To give you a taste of what's on the Nigerian/U.K. version I've also included the Nigerian remix to Timbaland and Drake's "Say Something" that is getting alot of buzz and plays on Nigerian radio/blogs right nowSoulbrotha - "Fashi Mi (Leave Me Baby)" (feat. Rukus)

Genesis: The New Beginning
The production team known as DASECA is setting out to revolutionize the dancehall. Their newest riddim entitled "Genesis" will be released March 23rd, however it won't be released in the manner that riddims are currently being distributed:"What has become the norm for Jamaican producers is to literally give away the music as soon as it is finished. Email blasts, social networking sites, blogs etc. ensure the music ends up in the hands of any and everyone who wants it, and they don't have to pay for it. So while it creates a hype and give artists hit songs and generates shows and dub plate income for them, the producer has to pretty much wait on the few remaining labels who deal with Reggae to license a song here or there for a compilation. Whereas in the past labels would take the whole riddim from a producer, that has stopped because of poor sales and because our music has never been marketed properly causing it to end up in a mire. Producers are needed in the business just as much as artists so we have to find a way to survive." - David Harrisingh of DASECA
"While we are realistic about the numbers we expect to do, we have to take a stance and try and regulate our ting. We are also expecting it to leak as soon as it is available, perhaps even before, but for us this is about trying to make a difference. We hope every producer takes a look at what we are trying to achieve and does something about it too so we can help change the culture of how we market and sell our music, because we are all feeling it. Thats why we called the riddim Genesis, because for us and we hope for the business as a whole, it signals a new beginning." - Craig Harrisingh of DASECAThe riddim has already been premiered on New York City's Hot 97 and has also had radio premiers over British and Jamaican airwaves. "Genesis" will be available online (iTunes, Amazon, Zune, Verizon ringtones, etc.) March 23rd. Peep the clips for a preview of "Genesis."
