OLDIES SUNDAY: RDX – Bend Ova (2009)

Posted on by swadedavillain

When it comes to music during the Summertime in Jamaica, there was a certain type of music that would ensure the party was successful. There was the “Daggering” era that was filled with hits from some of your favourite Artists. This duo in particular had the era on lock with tune after tune, and they go by the names Delomar and Renigad a.k.a. RDX. Today’s Oldies Sunday selection from them is the single, “Bend Ova“.

Produced by Chad Simpson a.k.a. Dancehall Artist Mr. G on the “Wibble Wobble Riddim” and released through Young Blood label in 2009, RDX’s “Bend Ova” was a song that had one mission: to make the ladies DANCE! With the duo’s commanding lyrics, the intense energy throughout, and a Riddim that got things going, “Bend Ova” was made to cause a scene. The “Daggering” era was filled with sexual energy, and “Bend Ova” was one of the anthems as it instantly became one of the many hits for the Dancehall duo. The single was later released on various compilations, including the 2014 “Kotch EP“. “Bend Ova” also caught the attention of the Jamaica Broadcasting Commission who then banned the song, turning it into an even more popular song worldwide. Last year, it became a viral sensation on Social Media platform, TikTok that kicked off a challenge.

Since the release of “Bend Ova”, RDX went on to score more hits, and toured extensively. Unfortunately the duo parted ways in the late 2010s due to feuds, and as of last week, there’s no chance of them reuniting. RDX’s music is needed in the Dancehall scene that’s filled with “Choppa” songs, and many ladies have been unsuccessfully seeking alternatives to RDX. Let’s hope Delomar and Renigad really put things in the past, and get things going again.

Thank You RDX For This Hit!

.@MichaelBrun Recruits @CharlyBlack876, @SaintJHN, & @JPerryOfficial For “Jessica”

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s Summer, the vibes is right, and there’s a young lady who is dazzling to the eye, and the center of attention. She is the inspiration for a new single by Haitian DJ/Producer Michaël Brun called, “Jessica“.

“Jessica” brings talents from the Caribbean which includes Michaël Brun and J. Perry from Haiti, Charly Black from Jamaica, and SAINt JHN from Guyana (Colombia’s own J Balvin co-wrote and performed, and Jamaica’s Izy Beats co-wrote on this as well). The song finds the Artists infatuated over a young lady named Jessica, and they express how she has affected them. The Artists combine great melodies and lyrics, and we know all the Jessicas will be acting extra every time this song is played. “Jessica” is featured on Brun’s upcoming “FAMI SUMMER” EP, which will be packed with a few more songs that will raise the temperatures. Brun has been active for a number of years, and has worked with many of his Caribbean peers. Where is the Jessica in your life?

OLDIES SUNDAY: Toyan – Spar With Me (1981)

Posted on by swadedavillain

When it comes to Jamaican music, there is respect given to the Artist/Writer, and the Producer. What some forget about is the DJ/Selector who helps to break the Record. Before Social Media was a thing, it was the Disc Jockey who made sure your song got played. It’s still relevant in some scenarios today, and we still have to respect their role. Keeping with the theme of songs that may have been hits in the Summer, today’s Oldies Sunday selection comes from Toyan a.k.a. Rankin Toyan a.k.a. Pupa Toyan with his single, “Spar With Me“.

Produced by Henry “Junjo” Lawes and released through the Jah Guidance label in 1981, Toyan dedicated “Spar With Me” to the DJ, more specifically the legendary Barry “Barry G” Gordon. Toyan’s energetic delivery makes the song a very interesting one to listen to as he invites listeners to tune into the Barry G “The Boogey Man“, a name that has been one of the DJ’s trademarks, and invites the ladies to bubble with him as Barry selects the hits. Barry G has been a part of Jamaican music for nearly 50 years, and has used his platform and skillset to break Artists and Records, helped generations of Artist secure #1 chart success, and secured his place as one of the greatest Jamaican DJs whose name has travelled near and far.

“Spar With Me” became a popular track when it was released, and was featured on Toyan’s  1982 album of the same name. Toyan was one of the top Dancehall acts in the 80s, and he had a great following, inspiring a number of Artists. Since the release of “Spar With Me”, he went on to release more songs, and took his talents to various parts of the world. Sadly, he tragically lost his life in 1991, but his music continues to hold a significant place in the lives of many. Big up to the DJ.

Thank You Toyan For This Classic. Rest Well.

Vybz Kartel & @PopcaanMusic Reunite On “Dull Colour”

Posted on by swadedavillain

There was a time in Dancehall where a certain “Teacha” introduced a “Prefect” to the world, and he went on to become one of the greats in Jamaican music. The “Teacha” is Vybz Kartel, and the “Prefect” was Popcaan. While their respective lives and careers took different turns over the years, they never made any collaborations. That has changed now as they reunited on the new single, “Dull Colour“.

Produced by AikoPonDiBeat, Popcaan and Vybz Kartel make for a reunion that was long overdue. They still sound great together, and they feed off each other’s energy throughout the new track. Will there be more collaborations in the future? We hope so, but it would be great if the original Portmore Empire members reconnected for something too. One can only imagine how that would turn out. It’s been a long time coming, but here’s a new Popcaan and Vybz Kartel!

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s a new day, and a blessing for everyone to experience. While many things can happen to make the day less than positive, we still have to face it all with a smile. UK-based Dancehall/Reggae Artist S Pri (formerly known as Jami Dread) steps out with a new single to uplift called, “No Bad Vibes“.

Produced by Alystr Nash, S Pri delivers some positivity on “No Bad Vibes”. He encourages us all to recognize our blessings, and make the most of the life you’re given. Some days can be tough and your morale may not be where it should be, but we can’t let bad vibes own our lives. S Pri is just doing his part to make the world a better place. It’s been a while since we’ve featured S Pri, but he has been staying active over the years. The Austrian-born Artist was known for a number of years as Jami Dread, and released a number of singles in Jamaica and parts of the Caribbean, collaborated with a few Artists, and took the stage at a number of events. If you’re in need of a dose of positivity, get familiar with the new track. Bless up.
