Posted on by swadedavillain

Texas based Rapper Chase Soundz made a promise that for 2022, he will be working on his consistency. Since the start of the year, he released one single, with the intention of dropping something new every month. It’s now close to the end of February, and he is still keeping his promise. Today, he unleashed the new single, “Kill It“.

Produced by Wrona, Chase Soundz uses the new “Kill It” single to further showcase that he’s not the person to play with. He shows off a speedier flow here, and plays around with some wordplay too. It’s all about living life on his terms here, and he has no time for opposition of any kind. Keep your negativity and badmind to yourself! Chase Soundz continues to show growth in his music, and keeps his passion for rapping alive. A possible new project may drop later this year, but for now, get familiar with the new offerings from Chase Soundz!

OLDIES SUNDAY: Larry & Alvin – Nanny Goat (1968)

Posted on by swadedavillain

February is recognized in various parts of the world as “Reggae Month“. For today’s Oldies Sunday selection, we’re gonna take you on a trip back in time, to highlight a song that is very important to the Culture. While there are many Artists, Producers, and songs that have claims to being a pioneer of the genre called Reggae, we’d like to highlight one of them. Today’s selection comes from Larry Marshall and Alvin Perkins a.k.a. Larry & Alvin called, “Nanny Goat“.

Produced by Sir Clement “Coxsone” Dodd, the track was released through the Studio One Label in 1968. The track was inspired by the Jamaican proverb, “What sweet Nanny Goat a go run him belly“, and finds Vocalists Larry & Alvin singing about a love that is still desired, even though that person has gone on and found someone new. “Nanny Goat” is a very important song in Jamaican music as it has been mentioned by many to be the first true Reggae song.

The song became a hit for Larry & Alvin, and almost never happened. While Larry Marshall wrote the lyrics and presented them to Coxsone Dodd, it was suggested that a singer like Jacob Miller would’ve been more suitable to sing them. Not taking the suggestion, Larry went on to record the track. “Nanny Goat” was sampled over the years by various Producers and Artists, including Tony Rebel and Marcia Griffiths for their singles, “Chatty Chatty” and “Closer To You” respectively. Since the release of “Nanny Goat”, Larry & Alvin went on to record more songs together. Larry enjoyed a solo career with a few hits, and passed away in 2017.

Third World "Always Around" on 13thStreetPromotions.com #Jamaica #ThirdWorldBand #BunnyRugs #Reggae #Caribbean

OLDIES SUNDAY: @ThirdWorldBand – Always Around (1979)

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s February, and it’s a month where some of us celebrate love. February 6 is a day that celebrates a Music Icon that’s named Marley, the late Bunny Rugs. Bunny Rugs was the Lead Vocalist of the legendary Third World Band. Today, we recognize him with an Oldies Sunday selection. We go back in time to check out, “Always Around“.

Written by the late Irvin “Carrot” Jarrett, “Always Around” was released through Island Records in 1979. The song featured mostly Bunny Rugs vocals throughout as the song spoke of having that special love around, and every good thing can come from that. The song features smooth production that was handled by the Band, and was one of the songs that was a part of the Band’s transition from Roots Reggae, to more Pop-oriented singles. “Always Around” was featured on Third World’s “The Story’s Been Told” album from 1979. The song never charted, but has been considered one of Third World’s best songs.

Happy Birthday to the LEGENDARY Bunny Rugs!
