1Ski OG Speaks On The “Struggles” In New Single

Posted on by swadedavillain

Dancehall Artist 1Ski OG continues to build his catalogue, since securing an International deal over a year ago, he’s still expanding his presence overseas. He has released singles for the ladies and for the streets, has secured collaborations in the Latin market, and remains focused. Building on his discography, he recently released, “Struggles“.

Produced by BVS Productions, 1Ski OG gets a little vulnerable on “Struggles”. He speaks on the pressures and hardship in his mission to becoming successful, dealing with deceitful people, making observations in the world and sharing some commentary, wanting better for not just himself, but his people, and just staying determined through it all. It’s been a few years since his debut single, and he continues to build on his movement, even when there are detractors out there. Life is filled with challenges, and he’s taking them a day at a time. Sacrificing for a better life.

This @Skillibeng & @HeIsRema Collab Will Make Her Move Like A “Ballerina”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Dancehall Artist Skillibeng keeps a collaboration on him. He recently secured a Gold certification thanks to his part in Moliy’s “Shake It To The Max (Remix)“, and the possibilities are endless for him this year. He’s good in every genre, and his next collab on the single “Ballerina” is all about the ladies.

Produced by Silent Addy and Disco Neil for Bashment and featuring Naija star Rema, Skillibeng has the ladies in certain positions in, “Ballerina”. With a video directed by Miklas Manneke for Nouvelle Films, we see the Artists joining in genres, lyrics, and style, while a Ballerina graces the visual with her presence and prowess throughout. Skillibeng continues to tap into the AfroFusion market, and if “Ballerina” takes off in the right way, we can expect more plaques for the Deejay. Something steamy for the Friday. Ladies, show us the best moves.

Kickraux, DJ Crazy Neil, Abel & Lexo Make The Connection In “Tell Mi (Verdad)”

Posted on by swadedavillain

It has been said before that Reggae Music is universal, and it continues to be that way today. You can drop a pin on any part of the world, and hear someone either enjoying some Reggae selections, or making their own Reggae song or Riddim. When it’s done in combination with other genres, it can be a beautiful thing. US-based Producer Kickraux has been cooking up lately, and what he has in store for the rest of the year is life-changing. This time around, he gives us an Introduction to a duo who look to cause a major shift this year. From Venezuela we get Reggaeton Artists Abel & Lexo, and we now check out their single, “Tell Mi (Verdad)“.

Featuring the “Mobay President” DJ Crazy Neil, Kickraux brings Reggae and Latin Music together for even more vibes with Abel & Lexo on “Tell Mi (Verdad)”/”Tell Me The Truth“. When things don’t seem right in the air and the person you care about seems shifty, the duo pick up on the cues and just want the truth to come out. Is it deception? Is it just a bad day? Talk up! The classic Reggae production blends well with the duo’s lyrics, and listeners can’t help but dance to the sounds. “Tell Mi (Verdad)” is just one of the few releases through Kickraux and 11often in the past few months including “If It’s Too Heavy” with Yaksta, and with Abel & Lexo at the forefront, we will be hearing even more leading to an official project from the duo. ¡Dime la verdad!

.@ArmaniiMusiq Keeps The Women Close In “Fulla Gyal”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Dancehall Artist Armanii continues to elevate his career, and grow his catalogue with the continued release of singles. The International is getting more familiar with him, and many look forward to his next major move. Earlier, he premiered the new single, “Fulla Gyal“.

Produced by Sartout Records, Armanii continues his “Gyallis” conquests in, “Fulla Gyal”. Armanii and the Women go hand in hand, and he’s not afraid to express that. Even when he has a relationship, the ladies can’t get enough of him, and he’s always ready for the thrill. “Fulla Gyal” will have listeners comparing the Deejay’s style being similar to Alkaline, but don’t be surprised if the Detta Boss himself steps out for a remix (Sortie and crew make it happen, I want points!). Sometimes for the ladies, something for the Gyallis crews, and something to party to.

Matthew Malcolm Speaks On Life In “Seaview” On New Single

Posted on by swadedavillain

No matter where we are in the world, we always remember where we’re coming from. From hardships, to luxurious lifestyles, many of our backgrounds vary in society, but we carry forward memories, life-changing events, cherished moments, sacred bonds, and trauma as well. For Recording Artist/Actor Matthew Malcolm, he reflects on home. He shares a song about it called, “Seaview“.

