OLDIES SUNDAY: Conky – Sweet Mother (1978)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today is for the Mom, Mama, Mommy, Ma, Grandma, Auntie, and Mother. It’s Mother’s Day on “Oldies Sunday“, and we send a shout out to them all. Today’s selection comes from the late Calypsonian, Mighty Conqueror a.k.a. Conky with the track, “Sweet Mother“.

Arranged by Art De Couteau, “Sweet Mother” was released in 1978 through the Jumbo Caribbean Disco label. Conky’s track was a cover of Cameroonian/Nigerian Singer Prince Nico Mbarga’s mega popular track that was released in 1976. The song speaks of a person’s gratitude towards their Mother as she has been there for them in every stage of life. Even when she’s not physically present, a Mother and her love are not forgotten in the heart of her Child. Conky’s version of “Sweet Mother” was a popular track in the Caribbean, and was highlighted yearly in some Islands including his home of Trinidad & Tobago. Celebrate your Mom today, and every day of the year.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

Tenor Saw’s “On Top Of The World” Sampled In @GhostfaceKillah’s “Champion Sound”

Posted on by swadedavillain

When Dancehall meets Hip Hop, it’s always a vibe. Recently, Hip Hop legend and member of the iconic Wutang Clan Ghostface Killah released his latest album, “Set The Tone“. The album is the Rapper’s 12th solo studio release, and it features a number of big names, and he taps into new and familiar sounds. One of the familiar sounds dates back to the 1980s, and it highlights one of Dancehall’s classic Vocalists.

On the track “Champion Sound” off of Ghostface Killah’s “Set The Tone” album, the late Tenor Saw’s “On Top Of The World” was sampled. The track was made as a Dubplate for the Stereo Mars Sound System, which was owned by Businessman Kenneth Black a.k.a. “Skeng Don“, and was played at a PNP (The People’s National Party) Rally in 1986. Tenor Saw had a successful music career in the 1980s and was one of the most influential voices in the early digital Reggae/Dancehall era, but his potential and life was cut short in 1988. “Champion Sound” was produced by Ghostface and Danny Caiazzo, and features US-based Dancehall Artist Beniton, who holds his own alongside the New York Hip Hop legend. Ghostface Killah’s “Set The Tone” album is out now.

Posted on by swadedavillain

If you have been an avid user of TikTok these past few weeks, you have heard a sound with the lyrics, “Days tun inna weeks, weeks tun inna months, months tun inna years…“. That sound and those lyrics belong to Nile SNL, and he has been making music that resonate with many listeners for a while now. The aforementioned lyrics became so popular with TikTokers that the sound itself became a viral sensation producing a number of hilarious videos, with many demanding for the full song. Well, today is the day for Nile SNL’s official release of, “Poem Of Chop” a.k.a. “Days Tun Inna Weeks“.

Produced by Overyard Production, “Poem Of Chop” is Nile SNL’s “Choppa Ballad” as he shares the lengths he goes for the lady in his life. As a Scammer in love, he shares some of his many episodes of handling business just so he could afford his lady’s lifestyle. He admits he wasn’t always a believer of love, but there’s something about her that makes all the “chopping” worth it. Turning lead sheets into expensive gifts, the things that love makes many of us do. Nile melodically delivers with his Poem, and we can expect “Poem Of Chop” to do really well outside of Social Media. Love is a thing eh?

Teejay’s “Drift” Single & Dance Featured In Popular @FortniteGame Series

Posted on by swadedavillain

Gamers unite! There’s nothing like kicking back and enjoying a few hours of Video Games. While some may have other opinions on gaming and gamers, we don’t want to hear all that, just turn up the volume. If you’re a lover of Dancehall, then stick around for this. Recently, popular online gaming series “Fortnite” gave users a few new updates that included new skins, weapons, music, and Emotes, and music from Dancehall Artist Teejay was included in the new update.

Teejay’s 2023 hit single “Drift” was featured in the latest update of the popular “Fortnite” gaming series. Produced by DJ Mac/ProdByPanda, “Drift” placed the Deejay on another level. From the “Drift Challenge” on TikTok, to remixes, to a label deal with Warner Bros., “Drift” becoming a part of the soundtrack for “Fortnite” just extended its shelf life. In addition to the single, an “Emote” (an action or series of animated actions done by a gamer’s in-game avatar) was created to perform the popular “Drift” dance by any character that possesses it. The dance was created by Gabbidon, and is a huge look for the Jamaican Dancing community, Dancehall, and the Video Game Industry as this can open up even more doors for Caribbean Artists. “Drift” was featured on Teejay’s “I Am Chippy” EP, and gained cosigns by a number of local and International personalities. “Fortnite” was developed by Epic Games, and is free to download on all popular console game platforms along with Windows, Android, and MacOS/iOS (despite an ongoing court battle between Apple and Epic Games).

OLDIES SUNDAY: Thriller Prince – Teach The Children (1996)

Posted on by swadedavillain

The Month of May is recognized as “Child’s Month“, and on “Oldies Sunday“, we feature content that highlights former Child Stars in Caribbean music, or music that supported the children. For today’s selection, we look back at Thriller Prince’s “Teach The Children“.

Produced by Richard Bell on the “Baltimore Riddim“, “Teach The Children” was released through the Star Trail label in 1996. The song finds Thriller Prince spreading the message of good parenting, emphasizing raising children in the right way, guiding them to live fulfilling lives, and trodding on the right paths. Thriller melodically delivers over the solid production, and the messages shared are still relevant today. The song gained attention locally and parts of the world, and is a solid one on the “Baltimore Riddim”.

Since the release of “Teach The Children”, Thriller Prince continued to be an active Artist. Under a new alias Izeezi, he continued to release more music, and was recently a part of some performance events in parts of Jamaica. “Teach The Children” is still recognized by some.

Thank You Thriller Prince For This Tune.
