.@TeenieBit Holds Her Own On “Mystique”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Life has its challenges, but with the right determination and focus, one can overcome them. Dancehall Artist Teenie Bit believes she’s built different for she emerged a stronger person with all that she has experienced, and is conditioned to separate herself from people and situations that don’t mean her well. She stands out, and stands on her own. She shares her stances on “Mystique“.

Produced by Sartout Records/Rapid Production/Dre Barnes Beatz/Kulcha, Teenie Bit speaks her mind, and shares why she stands out from the rest on “Mystique”. When she has her down times and is dealing with all manner of oppression, she looks to her Mother as a safe space, and puts her trust in God. She can do without a lot of things and people, and that’s fine. What’s for her can never not be for her. She borrows a familiar flow here, but she presents a sound that will have listeners taking notice. She may be small, but moves like a giant in life. Teenie Bit is signed to Sartout Records, and has been releasing music for quite some time. Get familiar with her, and watch her rise.

.@SartoutRecords Continues To Strive, And Build A Legacy

Posted on by swadedavillain

Western Jamaica-based Sartout Records is holding on strong, and making big moves even amidst challenging times. The label was originally started in the early 2010s by twin brothers Darren and Dane Sortie, and together they developed a sound that stood out on the scene, and built a respectable catalogue with Artists who went on to make indelible marks in Jamaican music. From building Riddims in their room to scoring the “Top Prize”, the twin producers took on the Industry with a strong determination to win. The duo took a chance on an upcoming Artist named Alkaline, and it paid off as he went on to become a Dancehall anomaly, and they have shared a strong working and personal friendship over the years. Sartout Records is currently down to one member, Darren, as Dane passed away in 2021 due to complications from Covid 19, but the label continues to thrive.

“The journey continues with Sartout Records despite losing Dane, and there’s a lot more in store as the label has been having some great years,” shared Darren Sortie in quick chat recently. “I’m just working on more things to further honour my brother and father (who passed away along with Dane due to Covid complications), and I’m excited to share them to the world. This year already got a taste of the Sartout sound on Alkaline’s “Boss”, “Motivation”, “Nah Laugh”, “Open A Brain”, and “Cya Tame”, and they have been doing well with the fans supporting them on Youtube, and on the major streaming platforms. Alkaline was an Artist we believed in from the start, so it’s a blessing that we’re still working together in 2023.”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Jamaican Producer Minto o/c “Minto Play Da Riddim” has been a name that is synonymous with a number of hit singles over the years. Having contributed various new sounds and vibes to the culture, he lends his talents to the Afrobeats scene this year. He steps out with the new single, “Intoxicated”.

“Intoxicated” is Minto’s official entry into Afrobeats, with the hopes of making an impact. Done in collaboration with Nigerian-born/UK-based Recording Artist Kid AlpHa, the single is about finding someone special and having a good time together. A track that will have couples getting lost in each other, promoting a good vibe that will be contagious. Minto provides an infectious sound on the track, and paired with Kid AlpHa’s melodic delivery, make for a track that will be instantly loved by the listener. Minto and AlpHa make for a great combination, and plans are already afoot for future collaborations. “Intoxicated” is expected to become a hit for the collaborative duo, permeating radio throughout the Caribbean, and taking a significant place in African, European, and the American markets over the coming weeks.

Minto has played a significant role in Dancehall/Reggae music for a number of years, and has worked with the likes of Skillibeng, Vybz Kartel, Tatik, Kyodi, Popcaan, Munga Honorable, Charly Black, and Safaree. He looks to make a bigger impact in his production field, with more singles and Riddim compilations in the works. Kid AlpHa started his music career officially in 2020 with the single “Price Tag”, and quickly found success, becoming an Artist to know in Nigeria, the UK, South America, and other parts of the world. He has a number of singles to his name, and possesses a determination to make a bigger name for himself globally.

.@TheAlkaline Releases Visual For “Boss”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Dancehall Artist Alkaline has been having a busy 2023, and we know the fans are not mad at that. From making moves in high fashion, to doing numbers on the music streaming platforms, to performing at sold out events, Alka is working. Keeping up with the consistency, he released the visual for the single, “Boss“.

The Autobamb Records/Sartout Records-produced “Boss” received positive feedback since its release earlier this year, and with a Diggz-directed visual, it just extended its shelf life. The video finds Alkaline enjoying life whether he’s sailing the Yacht, or chilling with the Goats and Llamas at the Petting Zoo, or just riding Quad Bikes with the crew. Sometimes you need to take a break from all the craziness. Alkaline continues to uphold his stance as one of the best out, and while he teases his rivals, he’s ensuring that his fans are well taken care of through the content. Is Alkaline your G.O.A.T.? Boss fi every boss.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Gentleman – Intoxication (2004)

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s another Oldies Sunday! It may be rainy where you are, or it’s dry, but we have something that’s good for both. The past few entries focused on Artists who have been influenced by Jamaica and its music, but are natives of other lands. This Sunday is no different as we head over to Germany to check out Gentleman’s “Intoxication“.

Produced by Donovan Bennett a.k.a. Don Corleon on the “Drop Leaf Riddim“, “Intoxication” was released in 2004 through Don Corleon Records. The track finds Gentleman expressing the love he has for his lady as they have been shared so much together over the years, and he will always be there for her. Her love is definitely intoxicating as Gentleman beautifully delivers the lyrics with his signature melodic sound. The “Drop Leaf Riddim” was one of the popular Riddims of the early 2000s, and “Intoxication” was a top single in the compilation as it charted in Germany, Jamaica, and Austria. “Intoxication” was featured on Gentleman’s 2004 album “Confidence“, and the 2005 “Intoxication” EP.

Since the release of “Intoxication”, Gentleman continued to have a successful music career in Europe and parts of the Caribbean. He released more singles and albums, and continues to perform around the world. Gentleman always paid tribute to Jamaica and her music that heavily inspired him, and his music is still in heavy rotation. “Intoxication” continues to be a favourite among listeners.

thank you Gentleman for this classic!

Vielen Dank, Gentleman, für diesen Klassiker!
