NEW VIDEO: @DJKhaled – Ain’t Nobody Got Dubs Like This

Posted on October 7, 2014 by swadedavillain

In the Dancehall culture, one of most important aspects is the Dubplate. Vital in Soundclashes and dances, it can either make or break a Sound System. Today, via Boomshoots, DJ/Producer DJ Khaled shows off some of his most cherished Dubplates. Khaled, no stranger to the Dancehall culture, played dubs from the likes of Buju Banton, Bounty Killa, Beres Hammond, Capleton, and more. This is a great watch (and listen) here as I’ve been familiar with DJ Khaled’s presences in the Dancehall. Older fans might remember his appearances at events such as “Fully Loaded” and his contributions via mixtapes. Can he beat Wyclef for having the most expensive dubplate? Stay tuned. Check out the video below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

Posted on October 4, 2014 by swadedavillain

With the Chikungunya Virus spreading like wild fire in Jamaica, it has knocked many off their feet and not in a good way. In the Dancehall culture, artists usually take a popular topic and turn it in a song. One of those artists is 11 year old Wayne J with his “Chikungunya Song“. Performing it on Onstage and assisted by dancers, he later revealed that he and his family have also contracted the virus. A popular song on the radio and Internet, the doors have also opened for other acts to follow. I wish Wayne J and his family a speedy recovery and to the readers, stay safe from “Chik V”.
