Raytid Returns With “Likkle Miss Baddie”

Posted on by swadedavillain

11 years ago, Dancehall Artist Raytid scorched the scene with the single, “Blah Daff“. The Jay Crazie-produced track gave the Deejay a lot of ground to cover, and brought his name to various parts of the world. He followed up with more singles over time, and maintained a presence. In 2026, he returns to the scene with, “Likkle Miss Baddie“.

Produced by Sky Team Record/Juzwun Music, Raytid calls the ladies out in, “Likkle Miss Baddie”. His first release since 2024 brings a lot of energy, and will have the ladies looking to take over the spotlight. The single aims to bring out a Woman’s confidence, and make the right contribution to the party scene as the ladies demand more “Gyal Tunes“. “Likkle Miss Baddie” is followed by a music video that shows off the ladies getting on bad, and promoting high energy all around. Something for the top tier girls. Good to see Raytid on the scene, here’s to more music in the coming months.

Get Familiar With Producer Steel Chest In New Short Film

Posted on by swadedavillain

The Parish of Manchester has been a hotbed for plenty of talent for decades. Over the years, a number of Producers have been steadily making their names be known, with Sanjay Norman a.k.a. Steel Chest being one of them. Since the early 2010s, Steel Chest has been steering his Ship named “Outta Space Records“, providing sounds for local talent, and Artists on the rise outside of the Parish. The label would soon change its name to “Steel Chest Records“, and become a driving force for some of the newer crop of Artists who have been gaining attention thanks to Social Media. Ahead of his birthday (October 18), we share with you, “Steel Chest – A Short Film“.

Shot at his Steel Chest Studio in Manchester, we caught up with the Producer to learn about his history, switching careers to pursue music, believing in the youth, what drives him to make music, and some of the names he has worked with. Steel Chest’s name has been mentioned by some of the best in the business, and today many of you will put the face to the name. Keep watching to hear what he’s cooking up as well. 2026 has been good to the Producer, and he’s ready for the next level.

.@Digga_CGM Goes Retro Dancehall For “Girls All Around The World”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Sometimes when you’re in the midst of some tension, instead facing it with anger, you approach with a smile. Sounds crazy, but that’s what UK Artist Digga did recently. Facing beef with fellow Artist Morrison, he channeled energy that could’ve been used for something drastic, into something fun for everyone. What is it? It’s his new released called, “Girls All Around The World“.

Produced by OhNine and ProdBy6aby and sampling King Jammy’s “I Know The Score Riddim/Mean Girl Riddim“, Digga does his own form of trolling during a beef with Morrison, which resulted in, “Girls All Around The World”. A few days ago, Morrison sent a slew of disses for the Rapper, with one making fun of him leaning into Dancehall Music (as evidenced by his recent collabs with Masicka and Malie Donn). Digga acknowledged the disses by creating a Dancehall song for the ladies to throw off things. Previews of the song quickly went viral on Social Media, with fans asking for the official release. A follow up video was made that was directed by AN Films, and it finds Digga enjoying outside with the ladies. With the song’s growing popularity, it may cover more ground than the diss track, or be a part of a sneak attack. Sometimes, it’s not all about fighting fire with fire. One must be strategic when dealing with the enemy. Anyway, we got new vibes for the weekend. Tune in!

.@ArmaniiMusiq Deals With Uncertainties In “Second Choice”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Relationships have good times, and bad times. Some say take the bitter with the sweet, others say jump off the second it goes bad. In the end, we all want something that means us well. Recording Artist Armanii knows he wants the right person, but he doesn’t want to be a fool. He shares his thoughts in, “Second Choice“.

Produced by Sartout Records, Armanii grabs some wine, and has an honest conversation with his love interest in, “Second Choice”. Being in a relationship is good and all, but if you weren’t your partner’s first choice, things will unravel in a negative way. Nobody wants to be the runner up or be the “just in case” person, and he expresses that he will walk away before ever being seen in that light. With an accompanying music video, the convo finds Armanii having the convo over wine with his lady, before we get a performance bit in the end. Look out for a new project from Armanii hitting the streams in a few weeks.

.@YvngEv Takes Inspiration From The Caribbean For New Music, Releases “Too Experienced”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Brooklyn-based Recording Artist Yvng Ev understands how important it is to know your roots. Having Jamaican parentage helped to shape a lot of things in his life, especially the music. While he taps into R&B, when there’s a dash of Island sounds in it, the world gets a product that goes far. Over the past few months, he has drawn inspiration from Dancehall and Reggae hits for a number of his own creations, and they have been catching on.

