Tony Matterhorn’s “Dutty Wine” Sampled On @RoyWoods’ New “X” Album

Jamaica has been the topic of discussion these past few days. From celebrating her 64th Independence, to New York hosting its first Jamaica-themed day parade, to her exports making things happen in music, sports and more, Jamaica is always a vibe. Toronto Recording Artist Roy Woods knows she’s a vibe as well. Recently, he released his latest album, “X“. Released through Drake’s OVO Sound, the Singer looks to take back his spot with 10 new tracks that aim to keep the listener in a groove. Having a Caribbean background, he tapped into a sound for one of the tracks, and many of us would instantly recognize it.

On track 7 of Roy Woods’ new “X” album called “Set Fire“, Dancehall Selector/Recording Artist Tony Matterhorn’s classic single “Dutty Wine” was sampled. Produced by Di Genius, a sample of the track’s Instrumental dominates the uptempo selection along with references to the “Dutty Wine” dance and lyrics. “Dutty Wine” was produced by SupaHype on the “Smash Riddim” and released through Hyperactive Entertainment in 2006, and is Tony Matterhorn’s most successful single as it broke ground on the International market, and never left. The dance caused quite the controversy over the years, but was adopted by many, including US Recording Artist Beyonce, who performed in a number of her routines.
