<p>No-Maddz hopes to do that starting with overseas as they release their new Heaven On Earth album.</p>

<p>Their vision is to bring reggae back to its former glory days where the icons like “Bob Marley and Peter Tosh who were very New, Different and Fresh” in their prime,&nbsp; captured the hearts and minds of music lovers around the world.</p>

<p>No-Maddz went into a record store in New York and found Reggae records few and in a back room. The feeling was that the STORE treated the international genre as a niche and that should not be the case. The two Prominent Jamaican actors and Artistes Sheldon ‘Sheppie’&nbsp; Shepperd and Everaldo ‘evie’ Creary were disheartened by the poor representation of Reggae music in the music hub.</p>

<p>Sheppie said, “Somehow since the works that Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and the like there has been a slow pace in terms of international recognition.” Everyone is regurgitating what Bob and Tosh did.” </p>

<p>“working with walsy fire was something we wanted to do because we see him as someone as a producer that channels&nbsp; music into many different audiences’ music lovers, people who are buying music and going to festivals….it was a deliberate idea to merge his talents and experiences with our talents and our strengths as well.” “Walshy heard the song Heaven On Earth and did a cartwheel in the living room and said this song, this album this project made him want to get up and do something.” Shepperd told BUZZ.</p>

<p>The independently produced and released album also presents collaborations with artists including Idris Elba and Grammy nominated Kumar (formerly of Raging Fyah). It also introduces the work of up-andcoming producer, The Wixard, daughter of the legendary Beres Hammond. “Heaven On Earth” is a commentary on the social constructs that affect Jamaica, and reflects on the hardships and triumphs that people all over the world face. Through this album, The No-Maddz’ activism is that of artistic celebration, economic advancement, and the nurturing of the beauty of humanity.</p>