Produced by Urban Villah and released through Dubshot Records, Matthew Malcolm shares a visual of life that is lived by many in “Seaview”. It’s a place where many birthed their ambitions and later achieved them, a place where many joyous times happened, a place where dark days and cold nights seem like they will never end, where many found ways and means to survive, and sadly where hope came, and died. Malcolm sheds light on people suffering in the community, the injustice many face, and even shares his thoughts on another community thousands of miles away that has its own share of hardship and injustice. This is not a dancing song, this is reality, and Matthew Malcolm uses his voice to bring awareness. Take a listen to this one.

JeV Rises Above Negative Forces In “Micro” Video

Posted on by swadedavillain

In this world, one must face challenges. How they deal with them will determine who they are as a person. There are some who handle things on their own, while others require some help. Upcoming Recording Artist JeV a.k.a. JevAn9ted faces many challenges, but he’s overcoming them his way in, “Micro“.

In a video directed by KhingCam, JeV clutches his fists for battle in the video for, “Micro”. Pitting himself against “Badmind“, “Disloyal“, “Envy“, “Friendkiller“, “Opportunist“, and “Manipulative“, the Artist steps into the ring with confidence to fight against the negative forces that try to hold him back daily. Produced by Daze Records/TopAlone/Peo/An9ted Ent., “Micro” serves as a piece of motivation for the listener who is going through their own struggles in life. For those unfamiliar, JeV is the son of Recording Artist Bugle, and we look forward to him elevating this year, and becoming a well-rounded Artist for years to come. Keep fighting.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Bajan Recording Artist Shaí Bascombe has been busy with the music. With a new project on the way, he’s keeping the singles dropping, and building up anticipation. Today, you can get familiar with, “See Ya“.

Released through The Hiatus Club and featuring Jah Koda, Shaí Bascombe is all about having the feelings for that one Woman in, “See Ya”. When she marks all the boxes when it comes to her qualities and what you need in a Woman, you can’t help but yearn for her when she’s away. The Artists admit nothing is the same when she is not in the picture, but the vibe is always right when their respective Women show up. The track dropped in time for Valentine’s Day, but this one is for every day of the year. With a music video done in collaboration with DM Photography, we see Shaí and Koda conduct a series of photoshoots with their lovers, and they go from lovey dovey to humorous thanks to the various poses. If you can’t be silly with the one you love, it won’t make sense. This one is for the ladies to get familiar with. Stayed tuned for more from Shaí Bascombe.

.@Acmatic Returns With “Betrayed”

Posted on by swadedavillain

In the year 2026, Jamaican Alternative collective Acmatic returns to the scene. Known for delivering music that’s far from the norm, Acmatic found their way into a number of prominent events, and received co-signs from the likes of Major Lazer, and various members of the music community locally, and regionally. What was once a hefty crew over the years is now down to two members, co-founders King Lopo, and Plateface. Ready to face the world fresh off of an hiatus, we get the new single, “Betrayed“.

For Acmatic’s first release since 2019, Plateface handles the production on “Betrayed“, while King Lopo sheds light on an experience of Infidelity. The duo share a pain that is relatable to many, but the high energy House/Garage-inspired production aims to give the listener the boost to overcome it, the song is done in a manner similar to Hip Hop or Dancehall tracks that speak on violence or gruesome situations, but the production keeps you entertained. Acmatic was never a group that was boxed in, and “Betrayed” is just one of many singles that will make their return a well-needed one. Welcome back to the fold.

Love is still in operation over here, it didn’t stop on February 14. Upcoming Recording Artist Nisou returns with new music for your ears, and she continues to show promise. She looks to get the listener in their feelings with the release of, “Love Like This“.

