Freedom Sound rhythm debuts on US chart

Producer Adrian 'Donsome' Hanson is quite upbeat about the success of his 'Freedom Sound' rhythm project.

The various artistes compilation debuted at number four on the sales-driven US Current Reggae Albums chart earlier this week.

"It's a great feeling just to know I can release a riddim-driven project that can make it on the chart. Over the years people have said that riddim-driven albums are not selling. So, this is testament that producing good music and proper marketing can reap results," Hanson said in a media release.

The project was released on September 17. It has 14 tracks, including songs by Grammy winner Mykal Rose, gold-selling Billboard charting reggae group Big Mountain, international acts such as Pressure Buss Pipe, and Jamaica-born Canada-based Juno-award nominee Ammoye.

The project also debuted at number one on the US iTunes Reggae chart upon its release.

Said Hanson, "I have been working hard for over nine months, six months in production and two to three months doing marketing and promotion for this project. But I am happy the hard work is paying off."

Videos for three songs on the project, Fade Away by Lutan Fyah, Freedom Fighters by Marina Peralta and Love Spell by King Tappa, have been released.

Collectively, the tracks on the project have garnered more than 100,000 streams on Spotify in nearly two weeks.
