Yaksta & Silk Boss Call Out The Government In “For Sale”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Sale out, sale out! They say there’s an Island for sale and lease to the highest bidders. The topic of Jamaica no longer being for the natives and more for Investors all over the world is brought up often. We are losing our resources, we are losing our identity, we are losing our home! Recording Artist Yaksta has been noticing things when it comes to our Country, and he’s not pleased. He takes the podium in, “For Sale“.

Produced by Abroad Records/Marlon Easy/Bush Music and featuring Silk Boss, Yaksta calls out the Government in, “For Sale”. Every day we see something going on in Jamaica where foreigners and Investors are capturing our land and resources, driving many of us out of homes, and places of importance. We’re also feeling the effects of higher costs of living, and restrictions on things that would make life here easier. These actions are not our doing, but are being orchestrated by those in power. Yaksta and Silk share their disapproval on the track, and take it to the screen in a Lagikz Supreme-directed music video. “For Sale” is featured on “The Microphone Saved Me“, and fans have been requesting for this one to get the music video treatment. “For Sale, For Sale” they say. What’s next?

Clymaxx Stays Focused On “Different Day”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Every day is an opportunity to make something happen. While the name Clymaxx has not been on the mainstream like her Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall days, the former Queen has been developing her skills, and ensuring that she takes care of what’s important. Known as one of the more lyrical Deejays, her co-signs from some of Dancehall’s best over the years along with her releases are proof. No matter what’s going on, even on a “Different Day“, she’s focused.

Produced by KwanKussion, Clymaxx gets serious in, “Different Day”. It’s all about getting to the money, living your best life, taking care of your circle, and not letting anything get in the way of that. Clymaxx has no time for drama nor gossip, and she stays in her lane. Anyone tries to mess up her plans, will know her version of hell. The accompanying music video may no feature music, but she emphasizes her points, and her team is within reach if things go left. Clymaxx looks to keep the musical output consistent, not only because of her skillset, but because she’s trying to make even more things happen. Keep an eye out as she continues her mission.

Kickraux & Witty “LIVE LIFE LARGE” With 2-Track EP

Posted on by swadedavillain

There was a point in time on Social Media, the phrase “Jah know, Witty” would be commonplace in comment sections. The phrase would put down Recording Artist Witty, but he used it as fuel to be great. While his music career had a shaky start, he found his footing when he released Rock-inspired Dancehall music. The attention from those releases grew so much that top Producer Kickraux showed interest in his sound, and their connection resulted in a number of collaborations. Over the weekend, they dropped a new addition called, “LIVE LIFE LARGE“.

With a 2 track EP, Kickraux and Witty look to dominate the music spaces with “LIVE LIFE LARGE” setting the tone. If you’ve heard their previous collabs, you’re in for even more Rock Dancehall tunes, further expanding Witty’s catalogue. Kickraux ensures the lyrics get the right sound, and fans are going to demand even more music. With just an appetizer here, we look forward to their next development. We can see Witty taking on the International stages soon with the music. Get familiar with this one.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Black Slate – Freedom Time (1980)

Posted on by swadedavillain

August 1 is recognized as “Emancipation Day“. On that day in 1834, the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 came into force, and various parts of the Caribbean celebrate on that day. On “Oldies Sunday“, we revel in the celebrations through music. For today’s entry, we go back in time to check out British Band Black Slate’s “Freedom Time“.

Released through Ensign/Mercury Records in 1980, the self-produced “Freedom Time” found Black Slate called for the liberation of the people. The song found the Band in celebration mode, anticipating for the arrival of the Marcus Garvey-founded Black Star Line (also popularly known as the Black Star Liner), that will take us all home. The easy-going production helped to amplify the lyrics and melodies throughout, encouraging listeners join in on a special moment. “Freedom Time” was featured on the Band’s sophomore album “Amigo“, and despite not being released as a single, it found its following over the years. The song would add to the album’s success

Since the release of “Freedom Time”, Black Slate continued to release more music, and score a few hits over the years. The Band is still active, and many continue to play their music, including “Freedom Time”.

THANK YOU BLACK SLATE FOR THIS HIT!

Peaches Adaba Is In Need Of The “Longilala”

Posted on by swadedavillain

The night is young, and temperatures are rising for many. For Recording Artist Peaches Adaba, her night is not gonna end in the typical way.

She shares the benefits of her “Longilala” in a colourful Ruppi-directed music video, and Peaches continues to show that her place in the Jamaican scene is for the long haul. She needs the strength and stamina, and she’s making that request with no delay.

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“.

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.

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.
