Chronic Law Shares His “Gangsta’s Prayer”.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Who is working as hard as Chronic Law in Dancehall right now? He reminds us of the days when Vybz Kartel had at least 5 songs out almost every week, on almost every new Riddim. The “Law Boss” has kept his fans happy with the new content, and this new selection finds him collaborating with International professionals. Check out “Gangsta’s Prayer“.

Produced by US-based Producers Hundred Hours Entertainment and Crown Media House, Chronic Law continues to shares his thoughts over some great sounds. Always aware of his surroundings and the people he converses with, “Law Boss” stays ready for whatever may unfold, furthering emphasizing how important trust is in his life. He gives us a melodic delivery here, and fans will definitely enjoy this one. Hundred Hours Ent./Crown Media House previously worked with Jada Kingdom, IWaata, Malie Donn, and released the “Street Hours Riddim“. Keep this one in your rotation.

.@MasickaMusic Secures New “Shootaz” Collaboration With Vybz Kartel!

Posted on by swadedavillain

A few years ago, Dancehall Artists Masicka and Vybz Kartel created a wave with their 1st collaboration called, “Infrared“. The track turned out to be an instant between the “World Boss“, and the “Genahsyde Boss“. Many wondered if they’ll ever trade verses again, but today the wondering has ceased. Today, we hear the track, “Shootaz“.

Produced by Adidjahiem Records, Masicka and Vybz Kartel step out with another aggressive collaboration. These two rule the space, and anyone who wishes to oppose, they’ll be slapped silly and sent flying into nearby bushes. It’s a GazaGenahsyde, and things will get ugly if needs be. Masicka recently secured a deal with the infamous Def Jam Records, with a promise that a new album will be released later this year. Unfortunately for Vybz Kartel, his efforts for an appeal were futile, and fans can only hope they’ll see the “World Boss” walking as a free man someday. In the meantime, there’s new music to enjoy.

Jamaica Salutes Legendary Songwriter Thom Bell In Our New Playlist!

Posted on by swadedavillain

As we close another Black History Month, we use this last day to honour a Jamaican who helped to shape the musical landscape. His name is Thom Bell, and he is the co-creator of the “Philadelphia Soul” that reigned the 1970s. A Songwriter, Producer, Composer, and Arranger, Thom Bell gave the world classics, and has influenced generations. Today, we salute him with our latest Playlist titled, “Jamaica Sings For Thom Bell“.

Featuring 14 tracks (more would’ve been added if they were available for streaming), we highlight some of the Jamaican Artists who have covered songs that were either written, produced, or arranged by Thom Bell. From John Holt, to Horace Andy, to Boris Gardiner, to Alton Ellis, to Etana, we hear covers of classics by The Delfonics, Deneice Williams, The Stylistics, and more. Listeners can learn something new, or reconnect with songs that affected them in ways when they first heard them in the new Playlist. Soul Music along with R&B sounds have a heavy influence in Jamaican music, so it’s only right that many of the American classics were covered by some of the Jamaican greats. The late Thom Bell gave the world something special, and his work will continue to entertain and inspire. Thank you for everything Thom Bell, rest well.

Jamaicans Sing @BurtBacharach Hits In Our New Playlist!

Posted on by swadedavillain

On February 8, the music world lost one of the most influential persons in Pop Music, the late Burt Bacharach. With his songwriting, production, and various compositions whether solo or done with collaborators, Bacharach has given us some of the greatest songs and sounds, helped to elevate the careers of some of the best Artists including Dionne Warwick, Tom Jones, and Dusty Springfield, and scored Films such as “Casino Royale” (a James Bond Parody), “Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid“, “Arthur“, and “A Boy Called Po“. His work has influenced many, and in our latest Playlist, we cover some of the Jamaican Artists who have covered his songs.

In the “Jamaica Sings Burt Bacharach!” Playlist, we’ve featured 18 tracks that have given hit songs from the late Burt Bacharach a Jamaican touch. From Dennis Brown, to Wayne Wonder, to Diana King, to Dobby Dobson, get yourself familiar or reacquainted with some great music that came to life by Bacharach’s genius. Jamaicans covering some of your favourite International songs always went hand in hand, and we hope to cover a few more like this in the future. Sleep well Burt Bacharach.

Earlier this week, couples of all sorts celebrated their version of love on Valentine’s Day. A lot of music was released this week in celebration of it, including US Recording Artists Don Toliver and Kali Uchis’ single titled, “4 Me“. The Artists, who are an item in real life, showed off not only their skills, but them being a winning pair right now. One addition in making their collaboration a big deal, was it sampling a Dancehall classic.

On Don Toliver and Kali Uchis’ “4 Me”, Dancehall Icon Beenie Man’s “Girls Dem Sugar” was sampled throughout! Released in September of 2000, “Girls Dem Sugar” featured US Recording Artist Mya, and was produced by The Neptunes. The track was a remix of Beenie’s 1997 hit “Who Am I (Sim Simma)“, and was featured on his 2000 GRAMMY-winning album, “Art and Life“. “4 Me” sampled various parts of the hit single, and is expected to become a favourite for fans and new listeners alike.”4 Me” will be featured on Toliver’s “LoveSick” album which is due on February 24.
