.@RieOsei Steps Out From Behind The Mask In “Simon Says”

Posted on June 20, 2026June 27, 2026 by swadedavillain

When it comes to love and relationships, there is a lot of good, but also a lot of bad. Some people live their best lives in love, others lose themselves due to mistreatment and deception. For those lost, some find themselves and flourish, others are not so lucky. For Ghana/Chicago-based Recording Artist Rie Osei, her experience in a relationship put her in a place that she needed to get out of. She talks about it in, “Simon Says“.

Produced by Portia Brajkovic for OWIA, Rie Osei takes heartbreak, loss of self, and disappointments, and turns them into a moment of reflection, and a chance to break free for better in, “Simon Says”. The relationship she was in found her wearing a mask, and it played a major part of losing her identity and changed behaviour in the relationship. The mask may have provided a false sense of hope, control, and protection, and it hid the real person that she is, but the moment of reflection found her realizing what’s happening to her, making her more determined to break out, and find the person she truly is. The mask is highlighted in the single’s Abdul Arafat-crafted artwork, and it pays homage to her Ghanaian masquerade culture. “Simon Says” will resonate with many, and it looks to be a fixture in the coming days.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Super Cat – Dance Inna New York (1982)

Posted on June 14, 2026June 21, 2026 by swadedavillain

On June 13, 2026, something happened in the US that hasn’t happened in a long time. The Basketball team the New York Knicks won their first NBA championship in 53 years! A time was had for fans, and New York showed how they really celebrated their wins. Jamaica and New York has a strong connection here, as there are players who share a Jamaican lineage, and New York is a place many Jamaicans migrate to. You know the history. Today, we share in the celebrations. We go back in time to check out Super Cat’s “Dance Inna New York“.

Produced by Jah Thomas on the “Gunshot Riddim” and released through Roots Records in 1982, Super Cat shares his time in New York City in, “Dance Inna New York”. Naturally he’d attend a party, and when the people aren’t calling for some the Dancehall greats at the time, they’re calling for him to liven up the place. The Deejay’s name goes far and wide, and when it comes to his skillset, he never disappoints. “Dance Inna New York” was a hit for Super Cat, and is one of his top selections. “Dance Inna New York” was sampled by Rapper Nas for his “Nas The Don” track.

Since the release of “Dance Inna New York”, Super Cat went on to become one of Dancehall music’s most important members. He paved the way for many Deejays, and has secured his place as an Icon. Aside from Dancehall music, he was an early collaborator for a then-unknown Notorious B.I.G., has tunes with Kriss Kross, Sugar Ray, 112, and many others. Super Cat is still active, performing in parts of the world, and releasing a song here and there. “Dance Inna New York” remains a classic. Congrats to the New York Knicks!

.@ItsTheTifa Has Some Words For The “Internet Bad Gyal”

Posted on June 13, 2026June 20, 2026 by swadedavillain

Dancehall Artist Tifa has come a long way. From being a fresh face in the 2000s, she now sits with the vets in music, and is still putting in work. There were talks of retirement years ago, but when you love the music, there’s no quitting. Tifa has been on before Social Media, and has embraced the platform since day one. However, Social Media has made way for the type of people who aim to bring others down. Many live in anonymity, but Tifa is ready for them. She has a few words for them in, “Internet Bad Gyal“.

Produced by Troyton Music on the “Bad Sling Riddim” that pays homage to the “Sleng Teng Riddim“, Tifa is locked and loaded for the keyboard warriors in, “Internet Bad Gyal”. Being on the scene for a long time can bring around a lot of negativity along with the support system, it’s up to the individual to handle it in the best way possible. While Tifa won’t show at the front door, her lyrics serve as warnings for those who think they can go further than the comment section with her. She may be sweet and easy to get along with, but do not take Tifa for a softie. Keyboard warriors aside, Tifa continues to let her pen work, and keeps her skills sharp in the Studio. You can catch her live at an event this Summer, but if you bring bad intentions, stay home before you regret it.
