Mavado & Valiant Give Thanks For The “Big Blessing”

Posted on by swadedavillain

2026 is the year the Gullyside returns in full form. Mavado has adjusted his focus, looks forward to taking on the world with his Gaza peer this Summer, and we look forward to what’s next. Keeping it music, earlier he premiered, “Big Blessing“.

Produced by Keno4Star/JA Productions and featuring Valiant, Mavado focuses on success in, “Big Blessing”. The Deejays reflect on days when they didn’t have it, and now they’re securing Millions, having a life they worked for, and proving the haters wrong. The success is evident on the Deejays in the Damaniac Visualz-directed music video, and it’s toasting to the good life, having the Mansion in the hills, and being around the people who helped to make the dream come to life. The Gullyside/Diplomats collaboration will find favour with the fans, and we hope these two have more in store. The “Gully Gad” reclaims his streets.

Elephant Man Channels Elvis In “Falling In Love”

Posted on by swadedavillain

For over 30 years, Elephant Man has delivered the hits, and he continues to get the people going. The year has found him releasing a bunch of new music already, and you can bet he has even more for the rest of the year. Today, he gives you something new mixed with something old. Check out, “Falling In Love“.

Released through Energy God Productions, Elephant Man taps into Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling In Love” from 1961 to show love to the ladies who know how to keep him coming back for more, and “Falling In Love”. He takes it a step further by channeling Elvis for the music video in which he directed. From the hair to the suit, Ele had the ladies cheering him on throughout his performance, and this just some of Ele’s signature style when it comes to his visual content. Like he always says, “Thirst is nothing, Image is everything“. If you haven’t checked out Elephant Man’s 2026 offerings, click here to see what you missed. Give it up for Ele Presley!

Samora Shares A Few Words As A “Suriname Gyal”

Posted on by swadedavillain

DJ Mac and Crash Dummyy’s “WYFL Riddim” continues to cross borders, and Artists are doing what they do best with the Riddim, and that’s creating. Stepping in from the Country of Suriname to take on the Riddim is Dancehall/Reggae Artist Samora, and she holds her own as a “Suriname Gyal“.

With a video directed by Res Staudenmann and Juste Kalouk, Samora brings the girls together, and shows domination as a “Suriname Gyal”. The video features some Choreography, and a whole lot of Caribbean attitude, and if you aren’t familiar with Samora, make that change today. With March being “Women’s History Month“, Samora puts on for her Country, and joins the long list of Artists who have contributed to a Riddim that continues to dominate the airwaves and spaces since its release in 2025. From Jamaica to Suriname, “WYFL” continues to fly.

Terra D Governor Gets Himself “Korra Katara” For Spicemas

Posted on by swadedavillain

Spicemas is on the way! The yearly Carnival event in Grenada is bound to bring out the most energetic people, and the season is looking to be one of the best yet. With Spicemas, it’s a time for unity, fun, good vibes, and sharing. For Recording Artist Terra D Governor, he got himself someone special for Spicemas, and it comes in the form of an animation fave. Check out, “Korra Katara“.

Produced by MadHead Productions, fans of the “Avatar: The Last Airbender” series will develop some jealousy because Terra D Governor got himself “Korra Katara”! For those familiar with the franchise but may be unfamiliar with the story, Korra Katara is the combination of two main characters, Korra in the spinoff series “The Legend Of Korra“, and Katara from the original “Avatar: The Last Airbender” series respectively. “The Legend Of Korra” featured the Protagonist learning and utilizing her Avatar powers to protect her city from spiritual and physical elements, while Katara played a supporting character in the original series, and made an appearance in the spinoff. In the video directed by Mafia.Image, Terra and his Katara (played by Choreographer/Carnival Ambassador Angie) venture through the Island and the various elements, and put on the moves. She can bend the elements, she can Jab Jab, and she is Korra. Ready for Spicemas?

.@BugleAn9ted & Maxi Priest Encourage Us To “Love Again”

Posted on by swadedavillain

It has been nearly 2 years since Recording Artist Bugle released his album, “Apex“, and the people are still loving it. When it comes to music that puts you in the right frame of mind, he is one of the curators of the sound. He gives the album more life with the video release of, “Love Again“.

Directed by Caribbean Gold Group, “Love Again” is a collaboration between Bugle, and Maxi Priest. Both being legends, they joined forces during the making of the “Apex” album to deliver a song that brings back the love in people, revitalizes the love that couples share, and spreads some hope for those yearning for real love. The video not only finds the Artists giving off their energy, but we see a couple take centerstage on a trip where they interact with each other, and take in the sights and sounds at the Tryall Club in Montego Bay. If Bugle keeps the content going, maybe we can get more visuals from the album, and previously-released albums. Maybe this legendary collab for example. Bring back the love.
