.@BusySignal_Turf Proceeds With Caution On “Yeng Yeng”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Are there any Bike lovers here? What is your favourite Bike? How about a Yeng Yeng Bike? Since the emergence of the Yeng Yeng Bike on Jamaican roads, it has been a great convenience for some, and a great annoyance for others. Jobs have been created thanks to them, while others use them for wrongdoing. Dancehall Artist Busy Signal shares his annoyances and gives a warning in the video for “Yeng Yeng“.

Shot in Kingston, we see Busy Signal having a not so great time with a few Yeng Yeng riders in the video. Paranoia hits while he’s driving among them, and he shares that it can be a pain to hear them. We also see the evils some of the riders do to common folk, and they share their spoils among each other in the end. Busy Signal delivers as usual on the track, and video helps to bring more Yeng Yeng Bikes to more screens, either making viewers heed to more warning, or fueling their interest in acquiring one. Remember Ninja Bikes?

OLDIES SUNDAY: Lady Ann – Informer (1981)

Posted on by swadedavillain

In recognition of Women’s History Month, we take the time out to feature Women who have made great contributions to our music culture. While we celebrate the Women all year over here, we recognize some through our Oldies Sunday section. Today’s selection comes from foundation Dancehall Artist Lady Ann a.k.a. the 1st Lady of Dancehall with the track, “Informer“.

Produced by Joe Gibbs and released through the Crazy Joe Label in 1981, Lady Ann calls out the many informants in her community as she is developing a relationship with her lover. She shares that while she gets closer to her man, there are those who are jealous of her relationship, and seek to let her father know of her dealings so that he can put a stop to it. Lady Ann’s “Informer” became a hit in no time, propelling her to become the first female Dancehall Artist to score a number one single. “Informer” was featured on Lady Ann’s sophomore album of the same name, and she became the first female Dancehall Artist to score a #1 single and album. The success from “Informer” gave Lady Ann an opportunity to tour throughout the US and Canada, in 1983 when she was the first female Deejay to earn the award for “DJ Of The Year“. “Informer” is nowadays recognized as Lady Ann’s biggest hit. There have been many female Dancehall Artists who have done historic things in their careers, but Lady Ann is a member of the first female Deejays to pave the way.

Respect To Lady Ann, Thanks For The Classic!

10Tik Stays “Activ” And Ready For Anything!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Dancehall Artist 10Tik is one of the fast rising acts to emerge in the past couple years. He has steadily built his following, and fed the streets some hard hitting music. Ready to take his career to another level and become one of the dominant Artists of this year, 10Tik steps out with something new called, “Activ“.

Produced by Blackbridge Music and 10Tik City Inc., 10Tik brings a different energy with some melody on “Activ”. He name drops the late Christopher Michael Coke a.k.a. Jim Brown, and makes the claim that he and his crew run Uptown. Expect nuff badness here, and 10Tik continues to show why he’s an Artist you need to hear. The single is accompanied by a music video directed by Hybrid Media Concepts, and it finds 10Tik moving from toasting to success with his people, to being interrogated by the Feds, to making KingPin moves that would find him being a free man within minutes. You know how di badness go. What do you think of “Activ”?
