We Pay Tribute To Jimmy Cliff With New “Sampling” Playlist

Posted on by swadedavillain

On November 24 2025, the world mourned the loss of one of Reggae’s most legendary Ambassadors, Jimmy Cliff. One of the pioneering Artists of the genre, he took Reggae to places that have never heard of it, and solidified himself as one of Jamaica’s true Rockstars. He scored big in music, and in Film, and has influenced generations. Despite him not being here physically, his musical legacy, name, and family live on. We send our condolences to his family at this time. We pay tribute to the Icon with our latest Playlist, “Sampling Jimmy Cliff“.

While Jimmy Cliff’s catalogue has been off limits in the case of sampling, there were a few Artists who were allowed a chance to, who then managed to treat the music with respect, and paid tribute through their own creations. Featuring the likes of Rebel MC, Cutty Ranks, FatBoy Slim, Afroman, and Kris Kross Amsterdam, you can tune in to some of the sampled works, and the original hits from Dr. Cliff himself. If you aren’t familiar with our Playlist selections, check them out here. Thank you Jimmy Cliff for your work and life, and may you continue inspiring many for years to come. Sleep well, legend.

Ziciano’s “Come Over” Enjoys Viral Love

Posted on by swadedavillain

While we were experiencing a Hurricane in Jamaica and parts of the Caribbean a couple weeks ago, an upcoming Dancehall Artist was making his way up to becoming a viral sensation. Based in Paris, France, Dancehall Artist Ziciano stepped out with a new single called, “Come Over (Possibly)“, and was not expecting the wave that would follow soon after.

Produced by Tcoplinks, Ziciano gave the ladies a few reasons to be in his space for some good times in, “Come Over (Possibly)”. The bilingual track (French and Patois) along with Ziciano’s melodic delivery and solid production quietly made its way onto the scene, but started to catch on thanks to the catchy (and aggressive) “Back it up, back it up…GYAL” line on the chorus. Editor’s note: Ziciano sounds a little like Jamaican Dancehall Artist Kalado. Maybe there’s some influence there, or just coincidence. With people now paying attention, the single started to gain attention on Social Media platforms like TikTok, with users from many countries not only sharing their interest in the song, but find themselves dancing or lip-syncing it. Since its release, it has gained close to 200,000 plays on Youtube, over 400,000 streams on Spotify, and Millions of plays on Social Media. Fans of the Ziciano and “Come Over” are looking forward to a Music Video for the single, and its follow up. May he keep this up, and secure a solid spot in the music scene.

Mavado "Weh Dem A Do" on 13thStreetPromotions.com #Jamaica #Dancehall #Music #13thStreetPromotions #Mavado #WehDemADo #2006 #DellyRanx #DiRanxProductions #RedBullandGuinnessRiddim #Oldies #OldiesSunday #OldSchool #2006 #Caribbean

OLDIES SUNDAY: Mavado – Weh Dem A Do (2006)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today is a celebration. Today marks the birthday of one of Dancehall’s giants, Mavado. Why not give him an “Oldies Sunday” feature? Today, we go back in time to check out, “Weh Dem A Do“.

Produced by Delly Ranx and released through Di Ranx Productions on the “Redbull & Guinness Riddim” in 2006, Mavado came out swinging with “Weh Dem A Do”. Armed with a gritty and melodic delivery, Mavado stepped onto the scene showcasing the dark environment he’s from, and made for a song that not only had the gangsters’ attention, but the ladies as well. The Riddim’s upbeat sound made a good fit for the “Gully Gad“, and with a catchy hook (“Weh dem a do, weh dem a try…”) intact, it quickly became one of the Deejay’s first hits. “Weh Dem A Do” was featured on his critically acclaimed debut album, “Gangsta For Life, The Symphony Of David Brooks“, which went on to become a hit on the International market.

Since the release of “Weh Dem A Do”, Mavado not only became a household name in the Caribbean, but became a known figure Internationally, and secured his place as one of Dancehall’s legend. He ushered in his “Gullyside” movement, scored multiple hits, participated in one of the biggest beefs in Dancehall history (Gully vs Gaza with Vybz Kartel), and recently returned to Jamaica for the first time in several years due to legal issues. Mavado still holds the position as one of Dancehall’s top acts, and “Weh Dem A Do” still gets the crowd going. Check out our “Gully Forever” Playlist featuring a number of the Deejay’s hits over the years.

Thank You Mavado For This Classic!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Cholita is an upcoming Recording Artist who is already making strides on the scene. Her debut single “Next Time” caught the attention of brands like H&M, and she’s propelling herself to become a household name. She continues building her catalogue with the release of, “Without You“.

She shares the benefits of having the right person in her life, while Skillibeng outlines his reasons why she should get with him, and leave her current partner behind. It’s a perfect match when the love is mutual, and the compatibility is undeniable. This collaboration is ready for the International market, so don’t be surprised if another International brand scoops this one up.

It’s been a while, but we’re back with “Oldies Sunday“! No matter what’s going on outside, good music is always inside. Today’s selection comes from the birthday boy, one of Jamaica’s legendary Vocalists, Singing Melody. We go back to check out, “Say What“.

Produced by Bobby “Digital-B” Dixon for Digital-B Records and released in 2000, Singing Melody delivers something for the ladies with “Say What”. The song finds him playing the role of a Man who is distraught with a Woman’s bad experiences in a relationship, and has all intention to make her life better. For every wrong move that Man made, Melody would do right by his love interest. “Say What” was released at a time when Singing Melody was one of the top acts out along with being a part of the supergroup, L.U.S.T. with Tony Curtis, Thriller U, and Lukie D. The single quickly became a hit for him, adding to the list as he was enjoying a career spanning a number of years. The single was later featured on his 2002 3rd album, “Expressions“.

Since the release of “Say What”, Singing Melody went on to release more music. He briefly enjoyed time as a local Reality TV star with his Wife, and is still actively recording music, and DJs for his fans on Social Media livestreams. “Say What” continues to get played in parts of the world, and remains one of his top hits.

Thank You Singing Melody For This Hit!
