 Kingston, Jamaica: - 5th Element Recording artiste Richie Spice is currently touring the US to promote his second album. On Tuesday February 20, 5th Element Records in association with VP Records released 'In the Streets to Africa' to rave reviews. The March 2007 issue of Playboy Magazine gave it 4 stars saying, "...Spice offers an exception to the slackness and hyperactivity of dancehall. One of the best roots releases in years."
Promoting 'In the Streets to Africa' Spice performed at Zanzibar in Washington DC to a crowd of over 1000 on Friday February 16 and the Raggamuffin Festival on Long Beach in Los Angeles, California for over 10,000 people the following day. At the Raggamuffin Festival the crowd delighted as Spice crooned out such hits as 'Blood Again', 'Earth Ah Run Read', 'Brown Skin', 'Groovin My Girl', 'In the Streets', 'High Grade' and 'Marijuana'. The crowd insisted on an encore and Spice came back and completed 'Marijuana' and finished with 'Take It Easy'.
On Tuesday, February 20, Spice had an in store appearance at the FYE in Torrence, LA. Where hundreds of fans waited patiently for a chance to have Spice sign their copy of 'In the Streets to Africa'. Spice then travels to New York for more in store promotions and to appear at Irie Jam (23 Feb) and Caribbean Culture Week (24 Feb). He then jets off to Grenada to perform at Tempo's 'Got Tempo' at the drive in cinema on March 3rd.
'In the Streets to Africa' has a life affirming, empowering tone, which is established on the opening track 'Get Up' which urges listeners to "rise...stand up...clean up your heart and come." Spice then follows with 'Open The Door' produced by New York Hot 97's Bobby Konders. Track 3:'Youth Dem Cold' peaked at number 59 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart in 2005. Track 4: 'Babylon a Gwaan', Track 5: 'Digital Ways' featuring Culture, Track 6: 'Sunny Day', Track 7: 'Baby Face' featuring Spanner Banner and Pliers, Track 8: 'Uptown Girl', Track 9: Spice's current hit 'Brown Skin' produced by Donovan 'Don Corleon' Bennett, Track 10: the classic 'Groovin My Girl', Track 11: 'High Grade', Track 12: 'Mind Off Of Me', Track 13: 'Take It Easy', Track 14: 'Can't Stop Loving Jah', Track 15: 'Motherland Calling'.
The title of the album highlights the struggles as well as the business options that are available within the African continent. Spice plans to tour Africa for the first time in 2007. The righteous artiste will be back home March 11.

Bwoy, yeah, In the Streets to Africa, wicked piece of music, track 3 Youth dem Cold, fi real im in agreement wid di earlier comment bout the yutes dem need righteous leadership, guidance is needed, whether from di parents or Government, in da UK the education system is, i think designed to hold certain people down, but on sayin dat, di whole of the system is designed for certain people to be at da top, dutty babylon wid there lies, mi nah see no righteousness from dem, if di people dat are at di top cyaan tell the trute den how di yutes dem meant to believe what there told, dem need to,track 2 Open the door, all i man haffi say on dat 1. The lyric "if education is the key why do the bigger heads make it so expensive for wi", mi nah have no knowledge of the Jamaican education system, but i guess its a little like in African countries and you haffi pay fi di pikne dem to go to school, In the Uk wi haffi pay our taxes then the so called education "system", is paid for, yuh no what its a Bollocks as turbulence would say, so how come if wi haffi pay these taxes dat in part pay for the so called education "system", then how come Sainsbury and Walkers crisps do things like computers and books for school, it makes the so called taxation "system" look like joke. But on sayin that its all Babylon System, they want to fuck us all, it nah matter where yuh from, unless yuh born wid a silver spoon in ya mout. track 5 Digital ways, tracks 7. Baby Face, gotta go for now will add to this later