In 2025, Yvng Ev released, “Easy Gyal“. Produced by AusGod, Ev sings about getting caught up with a Woman who is hard to resist. Sampling Wayne Wonder’s “No Letting Go” from 2002, the track was featured on his “Trench Town Love” EP. The EP would also feature a sample of Vincentian Artist Kevin Lyttle’s “Turn Me On” from 2003 on “Good Sex & Ganja“. Come July 2026, returned with “Tight Up Skirt“, and as the title suggests, he sampled Red Rat’s 1997 hit single. The track would be taken down soon after due to sample clearances. Despite that, August 2026 would find him tapping into a sample of Bitty Mclean’s “Walk Away From Love” from 2004 for the single, “Don’t Love You“, and then followed up with “Too Experienced“. “Too Experienced” was co-produced with Dexter Yu, and sampled Barrington Levy’s 1990 classic single of the same name. Ev has been enjoying some Social Media love for his releases, with users requesting more. Not sticking to one style, he looks to expand his sound in the future, and with the right backing, get some sample clearances out of the way.

The Drama Intensifies In Elephant Man’s “Eyelash” Video

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recently, Dancehall Artist Elephant Man released the single, “Eyelash“. Since then, the air in many households got tense, with arguments flying left and right. All is not well, and the drama continues with the music video for the single.

Directed by Rojhay Anderson and featuring Social Media personalities Deeman and Bad Sekki, Elephant Man is trying to set things straight while the drama unfolds in, “Eyelash”. While many Men believe in having multiple partners, when one partner decides that she wants a bigger role, things will be done to start fights, with the hopes of them becoming the main one, or the disrupter. The three Men experience their own situations in the clip, and may have struck a nerve with many viewers. Good to see the current batch of Social Media personalities showing up in content with Elephant Man, and we know there will be more of it in the future. Shukkle Buss says be careful out there.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Dave And Ansell Collins – Double Barrel (1970)

Posted on by swadedavillain

For today’s “Oldies Sunday” selection, we feature a song that you have heard before, in a number of ways. Today, we go back in time to check out Dave And Ansell Collins’ “Double Barrel“.

Produced by Winston Riley and released through the Techniques Label in 1970, Dave And Ansell Collins delivers what could be called a theme song for British Spy James Bond in, “Double Barrel”. The track is mostly an Instrumental with Dave (Dave Barker) performing a series of ad-libs and chants. The aforementioned James Bond was an inspiration behind recording the track, and was done in one take. The production featured the first appearance on record of a young Drummer by the name of Sly Dunbar, who would go on to create History. “Double Barrel” was a hit for Dave and Ansell, and was the second Reggae song to top the UK Singles Chart. It also went to #1 in Mexico and The Netherlands, and sold 300,000 copies after only 33 Radio plays in the UK. “Double Barrel” was sampled numerous times over the years, and is one of the most sampled songs of all time, featured on releases from Kanye West, Special Ed, Slick Rick, MadLib, Biz Markie, Prince, The Alchemist, and even Fast Food giant Arby’s.

Check out our special “Double Barrel” Playlist here.

Since the release of “Double Barrel”, Dave And Ansell Collins went on to release more music together before parting ways after the release of their 1971 album also named, “Double Barrel” (3 more albums were released, 2 in the 70s and 1 in the 90s, but were just collections of previously-released music, and were not deemed official albums by the duo). They unsuccessfully made a comeback in the 80s, but fell back into solo work. Fun fact: Reggae Artist I-Wayne was raised by Ansell Collins, who was married to Wayne’s Aunt. “Double Barrel” remains Dave And Ansell Collins’ most successful release.

THANK YOU DAVE AND ANSELL COLLINS FOR THIS HIT!

The “Signs And The Times” Are Getting Dread According To JahBradez

Posted on by swadedavillain

Over 20 years ago, Richie Spice said, “In the streets it’s getting hot, and the yute dem a get so cold…“, and years later the story hasn’t changed. When resources are few, and the quality of life hasn’t improved, there will be a few who will go out and get it by any means. These times are dread, and Reggae Artist/Musician JahBradez shares his feelings about this in the new single, “Signs And The Times“.

Produced by N’namdi Robinson and Oliver Thompson, JahBradez shares his observations in, “Signs And The Times”. The days aren’t always the happiest, and the youth in the streets are losing hope for better. While the Artist encourages them to get their education or learn a trade, they’d rather grab the guns or the phones, and be a part of the criminal underworld to get to the money. These things don’t just happen, some have tried various outlets, some tried to be positive during the dark times, others, did the right things, and still were met with impoverished living, higher cost of living, oppression in various forms, and lack of encouragement from people they’ve looked up to. JahBradez uses his platform to spread positivity, and show the youth that there is a better way once they see the light. It’s hard out there, and the Artist is doing his part with the music to deliver powerful messages over great production. JahBradez looks to hit the streets with “Signs And The Times”, with live performances and specialized content in the works.

