Voice Mail

about

Voicemail is a three piece melodic Jamaican reggae group whose members are Craig Jackson, Kevin Blaire and Oniel Edwards. Just like their brothers in dancehall T.O.K., Kingston, Jamaica's Voicemail are a dancehall group heavily influenced by RB acts like Boyz II Men and Jodeci. Members Craig Jackson, Kevin Blaire, and Oniel Edwards son of reggae great Rupie Edwards came together in 1999 at a talent show. They formed Voicemail soon after, originally as a quintet. By 2003 the two extra members were gone, and Voicemail began working as a trio with various producers, cutting dubplates along with some singles. Their early smooth RB efforts made a minor impact in Jamaica, but as the trio began working more in the energetic style of the Scare Dem Crew of which Craig Jackson's older brother was a member the hits got bigger. In 2004, "Weh Di Time" with Delly Ranks and Bogle became such a big Jamaican hit that it warranted a sequel, "Ready to Party (Weh Di Time 2)." Soon tracks like "Jamaican Jiggas" and "Wacky Dip" were all over Jamaican radio, familiarizing the audience with the trio's trademark shout, "You've got mail Voicemail, heyeeeee" That trademark figured into the title of their fulllength debut, Hey, which the VP label released in 2006.
