 Hello everyone, Artist, musician and actor D.B.L. has delivered an early Christmas present to his fans in the form of a brand new song! 'Your Riddim' was released on December 17 and it is one that you all should definitely add to your playlists, this holiday season and beyond. All of his previous songs are amazing so I had high expectations for this one and he did not disappoint. I love it so much! I'm wondering if the 'Riddim' in the title is a play on the word rhythm? The song has a very interesting groove to it and the beats and sounds remind me of the islands of the Caribbean, where DBL is from. I get good and happy vibes from it and it is sure to make everyone ant to dance along. In fact, as I'm sitting at my desk writing this, I am trying to resist the urge to move!  We have to give a shout out to the team that worked on this song with him - It was produced by Jeri Nova (Instagram @jeri_nova), mixed by Gmnii Riich (Instagram @gmniiriichual) and the cover ...

When it comes to Christmas, the British royal family are just like the rest of us. They get together with the whole family, have meals, exchange gifts and enjoy relaxing and spending time together. In this post, I am sharing a few of the Royal family's Christmas traditions.  1. One week before Christmas, the Queen hosts a luncheon for extended family at Buckingham Palace. 2. The royals serve as patrons of many charities and they continue to support their respective causes throughout the holiday season by throwing Christmas parties for them. In 2018, William and Kate attended celebrations for military personnel deployed in Cyprus and their families in London. 3. Just like many other families, they send out annual Christmas cards to  well-wishers around the world. These cards always feature a portrait of the family.
