Episode Details

This September, Jamaica welcomes back the Excellence in Music Ceremony for its sixth year, spotlighting four trailblazing women whose impact echoes across genres and borders. Posthumously honored is the legendary J Capri, whose chart-busting hit “Whine & Kotch” with Charly Black just earned a British Silver certification — proof that her legacy still commands global attention. Also celebrated: Chevelle Franklyn, who’s receiving her own Silver for her role in Shabba Ranks’ “Mr Loverman,” adding to her Grammy honors; Heather Cummings, recognized with a Grammy Certificate for her vital backing vocals on Beres Hammond’s “One Love, One Life”; and Ma-Isheeba (Chyna), continuing her streak of accolades. Together, these artists represent the diverse, often unsung, roles women play in shaping Jamaican music — from front-stage stars to behind-the-scenes voices. As the founder of Back 2 Da Future Music Limited puts it, this ceremony isn’t just about awards — it’s about rewriting the narrative, ensuring women’s contributions are seen, heard, and celebrated on their own terms.
