OLDIES SUNDAY: Laden – Time To Shine (2009)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today’s Oldies Sunday selection is a lil late, but we’re here. Today’s selection is dedicated to those who have dreams, ambitions, and a desire to win despite the odds they’re facing. We listen to Dancehall Artist Laden’s “Time To Shine“.

Produced by Stephen “Di Genius” McGregor and released through the Big Ship label in 2009, Laden provides a song that aims to uplift, and encourage. An Artist who is filled with potential and promise, he asks the question, “When is it going to be my time to shine?“. In a time when everyone is trying to make it, Laden was just looking for his big break. Formerly known as “Jim Laden“, the Deejay was a contestant in the 2006 season of the Digicel Rising Stars competition series. He gained popularity after placing at 8th place, but his career wasn’t gaining the right success at the time. “Time To Shine” came at a great time for him, and instantly became a hit. Paired with the popularity of “Di Genius” and his productions, “Time To Shine” took Laden to various parts of the world, and the song even had some commercial appeal as it appeared in a few campaigns.

Since the release of “Time To Shine”, Laden went on to enjoy moderate success, securing a number of hits over the years. He had some trouble with the law, but nowadays he’s more focused on making good music, and lending his expertise to the new generation of Artists. No matter where life takes him, “Time To Shine” remains his biggest, and most memorable single.

.@KyngTavii Introduces “Clozpin”, Releases “Call Name” Video

Posted on by swadedavillain

There’s a new Artist in town, and he is furious! Jamaican Comedian Kyng Tavii recently took the pleasure of introducing an Artist who will be creating a scene, and he goes by the name of “Clozpin“. Clozpin first made an appearance in the “Shhaat Him” video, but he’s here to take what is rightfully his. With the beat ready, he begins his tirade in the video for the track, “Call Name“.

Under the direction of Kyng Tavii and joined by Comedian Cuz and “VogueBoss” a.k.a. “Dangles“, Clozpin is heated, and is calling out the Artists who owe him. He shares that he has contributed to the development and success of some of your favourite Artists, and he is hellbent on destroying their careers, and taking his just due. He shares his scathing messages over the Instrumental for the 1996 Hip Hop classic “Hit ‘Em Up” by the late Tupac Shakur, which was a diss track aimed at the late Biggie Smalls. Clozpin also borrowed the track’s flow to send his points across. With high profile names called, we look forward to what will happen next as Clozpin means business.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Dancehall Artist Masicka is getting ready to create a storm. The Def Jam-signee has fans anticipating the follow up to his debut album “438“, and with support from the historic label, we can expect a serious rollout if done right. New content from Masicka is always good, and earlier he shared the visual for the new single, “Limelight“.

Directed by Ruppi for Now Or Never, Masicka finds himself in the hills away from the rest of the population. Taking the time to relax, reflect on good times, and realign his focus, we also get a few highlights of him taking the stage, and connecting with the people. The deejay gets busy in the hills until he gets a message from his people, and we see him suiting up like an Assassin who’s called up for a contract kill. Ready for the new SZN of the Genahsyde Boss? Stay tuned.

Doreen & Jackie’s “Welcome You Back Home” Featured In New @IkeaUSA Campaign

Posted on by swadedavillain

Jamaican music has so much power, it’s unreal sometimes. Just when you think it can’t pop up in something major, it comes as a surprise. Recently, Sweden-founded Furniture Retail giant IKEA launched their latest campaign in time for the holiday shopping season. Under the phrase “It’s All In The Bag“, IKEA highlights all the goodies that you can get in their stores for the home, it’s like making that dream house possible with everything from there. Throughout one of their latest Commercials, a familiar sound from the 876 can be heard.

Featured in IKEA’s “It’s All In The Bag” campaign is Doreen & Jackie’s hit single, “Welcome You Back Home“. Produced by “Sir Coxsone” Dodd with Instrumentation by the legendary band The Skatalites and released through Studio One in 1964, “Welcome You Back Home” was a duet with Doreen Shaffer and the late Jackie Opel about a couple who had falling outs and realizing that they need each other more than ever. Shaffer is known as the Queen of Ska, is a founding member and last surviving member of The Skatalites. Jackie Opel was a Bajan Recording Artist who was discovered by the late Byron Lee, credited for inventing Spouge Music (a fusion of Ska, Calypso, and R&B), and was known as the “Jackie Wilson of Bajan culture“. The Instrumental for “Welcome You Back Home” was played throughout the new IKEA Commercial. Just like the Furniture giant, Jamaican music has it all in the bag.
