OLDIES SUNDAY: Half Pint – Victory (1987)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today’s Oldies Sunday is dedicated to all who celebrating wins whether big or small, and for those working towards their goals. The fight to greatness continues. Today’s selection comes from the great Half Pint with the track, “Victory“!

Produced by Mass Hugh for his self titled label and released in 1987, Half Pint sings for those who are in the struggle trying to make success a possibility. He points out to those living in poverty in places like South Africa, Jamaica, America, England, and Canada. With the help of Jah, Half Pint wishes a sweet victory for everyone, and make the world a better place. The single was featured on Half Pint’s “Victory” album that was released in the same year through RAS Records. “Victory” was a hit for Half Pint, and is one of his more memorable tracks.

THANK YOU HALF PINT FOR THIS CLASSIC!

If you’re celebrating a win today, we’re happy for you! Check out the track below, and share with a friend. Show us some love/follow us on Twitter and Instagram at @13thStreetPromo.

Will The Wolf Holds On To “Hope” In New Video!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Trinidad’s Will The Wolf is a different type of artist. Having made a couple debuts this year, his music and visuals definitely stand out from the crowd. With his 3rd release, the VOISIC produced “Hope“, he gets into something that many of us can relate to.

With a video directed by Will himself while Thrillstory captures it all, we get a song that’s a tearjerker as it deals with lost relationships, missing that special someone, with the visuals showing us the depression that one goes through, and the hope some have that there will be a reunion. With the year seeing many breakups and fall outs, some of us are going through it, but trying to stay positive through it. Hang in there! Great song by Will The Wolf, and a very clean visual from him and the team!

You can’t dull David Lyn’s shine. If the Covid 19 pandemic couldn’t stall his determination, nothing will. Having made a lot of noise this year, he’s only working his way up for the takeover. Today, he unleashed the new single, “Keep Moving“.

Produced by his Grammy winning brother (real real bredda) Izy Beats with assistance from Jamaican Band Phuzzion, David Lyn comes through with original vibes and lets badmind know that they can’t stop his show. With a melodic delivery that has captured the attention of many, he also encourages everyone to get out of the struggle, and to stay true to everything good. Accompanying the single is a Noorez “Nunu” Rhemtulla directed video shot in the infamous Tuff Gong Studio. Not only is David Lyn fueled by everything positive, but the spirit of Bob Marley flows through him in the studio for the video.

“Keep Moving” is featured on his upcoming “Any Day Now EP“, which is set for a December 4th release with launches in Dunagaroos (Wynwood, Florida) on November 25, and in Jangas (Kingston, Jamaica) on December 4. Expect a couple more surprises then, including some “Singy Singy” vibes. Let this track be a favourite for you today!

OLDIES SUNDAY: Hopeton Lindo – Slaughter (1991)

Posted on by swadedavillain

When you hear the whistle, you know you’re gonna hear a big tune! Today’s Oldies Sunday selection comes from Recording Artist Hopeton Lindo. Stepping in like a General, we check out “Slaughter“! Produced by Mikey Bennett, the single was released through Two Friends Records in 1991. On the track, Hopeton kicks it off with his famous whistling before delivering some bad bwoy lyrics to those who think they’ll get the upper hand when they confront him. A song that’s fitting for any Sound Clash, Hopeton Lindo was ready to send all opponents to the cemetary when they step into his area for battle. “Slaughter” was a popular track for Hopeton, and was featured on his critically acclaimed debut album, “The Word” in 1992.

Since “Slaughter”, Hopeton Lindo went on to make more music, and did some production as well. He was responsible for penning the classic JC Lodge “Telephone Love“, and Deborahe Glasgow’s “Champion Lover” with Co-Writer Home-T. Once again, when you hear the whistle, you’re gonna hear a big tune! Kuff him!
