OLDIES SUNDAY: @MackaB – False Preacher (1988)

Posted on by swadedavillain

With Jamaica slowly being turned into a 20 season Mystery series shown on Netflix with the news of Kevin Smith and his cult, it’s only right that Oldies Sunday digs in the crates for a selection. This week, we stop in England to check out Reggae legend Macka B’s “False Preacher“.

Produced by Mad Professor and released through Ariwa Sounds in 1988, Macka B plays the role of “Pastor Theodore Love Money” who makes a list of demands that his Church congregation should fulfill because “That’s what the Lord says!“. If the Pastor needs to wear new suits, let the Church goers provide for it. He needs a BMW? Let them pay for it! The single was featured on Macka B’s 1988 album, “We’ve Had Enough!“, which features plenty of commentary from the man himself. With the story of fake Preachers and Pastors being a very common one for many, Macka B has been calling those hustlers out for many years. Some have lead cults, some have made millions and are living better than their members, and some have claimed to have had the direct line to God. Many Church goers have been lied to, tricked, bamboozled, and lead astray, and many fake Pastors and false Prophets will have to answer for their crimes one day.

Since “False Preacher”, Macka B has released numerous albums, and has been a Youtube/Social Media favourite thanks to pairing a healthy lifestyle with his lyrical prowess. He has even been name dropped by popular Media Personality Desus Nice on his “Bodega Boys Podcast“.

Thank You Macka B!

Zac Jone$ "The Weed Song" on 13thStreetPromotions.com

.@ZacJonesStony Presents To You, “The Weed Song” With @JesseRoyal1

Posted on by swadedavillain

Music has been made in tribute to Women, cars, money, God, and even where you’re from over the years, but when a song is made about Marijuana, “It hits different“. There are many an anthem for Ganja, Weed, Mary Jane, and Herb, from some of world’s Connoisseurs of the plant. Recording Artist Zac Jone$ is one of those Connoisseurs, and he presents to us today, “The Weed Song“.

Produced by Iotosh (who has been having a respectable run of productions in the past couple years) and featuring fellow Weed Scholar Jesse Royal, Zac Jone$ shares his “high” experience when he connects with the good green. “I wrote this song at a time when I was busy doing a lot of things outside of music and I remember feeling really overwhelmed”, Zac shares. “Every night after work I’d sit outside in my garden and smoke and I’d feel good in that moment; like that was my escape. One of those nights I just wanted to put that feeling into song. I pulled up the beat from Io (Iotosh) and it all came together right there. I was saving it for the right feature, so when Jesse heard it a few months later and started writing his verse on the spot, I knew that was it. It was all organic so that was dope.” Accompanying the single is a dope Music Video directed by Jesse Suchomel, which finds Zac in various parts of Kingston enjoying the Weed with friends (anyone caught the Potential Kid, Tessellated, and Sheen cameos?). What’s your favourite Weed strain?

Azizzi Romeo Taps Into Romance & Emotions On The “Catharsis EP”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Love is something special, isn’t it? History has shown us many episodes where love has affected humans in ways. For upcoming Recording Artist/Producer Azizzi Romeo, the idea of romance has prompted him to make music about it. From making one song soon turned into multiple tracks, and today we get to see it in a project form called the “Catharsis EP“.

Consisting of 7 tracks, Azizzi Romeo’s “Catharsis EP” was released through Charmax Music (owned by his father, the legendary Max Romeo). “Catharsis” refers to the process of releasing strong or repressed emotions, and Azizzi utilizes the action to its fullest throughout the EP. He shares a story of romance, with each chapter being an emotional episode. “I wanted to create something romantic. And I also wanted it to be honest.” Azizzi shares. “I ended up pouring out my emotions on some of the tracks. Midway through the creative process, I realized I was purging myself of the past, my mind had become as light as a feather. I had confronted my inner demons and subjugated them. So I decided to name the project ‘Catharsis’.” The production featured on the “Catharsis EP” taps into AfroPop, Dancehall, Reggae, Hip Hop, and R&B sounds, and provides great backdrops to Azizzi’s smooth vocals, and unique lyrics. The “Catharsis EP” is the follow up to his “Reggae Royalty EP“, which was released in 2020.
