Splinter XL Brings The Darkness In “Screw The World”

Posted on by swadedavillain

When Jamaicans think outside the box, expect greatness. While Dancehall and Reggae continue to dominate, we have Artists dabbling in Hip Hop, Pop, EDM, Afrobeats, DnB, Rock, and a lot more. Speaking of Rock, have you heard of Jamaican Rocker Splinter XL? For a number of years, he has been showcasing his foray into the genre, tapping into different elements, and bringing out another side of expression. Hear him roar on the new single, “Screw The World“.

Self-Produced and released through SplinterNite Records, Splinter XL brings the melodies, the darkness, and the wrath in, “Screw The World”. Splinter brings a sound that many would quick to attribute to International Artists, but this is all made on home turf. He joins the list of many Artists who are influenced by genres outside of Reggae and Dancehall, and aims to take his own movement and sound to the next level. Fans of “Screw The World” can look forward to a Music Video which is currently being developed. If you’re new here, today’s the day to get familiar with what Jamaica’s music scene has to offer. Rock on, Splinter XL.

Garnet Silk Jr Releases “There Is Love” Single

Posted on by swadedavillain

Reggae Music is a vibe, and is the music for healing. In a time where conflicts arise, we need unity, and we need love. Recording Artist Garnet Silk Jr. believes in love, and the world needs it abundantly. He sends a positive charge to the world with the single, “There Is Love“.

Released through Reuben Order Records, Garnet Silk Jr. aims to stop the wars, cast away the darkness, and bring the people together in, “There Is Love”. Presenting great vocals and drum-heavy production, Silk stands tall and militant with a message that aims to connect with the people, bringing them closer to Jah. Like his Father before him, the music is one of the best tools to use in times like these where people are focused on corruption and division. Garnet Silk Jr. aims to bring more music to the forefront in 2026, and performances including a follow up to the “Garnet Silk Legacy Day” Event, and listeners can stay tuned. Even after this holiday season, remember Jah is love, and the world needs unity.

Suspense & Nhance Go At It In “Broken Pieces (Remix)”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Couples fight everyday. Some work it out, others go to the extreme before calling it quits. Some pairings are never the best, while others are blessings. Dancehall Artist Suspense has had her share of bad relationships, and with “Broken Pieces (Remix)“, she makes one play out in the spotlight.

Featuring Dancehall “Monsta” Nhance, Suspense joins him in a war of words in, “Broken Pieces (Remix)”. With a video directed by JV Cinematic, the Artists play out their beef onscreen, from ignoring calls, to getting at each other vocally and nearly physically, to further separating themselves in the end. Produced by Tego Boss/Jahstarks Records, Suspense’s original track brought her some attention earlier this year, and with Nhance onboard for the remix, we can see these two taking it further with follow up releases. If the creative freedom is there, this could be a properly produced skit, with the Artists sharpening their acting skills. While the season is for unity, there is a lot of division going on. Hang in there.

.@LongLiveLordKez Takes It To The Streets In “You, Me & The 90’s”

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s been a few months since South African Artist LordKez released her EP, “You, Me & The 90’s“, and she has been gaining a lot of love since. With her global reach increasing, she wasn’t going to take her foot off the gas. Before ending her year, she dropped a colourful visual for, “You, Me & The 90’s”.

Directed by Fred-From-Yesterday, LordKez takes it to the streets with the release of the visual for, “You, Me & The 90’s”. Joined by her girls (Tarryn Alberts, Letoya Scheepers, Nia Vasquez, and Gomo Maloka), they bust out the dance moves in the Bus Stop (with many of our Caribbean viewers instantly seeing the African/Caribbean connection), at the Convenience Store, and in the parking lot. The colourful visual highlights Kez’s love for the music, dance, and of course the 90s vibes. The title track was produced by Jordan Klem, and is a fave for many. 2026 looks to be a big year for the South African star, and we encourage you to get familiar, and keep LordKez in your Playlist.
