.@FiveSteez Shows Longevity With @SonRaw-Featured “The Test Of Time” EP

Posted on by swadedavillain

Since the inception of this platform in 2012, we’ve featured Jamaican Hip Hop. One of the acts who lead the charge with the genre was Rapper Five Steez. Active since the 2000s, he has inspired many to be a part of the culture, and attracted more eyes on the “First Coast“. 2025 still finds him putting out music, and earlier he premiered the new EP, “The Test Of Time“.

Done in collaboration with Canadian DJ/Producer Son Raw and a follow up to their “RE:DEFined” EP, “The Test Of Time” is Five Steez’s latest EP, and a testament to his longevity. Consisting of 4 tracks, we get an exhibition of a seasoned Hip Hop veteran who expertly handled well-crafted sample-based production. Steez shares his stories, his thoughts, his dedication, and continued focus throughout the project, and it will connect with the right people. Listeners who have followed Steez for a great length of time have witnessed his growth in the music, and will remember his early stages, and look forward to even more in his evolution. 4 tracks aren’t enough when it comes to Steez, so expect another roll out later this year. Get the headphones and speakers ready, and tune in.

450 Shares “Pieces Of Me” With Debut Album

Posted on by swadedavillain

In a scene where many are fighting for a Crown, Dancehall Artist 450 holds his own, and prospers in his lane. The Kingston-based Recording Artist born Tristen Escoffery has maintained a presence ever since his 2021 breakthrough single, “Imperfection”, and continues to quiet the naysayers with his hit-making prowess. His melodic delivery paired with solid songwriting has made him a stand out, and whether he’s making music for the streets or the ladies, his catalogue’s value increases, along with his growing global following. The 2020s found him not only conquering the charts and streams with singles like “Journey”, “Live N’ Learn”, “Gyal Thief”, “Wild N Rich”, “Bad Gyal”, but selling out events locally and Internationally, scoring brand deals in Corporate Jamaica, and becoming a sex symbol for his Female audience. His time has come for a huge milestone in his career, and that’s the release of his debut album.

“Pieces Of Me” is 450’s first official full-length project, and thanks to the Singjay’s release history, it promises to be one of the top Caribbean releases of 2025. The album is a dedication to the journey leading up to his first taste of success, and the people who have supported him and continue to support along the way, his highs and lows, and a deeper look into a Man who has worked hard to get to where he is today. Tru Ambassador Ent., the label that not only nurtured 450’s artistry, but guided him to success, handles the release of the album. The label is owned by Jahvel “Jahvy Ambassador” Morrision, lead Producer and 450’s Manager, and he believes that “Pieces Of Me” is a classic already, and will be go down as an important part of Jamaican music’s continued evolution.

Featuring 16 tracks, 450 has offered plenty for the old and new listeners, and an appeal for major International reach. The album covers high moments and times of struggle, provides motivation, flexes some storytelling, and showcases the growth of  450. The Tru Ambassador team of Jahvy, Weekday, and Falconn are onboard for the album’s production along with IconixBeatz and Delroy Williams, while UK’s Stefflon Don is the sole guest feature. The journey had its stumbles, but 450 has made it through to greatness. As he focuses on more success, tune in to pieces of his life.

Najeeriii x Dethwrld "Luv@2AM" on 13thStreetPromotions.com #Jamaica #Dancehall #Music #13thStreetPromotions #Najeeriii #Dethwrld #LuvAt2AM #FrancWhite #McVertt #EP #Caribbean

Najeeriii Finds “Luv@2AM” On Surprise Project WIth @DethWrld

Posted on by swadedavillain

Dancehall Artist Najeeriii is building up for a big Summer in his career. The past few weeks found him premiering new music, and is getting back to a consistency that many know him for. He even released a mixtape earlier this year, with the announcement of his debut album made known along with it. While no details of that album are present, he dropped a surprise EP in the meantime called, “LUV@2AM“.

Done in collaboration with DethWrld Records, Najeeriii aims for the ladies with the surprise 6 track EP, “LUV@2AM”. He delivers some of his raunchiest songs on this project, and despite the time stated in the title, that love can be acquired at any time this project is set on “Play“. The tone is set with the EP’s opener “BEST B****” as it features a lil sexual aggression, but still leaves space for complimenting a Woman who knows how to make the sexual experience a unique one. The theme continues on “SHE LUV E” as it highlights a Woman who knows who she wants, and she’ll make it a moment to remember. The title track that follows breaks the tensions, and the production takes the listener into scene where things are about to get raunchier. “NEED YUH” is self-explanatory, and Najeeriii is not going about it in an unethical way to get his needs met. The EP’s closers “NAUGHTY” and “TRIP” cool things down, but will have listeners wanting another round, and for that another EP would have to follow up.

“LUV@2AM” features hypnotizing production by DethWrld, Franc White, and Mcvertt. It may get a little chilly at 2 AM, but something hot and heavy will be going down with Najeeriii’s new EP is in rotation.
