Posted on by swadedavillain

Burna Boy continues to take gigantic steps around the world. The “African Giant” has made his mark as one of the most successful African Artists out, and he has a lot more to do. 2023 has been pretty eventful so far for him. From sold out concerts, to making history, to connecting with some of the best and legendary talents, all eyes are now focused on his long-awaited album, “I Told Them“. He finally unleashed it.

Featuring 15 tracks, Burna Boy uses this album to experiment with new sounds, samples, and a few prominent names. The album follows up 2022’s “Love, Damani“, which was a success itself. He is still very much in hit making mode, and listeners are in for a treat. Production from the album include the likes of Kofo, Telz, Jay Blu, Skread, MAG, Modra, and EJ Fya, while J Cole, Byron Messia, Dave, 21 Savage, Seyi Vibez, and the legendary GZA and RZA of the Wu Tang Clan make appearances.

Laa Lee & @ItsMonifa1 Share New Collaboration, “Live My Life”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Dancehall Artist Laa Lee is all about making great things happen in his life. The past few years saw him change from an upcoming act, to an Internationally recognized Artist, he knew from early that it would take work and a lot of dedication to make it big. People will have their opinions of him, but like his new single, he wants to live by his own rules on “Live My Life“.

Produced by Digital Productionz and featuring additional vocals by Monifa Goss, Laa Lee reflects on what it took to bring him this far in life. While many will see the glitter, they don’t know of the sleepless nights, the hungry days, and the broke times that could’ve made him do things against his character. People will talk as his attitude and focus may have changed since, but leave the man alone so he can live his life. Laa Lee continues to strive for greatness, and on the track he dabbles in some Afrobeats vibes here. Monifa compliments Laa Lee with some great vocals, and we expect this track to be a favourite for some. Blessings to you for overcoming your challenges to live a better life.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Nahki – Original Ninja (1989)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Happy Oldies Sunday! In our last post, we highlighted Artists who were influenced by Caribbean music, and today is no different. The country that our next Artist originates from has a longstanding music history with Jamaica, and the relationship is still strong today. For today’s selection, we head over to Japan to check out Nahki’s “Original Ninja“.

Produced by King Jammys and released through Jammy’s Records in 1989, Nahki stepped out with a single that helped to introduce the world to Japanese Dancehall. Heavily influenced by Jamaica, Nahki adopted Patois, and delivered with a melody and stance like he was one of the top Dancehall acts in those times. A lover of Reggae music since the 70s, it was a chance meeting with Reggae/Dancehall Icon Sugar Minott that gave him a chance to hone his skills, and make solid bonds with fellow Artists and Producers in Japan, and Jamaica. “Original Ninja” was a hit for Nahki, and the track was featured on his debut album, “Baddest Japanese” that was released in 1990.

Since the release of “Original Ninja”, Nahki went on to release a few more albums, scored more hits, maintained “Reggae Japansplash” which he helped to start in 1985, and etched his place in the history books. He is widely regarded as a pioneer in Japanese Dancehall, an Ambassador for Dancehall & Reggae, and he helped to influence generations of talent from Japan. “Original Ninja” is still recognized today along with many of Nahki’s releases.

Thank You Nahki For This Classic!

OLDIES SUNDAY: @BadBrainsBand – Leaving Babylon (1982)

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s Oldies Sunday, and today we’re going to do something different. While this section has been home to many Artists who hail from the Caribbean, what about those who have been influenced by the Caribbean? For today’s selection, we check out US band Bad Brains, and their track, “Leaving Babylon“.

“Leaving Babylon” was produced by Jay Dublee, and performed by original Bad Brains band members H.R., Dr. Know, Darryl Jenifer, and Earl Hudson. It was released through the ROIR (Reach Out International Records) label in 1982. Though Bad Brains originally started out as a Punk Rock band, they also tapped into the Reggae sound thanks to seeing Bob Marley perform live in their home base of Washington D.C., H.R.’s Jamaican background, and leaning into the Rastafarian faith and culture. “Leaving Babylon” was one of their Reggae releases, and it not only featured the Reggae sound, but shared lyrics about escaping the society that left people destitute, dealt with phony Politicians, and seeking a better place as nothing will change from where they’re coming from. It also sampled the Bass line from The Royals’ 1968 single, “Pick Up The Pieces“.

“Leaving Babylon” was featured on Bad Brains’ self-titled debut studio album, and quickly won over listeners. It was covered by the likes of Sublime, Jesse Malin, and 311. Their debut album is one of the most groundbreaking releases for the hardcore scene, with many Artists citing it as one of the greatest ever. Bad Brains is widely considered the pioneers of Hardcore Punk Rock, and along with fusing Reggae into the Rock scene, they paved the way for many bands to follow. Since the release of “Leaving Babylon”, they have released more albums, went through a number of breakups and reunions, and are still active today. Reggae Artist Jesse Royal briefly joined the band in 2015. “Leaving Babylon” is still a favourite for many listeners of Bad Brains.

Thank You Bad Brains For This Track!
