.@AmandaReifer Channels Sister Nancy For “Bam Bam”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Dancehall is powerful. Since its beginnings in the late 70s/early 80s, the genre took on the world with new sounds and vibes, and giving a platform to generations of Artists. One of those Artists was Sister Nancy. As the first Female Dancehall Artist, she took her opportunity to open doors for other Women to showcase their skills, and inspire future generations. One of the Artist Nancy inspired was Bajan Recording Artist Amanda Reifer. While she’s not a Deejay, the music of Sister Nancy brought out some creativity for the Singer. Namely her track, “Bam Bam“.

Inspired by Sister Nancy’s 1982 classic single “Bam Bam“, Amanda Reifer showed off her skills on a sampling of the track for her track of the same name. Joined by her band, we get a performance, showing that she took her inspiration and ran with it. Reifer has been on the scene for a number of years, releasing music through Atlantic Records. “Bam Bam” is the 2nd live performance she has conducted over the past few days, and we may get more over time until new music hits the streams. This Woman don’t trouble no one.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Future Troubles – Kung Fu (1994)

Posted on by swadedavillain

If you grew up watching Karate flicks, Westerns, and late night Action movies, life was pretty cool back then. Many Jamaicans will tell you about the weekend nights of watching a Shaolin Warrior avenging his Master, or the slickest Cowboy in the West taking down the gangs. Today on “Oldies Sunday“, we’re gonna share with you an Artist who drew inspiration from those days, and made a hit out of it.Many know him today as Future Fambo, but back then he was known as, Future Troubles. We go back in time to check out, “Kung Fu“.

Produced by Courtney Cole and released through Roof International in 1994, Future Troubles stepped on the scene like the chosen one in, “Kung Fu”. The song was inspired by the love for the action-packed Karate Films that received plenty airplay in Jamaica. The song was made for the dancers, and those who know how to keep the party vibes going. If you found someone rocking a black belt, or a bandana, or sporting nunchucks, don’t worry about it. Just enjoy the vibes. “Kung Fu” became a hit for Future Troubles, and he enjoyed a lot of expose back then. The song was not only a hit for the adults, but for the children who would go on and do moves seen on the TV screens on the weekend to the song. Troublesm went as much as release more music that shared the same Karate Film inspiration.

Since the release of “Kung Fu”, Future Troubles went through a series of ups and downs. He late changed his name to Future Fambo, scored a few more hits, and had a few exits from the spotlight. Some would say Fambo got the big break 3 times in his life. Today, he enjoys his newfound popularity on TikTok as a Commentator, and a Comedian. He is still into the music as he used some dark times in his life as the main ingredient for his latest single, “Give Thanks” with SheenWrks. Many still remember his old stage name, along with “Kung Fu”.

THANK YOU FUTURE TROUBLES FOR THIS HIT!

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.

We send our condolences to his family at this time. We pay tribute to the Icon with our latest Playlist, “Sampling Jimmy Cliff“.

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 ❤️.

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.
