NEWS: 2015 WHAT A YEAR!

2015 has been an amazing year for the team here at HEMP HIGHER PRODUCTIONS and we wish to thank everyone for the support!

RANDY VALENTINE

It has been an amazing year for young reggae recording artiste RANDY VALENTINE who has spent most of 2015 between airports and the studio.

Not only did he embark on 2 european tours after the release of his “Still Pushing” EP (which topped european ITUNES REGGAE CHARTS), But 2015 also saw him travel all around the world, as he set foot for the first time in AUSTRALIA last May, where he performed at WOMAD, as well as his first official acoustic performance at SIRIUS XM headquarters in NEW YORK CITY.

2015 also saw him participate in 2 of the most talked about projects of the year:

- He featured on MAJOR LAZER‘s single “Roll The Bass” from their “Peace is the Mission” EP which was certified No1 BILLBOARD Electronic/ Dance album last summer.

- He laid down backing vocals on WU TANG‘s now notorious Single-copy Album “The Wu: Once upon a time in Shaolin” – which was sold last month for the record price of 2 Million dollars last month to American pharmaceutical giant Martin Shkreli.

He also released a number of singles, including a track on VP RECORDS / GREENSLEEVES compilation record:“The Biggest One drop Anthems 2015″ produced by Legendary jamaican producer CLIVE HUNT (who amongst others worked with STEVIE WONDER, JIMMY CLIFF, PETER TOSH, THE WAILERS & Many more).

2016 seems very promising for the London based artist who is set to drop a Mixtape in january followed by his debut album end of the year. RANDY VALENTINE has his views set on attacking new markets as he will be performing in TRINIDAD in February, before travelling back to europe for the ROTOTOM & FRIENDS TOUR alongside JUNIOR KELLY, DANIEL BAMBAATA MARLEY and more.

He will then be embarking on his very first US TOUR in June and July covering both the east and west coast, and will be available for european summer festivals in August.

2016 will be a busy year for sure, in which we will continue to witness the talented RANDY VALENTINE‘s growth, as he presses his mission to spread his message of Love and “over”-standing to the four corners of the world.

CALI P

The Jamaican based, swiss born artiste CALI P did yet another tour around the world in 2015! He most likely spent more time in the air than on land this year with tours in 3 different continents!

Fresh off the success of his “Healing Of The Nation” EP (which charted No1 on itunes reggae charts), CALI P did an extensive summer tour with his band in 2015 passing through some of the world’s most prestigious festivals, starting off with REBEL SALUTE in Jamaica, before heading over to europe to perform at SUMMERJAM and REGGAEJAM (europe’s 2 biggest reggae festivals), then he went straight to Canada where he performed in front of 6’000 people in the center of Quebec city for the FESTIVAL DE L’ETE (other acts on the festival were the ROLLING STONES, CYPRESS HILL & JACK U).

After returning to Jamaica very briefly he flew straight back out to COSTA RICA for a 4 show Tour crowned with Success before flying back out to Europe for a second leg of his european tour! As stated previously – CALI P is UNSTOPPABLE!

This year also saw him playlisted on several national radio stations in Switzerland gaining him mainstream exposure which rarely happens in Europe for a reggae artiste.

Currently CALI P is in the studio working on his next project alongside FLASH HIT RECORDS and HEMP HIGHER and will be releasing it in APril. he is currently setting up a summer tour for europe and Canada for 2016. Stay tuned!
