OLDIES SUNDAY: Pinchers – Bandelero (1991)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Happy Easter! While everyone’s out and about, we’re gonna make it real with today’s Oldies Sunday selection. For today’s post, we highlight a classic from one of Dancehall’s most unique voices. His name is Pinchers, and we feature his single, “Bandelero“.

Produced by King Jammys and released through Jammys Records in 1991, Pinchers stepped right out of a Western movie with this one. Calling himself a “Bandolero” (Spanish for Bandit), we get a track that makes reference to “Gringos“, Pinchers claiming that his lyrics are as sharp as the blade that Zorro owns, and being recognized as a champion. His flow was unique at the time paired with a bit of singing, and they helped to make “Bandelero” a hit. “Bandelero” went on to become one of Pinchers’ most memorable tracks, and is still enjoyed today. Pinchers is still active, and he takes his music from Kingston, Jamaica, to El Paso, Texas, to various parts of the world. A happy belated Birthday to Pinchers as well (April 12).

thank you pinchers for this classic!

.@EatVyouz Makes A Splash With Her Debut Single, “Wet”.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Sometimes we want that tingle in our spines, that warmth that is sometimes missing, that joy, the touch that is pretty special. While some may interpret that in any way they wish, newcomer onto the scene Vyouz shares that she has a need that should be dealt with expeditiously. She talks about it in her debut single, “Wet“.

Co-Produced by Rico’Keefe, Vyouz takes us into her world which is rather steamy, insatiable, and will have you losing your garments, and track of time. “Wet” can be described as “Baby making music“, and Vyouz looks to provide that and a lot more in her music career. Accompanying the single is a Visualizer which was directed by Vyouz in collaboration with Magical Studios. We expect Vyouz to make a big mark on the music scene, keep an eye out for more.

What do your think of Vyouz’s debut single, “Wet”? Check out the Visualizer below, and share with a friend. Show us some love/follow us on Twitter and Instagram at @13thStreetPromo.

OLDIES SUNDAY: ShineHead – Try My Love (1992)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today, we celebrate a legend in Reggae/Dancehall. He was one of the Artists who helped to kick off that run of 90s Hip Hop/Reggae/Dancehall collaborations. He gained success during that time, and made classics. That man who we’re featuring on Oldies Sunday is Shinehead. We featured him in this section nearly 10 years ago, but today we celebrate his 60th Birthday (April 10) by featuring his single (and one of this Editor’s favourites), “Try My Love“.

Produced by Dave Hall and featuring background Vocals by R&B group Intro, Shinehead’s “Try My Love” was released through Elektra in 1992. The track finds Shinehead delivering his signature Singjay style as he spits slick lyrics to a young lady he’s admiring. With promises of dates, love, excellent care and treatment, to blowing her mind every time, Shinehead shares that he has what it takes to make her his. All he needs her to do is try his love, and she’ll never need another.

“Try My Love” became one of Shinehead’s popular singles, and was featured on his 1992 Album, “Sidewalk University“. Shinehead is still active in various circles, and can be found rocking the Mic at stage show near you, and releasing new music.

big up shinehead! thank you for this classic!

.@BugleAn9ted Wants His “Flowaz” On His Latest Single!

Posted on by swadedavillain

To say that Reggae/Dancehall Artist Bugle is underrated is an understatement. For over a decade, he has been providing nothing but quality music with a positive message that has travelled every part of the globe. As his fanbase continues to grow, his content continues to set the standard. Unfortunately, many do not recognize his greatness, and he has stepped out to address it. He does so in his latest single, “Flowaz“.

Produced by Gold Up Music, Bugle gives us the quality music that we have grown to love and enjoy, but also makes his case on why he deserves respect in the Jamaican music scene. While many are quick to hop on the latest trend or crown the newest sensation, many of the Artists who have been putting in the necessary work are often left out of important conversations. Bugle gives evidence of this through the scenario of an award show with the accompanying Music Video, which was directed by Khing Cam. Many Artists who never get love in their own home, tend to take their talents to other lands where they’re hailed and given accolades. Recognize Artists like Bugle before it’s too late.

.@RealYoungLuiy Gets To Business With A Remix To @GyalKapone’s “Mission”!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Last year, upcoming Recording Artist/Podcaster/Creative GyalKapone celebrated her birthday with the release of her second single, “Mission“. The track has won over some listeners with the “badness” injected in the lyrics as Kapone is looking for a way to score a few Million by any means necessary. The track is still making its rounds along with her debut single, “Never“, but she now taking her career up a notch with her first remix.

GyalKapone enjoys a remix of “Mission” with Jamaican born/Antigua based Recording Artist Young Luiy. On the track, Luiy is gearing up to grab a few Million as well, and ensures that his moves are smooth ones so that the bags are secured. He compliments GyalKapone’s original track well, and this may be the beginning of a few collaborations between the two. Maybe we get some Bonnie & Clyde styled collabs. GyalKapone is currently working on new music, and is making moves with her “Enz Off Podcast“. Stay tuned for more.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Mighty Diamonds – Right Time (1975)

Posted on by swadedavillain

This past week, we lost two Jamaican Music Icons. Gone are 2/3 of the legendary Mighty Diamonds, Donald “Tabby” Shaw, and Fitzroy “Bunny” Simpson. While their passing has left an indelible mark in Jamaica, we want to keep them alive through the music. For today’s Oldies Sunday selection, we highlight their track, “Right Time“.

Produced by Jo Jo Hookim for Channel One Studio and released in 1975 through the Impact! Label (and through the Locks Label in the UK), Mighty Diamonds’ “Right Time” became one of the group’s biggest and most known single. With smooth production, the group spoke of Marcus Garvey’s prophecies, and everything will change for many when the right time comes. “Right Time” was featured on the group’s debut album of the same name in 1976 through Virgin Records, a label that plays a major part of the group’s history and helped their International push as they were some of the first Reggae acts signed there. The Mighty Diamonds celebrated 50 years together in 2020, and was the longest group together in Jamaican music. With their name pressed in every part of the globe, their breakthrough really came at the “right time”. R.I.P. Donald “Tabby” Shaw and Fitzroy “Bunny” Simpson.

thank you mighty diamonds for this classic!
