Edley Shine Solidifies Fully ‘Active’ Status with New Explosive Release

Edley Shine “Da Big Voice” is closing out a musically charged year, beaming of international performances and music, with the release of his electrifying new song “Active.”

“Active” sees the legendary artist exploring Dancehall’s trending Trap sound. Boasting quite the frequency, “Active” was co-produced by DJ Baby Ace and Roe Summerz. While the blazing DJ Baby Ace has laced tracks for the likes of Jah African, Delly Ranks and Red Rat, Jamaican super producer and artist Roe Summerz has produced for Beenie Man, Tommy Lee and Vybz Kartel. Edley leaned on these elite producers to curate just the song for him, one which would appeal to core Dancehall audiences.

“When Baby Ace sent me the beat, I knew this was my call to take it back to my Dancehall roots, while appealing to a new generation of music lovers,” says Edley Shine. “I also wanted the record to have my signature sound, so that globally it could become an anthem in its own right.”

“Active” is accompanied by a vibrant visual, which was filmed in the DMV (Washington, DC, Maryland and Virginia) by Lapography, a frequent Edley Shine collaborator. Shot on location at Gee’s Lounge, home of famed DMV selector Ricky Platinum’s “Red Hot Zess Thursdays,” the music video boasts authentic vibes. In addition to Ricky Platinum, “Active” has cameos from Shawn Ice, Frankie Sly and The Emperor Sound Family.

Although “Active” is Edley Shine’s musical introduction to the next gen of Reggae and Dancehall fans, it is also a testament to the seminal deejay’s 30 years and counting in Fully “Active” status.
