Zaila-Jazz Gets Caught Up In Love On “Dangerous” Single

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recently, Crawba Genius of Crawba Productions released the compilation project called, “Reggae Alive“. The release features a lineup of upcoming and emerging acts, channeling great sounds, and delivering great music. One of the upcoming acts aims to be a breakout star, and become a dominant force in the future. Her name is Zaila-Jazz, and she shares her single called, “Dangerous“.

The Crawba Productions-helmed “Dangerous” single by Zaila-Jazz finds her getting caught up in love. She admits that this situation has gotten her out of character, as she finds herself spending hours on the phone with her love interest, thinking abut him more often, and realizing how this love has taken over her life, seeing how effective it is. Some see this kind of love as dangerous, but she welcomes it. Zaila is a new Artist on the scene with a couple releases to her name, and she comes from a musically-diverse family. We look forward to her carving a solid lane in music, and creating a legacy like those before her. Get familiar.

Where are the Beauty Content Creators? Where are the Makeup Addicts? On April 10, Jamaica officially got added to the list of Islands that exclusively sells Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty line. Held at the Fontana Pharmacy at their Waterloo branch in Kingston, the official retailer, the beauty line includes an assortment of makeup products, and skin products under the “Fenty Skin” brand.

The event was attended by many Social Media/Internet Influencers and Personalities, and there were demonstrations by some of the best Caribbean Makeup Artists out along with giveaways and exclusive deals.

Rajahwild Rolls Up Something Good On “Bonsai Tree”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Some days can be tough to deal with, especially Mondays. For some, they get by with just focusing on work or school, others find something to keep them distracted. For all the other days, Dancehall Artist Rajahwild keeps something close by to get him on the clouds. He floats on the new single, “Bonsai Tree“.

Produced by Pantason/Shaqadon Productions on the “Weed & Grabba Riddim“, Rajahwild rolls up something good on “Bonsai Tree”. Rajah delivers something for the smokers and stoners, and it will definitely put them all on cloud 9, staying afloat over the stress or frustration they may go through. The herb that Rajah enjoys keeps him higher than ever, and even finds him speaking in Japanese. In the end, he is as calm as one can be who tends to a Bonsai Tree. Rajahwild has been busy releasing new music these past few weeks, and has been performing in various parts of the Caribbean and the US, and is gearing up to join Alkaline at the UK staging of “New Rules“, and in Jamaica with Aidonia at his 20th anniversary concert. Roll up with the Sinful smoker.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Innocent Kru – Impossible Train (1998)

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s another “Oldies Sunday” moment! We appreciate everyone who has been tuning in for our various selections. Today’s entry takes us back to the late 90s/early 2000s. We check out “Impossible Train” by Innocent Kru.

Produced by Sly & Robbie for Taxi Records and released in 1998, it was a display of lyrics and styles on “Impossible Train” by Innocent Kru. Comprised of cousins Benzly Hype, Dapsy Daps, Copper Kid, and Macka Head, this was the crew’s official debut single, and they kicked off things in a big way. The production sampled the theme music from the hit TV/Film franchise “Mission: Impossible“, and was given the real Dancehall treatment as each member delivered verses that had listeners rewinding. The creation of the track came by accident as it was originally a freestyle on the Riddim. Under the direction of Sly & Robbie, it was suggested to be recorded, and made an official track. “Impossible Train” was an instant hit for Innocent Kru, and crossed over to the International market shortly after its release. The track was featured on the group’s 2001 debut album, “Innocent“, and was a mainstay on many mixes.

Since the release of “Impossible Train”, the Innocent Kru went on to release more music. Members of the group would later venture into solo efforts, but their future successes together and apart never surpassed what “Impossible Train” gave them. Benzly Hype went on to release music, dabbled into TV/Film and released a series called “Me & Mi Kru” that quickly became a hit and featured guest appearances by members of the group, and worked with a number of Artists over the years as a Producer. Dapsy Daps a.k.a. “Clumsy Daps” released music over the years, but passed away in the 2010s. “Impossible Train” remains the group’s biggest hit.

Thank You Innocent Kru For This Classic!

Pablo YG Works Hard To “Obtain” Riches

Posted on by swadedavillain

Dancehall Artist Pablo YG is in it to win it. Since his breakout in the early part of the 2020s, he has been climbing up the ladder of success, securing more hits, and building more fanbases around the world. The Deejay recently performed in Europe, and we know that at one point, he didn’t think that would’ve been possible. But he keeps working to gain more. He shares his aspirations in the single, “Obtain“.

Produced by Simple Boss Records, Pablo YG celebrates that life has been good to him in “Obtain”. Remembering the days when he had struggles, he’s grateful for the times he can now command good money to perform his songs, and connect with people who he’d never think would’ve been familiar with him. No more days of frustration, just days where he can get into gear for success. It may be a little overdue for a new project from Pablo YG, but let’s see how the rest of the year turns out. He was one of Dancehall’s Rookies of the year, and now he’s a star player in the Dancehall league. Getting rich and richer.

Posted on by swadedavillain

UK-based Dancehall Artist S Pri returned to the scene recently with the release of the single, “Back At It“. Since then, he has been gaining positive feedback, and he even shared on Instagram what getting back to the music meant to him. His renewed energy for the music has him ready to deliver even more in the coming months, with “Back At It” being at the helm. Earlier, he followed up with the official Music Video.

Directed by Igor Tafelski, S Pri takes it to the Studio in the video for the Alystr Nash-produced “Back At It”. Being around the music and the Women are important to his creativity, and they show up well throughout. The flashy visual will be well-received, and is just a taste of what S Pri has in store. The Deejay looks forward to performing “Back At It”, reintroduce himself to those who have been tuning to him since his days as “Jami Dread“, and continue to uphold the standard as a student of Dancehall Music.
