St. John’s, Antigua — Local powerhouse Peetron Thomas has once again raised the bar with his electrifying new single You Can’t Stop Me, a bold declaration of strength, purpose, and unstoppable drive. The high-energy anthem, already making waves on YouTube, is the latest release from his upcoming album Work Fu Um—a music project inspired by his groundbreaking motivational book of the same name. “Once you BELIEVE in YOURSELF… you can ACHIEVE it!” That’s the message echoing through Peetron’s soul-stirring lyrics. The track encourages listeners to keep trying, keep believing, and never give up—no matter what obstacles come their way. With a sound that fuses hard-hitting beats and inspiring bars, Peetron delivers a motivational banger that’s as fiery as it is uplifting. Produced by the talented Island Trap, You Can’t Stop Me combines dynamic lyricism with a vibrant Caribbean trap flavor, staying true to Peetron’s Antiguan roots while reaching global heights. From the very first verse, it’s clear—this song isn’t just a track; it’s a movement. “It’s more than music,” Peetron shared. “It’s a mindset. This track is for the dreamers, the grinders, and everyone who’s ever been told they’re not enough. I’m here to say: you are enough. And no one can stop you when you know your worth.” The song speaks to tradespeople, creatives, students, entrepreneurs—anyone on the grind. It’s an anthem for those who hustle with purpose, reminding them that hard work plus belief equals results. You Can’t Stop Me is just a taste of what’s to come in the Work Fu Um album, set to drop later this year. The album will be a musical extension of Peetron’s motivational philosophy—merging sound and substance, passion and purpose.

Come and be part of this powerful moment in gospel music history. Hamilton, NJ. - Almost every day our nation is being rocked with another shooting of a child. Another murder. Another killing. “There’s a war going in our streets, and something must be done about it,” warned Grammy Award winning Songwriter & soulful Gospel singer, Lady Peachena. She wrote and recorded “Not Another Child” with her then-church’s children’s choir, Love Fellowship Tabernacle’s Kingdom Kid’s Choir, after Andrell Daron Napper, (a 21-year old church member) was shot and killed while waiting for his cousin at the Marcy Projects in Brooklyn, NY, in 2006.
Now, a decade later, Lady Peachena, is again releasing “Not Another Child,” as a CD single on Feb. 14, 2025, in hopes of persuading youths and adults not to resort to violence when there’s a misunderstanding, or a conflict. “Not Another Child” features Jeniyah Eure, Lady Peachena’s granddaughter, singing a mournful plea at the beginning of the song. “Not Another Child” can be downloaded now at: http://www.amazon.com. This powerful anti-violence ballad is track #1 on Lady Peachena's 4th solo inspirational CD, DIVINE RESTORATION, which is also available at Amazon. Lady Peachena chose the title, “Not Another Child” after Ms. Napper-Williams, Andrell Daron Napper's mother, used it to create a support group for victims of gun violence.

Lady Peachena is also the founder/manager of the famed Late Show's Gospel Choir who's celebrating their 30th Anniversary of taking Gospel music around the world.
