OLDIES SUNDAY: Danny English – Wah Dis God (1999)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Last week, we received some sad news. The Dancehall Fraternity lost another member, Danny English. The Deejay lost his fight with Diabetes, and members of the public are currently in mourning. The Deejay was being active on the scene in the past couple years through live performances, and was planning to release a number of singles this year as a part of his comeback. Today, we pay tribute to the late Deejay with a selection on “Oldies Sunday“. Tune in to, “Wah Dis God“.

Produced by Steven Ventura on the “Latino Riddim“, released through the Mphatic! Label in 1999, and featuring Dancehall Artist Egg Nogg, Danny English shares some observations as people have been plotting and scheming on him as he found some success in “Wah Dis God”. He shares that since life has been looking better for him, people have been planning to rob him and cause harm to his family, but he is prepared for them, and they will meet their end in any way possible. “Wah Dis God” had some minor success for the Deejay, and was one of the tracks that built his momentum leading up to his biggest single to date, 2002’s “Party Time“. Armed with a gritty voice and sometimes tapping into a British accent, Danny English was one of the acts to know in the late 1990s/early 2000s.

Since the release of “Wah Dis God”, Danny English went on to release more singles, and perform in various parts of the world. He disappeared out of the spotlight for a number of years due to various reasons, but made appearances in recent times with live performances and new singles, and was gaining traction. On Friday January 24, it was reported that the Deejay lost his battle with Diabetes, and since then, there have been a number of tributes. May Danny English’s legacy be carried on by those who genuinely loved him, and may he sleep in peace.

Thank You Danny English For this Hit! Sleep Well.

.@MrVegasMusic Stays Positive For 2025 With “Alive”

Posted on by swadedavillain

When you hear the name “Mr. Vegas” sometimes, you’re hearing about some commentary from him on Social Media, or some drama. The other times, you’re hearing that he released some good music, and for 27 years, he has released a number of great singles. Showing that he still has it, he starts the new year on a good note with, “Alive (Year 2025)“.

Released through MV Music, Mr. Vegas starts the year with a positive vibe, and an energy to keep you dancing and staying uplifted in “Alive (Year 2025)”. Vegas looks back at the past year that had a few negative patches, and encourages us all to make this year our best one. In the accompanying Music Video, he promotes staying healthy, and encourages us to look out for one another as he is seen helping a number of people. One of the persons he has helped out recently, was former Jamaica Popular Song Contestant Clive “Snowball” Brown. He gained popularity for his 1994 entry, “Chiquitita“, but years later fell on some hard times. Vegas played a part in helping him out, and the video highlights them interacting and having a happy moment. No matter what they can say about Mr. Vegas, he’ll drop a really good song. Tune in fi di new year.

Witty Shares Visual For “Louis V”

Posted on by swadedavillain

2025 may just be Witty’s year. The past year found the public proclaiming the Deejay to be someone unworthy of the coveted “Buss“, but he has been putting in the work, getting their attention in the process. That’s still a win, but the hit song to put him in the mainstream is pending. Nonetheless, while his name is being called in posts, videos, and tweets, he’s releasing content like the Music Video for the track, “Louis V“.

Directed by Bussweh Visuals and starring emerging Video Vixen Zho, Witty busy at work in the garage in “Louis V”. He has his eyes on the bad gyal dem, plotting and scheming on getting to the money, and of course rocking some Louis Vuitton gear. The naysayers may come along, but Witty is busy building a catalogue that might become valuable in the future. “Louis V” was released through Pharmacy Records/Questimes, and was previewed a number of times on Social Media. This may be his last year of being “Unknown“.

.@MicalTeja & Coutain Celebrate “Riddim” In New Collaboration

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today (January 24), we celebrate 13 years since our first official post on this platform. Thanks to those who have been here from the start, and we look forward to doing even more. We’re also celebrating new music, this time it’s from Trini Acts Mical Teja and Coutain as they share their new collaboration called, “Riddim“.

Co-Produced by Mical Teja, Tano, and Supayouth, “Riddim” is a celebration of the music, and its many forms by Teja and Coutain. Whatever your flavour of music, it is sure to call your name wherever you are, and you have to answer it. Teja and Coutain share melodies throughout, and deliver a song that is bound to ignite something great in you. The accompanying Music Video, directed by Captain Plexx, features two characters who come from different backgrounds and stories, with them being connected by the Riddim that calls them throughout. The video highlights the Steelpan, the Tassa Drum, a number of Mas characters including the Jab Molassie, the Midnight Robber, the Moko Jumbie, and the Dame Lorraine, and traditional East Indian dance, all of which are a part of Trinidad’s culture, and should be preserved. This visual is for the culture, and should inspire more Artists to tap into their respective cultures. We hope that our readers/viewers tune in to this, and be inspired.

Nigy Boy Is A Lover Boy, He Doesn’t Want “Problems”

Posted on by swadedavillain

“The Blind Casanova” strikes again! Nigy Boy made 2024 one of his biggest years, and rightfully earned “Rookie of the Year” recognition. More hits are on the way, and of course, more gyalis adventures like in the visual for the single, “Problems”.

Directed by TR Productions, Nigy Boy continues his quest to get all the ladies in “Problems”. He doesn’t care about the other Man, he just wants to get close every Woman, and he gets closer with every note. Whether he’s on the beachside or in the streets, Nigy’s hunt never ends. If you’re a bad gyal and know how to stun with your presence, he wants to get to know you, and probably bring along another Woman for company. “Problems” was produced by DJ Big Skipp, was previewed late last year, and it finds Nigy sharing his adventures over NY Drill-inspired production. What does Nigy Boy have planned for the year? We’ll just have to stay tuned to find out, as we know he’s on the prowl for the next addition to his list.
