Nigy Boy & @WhoIsKaylan Bring Smooth Sounds In “We Belong Together”

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s a new week, and you can start it with love. What better way to usher in the love than to release new music? Nigy Boy is here to make even more happen this year, and is working on taking over the summer. He’s in a loving mood, and he released the new single, “We Belong Together“.

Produced by Silly Walks Disco on the “Double Trouble Riddim” and featuring US-based Recording Artist Kaylan Arnold, Nigy Boy is all about that love that is as important as air and water in, “We Belong Together”. The Singers are great with words, but when it comes to that special person, they get tongue-tied, and are overwhelmed with the love that is present. The easy-going track finds the duo at some of their best, and for the couples building and maintaining their love, this track is the right choice. They come together for a fun visual directed by Mirko Polo, and we look forward to them performing this live in the future. Silly Walks knocked it out the park with this one.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Sasha & Turbulence – We Got The Love (2005)

Posted on by swadedavillain

June is coming to a close, but we had one more song for those who have a Wedding Playlist in mind. Love is all “Oldies Sunday” brings, and we can say with confidence that Jamaican Artists make some great love songs. Today, we go back in time to check out Sasha and Turbulence’s “We Got The Love“.

Produced by Mikey Bennett on the “My Friends Riddim” and released in 2005 through VP Records, Sasha and Turbulence not only promoted that authentic love, but celebrated their own love story in, “We Got The Love” (also known as “We Have Got Love“). Both Artists were an item at the time, and have released a number of singles together. “We Got The Love” helped to propel their respective brands, and it became a hit. The single would go on to be included in Sasha’s debut album “Sexy Body Sasha“, but the album was later shelved.

Since the release of “We Got The Love”, Sasha and Turbulence would go on to build their respective careers. Their relationship would fall apart soon after the single’s release, but they remained friends up to this day, even appearing together in music videos. While Turbulence would have a steady growth in Reggae, Sasha would go on to become a Gospel Artist using the name “Sista Sasha“. “We Got The Love” remains a favourite for many, and may be a part of some Wedding Playlists soon.

Thank You Sasha & Turbulence For This Hit!

Mckada Wins You Over With “6 Love Domino”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Singer McKada has the personality, the charm, the beauty, and the talent. She can be the one you “Buil’ A Vibe” with, a “Blessing” through and through, and one you can have those “Conversations” with. What many don’t know, is that she can have a trick or few up her sleeve when it comes to matters of love. She shows her hand in, “6 Love Domino“.

Produced by Natural High Music, McKada has her game face on with a win in mind in, “6 Love Domino”. The Singer gets flirtatious throughout, sharing her observations of her love interest, and expresses what it’s like when two hearts are mutual in love, and are all about each other’s needs. When he wins, she wins, and she wins you over with her latest release. McKada keeps it very interesting as the lady in red in the Maless Films-directed music video. From taking over the stage with her backing band and Dancer, to locking in with her love interest in a game of Dominoes, she gives us plenty to see and hear. She is so in the game, she shows it in her freshly-painted nails. McKada continues to further her journey in music, and the rest of the year promises to see her doing more. She has been hitting it big with her live performances recently, and she’s still very available for those International shows. Promoters, get busy.

Posted on by swadedavillain

There’s a lot going on in the world, and we all just want better. If it’s not world leaders putting more pressure on the nations, it’s our own people fighting against each other. At this time, we don’t need conflict, we need unity. In these times, the right voices are needed, and Mical Teja steps up with friends in, “Crazy Season“.

Produced by Tano, Mical Teja, and Kyle Peters and featuring Freetown Collective, Teja calls for unity in this “Crazy Season”. The Artists observe what goes on in the world, and especially in their part of the world, and want the people to come together for a greater good, and overcome the conflicts and oppression that are faced. With a music video directed by Captain Plexx, the Artists share encouragement throughout, highlighting the people type of people living, and give viewers pieces of Trini History.

Jamaicans Cover Classic @TheBeatles Music In Our New Playlist

Posted on by swadedavillain

On May 8 1970, the famed British group The Beatles released their final album, “Let It Be“. Beatlemania was a huge moment in music, and has influenced generations of Musicians and Artists. Consisting of Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison, The Beatles connected with many worldwide, including Jamaica. 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.

You’ll hear their music in different styles and vibes, from Reggae to Dancehall, from back in the day, to more recent times. Get your speakers ready for this one.

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.

 “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.