Produced by Reggie Crux/TS87/Neegle and released through Emotica Records, Nisou shares her experience of that new love in, “Love Like This”. The kind of love that catches you off guard is life-changing, and the Singer shares her experiences through it all from the attention, the affection, that feeling of being top priority, and so much more. In a time where many put their experiences in toxic love on display, “Love Like This” aims to cause a shift, and bring hope to those who still believe in that authentic love. The single is accompanied by a Visualizer directed by Chrishane Marx, and it’s all about love letters, diary entries, day dreams, and bonding with that real love. Nisou’s newest release is shaping her up to be the next star, and we look forward to what else she has in store. This is for the lovers.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Luis Días & Sonia Silvestre – Baila En La Calle (1984)

Posted on by swadedavillain

The month of February is recognized as Dominican Heritage Month. The month (January 27-February 27) honors those born in the Dominican Republic, and of Dominican descent in the United States, who have contributed to the community as well as made cultural achievements. The month ends on the Country’s Independence Day celebrations. Today on “Oldies Sunday“, we recognize an Individual who made significant contributions to the musical development of the Dominican Republic. This Man is known as the “Father of Dominican Rock“, but many know him as Luis Días a.k.a. “El Terror“. Today, we check out, “Baila En La Calle (Carnaval)“.

Arranged by Jorge Taveras and featuring Sonia Silvestre, “Baila En La Calle (Dance In The Street)” was Luis Días’ way of building unity, promoting positive vibes, and enjoy good times in the Dominican Republic. Released through Secretaria De Estado de Turismo in 1984 (but premiered in 1983), Días was commissioned to compose a theme song for the 1984 staging of the Dominican Carnival. The release was a success, and it quickly gained popularity in the Country, and in the diaspora, prompting a number of covers over the years, including one made famous by fellow Dominican, Fernando Villalona. Días would receive a national award from the Government of the Dominican Republic for his composition, and it would go on to be sampled by Wyclef Jean and Shakira for their classic collaboration, “Hips Don’t Lie“.

Since the release of “Baila En La Calle”, Luis Días would go on to be a cultural figure. He composed hundreds of songs that would later on be covered by numerous Artists, he composed music for a number of Films, worked with UNICEF and various Government entities, and was considered a “National Cultural Patrimony” in his homeland before his passing in 2009. “Baila En La Calle” is still played and covered to this day. Big up the Dominican Republic!

THANK YOU LUIS DÍAS FOR THIS TIMELESS HIT!

Elephant Man Stays Fresh In “Louis” For New Video

Posted on by swadedavillain

Elephant Man is an Icon when it comes to many things. From decades of hits, to setting a standard for live performances, to standing out in the fashion scene, you have to put respect on his name. For the Man who ensures you obey your image, it’s only right he stays fresh in designer drip. You can see for yourself in the video for, “Louis“.

Directed by Simeon Di Great and shot in New York, Elephant Man gets into the designer side of things in the video for, “Louis”. With his arm candy by his side, he takes a shopping trip to the Louis Vuitton store, and together they pick out a few things, while also showing off their respective OOTDs. Ele has collected a few fashion pieces over the years, and in the end, he represents himself from head to toe, and doesn’t mind taking risks. If you are his arm candy, you have to ensure you match his fly. If Virgil Abloh was still alive (or if Pharrell is paying attention), we feel Elephant Man could walk down a runway for the next line of LV fashion. Someone make it happen, and send us a LV care package and invite. The “Energy God” continues to keep the content game going while he secures bookings. Stay updated on his feeds for his next live performance, and make sure to prepare to receive his energetic sets.

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 Remember The Late Frankie Paul In Our “Cover Kings Vol. 3” Playlist

Posted on by swadedavillain

On October 19, music lovers celebrated the 60th birthday of the late Jamaican Vocalist, Frankie Paul. Having made his transition in 2017, Paul was one of the go-to Singers in Dancehall and Reggae. Dubbed the “Jamaican Stevie Wonder” due to visual impairment, but a brilliant talent as a Singer, he became a star since his younger days, piling on hits, singles, and albums in his solid career. Today, we remember his exceptional talent, but also his knack for knocking out a Cover Song. Tune in to our new Playlist, “Cover Kings Vol. 3 – Frankie Paul“.

With the new “Cover Kings” Playlist, we highlight some of the many cover songs Frankie Paul released over the years. From covering Guy, Lionel Richie, Loose Ends, Bobby Brown, to covering fellow Jamaican Artists Dennis Brown and John Holt, Paul was a 1 of 1 talent. Listeners can reminisce on the first time they heard these songs, and for a moment forget about the stress of the world. We miss Frankie Paul on the scene, but he left behind a legacy that’s unmatched. Thank you Frankie Paul, and continue to sleep well.

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.
