Koffee - West Indies for 13thStreetPromotions.com #Jamaica #Dancehall #Koffee

.@OriginalKoffee Returns To Party In The “West Indies”.

Posted on by swadedavillain

The last time we heard Recording Artist Koffee, she wanted to get into some “Lockdown” loving. Sadly, since the advent of the Covid 19 pandemic, our lives have experienced a series of lockdowns, but not of the loving kind. Some have said that the song jinxed us, but we’re still here dodging Covid, and trying to live our lives. Over a year since Koffee’s last single, she returns with her new single, “West Indies“.

Produced by iotosh, Koffee expresses her desire to enjoy her life in the great West Indies. She wants to have fun, she wants to party, and she wants to be around the people she loves. We feel the same way too, and for some of us, we have to live vicariously through those who are enjoying fully vaccinated lives without lockdowns, restrictions, and dangers thanks to the Coronavirus. Accompanying the single is a music video directed by Meji Alabi, Koffee, and JM Films that promotes family, friends, fun, and that amazing Island life. We’re treated to cameos from some very familiar faces as well, and the video has us missing all the “outside” has to offer. Koffee is back on the scene to run the place!

It’s always good to hear some of our favourite songs in TV and Film, especially when you’d least expect to hear Dancehall, Reggae, or even Soca music in them.

We Highlight The Dave & Ansell Collins Classic, “Double Barrel” In Our Throwback Playlist!

Posted on by swadedavillain

In 1970, the duo known as Dave Barker and Ansell Collins a.k.a. Dave & Ansell Collins released their single, “Double Barrel“. Produced by Winston Riley, the song went on to become the second Jamaican produced track to top the UK music charts. From there it went on to sell numerous records, charted in the US, and introduced the world to a young Sly Dunbar, who played drums on the record. It became a classic, and was immortalized by many Artists through the technique of sampling. Today, for our latest #13thStreetThrowback Playlist, we highlight “Double Barrel”.

Featuring 50 tracks, the “Double Barrel” Playlist highlights a few covers, and songs that sampled the 1970 hit. From Special Ed’s infamous “I’m The Magnificent“, to Kanye West’s “The One“, and from Hip Hop to Electronic Music, “Double Barrel” has traveled near and far. When you hear “I’m…the magnificent!” on a track, just remember where it came from. Salute the great duo known as Dave & Ansell Collins!

Dexta Daps - "I'm On My Way" for 13thStreetPromotions.com #DextaDaps

Dexta Daps Has The Ladies Waiting On “I’m On My Way”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recording Artist Dexta Daps has become the Casanova of Dancehall with his selection of hits that have become panty droppers for the ladies. When he gets into his zone, the temperatures are rising, and he’s gonna make magic happen. Last year, he released the “VENT” album which had made its rounds. Just recently however, he followed it up with the Deluxe Edition featuring a collection of new tracks with appearances by Konshens, Marlon Asher, Patrice Roberts, and more. One of the new tracks is called, “I’m On My Way“, and we get a music video for it.

Directed by PhillyFlyBoy and Rahim Visram, the visual for “I’m On My Way” puts you in the seat to watch what could’ve easily been a scene from a romantic film. It may not be as steamy as the “INTRO” Short Film from a couple years ago, but you know Dexta Daps may have another one of those in his arsenal. At the end of the day, he has an incredible run, and the “VENT” album was just given new life with an extra set of new tracks.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Chase Soundz kept his word that for the month of September, he would release a new song every Friday. Unfortunately he missed out last week due to reasons beyond his control, but today he returns to close off the series with his “9-3 Freestyle“.

For almost 2 minutes, Chase Soundz gets into his “no pen, no pad” mode to drop off a few bars over a beat produced by Ratfooshi that pays tribute to Rapper Isaiah Rashad’s track of the same name. Chase Soundz has plans to release more music in 2021, but we hope he drops a follow up to his 2020 “BearWithMe EP“. If you’re liking what you’re hearing, check out Chase’s previous offerings.

Capella Grey x Popcaan x Chris Brown - "Gyalis (Remix)" on 13thStreetPromotions.com

.@CapellaGrey Recruits @PopcaanMusic & @ChrisBrown For The “Gyalis (Remix)”

Posted on by swadedavillain

2021 has been a great year for US based Artist Capella Grey. His “Gyalis” single was everywhere from parties, to becoming a Social Media fixture, to even being featured on a few of your favourite Podcasts and Playlists. While it had some controversy thanks to his Genius “Verified” feature not sitting well with some members of Jamaican/Caribbean Twitter, “Gyalis” is still a hit. On a mission to grow the song to new levels, Capella recruited Popcaan and Chris Brown for the official remix.

While Chris Brown brings his signature vocals and energy, Popcaan steps in like a true gyalis with his verse as “the ladies crown him King“. “Gyalis” gets some new life on the remix, and if you haven’t been familiar with the song, now is the time to take a listen. 3 different Artists, 3 different types of Gyalis, one dope song. Capella touches base with his Jamaican roots in some of his music, and promises to be one of more prominent names for years to come. Popcaan on the other hand has been pretty busy these past few weeks, when he’s not buying sneakers in the UK, he’s hopping on plenty songs. The Unruly Boss continues to thrive no matter what’s going on.
