Super music producer Curtis Lynch, via his Necessary Mayhem imprint, is once again expanding Reggae music with the wildly hot tune “Let it Go,” which features quite the fusion of UK music luminaries.  The genre-transcending track serves up a zesty taste of Reggae with Stush, UK Grime with Big Fris and a slice of Soul with the phenomenal Shola Ama. The incredible “Let It Go” will debut on Largeup.com, the premiere online platform for Caribbean music, arts and culture, on Monday, May 4, a day before it’s official May 5 release date.

“Let It Go” boasts a catchy hook and intense lyrics that will captivate every listener from beginning to end. The smooth Reggae rhythm (aka riddim) provides the perfect foundation and further solidifies the promising song, which yields a cross-section of styles, boldly represented by the R&B/Soul of Shola Ama, the Dancehall deejay flavor of Stush and the Grime contribution of Big Fris. Because of this unparalleled fusion of artists and styles, “Let It Go” will appeal to a wide listening audience.

Essentially, through the project, he convenes artists of all genres to record on his Reggae Dancehall productions. 
“This is a lot of fun, as it’s an awesome feeling to work with such great artists and to me ‘Let It Go’ is the ultimate combination,” says Curtis Lynch. “I grew up on sound system culture and always liked combination dubs, so now I get to do the same thing with recorded tracks.” 
Shola Ama has had an active career as an R&B/Soul singer for over 20 years and has scored a number of hits over the course of her career, including her unforgettable break through smash “You Might Need Somebody.” Meanwhile, Stush is a hardcore female Dancehall deejay, who even gives the hottest males in her genre steep competition.The lyrically driven Stush garnered great success with her hit solo anthem “The Return.”  Lastly, Brig Fris, aka “Frisco,” is a member of the immensely popular Grime collective/group Boy Better Know. He is a legend in Grime, gaining praise for loads of hard hitting mixtapes and his most acclaimed effort to date, the 2014 EP “British Knights.”
