International recording artiste Delly Ranx returns to Jamaica this week where he will perform at a show at Margaritaville in Ocho Rios on March 29 before heading to a show at a club called Ticky Ticky Explosion in Coleyville, Manchester, on March 30.

"I always, look forward to my return to Jamaica, the Margaritaville show ah go mad, and Manchester ah my place. Mi ah come fi deliver some great high-energy performances. After that, I will be shooting a music video for my latest single, Got It Forever, which is doing well on radio. it's going to be a great trip," Delly Ranx said.

Got It Forever is the second single from the artiste's critically acclaimed The Next Chapter album. Produced by Dynasty Records, this uptempo song possesses sweet melodies and a contemporary sound that demonstrates Delly's Jamaican roots, while the catchy melody has an element of international appeal.

The single currently holds down the #7 spot on the Hype TV Jamaica charts.

"Things are going well, Pure Music Ja is taking off, the Property Tax rhythm is getting play on the radio and, at the local dances, we ah represent the original dancehall ting," Delly Ranx said.

The last time Delly Ranx was in Jamaica, he performed at a charity show in Mavis Bank on Christmas Eve, and then at the Stone Love anniversary on December 29.

Critics have consistently hailed The Next Chapter album as "one of the best reggae albums over the last 12 months", but it is more than that. It is a portrait of redemption for a dancehall artiste making a successful go at a second act as a father, husband and a spiritual force through reggae music.

The title track, The Next Chapter, has been a local chart topper here in Jamaica peaking at #3 on the HYPE TV Top 20 charts, the top 10 of Richard Banton's Dubplate charts in Canada and in the top 10 of the Stampede Street Charts, while the album itself held the #1 spot for several weeks on Richie B's prestigious Jamaica Music Countdown Best Reggae Album chart.

High-profile radio disc jockeys like DJ Smurf and ZJ Liquid have Got It Forever and The Next Chapter in regular rotation on their programmes, so the album signalled a real maturation of Delly Ranx as a complete artiste, one who spans the worlds of dancehall and reggae with equal dexterity, soul and passion.

lly Ranx revealed that he had sold "almost 3,000 copies of the Next Chapter online".
