You may have heard about Smith Mansion Entertainment, a new entertainment outfit that has been focusing on breaking new acts and re-establishing old proven acts like veteran singer Pat Kelly, formerly of the Techniques.

Tyrone Smith, the chief executive officer of Smith Mansion, has an overarching vision of building a competitive record music production label with both proven veterans and neophytes. So far he has done a pretty good job, amassing an excellent collection of bouncy singles from a range of young acts, and well-produced, artfully mixed creations from a veteran artiste. The best of the lot include the catchy Beat It featuring Hollow Point, Golden Rama and Rally Bop. The single appears on a laid-back reggae-dancehall rhythm where these young *lo**s spit rhymes about tough inner city life in Jamaica and the phrase beat it refers to the firing of a gun.

One of the singles creating a definite buzz is Rally Bops The Story which recounts a robbery attempt by three males, one of whom is not particularly bright, and which has an accompanying video which is doing quite well in Jamaica.

One876Entertainment.com also listened to a number of singles from Pat Kelly of I'm In The Mood For Love which has been covered by a lot of local artistes. Excellent songs such as the rocksteady-dancehall hybrid remake of How Long, Why Why and If Some Miracle are must haves for anyone who loves lovers rock music.

Pat Kelly said that Smith Mansion CEO Tyrone Smith had heard his voice for several years and finally decided to meet him in person, and then expressed an interest in working with Kelly.
Tyrone Smith, asked me to re-record several of my songs and also work on some new material for his label. I think this was a good chance to capture a wider audience, since many of the persons who know my songs don't know I did them or what I look like. I really appreciated it, and so I'm into a new era again, Pat Kelly said in a recent interview.

Music fans over 50 will remember Pat Kelly's distinctive smooth vocals soaring over the impeccable harmonies of Bruce Ruffin and Winston Riley who were at the controls back in the days when the late Slim Smith was the lead vocalist. Other standout singles include Jah is Good by singer Robert Ffrench a cousin of Pat Kelly, Call on Jah Luciano and Rally Bop and Bag a Bills Prince Theo

Look out for Smith Mansion Entertainment, making rock-solid music and building its own concrete legacy in the reggae community.
