OLDIES SUNDAY: Home T, Cocoa Tea, Shabba Ranks – Pirates’ Anthem (1988)

Posted on by swadedavillain

This one is dedicated to those who strive to get the music out there by any means, legally or illegally. Today’s Oldies Sunday selection comes from Home T, Cocoa Tea, and Shabba Ranks titled, “Pirates’ Anthem“.

Produced by Augustus “Gussie” Clarke, “Pirates’ Anthem” was released through Music Works Records and Anchor Records in 1988. On the track, Home T, Cocoa Tea, and Shabba Ranks team up for a dedication to all those who build pirated Radio Stations to play the songs that need to be played. While Radio Stations around the world have a set list of songs for airplay, Pirated stations bypass that by having the freedom to play any song in all its glory without worry about editing, and certain regulations. The only problems Pirate Radio may face are getting shut down, and possible incrimination. Regardless, they all return to play what the people want to hear. Pirate Radio has gained massive popularity through the decades, and new ones are being made often. Home T, Cocoa Tea, and Shabba Ranks display great chemistry on the track, and “Pirates’ Anthem” became a hit for them. The single was featured on the 1989 album, “Holding On“, which was released through Greensleeves Records. “Pirates’ Anthem” was given the sample treatment a few times, and some include Hannibal Lecter’s “Just Because We Play“, 2Pac’s “Violent“, and Shenseea’s “Run Run” which was produced by Stephen “Di Genius” McGregor.

.@ChrisMalachi Shows Another Side Of Paradise On “Everything Cool”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Remember seeing those travel commercials inviting you to come to the Caribbean? How about those about coming to Jamaica? Yes the Island is a home away from home, and is indeed a paradise, but have you ever taken a look into how the residents are living outside the Hotels and Resorts that you’re used to? Well, Recording Artist Chris Malachi wants to give you a first hand look into life inside  “Paradise” on “Everything Cool“!

Produced by Koastal Kings, Chris Malachi’s “Everything Cool” is far from all that “Tropical” vibes foreigners speak of. You are in for a surprise if you thought this was a party song. While Tourists can get fat and lazy on the white sand beaches with a few Red Stripes in the cooler, Chris sheds a light on what Jamaicans are going through daily. Chris’ delivery is great as always on “Everything Cool”, and this is an important song that puts the island and the leaders under a microscope. From rising crime, to classism, to the Government failing the people, to a bad economy, the single and video will wake up many, and a change needs to happen.

Accompanying the single is a music video directed by Chris and Maya Wilkinson that was so beautifully presented, that even the Jamaica Tourist Board would blush. The video isn’t without a great cast which include Shernette Higgins, Koastal Kings, Bernard Hasenbichler, O’Neil Dacres, and the legendary Owen “Blakka” Ellis. Chris Malachi cleverly promoted the single through a series of Tourism related content that was reminiscent of the “Kool Runnings” and “Come Back To Jamaica” eras, and he has a lot more in store in the coming days. Who is gonna fight for us?

Sia’s “Cheap Thrills” Featuring @DuttyPaul Gets Featured In @Marvel’s “Black Widow” Film!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recently, Marvel Studios released their long awaited Film, “Black Widow“. The movie finds the Comic Book heroine going through some quests between the “Captain America: Civil War“, and the “Avengers: Infinity Wars” Films. Directed by Cate Shortland, the Film has a terrific score thanks to Lorne Balfe, but one of the highlights in the Film came in the form of the inclusion of Pop Artist Sia and Dancehall Artist Sean Paul’s “Cheap Thrills“.

Produced by Greg Kurstin, the Synthpop/Dancehall track was released in 2016, and was the second single on Sia’s “This Is Acting” album. The song was originally made without Sean Paul and was shopped to Rihanna for her album “Anti”, but was rejected. The Sean Paul featured version peaked at #1 on the US Hot 100 Billboard Charts, and was certified multiplatinum. “Cheap Thrills” was played in the scene before Black Widow encounters one of the Film’s antagonists, “Taskmaster“. “Black Widow” is available for streaming on the Disney+ platform.

Krys Evans Makes Her Dream A Reality With Sizzla Featured, “Over Everything”

Posted on by swadedavillain

There are some of us who believe in destiny, and making things happen. We may have visions, or we trust a higher power with our hopes and dreams, or we just put in the work to make them come true. Sometimes they manifest immediately, or they never happen, or they take a longer than usual time to unfold. For Queens, NY Recording Artist Krys Evans, she’s making her dreams a reality through her new single, “Over Everything“.

Produced by Dennis “Jah D” Fearon for JAHLEP Records, Krys Evans’ “Over Everything” single is a dream come true as she collaborates with one of her musical heroes, Reggae/Dancehall Icon Sizzla Kalonji. The song goes out to all the couples who have weathered many storms and faced numerous challenges, but are still strong together, inspiring others in the process. Krys and Sizzla share not only great vocals, but lyrics on what it takes for couples stay together, and making that relationship last. While many speak about “Relationship goals” on Social Media, it takes a lot of work, and two people who genuinely are about each other.

“Growing up, I listened to a lot of Sizzla, and he has influenced the way I do music.” shared Krys Evans. “Years ago, I used to work as a Bartender at BB Kings (in New York), and Sizzla was a featured act one night. Although his appearance wasn’t during my shift, I traded shifts with a coworker just to witness his performance while I worked. Fast forward a few years, I had this song, and it needed a male Artist who would take it to the next level. In my head, I wanted Sizzla to be that guest feature, and I wasn’t gonna let this song go until it happened. We made it happen however, and it’s a blessing! I’m eternally grateful to Sizzla Kalonji and his team.” “Over Everything” is Krys’ first release since her debut album, “Resilient” in 2020, and will be following up the single with a music video in the coming weeks. A Dancehall single titled, “Get The Money” is set to follow the single later this year. Keep working on your dreams.
