About New Kingston:
New York City reggae outfit New Kingston formed in 2006 by their father Courtney Panton Sr. in their hometown Brooklyn blend Reggae with R&B & Hip-Hop to create their New York meets Jamaica sound. The band is a true family affair, featuring three brothers (Stephen, Courtney Jr., and Tahir), who all sing and play instruments, joined by their father, Courtney Sr. who plays bass. With their Jamaican roots, reggae is in the band’s blood, but having grown up in the musical melting pot of Brooklyn New York City, the three brothers bring in plenty of other influences as well.

Starting from the basement of their Brooklyn home before they took to the outside world, brothers Tahir (keys), Courtney Jr. (drums) & Stephen (guitar) jammed over and over to Bob Marley, Earth Wind & Fire, Dennis Brown, Michael Jackson, The Whispers and many more until it sounded right to father Courtney Panton Sr. He wanted their vocabulary of music to be very eclectic before they hit a stage! "If you ask New Kingston if we still know all those songs, the answer is yes haha” says drummer Courtney Jr. "But they were all favorites that we loved and forever listened to" Afterwards, they have performed to other basements and backyards around town to clubs to Festivals worldwide such as; California Roots Festival, Monterey Bay Reggae Festival, Reggae On The River, Summer Jam Germany, Uppsala Reggae Festival and many more.... "Only thing left to come is more touring and more music" says keyboardist Tahir
New Kingston promotes through their music and their live show Family, Love and Harmony. "One Love" from NK

Kingston City, released on January 27th, 2015, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Reggae chart making it their first billboard appearance.

Lyrics:
Jah, protect me from the evil in the streets
Protect me Jah Jah
Protect me from the robbers and thieves
Oh Jah
I'm begging for some strength
When I get weak
Must beware of the mark ah the beast
Show I the way
Guide me through these evil road blocks
I and I keep the faith
Them can't trim I natty dreadlocks

Say a little prayer for a sunny day
Can't take the sky
When it's so grey
Jah gimme strength so I never go astray
Listen what New Kingston haffi say

(Chorus x2):
Jah, protect me from the evil in the streets
Protect me Jah Jah
Protect me from the robbers and thieves
Oh Jah
I'm begging for some strength
When I get weak
Must beware of the mark ah the beast

Oh Jah gimme the strength so I never go astray
As I trod over these hills
Over mountains and valleys
Please guide me on my way
This is what I pray
At times in life we struggle
But I'm trying to keep the faith
So much going on in this world
That is wrong
We're searching for the answers
To the questions in this song

(Chorus x2)

They try to clip I branches
But them can't kill the roots
Life can be a struggle
So we have to teach the youths
Don't gimme no drugs to juggle
Don't gimme no guns to shoot
Just trust in Jah
And you will find a way
To make it through

The race is for the swift
Chosen are few
Babylon ah ask we question
Like an interview
Because it's in the paper
Do you think that makes it true
Just follow Jah Jah teachings
And you gonna make it through
'Cause
(Chorus x2)
