DC Praise.
For their second production, the company reached out to Jabez, Goddy Goddy and Sone G, leading names in contemporary gospel, to contribute songs.
"If anything such as feedback from the first compilation project is anything to go by, then this one is definitely destined to be explosive, to put it mildly,” said Fagan.
A deejay, Fagan maintains the dancehall-type delivery he first heard at dances when he was a boy in Kingston, Jamaica during the 1980s. Then, he admired artists such as Papa San, Red Dragon, Flourgon, Buju Banton, and Sanchez.
After becoming a Christian in 1999, Fagan turned his back on secular music. Five years later, he kicked off his recording career with ‘Read Your Bible’ featuring singer Gerry Chosen.
The following year, Fagan launched Basco House Productions.
