OLDIES SUNDAY: Eek-A-Mouse – Ganja Smuggling (1981)

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s Oldies Sunday! Before “Chopping/Scamming” songs flooded the market, there were songs about the Ganja trade. Today’s selection comes from a pioneer of the “Singjay” style, Eek-A-Mouse with the track, “Ganja Smuggling“!

Produced by Henry “Junjo” Lawes and released through the Volcano Label in 1981, Eek-A-Mouse goes into details of his life in the Ganja trade. For a long time, many would find success in Marijuana before it became illegal, and those who participated had to find different means and ways to make it happen under the nose of Law Enforcement. Eek-A-Mouse shares his episodes of early morning harvests, loading up vehicles and Planes with the product, and enjoying the spoils of his work when the necessary deals were made. He found an escape from poverty in the Ganja trade, and with its rewards, he was able to support his family, and make life better for himself, and those around him.

Eek-A-Mouse enjoyed success with the “Ganja Smuggling” track as it quickly became popular in the Dancehall scene. “Ganja Smuggling” was featured on his 1981 album, “Wa Do Dem“, which spawned a few more hits for the Artist. “Ganja Smuggling” joins the list of tracks that shared details of life in the illegal Marijuana trade, and is still being played today, even in parts of the world where Marijuana and conducting business in Marijuana has been made legal. Eek-A-Mouse went on to enjoy success in music in the 80s and 90s, and today he can be found releasing and performing his music, and sharing his opinions on Social Media. He can be controversial, but he can only be him, and his fans celebrate him.

Thank You eek-A-Mouse For This Classic!

.@SarkAmbassador Seeks An Escape On “Release Me”!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recording Artist/Creative Sarkastik Ambassador is back with new music! It’s been a while since the Trini Artist released content, but he had to take care of life outside booth, then get back to business. Today, we get to check out the new single called, “Release Me“.

In a time where Mental Health needs to be improved, individuals have been removing themselves from various situations in search of peace, happiness, and less stress. Sarkastik Ambassador gives us a melodic delivery on “Release Me”, with Track7’s production making for a great soundtrack. Good to see him return to the music, we can expect more from him soon.

.@PinkFoxMusic Finds Himself Mesmerized By Her On “W.D.Y.D”!

Posted on by swadedavillain

A few weeks ago, Dancehall Artist Jada Kingdom released the official version of her single, “G.P.P.“. The track was enjoying viral success prior to its release, as it spoke about the effect she has on Men when they have a chance to be with her. While the track became the soundtrack for Women who shared similar scenarios, Recording Artist PinkFox wanted to speak for the victims. He gets to talking on the track, “W.D.Y.D. (What Did You Do?)“.

The self-produced “W.D.Y.D.” track finds PinkFox speaking out as a victim of the “G.P.P.”. With the first verse originally being a part of a “G.P.P.” remix he made a few weeks ago, PinkFox chose to give it new life as a single, and he found himself being mesmerized. The “Good Good” has its effects, and PinkFox is still under its spell, and he wants more. It’s something like a phenomenon, but results may vary. PinkFox has been making remixes over the past few months, is steadily growing his brand, and has a lot more music on the way. Expect “W.D.Y.D.” to make its rounds.

OLDIES SUNDAY: DYCR – Misunderstanding (2004)

Posted on by swadedavillain

They can ban the music everywhere else, but on this Blog, we provide a platform. Today is Oldies Sunday! Today’s selection will make you think, will have you in awe, and will make you laugh. Today, we go back in time to check out Dub Poet DYCR’s “Misunderstanding“.

Produced by Black & White for DownSound Records and released in 2004 on the “Invasion Riddim“, DYCR shows us that misunderstanding can be dangerous when the wrong person’s involved. Released during the tenure of US President George W. Bush at the White House, DYCR goes into a story of a Farmer named Joe who lived a simple life. Never bothered to modernize himself, he was far removed from all the technological advances that we have all been accustomed to, even avoided reading the news. Despite all of that, he was able to sustain himself in the countryside, only coming to the town for supplies. One day, Joe got word that his family wanted to file papers in order for him to travel and live in the United States, which turned into something exciting for Joe. The happy moment soon turned into a serious, and a rather hilarious one that you have to tune in to learn about.

DYCR’s clever lyricism and straight-forward delivery made “Misunderstanding” one of his best pieces of work. “Misunderstanding” showed listeners that clarity is very important in conversation, and ignorance can make things go very left. “Misunderstanding” was a part of a run of singles from DYCR that found him traveling near and far performing his works, solidifying his space as one of the top acts in Jamaica during the early 2000s.

Since the release of “Misunderstanding”, DYCR went on to release more singles, and two albums. He is still active, spreading his work through Social Media, and performing wherever he is summoned. “Misunderstanding” remains one of DYCR’s most memorable releases.

Thank You DYCR For This Classic!
