OLDIES SUNDAY: Conky – Sweet Mother (1978)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today is for the Mom, Mama, Mommy, Ma, Grandma, Auntie, and Mother. It’s Mother’s Day on “Oldies Sunday“, and we send a shout out to them all. Today’s selection comes from the late Calypsonian, Mighty Conqueror a.k.a. Conky with the track, “Sweet Mother“.

Arranged by Art De Couteau, “Sweet Mother” was released in 1978 through the Jumbo Caribbean Disco label. Conky’s track was a cover of Cameroonian/Nigerian Singer Prince Nico Mbarga’s mega popular track that was released in 1976. The song speaks of a person’s gratitude towards their Mother as she has been there for them in every stage of life. Even when she’s not physically present, a Mother and her love are not forgotten in the heart of her Child. Conky’s version of “Sweet Mother” was a popular track in the Caribbean, and was highlighted yearly in some Islands including his home of Trinidad & Tobago. Celebrate your Mom today, and every day of the year.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

Tenor Saw’s “On Top Of The World” Sampled In @GhostfaceKillah’s “Champion Sound”

Posted on by swadedavillain

When Dancehall meets Hip Hop, it’s always a vibe. Recently, Hip Hop legend and member of the iconic Wutang Clan Ghostface Killah released his latest album, “Set The Tone“. The album is the Rapper’s 12th solo studio release, and it features a number of big names, and he taps into new and familiar sounds. One of the familiar sounds dates back to the 1980s, and it highlights one of Dancehall’s classic Vocalists.

On the track “Champion Sound” off of Ghostface Killah’s “Set The Tone” album, the late Tenor Saw’s “On Top Of The World” was sampled. The track was made as a Dubplate for the Stereo Mars Sound System, which was owned by Businessman Kenneth Black a.k.a. “Skeng Don“, and was played at a PNP (The People’s National Party) Rally in 1986. Tenor Saw had a successful music career in the 1980s and was one of the most influential voices in the early digital Reggae/Dancehall era, but his potential and life was cut short in 1988. “Champion Sound” was produced by Ghostface and Danny Caiazzo, and features US-based Dancehall Artist Beniton, who holds his own alongside the New York Hip Hop legend. Ghostface Killah’s “Set The Tone” album is out now.

Teejay’s “Drift” Single & Dance Featured In Popular @FortniteGame Series

Posted on by swadedavillain

Gamers unite! There’s nothing like kicking back and enjoying a few hours of Video Games. While some may have other opinions on gaming and gamers, we don’t want to hear all that, just turn up the volume. If you’re a lover of Dancehall, then stick around for this. Recently, popular online gaming series “Fortnite” gave users a few new updates that included new skins, weapons, music, and Emotes, and music from Dancehall Artist Teejay was included in the new update.

Teejay’s 2023 hit single “Drift” was featured in the latest update of the popular “Fortnite” gaming series. Produced by DJ Mac/ProdByPanda, “Drift” placed the Deejay on another level. From the “Drift Challenge” on TikTok, to remixes, to a label deal with Warner Bros., “Drift” becoming a part of the soundtrack for “Fortnite” just extended its shelf life. In addition to the single, an “Emote” (an action or series of animated actions done by a gamer’s in-game avatar) was created to perform the popular “Drift” dance by any character that possesses it. The dance was created by Gabbidon, and is a huge look for the Jamaican Dancing community, Dancehall, and the Video Game Industry as this can open up even more doors for Caribbean Artists. “Drift” was featured on Teejay’s “I Am Chippy” EP, and gained cosigns by a number of local and International personalities. “Fortnite” was developed by Epic Games, and is free to download on all popular console game platforms along with Windows, Android, and MacOS/iOS (despite an ongoing court battle between Apple and Epic Games).

Grateful is packing up and embracing peace. “No Horn” is featured on the “Progressive Road Riddim“, and you can expect even more music from him leading up to the Crop Over events this Summer.

Get Ready To Jab Jab With Temptress’ “Crocus Bag”

Posted on by swadedavillain

SpiceMas is in the air, and the people are ready to revel in it. Grenada has always been a powerhouse for some great music, and when it comes to Carnival, they do not disappoint. Enter Temptress, the 2023 Grenada Road March winner and the Queen of Jab Jab, and she’s ready to take on the road with the video for the single, “Crocus Bag“.

