OLDIES SUNDAY: @GeneralDegree – Granny (1992)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today’s Oldies Sunday is dedicated to my Grandmother who celebrated her 77th birthday recently, and your Grandmothers. This selection comes from General Degree and is titled “Granny“. “Granny” was produced by Lo Tech for Main St. Records in 1992 and features General Degree speaking on his many scenarios with his Grandmother and his intent on leaving her to live with his Mother. He highlights that Grandmothers tend to be very miserable and suggests that if you grew up with one, you’ll end up like her. Granny (played by Degree) also gets a chance to “ride” the Riddim as she complains about the price increase in food, her Grandson and his antics, and states that if things get worse she’ll migrate to the United States.

NEW MUSIC: @MachelMontano x @TarrusRileyJA – Memory

Posted on by swadedavillain

They say the present is a gift, so we must create lasting memories out of it. Reminding us of this is a best of both worlds collab between Machel Montano and Tarrus Riley! Titled “Memory” and produced by Anson Soverall with writing from Emmanuel Rudder, Dale Ryan and Kit Israel, the artists speak on cherishing the moments with your loved ones and though the advancements of technology enables us to quickly document them, are they more significant than the old fashioned way? A single that promises to be a mainstay for years to come, I really would look forward to an collaborative project between these two artists, and a Major Lazer remix. Make it last forever!

NEW MUSIC: @AllanKNGDM x @ChronixxMusic – No Fables

Posted on by swadedavillain

In what is considered a unique pairing, we have a new track from Minnesota based Allan Kingdom, and Jamaica’s own Chronixx. Titled “No Fables” and produced by Allan, Plain Pat, and Jonathon Kaslow, we hear the acts speak on seeing people for who they really are, standing out, and avoiding labels and stereotypes. A song that went below the radar for some of us, but a good listen nonetheless. Off Allan’s “Northern Lights” project, check out the track below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
