We Check Out Songs That Sampled The Late Cocoa Tea In Our Latest Playlist


On March 11, Jamaican music lost another legend. Renowned Recording Artist Cocoa Tea passed away, leaving many in mourning. The Man from Rocky Point, Clarendon was the Ingredient to many classic Reggae and Dancehall hits, one of the names to call for a Dubplate at a Sound Clash, and he leaves behind a legacy that many will appreciate for generations to come. With many taking the time out to spin many of his hits, we’ve decided to pay tribute to him in another way over here. Today, we present, the “Sampling Cocoa TeaPlaylist.

Cocoa Tea may not have had many of his songs sampled over the years, but there have been a number of Artists and DJs who have shown their appreciation for his music. This Playlist’s runtime is for a little over 2 hours, but you can tune in to music from the late Icon, along with Artists like JPEGMafia, Joss Stone, Arrested Development, Troy Ave, 2Pac, Pendulum, and Pete Rock who have used his works in their creations. For this Article, we’re also including a few of our favourite Cocoa Tea tracks, and if you have a favourite song from him, be sure to share with us in the comments section, or on our Social Media platforms. Sleep well Cocoa Tea!

Posh Morris Returns With “Smoke”


The month of March has been good to the Women in music, and the rest of the year is getting better. Recently Dancehall Entertainer MC Nuffy announced that he would be releasing an all-Female Riddim compilation. Titled the “Wataberry Riddim“, he enlisted a number of prominent names in Dancehall, including Posh Morris. Always ready to dominate, she not only recorded one, but two tracks for the Riddim. Today, we check out, “Smoke“.

Released through Nuffydon Records, Posh Morris is locked and loaded, and has time today in, “Smoke”. She sends a few messages to her enemies out, and warns them that things won’t be pretty if they think they can violate. Posh comes out with guns blazing on her new single, showcasing that while she’ll drop a tune that is widely enjoyed by the ladies, she can still level up the badness with her Male counterparts. One thing for sure, do not take her lightly. Expect even more from her later this year.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Foxy Brown – Sorry (1988)


The Month of March is recognized as “Women’s History Month“, and we recognize a few great Women who made significant contributions to Music. Today’s selection on “Oldies Sunday” comes from Foxy Brown (not the Rapper from Brooklyn) with the track, “Sorry“.

Produced and released by Harold “Papa Biggs” Mclarty on the “Taxi Riddim“, and released in 1988, Foxy Brown delivers a Jamaican cover of US Recording Artist Tracy Chapman’s single “Baby Can I Hold You“, but renamed “Sorry” for Foxy. The song speaks about a time when couples fall out and arguments happen, but when it comes to apologizing and making things right, it’s not always easy to do. Sometimes the right and important words just need to be said. Foxy sings throughout this, with her own melodies but borrowing the cadence from the original, over original Jamaican production. “Sorry” became a hit for Foxy Brown, but got even bigger when it was re-released in 1989 featuring production by Steely & Clevie. The new version also entered Billboard’s Black Singles chart. The song was also featured on her debut album, “Foxy“, which was released the same year. “Sorry” also allowed Foxy opportunities to voice Dubplates for years to come, and perform at various events.

Since the release of “Sorry”, Foxy released a few more singles in the early 1990s, and while some were hits, they didn’t match the level of “Sorry”, and her career stalled in that decade. Hard times fell on her along with a decline in her Mental Health, and she has been seen in various parts in Kingston over the years. She recently got some help from fellow Dancehall Artist Mr. Vegas, but we hope her living conditions improve as she still struggles with her Mental Health. “Sorry” remains her biggest hit.

Thank You Foxy Brown For This Hit!