Directed by Man Of Viizion and shot in La Fillette, St. Andrew, one of the hotspots for Grenadian Jab Jab culture, Temptress and her crew are blacked out, horned up, and are ready to put everything in the bag in the visual for “Crocus Bag”. Temptress brings the energy here, and makes for one of the tunes for SpiceMas 2024 that will get everyone pumped up. “Crocus Bag” was produced by Jambalasee Grenada Muzik on the “Coals Dust Riddim“. For those unfamiliar, the Jab Jab culture is a celebration of freedom from hardships that’s unique to the Island of Grenada, and dates back to the days of slavery as slaves rebelled against the Carnival celebrations by the whites and plantation owners. “Jab Jab” is French Creole for “devil“, and the costumes/make up of black oil/molasses/black paint worn depict an interpretation of the Devil, and is not to be confused with the worship of such (and we know how people are…). Get ready to put everything in the Crocus Bag when you hit the road.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recording Artist/Musician/Producer Kris-Karz is back with new music. Fresh from a short hiatus, Karz looks to stay consistent with new content, reconnect with old listeners, and solidify new relationships. His return brings out a new focus, and he makes things interesting with the release of, “Gush“.

The self-produced “Gush” single was released through Kngly Studios, and Kris-Karz aims to have the attention of the ladies for this one. He sets the tone with the opener, “Get sexy to this…“, and from there, it’s all about breaking the tensions, things getting hot and heavy, moans, and dirty talk. When it’s all over, there will be pillow talk, blown minds, and whatever stress that was there before, will cease to exist. Kris-Karz has been catering to the ladies with his selection of tunes over time, and we can expect “Gush” to make waves (pun intended maybe?) in the coming weeks and months. We encourage you to reach out to your favourite DJ or Radio platform to keep this one in rotation. Ladies are encouraged to make videos dancing to, lip-syncing to, and being sexy to the new single. Be on the look out for content in support of “Gush”, and more offerings from the US-based Recording Artist/Musician/Producer. If you haven’t been familiar with Kris-Karz, click here.

When it comes to hustling, it’s all about Dollars and Cents. Anything outside of that doesn’t make sense. However you earn your bread is up to you as you ensure that things are taken care of. Upcoming Montego Bay-based Dancehall Artist Smiiley YS knows the importance of that, and he utilizes the means that are provided to get his. He steps out with the video for his new single, “Euro“.

“Euro” was done on the “Chakka Riddim” which was produced by DJ Mac/Crash Dummy and released through Young Step Music (Mixed by Tip God Music), Smiiley YS is all about getting to the money by any means. To get to the level where you’re “stink with the money” is not an easy feat, but faith can move mountains, fill pockets, and keep Bank accounts happy. It may be a lot of work, but he shares some of the benefits that come with his success as well. “Euro” was released in the early part of April, and has been getting positive feedback since. He followed up with a Music Video that was directed by Divine Global Production, and it’s all about the money, the Women, and upgrades to the wardrobe. Many individuals come from impoverished areas with difficult upbringings, so when the opportunity to get rich is available, there’s no turning back as a better life to live is out there for them. Smiiley YS may be new to the scene for some, but he is working on becoming an overall better Artist, and one to pay attention to. Time to make money.

Posted on by swadedavillain

This post is dedicated to a Mother, a sister, a very unique talent, and a friend. She was born Shaneika Martin, but the music scene first knew her as “Shie“, then later on, Rhiya Luna. We lost this dear individual on March 2 after a long battle with Illness, and it has really left a dark cloud over many who received the news. She was a longtime friend and supporter of this platform, and she was destined to do great things. It’s never easy when you lose a loved one, and one can only keep their memory alive through previous interactions, and their works and hobbies. Today, we pay tribute to Rhiya Luna with a tribute Playlist titled, “Long Live Rhiya Luna“.

For over an hour, listeners can tune in to some of the tracks that Rhiya Luna shared with the world over the years. From Dancehall singles, to R&B and Pop-inspired tracks, to songs with positive messages, she was on her way to doing even more, but life had other plans. She got to share the stage with some great talent, and when there were doubts, she was backed by many who truly believed in her and wanted to see her win. She leaves behind a family who will honour her name, and listeners like us will ensure that the people heard her. Long live Rhiya Luna, sleep well my friend ❤️.

Posted on by swadedavillain

King Cruff returns with new tings! After stepping out with “FallBack” recently with Runkus, he has been busy doing promotional runs, taking over stages, and building his brand. We chopped it up with him recently (now available here), and he shared that it’s “Cruff SZN“, and we’ll be getting plenty content throughout the year. Today’s a new day in “Cruff SZN”, and the new track is called, “LINGO“.

