OLDIES SUNDAY: A.R.P. – Selena (1998)

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s “Oldies Sunday“, and today’s selection is for the smokers. We go back to the 90s to check out Jamaican group A.R.P., and the single, “Selena“.

Produced by Paul Henton on the “M-16 Riddim” and released in 1998, A.R.P. is all about smoking on the best of herbs, and the ladies who love them in, “Selena”. The group, comprised of Orville “Da’Ville” Thomas, Roger “Mitch” Mitchell, Collin “Leon” Gilbert, Patrick “Patchino” Hylton, and Ormando “Orand” Rose-Green, delivered smooth vocals with a flow that plays well with a smoke session, and for those times when you’re getting cozy with the special person. “Selena” became a hit for the group, and helped to place them in the mainstream.

Since the release of “Selena”, A.R.P. went on to become a prominent group in Dancehall/Reggae. They scored big with collaborations with Beenie Man, dealt with a short-lived beef with T.O.K., and released more music until parting ways in the early 2000s. Da’Ville and Mitch went solo, but Da’ville rose to becoming one of Jamaica’s in-demand vocalists for a number of years. They continued to work together through collaborations on Da’Ville’s solo projects, but never reformed. “Selena” continues to be remembered by fans and music lovers.

Tenor Blue Pays Tribute To the 80s With “Rub A Dub Stylee (Dub)”

Posted on by swadedavillain

US-based R&B/Reggae Artist Tenor Blue has been on the scene for a number of years delivering music that plays heavily into his influences. With a love for R&B, Reggae, Pop, Hip Hop, and Jazz, he experimented with their sounds to make music that’s not only unique to him, but to the listener. He has been holding his own for over 2 decades, and continues to find new listeners and spaces. Earlier this year, he made some noise with the single, “Rub-A-Dub Stylee“, and recently he took it to a different place with a Dub version.

Tenor Blue pays tribute to the growth of the Dancehall and Dub era in 80s Jamaican music with the release of “Rub-A-Dub Stylee (Dub)“. Produced by Dean Fishback, the song takes us back to the foundation Artists like Supercat, Yellowman, and Sugar Minott, Producers like King Tubby, Lee “Scratch” Perry, and Scientist, and fans of Dub will be grooving to this one. The original version of Tenor’s single continues to make its rounds music and video streams, and is ready to take the new version on the road this year.  Respect to the originators.

.@1RealMoulaUE Doubles Up With “Chess Moves” Remixes

Posted on by swadedavillain

Earlier this year, Montego Bay-based Recording Artist MoulaUE made his return to Rap with the single, “Chess Moves“. The track gained some favourable feedback since then, but the Rapper felt he needed more from this track. Fast forward some weeks, and recently he premiered special remixes.

MoulaUE makes “Chess Moves” more interesting with two special remixes. On the first remix, he teamed up with fellow Montego Bay native, Gavin Di Different. For the second remix, he called up Kingston native, Five Steez. The new versions of “Chess Moves” bring even more energy, and bring together different styles in the name of Jamaican Hip Hop. Both Steez and Gavin have maintained a presence in their respective lanes, make Moula’s return to the scene even more official. What’s next for MoulaUE? Stay tuned.

.@TrvisXX Samples Shyne & Barrington Levy For “Jackboys 2” Album

Posted on by swadedavillain

Over the weekend, US Rapper Travis Scott released the new album, “Jackboys 2“. Done in collaboration with his “Cactus Jack” collective, the new album has been receiving a lot of attention on Social Media. One song in particular on the album, “Shyne“, has been met with a variety of comments.

“Shyne” features Memphis Rapper Glorilla, and is one of the closing tracks on the new “Jackboys 2” album. Since its release, it has drawn quite the attention online. The track sampled the 2000 single, “Bad Boyz” from US/Belize Rapper Shyne. Produced by Ez Elpee and sampled Grace Jones’ “Nightclubbin“, “Bad Boyz” features Reggae/Dancehall legend Barrington Levy (whose “Broader Than Broadway” was also sampled on the track), and showcases a great example of culture blending, and Caribbean vibes in one of the biggest melting pots of the world. Travis Scott’s track finds him not only sampling the production, but attempting to copy Barrington Levy’s signature “Shibbily dabbily” style that was performed on the original. Scott joins a number of Artists who sampled “Bad Boyz”, and they include Lady London, Sean Price, and Cassidy. We hope the business was handled right in regards of sampling this classic. “Jackboys 2” also features a collaboration with Vybz Kartel called “PBT“, and the album is out now on all streaming platforms.

Vybz Kartel Joins @TrvisXX & @Tyllaaaaaaa On “PBT” Track

Posted on by swadedavillain

On Sunday July 13, US Rapper Travis Scott released the latest project, “Jackboys 2“. The new album is a group project from he and his “Cactus Jack” collective, and it so far has gained mixed reviews. The tracklist was already looking promising prior to release, but many weren’t ready for this collaboration on the track, “PBT“.

Produced by Bbykobe, Travis Scott enlists the “World Boss” Vybz Kartel, and South African star Tyla for the track, “PBT”. The song borrows inspiration from Drake’s 2016 single “Controlla“, and it gives a bit of Dancehall and AfroFusion vibes throughout. The guest Artists were originally unlisted on the album’s tracklist, and comes as a surprise for many listeners. In the days leading up to the release of “Jackboys 2”, Scott shared a number of photos on Social Media with Artists posing with a special colourway of the Lamborghini Huracan. The posts would suggest that Vybz Kartel, along with 21 Savage, Sofaygo, Wallie The Sensei, and others would appear on the album, and the vehicles were gifts for their participation. “PBT” is one of the stand out tracks on the album, and would be a bit of a full circle for Scott as he collaborated with Kartel’s protégé Popcaan in 2012 on the track, “Blocka“. “Jackboys 2” is out now.
