Ai Milly Delivers More TrapSoul With “Need U More”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Ai Milly continues to drop music for the “purple dem“. The ladies are making requests, and he’s taking a break from the fast life to fulfill them. His style of “Trapsoul” never misses, and he recently dropped the new single, “Need U More“.

Produced by Stewy Don/ConniEntGroup/Meinz Records, Ai Milly knows the ladies need him, but he needs them even more in, “Need U More”. The Deejay brings melodies (and a little Kate Bush inspiration) here, and speaks on seeing the benefits of having that one great Woman, to be with when the times are good and crazy, and for those cold nights as opposed to going back to the life with many. In the end, he’s making the kind of music that the ladies will be keeping in regular rotation. Maybe it’s time for “PGLT Vol. 2” to get them going again. Ai Milly keeps the studio busy, so expect even more tunes in the coming days. Once again, this a fi di purple dem.

Posted on by swadedavillain

He has shot and directed videos for some of your favourite Artists, and for a while has been working on his own music. He describes himself as a Rockstar, but you know him as 1YoungElvis. In between controlling the visuals, he’s bringing the party vibes with, “Paper“.

The self-directed Visualizer shows 1YoungElvis in his element, while he drops lyrics about the Women, the money, and the fast life in, “Paper”. Shot around his community, he gives us his rockstar image throughout, while performing his track. The multi-faceted Creative shows that he’s more than a Music Video Director, and for a while has been releasing a number of singles. For those who need something to get you pumped up before stepping into the party, “Paper” may just be what you need. With a vibe like this, it could make room for a remix. Any takers?

Rytikal Is On To “Top Tier” Moves

Posted on by swadedavillain

Dancehall Artist Rytikal has been leveling up, and he’s working hard to keep it that way. The Deejay has secured International collaborations, and is onboard to taking his music to even more places around the world. He has made it to the “Top Tier” side of things.

Directed by Rojhay Anderson, Rytikal connects with his people in the video for, “Top Tier”. Produced by TrueLoyal Records, the Deejay reflects on times when he had nothing, and despite having success, he still deals with people who don’t wish the best for him. The video finds him linking up with Vaga (of TrueLoyal Records), signing contracts, taking to the hills to reflect, and appreciate where he is now. The Deejay recently collaborated with Latin Music giant J Balvin, and with the summer coming up, we can expect him hitting the road in a major way.

.@PopcaanMusic Lives A Life That’s “Lavish And Madish”

Posted on by swadedavillain

To say Popcaan is successful is an understatement. Since his breakout at the end of the 2000s, he has connected with the right people, and elevated his music career, and finances. Being broke is definitely a thing of the past for him. Right now, he’s living “Lavish And Madish“.

Produced by Droptop Records/Unruly Ent., Popcaan is where he needs to be, with success beyond measure in, “Lavish And Madish”. From getting Millions, to running the place, he’s in a good place right now. “Lavish” is just one of a number of singles he has released recently, and best believe he has more to drop before summer. Outside of the Studio, he has been living it up in Jamaica, and even in Ghana where he was crowned sub-Chief, and bestowed the title, “Nana Okofo Akro Kese“. The life he’s living was years in the making, and took a lot of work. Respect the “Unruly Boss“.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Little Lenny – Gun In A Baggy (1989)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Dancehall Music has always been a genre that showcases the ups, the downs, the success, the struggles, and the observations of everyday life. Sometimes, it can shed light on serious topics, even in a way that is easily digestible to the public. On “Oldies Sunday“, we highlight a song that is both serious, and hilarious. We go back in time to check out Little Lenny’s “Gun In A Baggy“.

Produced by Little Kirk and Patrick Roberts for the Shocking Vibes label and released in 1989, Little Lenny taps into the importance of your sexual health in, “Gun In A Baggy”. The song speaks about a Woman who has contracted a Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI), and while she is very desirable and attractive, she has a trail of victims in her path. Lenny warns her, and other Women who have contracted STIs to seek professional help, and not allow others contract them as well. The delivery is hilarious as the STI is referred to as a “gun“, and the carrier “shoots” their victims with it through unprotected sex.

Sometimes we have to turn a serious thing into a joking matter, and “Gun In A Baggy” quickly became a hit for the Deejay, and was also caused controversy as Little Lenny was known for music that was termed “slack“, and mostly for adults consumption. The track was featured on Lenny’s 1990 debut album of the same name, and was often paired with the follow up track “Healthy Body“, that complimented a Woman’s body. “Gun In A Baggy” was also featured on the soundtrack for the 2004 Comedy Thriller, “Club Dread” that starred Bill Paxton, and directed by Jay Chandrasekhar (of “Super Troopers” fame).

Since the release of “Gun In A Baggy”, Little Lenny went on to release more music in the 90s, and the early 2000s. He makes appearances here and there, and records Dubplates of his hits often, including “Gun In A Baggy”. The track remains one of his most popular releases.

THANK YOU LITTLE LENNY FOR THIS CLASSIC!

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.

“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.
