Kashief Lindo is on a Christmas high as his song “Ram it Ram” and album, “Love On”, are number one on the South Florida Reggae Chart and South Florida Top 15 Albums charts, respectively.
Both are enjoying multiple weeks at the summit of those tables which are compiled by veteran broadcaster Clinton Lindsay.
Produced by his father Willie for the family’s Heavy Beat Records, “Ram it Ram” was released in September. “Love On” is also a Heavy Beat project that came out in October, and contains 14 songs.
In an interview shortly after “Ram it Ram’s” release, Kashief was excited about the song’s prospects.
“I want to see it go big 'cause feel-good songs are always a great thing, but I would love to have a hit in Jamaica, my hometown. The more, the merrier,” he said.
He and Willie Lindo were just as confident about “Love On” doing well. It is Kashief’s first album in nine years.
Though it contains mainly original lovers rock songs, one of the album’s strong points is a cover of James Brown’s “Prisoner of Love”.
The tone of “Ram it Ram” and “Love On” are different from Lindo’s hard-hitting “I Cant See Your Face” and “Till dem bun Down The House”, songs that topped South Florida charts last year and early 2021.
