Blemo Drops New Jungle Preservation Various Artist Album
Emerging from the depths of the Central Caribbean Concrete Jungle stands a brand new musical album in Jungle Preservation. Dropping September 6, 2019 on all Digital Distribution Platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer and You Tube Music. Jungle Preservation aims to create a truly immersive experience through the abundant beauty of nature, mesmerizing art, and musical acts that transcend time and space.
With artists like Leroy Gibbons, White Mice, and Briggy Levi, to name a few, Jungle Preservation has now jazzed up the hype even more with it’s lineup.
Other notable names on the album includes Pressure Kid, Honorebel, and, Galaxy P. Then to top it off, the album also has the legendary singers Kirkland Ace and Shadrock in the lineup.
Versatile Lineup
Aside from the incredible lineup, Jungle Preservation sets to bring back a sense of community to the music scene by curating a celebration that focuses on the fan experience and a oneness with nature. Listeners can expect electrifying guitars, rhythmic drums, and stimulating vocals. In addition, the album will feature 2 dubs by producer Courtney “Blemo” Crichton.
In today’s mainstream reggae culture, dancehall bars read like brand press releases and bank account balance statements. What you drive, what you wear on your neck and wrist, how many blue hundos you have for the club – boast dancehall has become big business. Capital over weed. Amex black cards, yachts, Maybachs. One would be forgiven for mistaking many of today’s best-selling dancehall artists for well-spoken brand ambassadors.
Experimental Album Of The Year
If ever there were an outlier to capitalism’s hostile takeover of dancehall, it’s the work of experimental producer Courtney ‘Blemo’ Crichton. As one half of Miami Based Crichton Clique, he has been know to push the boundaries in production. He released five brutally phenomenal albums in 2019 alone, Genesis 1 and 2, Prophecy, of Roots & Reality and Lovers Rocking. Blemo has built a body of work that combines labyrinthian lyrics with sui generis production. Jungle Preservation is his latest, a collaboration with producer Asani Ali that pulls no punches. It’s the best experimental album of the year so far.
Not Easily Classified
Blemo is the first child of Jamaican intellectuals who, as a child, began experimenting with music. He began producing in Montego Bay, Jamaica with his brother White Mice as the test subject and later honed his skills at King Jammys Studio in Kingston, Jamaica. However, it was in Miami’s dancehall scene where Blemo came into his own. As part of The Crichton Clique he began to experiment with various sounds. The Crichton Clique is known as the home of boundary-pushing, genre-bending Hip-Hop, R&B, and Reggae. Blemo emerged as a generational talent not easily classified.

Blemos’ abilities seem innate. Dexterous, satirical, biting, vicious – he delivers flow after flow of dense and deeply affecting beats. Listening to the songs on Jungle Preservation reminds me of trying to dissect Giles Deleuze in college: the writing provides visceral metaphors that, once uncovered, reveal a murkiness at their core, a kind of bait-and-switch where the closer you look, the more the meaning is obscured.
Blemo knows this is a feature of language, not a bug. If there were a one-to-one correlation between the word and the thing it represented, life would be dull, one-dimensional, and artless. On Jungle Preservation Blemo maximizes language’s plasticity, exploring otherness and the dissonance between idea and place, to punishing effect.
Trust us we looked for a very long time and wasted thousands of the dollars testing other teams freelancers, outsource companies.

At every turn, Blemo high-concept beats are matched by the production of Preservation, whose obscure samples are taken from as disparate of an array of sources as Hong Kong record stores to Italian westerns to improvisational noise-jazz. To say you’ve never heard an album that sounds like Jungle Preservation is not hyperbole. Thanks to Blemo, Jungle Preservation is singular.
