(
Kingston, Jamaica, November 12, 2008) -
TruckBack Records is proud to announce yet another major milestone forthe groundbreaking single, "
Click My Finger", by Jamaican dancehall reggae artist,
Erup. On November 8, 2008,
Erup added the prestigious
Billboard Hot 100 R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart to an already impressive collection of noteworthy chart positions. His Billboard debut at
#94 follows a series of #1's on reggae charts worldwide, including the
BBC 1Xtra Dancehall chart (United Kingdom), the
New York and South Florida Reggae charts (USA) as well as the
Jamaican Music Countdown (Jamaica). Set against
TruckBack's Gearbox riddim,
Erup's captivating Jamaican style of storytelling creates a persuasive party groove in any language. The combination pushed the song into the top ten among overall spins at New York City's influential Rhythmic radio station,
HOT 97. And underlining its increasing popular appeal,
"Click My Finger" was also recently selected for a feature in the October 15th episode of
"So You Think You Can Dance Canada", Canada's #1 new Fall television show watched by an average of 1.36 Million viewers on
CTV, Canada's largest private television broadcaster.
"Click My Finger"
is the lead single on
TruckBack Records' breakthrough
Gearbox Riddim, whose seductive dancehall vibe established a new trend in Jamaican music. Nominated for 2007's Riddim of the Year, the
Gearbox reached #1 on the reggae charts for a second time with
Harry Toddler's "Don't Run In" and included standout tracks from
Beenie Man, Elephant Man and
Vybz Kartel. Despite its success,
TruckBack still runs on the grassroots, creative energies of brothers
Steve and Adrian Locke, proof of which is evident in new projects the
Ole Axle (2008),
Clutch (2008),
Springblade (late 2008) and
Dash Board (2009) riddims. In the meantime,
TruckBack will be driving
Erup's career to new levels, including a blazing new single,
"Mek Noise", on the way (check Myspace soon!).
