Top Banks Talks About The “West Gal” Dem On New Single

Posted on by swadedavillain

Dancehall Artist Top Banks continues to occupy more of the Jamaican music scene, as well as the Social Media scene. Over the past few months, he has been getting more bookings, seeing more growth in his fanbase, and stacking up the streaming numbers. With Producer/Manager Steel Chest guiding him, there’s even more to achieve. When it comes to the Women, the Deejay has a love for them, but there’s something special about those Women from the Western part of Jamaica. He speaks about them in, “West Gal“.

Produced by DJ Mac/Rockit Muzik, Top Banks gives it up for the ladies from the West in, “West Gal”. He doesn’t bite his tongue here, and from the raunchy lyrics to the aggressive energy, he knows that the Women stay close to his heart. Yes, the Women from the East have their own flair, but there’s something about the other ones. Fans of Top Banks outside of Jamaica can start to get their money ready and keep their promoters on speed dial as the month of October will find the Deejay making his debut in Canada on the 11th, and taking on Guyana for the first time on the 30th. Stay tuned for even more from the “Team Corruption” Boss.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Jimmy James – Come To Me Softly (1966)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today on “Oldies Sunday“, we’re bringing to you a lil soul. The Caribbean has produced a number of Soul Singers over the years, and their sounds have tapped into every part of the world. For today’s selection, we look back at Jimmy James’ (whose birthday is recognized today) “Come To Me Softly“.

Arranged by Anthony King and released through the Gaydisc label in 1966, Jimmy James (in some versions include his group The Vagabonds) sang about that good ol’ love in, “Come To Me Softly”. Paired with welcoming production, this song was the one to slow dance to with your lover. James’ approach pulled the heartstrings of many listeners, and it quickly became a hit. The popularity of an early release of the song was so huge, that it prompted James to leave his job with the Inland Revenue to pursue music full time. “Come To Me Softly” would appear on Jimmy James & The Vagabonds’ 1966 album, “The New Religion“.

Since the release of “Come To The Me Softly”, Jimmy James would go on to record more singles, and score more hits over the years. He took his talents to the UK and developed a following there, and shared the stage with the likes of Rod Stewart, The Who, Sonny & Cher, Ben E. King, and many others. Jimmy James passed away in 2024, and many still play his music including “Come To Me Softly”, which is his most successful release.

THANK YOU JIMMY JAMES FOR THIS TRACK!

.@OriginalKoffee Ends Her Summer With A Party “OVA SO”

Posted on by swadedavillain

If you partied hard this Summer, kudos to you, but we believed Recording Artist Original Koffee partied the hardest thanks to the release of a number of singles over these past few weeks. While in a party mood, she brought the vibe to Jamaica, and various parts of the world, and the vibe was contagious. Closing off the season, she comes through with the new single, “OVA SO“.

Produced by Cadenza with a Reggie Stepper sample, Original Koffee is here for a good time with “OVA SO”. While the previous singles sparked some fun vibes, the new release aims to keep the energy going, and be a welcomed closer for some. The Summer season may be over, but album season is on the way, and long overdue for the Artist. Stay tuned for another serving of Koffee.

Najeeriii Has His Eyes On The Prize For “SISU” Album

Posted on by swadedavillain

Success is something we all attain for. No matter what industry or job we’re in, we all want our rewards, earnings, and accolades. Dancehall Artist Najeeriii had this in mind ever since he decided to step into the music scene. From a Teenager writing lyrics in class, to having hit singles, to performing on various stages, he has accomplished what many are working towards. He hasn’t reached his ultimate goal yet, but he’s getting there. With his sophomore album “SISU“, he’s saying that success for him is simply unavoidable.

Featuring 11 tracks, Najeeriii is on a mission for his gold with his 2nd album, “SISU”. He gained respect for his debut album “Book Of Bob“, and now he wants everything that’s deserving to him. The album features aspirations of generational wealth, the spoils of his work and hustle, music for the ladies, and something for the streets to keep in rotation. The Deejay looks to earn a bigger breakout this time around, catapulting his name to even more places. Released through Hacakdat Recordings/Senegal Productions/Hapilos Records, production on the new album includes the likes of Rahim McDaniel, Romarei Ashley, Jordon Loud, Stephan Mills and more, and he shares the stage with ffawty this time around. From his breakout with “Panton“, Najeeriii has come a long way, but his story is not over. Time to watch him make the best moves for success.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Ernest Wilson – Money Worries (1967)

Posted on by swadedavillain

We’re in the month of September, and like other months, the bills are here. In the Caribbean, September starts the new school year, and everything from the tuition to the school supplies are pricey. Some parents have been saving for most of the year, and still come up short. No matter the year or decade, there has been a song about cost of living, and today’s “Oldies Sunday” selection covers one of them. Today, we go back in time to check out Ernest Wilson’s “Money Worries“.

Produced by “Sir Coxsone” Dodd and released through Studio One in 1967, Ernest Wilson cries at the rising costs of everything in, “Money Worries”. He shares how the everyday Man is affected as they work hard, only to receive so little in the end. He also sheds light on his family life as even putting gas in the car puts a major dent in the household funds. “Money Worries” quickly became a hit for Wilson, and spawned a number of remixes over the years, with other Producers getting involved. The relatable lyrics were true then, and still holds weight today.

Since the release of “Money Worries”, Ernest Wilson continued to release music. His music releases were short-lived, and he would work as an Aviation Supervisor at the Norman Manley International Airport. He was the founding member of The Clarendonians with Peter Austin, and he introduced a young Freddie McGregor (who was sometimes a member, and was a part of a duo with Wilson) to Coxsone Dodd, and the rest is history. Ernest Wilson passed away in 2021, but many still remember his numerous releases, including “Money Worries”.

THANK YOU ERNEST WILSON FOR THIS TRACK!
