For his first EP, the aptly-titled B. L. E. M., Tarrus Riley experiments with different sounds — from dancehall to Afro Beat and pop. And he got help from some friends. Released June 14, the six-song B.L.E.M. is produced by IzyBeats, a Miami-based Jamaican who did similar duties on Koffee’s monster hit song, Toast. B.L.E.M. is acronym for Blending Life’s Experiences Musically.