Nitty Zulu Keeps A “Bad B****” Nearby In New Release

Posted on by swadedavillain

Every Gangsta needs a Queen by his side, but that Queen has to also be a bad gyal. When times are good, she presents some of her best features, but when times are serious, she must know how to handle business. Dancehall/Hip Hop Artist Nitty Zulu always needs his Queen, and she must be down for whatever. He speaks about it in his new release called, “Bad B****“.

Produced by Clippings Production, released through Akan Tribe Records/Heavy On The Neighborhood and featuring Dancehall Artists Amerto and Nuru, Nitty Zulu calls for a bad gyal to be by his side in, “Bad B****”. The streets do get hot, and everyone’s role is important. When a bad gyal is in the lineup, she ensures that her moves allow the team to get the upper hand. She comes with beauty and sex appeal, but has a lot of badness, sometimes even more than the leader. She can look her best from the outfit to the makeup, but she can keep the necessary tools in her possession as well. The track is followed by a music video directed by New Gen, and Nitty, Amerto, the ladies, and the rest of the crew hit the streets to perform the track. Nitty Zulu looks to hit the streets running with a number of new singles, and with his Akan Tribe Records, he’s ready to setup his own lane on the scene, producing new sounds, Artists, and movements. Get familiar.

We Look Back At King Jammys’ “Sleng Teng Riddim” In Our Throwback Playlist Series

Posted on by swadedavillain


In 1985, a Jamaican Producer by the name of Lloyd James o/c King Jammys would change the landscape in Jamaican music forever. Armed with a Casio MT-40 and the MT-40 Rock Rhythm, he would create the “Sleng Teng Riddim“. Widely regarded as the first “Digital Riddim“, the Riddim would make its debut with Dancehall Artist Wayne Smith’s “Under Mi Sleng Teng“. Over 40 years later, the Riddim would gain attention with the release of Sean Paul’s “Stand On Business“, celebrating the Riddim’s historic achievement, and further solidifying King Jammys’ contributions to the culture. Did you know it was even sampled in a video game? Today, we show love to the Riddim in our “#13thStreetThrowback” Playlist series.

Featuring over 60 tracks, we take you time traveling to the various eras where the “Sleng Teng Riddim” dominated. We have the original version, the John John version, the “Godfather Riddim“, the samples, and more. From Wayne Smith’s classic, to many others by the likes of Tenor Saw, Super Cat, Johnny Osbourne, Sugar Minott, and more. There are many Riddims, and the “Sleng Teng Riddim” remains an uncontested classic.

Competition was brewing on the Island as well, as there were Artists who believed they could take The Beatles’ place including The Zodiacs, who were once propelled to be a threat to the group in the media. Today, the music is still respected, and tributes from some of your favourite Artists have been performed and recorded. For our latest Playlist, we share the many times Jamaicans covered The Beatles.

We Pay Tribute To Jimmy Cliff With New “Sampling” Playlist

Posted on by swadedavillain

On November 24 2025, the world mourned the loss of one of Reggae’s most legendary Ambassadors, Jimmy Cliff. One of the pioneering Artists of the genre, he took Reggae to places that have never heard of it, and solidified himself as one of Jamaica’s true Rockstars. He scored big in music, and in Film, and has influenced generations. Despite him not being here physically, his musical legacy, name, and family live on. We send our condolences to his family at this time. We pay tribute to the Icon with our latest Playlist, “Sampling Jimmy Cliff“.

While Jimmy Cliff’s catalogue has been off limits in the case of sampling, there were a few Artists who were allowed a chance to, who then managed to treat the music with respect, and paid tribute through their own creations. Featuring the likes of Rebel MC, Cutty Ranks, FatBoy Slim, Afroman, and Kris Kross Amsterdam, you can tune in to some of the sampled works, and the original hits from Dr. Cliff himself. If you aren’t familiar with our Playlist selections, check them out here. Thank you Jimmy Cliff for your work and life, and may you continue inspiring many for years to come. Sleep well, legend.

We Pay Tribute To The Late Rhiya Luna In Our Latest Playlist

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 ❤️.

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. 

“Two Of Cards” is now available in the Google Play Store, and the Mac and iOS App Stores. For more information on the game and more, visit KissGames658.com, and follow @TwoOfCards on Instagram. Show us some love/follow us on Twitter and Instagram at @13thStreetPromo.