Produced by Aditya Eswar and featuring Nigerian-Canadian Artist Solo YT, King Cruff is aiming for the ladies with “LINGO”. Everybody needs somebody, but they have to come correct because there won’t be any begging for time, tolerance for bad energy, and no time to be treated like an option. In other words, we have to speak to same language, so let’s talk in our lingo. King Cruff delivers his message in a great way over Afrobeats-inspired production, and Solo YT steps in with a style that greatly compliments the track. Expect “LINGO” to find its way into plenty speakers in the coming days, and may just be an early contender for a Summer 2024 hit. Another Tuff Gong Collective release! Enjoy the SZN, more music on the way!

.@KingCruff Takes His Music To New Levels With @RunkusInno-Featured, “FallBack”

Posted on by swadedavillain

2023 was the warmup for King Cruff, and 2024 will be the championship round! After scoring big with the StoneBwoy and Jag.Huligan-featured “SHEDOENEED“, Cruff has become quite the commodity in the months that followed. From Interviews to live performances, things have climbed a few levels in the months that followed. The Tuff Gong Collective/UMusic signee is charged up, so prepare to be thrilled with the release of, “Fallback“.

Teaming up with Recording Artist Runkus, King Cruff gives us “Heartbreak Dancehall” on “Fallback”. They deal with Women who love them like the seasons, and they deal with her accordingly. Over smooth production by Banx & Ranx, Runkus handles hook duties in his signature way while Cruff shares the saga. Great combination aside, the track is accompanied by music video directed by Kit Weyman, and it gives us the feeling of a Horror movie (Think Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”, but shot in Jamaica). The video not only features the Artists, but the beautiful leading ladies Roginea Dixon, Annaje, and Smiles Buchanan, and parts of Jamaica including the famous Bob Marley Beach (Which has been included in a series of topics and petitions where it needs to be protected, and allowed free public access). “Fallback” is expected to become one of the big hits for the year, and we expect it to become one that is widely loved on Social Media.

GyalKapone Stays Locked & Loaded On “Syko”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recording Artist/Creative GyalKapone returns with new music! Still new to the field, she’s still developing and working her way to becoming a name to know. She has been recording, and is ready to take on the world! She recently released her new single, “Syko“.

Produced by Jingo Hol On Deh, GyalKapone goes into “John Wick” mode her as she’s out for blood. Locked and loaded, she has a few rounds for those who dare to step in her way with an intention to bring harm. Backed by good production and a melodic delivery, GyalKapone makes her “Syko” lyrics hit hard, so wear a vest and brace for the impact. She first came on the scene with “Never“, then followed up with “Mission” and “Mission (Remix)“, and even launched the “Enz Off Podcast“. While it’s too early to ask for a project, we believe GyalKapone’s breakout moment is just around the corner. If you haven’t been familiar with her yet, today is the day that changes.

Jamaican Software Developer Turns Classic Card Game “Strip Me” Into New App!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Growing up in the Caribbean, playing outside was the order of the day. Before the advent of the Internet as we know it, ring games, sports, and many other activities would dominate a child’s life, and would be remembered fondly. With the increase of technology, many of our pastimes have been fading away from regular use, and online activities have taken over. While many would show their displeasure, Jamaican Software Developer Kenardo Smith takes utilizes the power of modern Tech to incorporate some of our favourite pastimes. On January 16, he launched his latest App called, “Two Of Cards”!

“Two Of Cards” is the latest Caribbean gaming App developed by Kenardo Smith through K.I.S.S. Games. The App follows up Smith’s “ABC Fast Or Slow”, which was released in January 2020, and was widely success as it gained thousands of downloads between the iOS and Android platforms, and received praises on Social Media, and on 13thStreetPromotions.com, and TheDigitalJamaica.com. “Two Of Cards” is the digital version of the “Strip Me” card game from Jamaica, or the “Suck The Well” card game from Barbados and Trinidad & Tobago, and requires two players alternatively playing various cards with one having the better card, and the other rewarding that player till either party’s hand is empty, deeming the rewarded the victor.

 “Two Of Cards” is a Freeminum App, which means it’s ad-supported, and offers in-app purchases that will enhance the user’s experience. The App is available on iOS, MacOS, and Android platforms, requiring users to have iOS 11.0 and up, MacOS 11.0 or later, or Android OS 5.0 or later installed on their respective devices. Kenardo Smith will be updating the game through a series of App updates in the future.
