“Well y’know ..like.. usually, everything in my life – I plan. But music is the only thing… I feel like it’s SUCH a free thing. I don’t overthink it” – Campus Buss

As we come closer to the end of January, the new season of #PayAttention draws nigh. On Saturday, January 31 at C&C South Beach, 2 Brompton Road you’ll be able to catch live performances of a handful of Jamaica’s wide array of local rappers.


Pay Attention - January 31 (Back)One of the 4 performers though doesn’t claim to cling to that genre but as a talented rising artiste on the scene, Jane Macgizmo seeks to catch the attention of many [even ours] w/ her free-spirited melody. Let’s get acquainted further…

Q: Do you think that the 2015 #PayAttention stage will be welcoming to you as one of the FIRST for the year? [July 19th, 2014 was the most recent show]

A: Well, this is my first time and I’m actually pretty excited to be a part of the #PayAttention series. I am nervous but I’m just hoping the music takes me to where I need to be with everyone enjoying the performance and my music.

Q: I believe you’ll resonate extremely well with your audience & core fans, what can they expect on Jan. 31?

A: They [core fans] can basically expect a sneak peak of my EP as I’ll be performing a few new songs from it.

“Five Steez will never waste energy disputing the efficacy of Hip-Hop saturation, this apparent rap situation in Jamaica. Calmly (yet very firmly) he’ll say #PAYATTENTION” – SIRvival_ Tactics

After a seeming 4 month hiatus, the show is back, with an amazing line-up of artistes ready to take the stage on Saturday, January 31 at C&C South Beach, 2 Brompton Road.

Pay Attention - January 31 (Back)
Today, we take on the lyrical emcee, Five Steez. 
Q: As the opening acts for the 2015 #PayAttention line-up, how exactly does it feel to be hitting the stage after the short break? [July 19th being the last staging of the show]
A: I’m excited to hit the stage. I got to start the year in 2014 and that was an excellent show. So I’m only looking forward to an even better time for myself and the audience.
[Thing is, I know I have to deliver since #PayAttention has been on a short break, and also because many people may be seeing me perform my latest music for the first time.]

Posted on by swadedavillain

Mavado-Ft.-Future-Ace-Hood-–-I-Aint-Going-Back-Broke

Being broke is not an option for many and coming from the Gully side, Mavado proclaims in his new single “I Ain’t Going Back Broke!“. With Rappers Future and Ace Hood accompanying the Gully God and a La Roux sample, they speak on coming from nothing to being something, being able to provide for their families and never wanting to be destitute anymore. By the sounds of the single, Mavado might have a hit here as it’s a little different from his previous International efforts. His Mixtape “The Hands Of The Gully God” will be available in the next two weeks on this blog. Check out the track below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

Dropping something for the ladies from all the way in Austria is Dancehall Artist/Producer Jami Dread. Titled “Privilege” and produced by Jami for his label Lyrical War Records, we hear him speak to the ladies who know they stand out from the rest, and possess the kind of beauty that will have men leaving their current lady to take care of her. He also highlights their attitudes and actions and knows it’s because of their qualities why they have that privilege. Not a bad effort here, Jami did well over his own production. Not new to the Dancehall world but he’ll pick up some new fans for this single. What do you think? Check out the track below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

Harry J Allstars "Liquidator"

OLDIES SUNDAY: The Harry J Allstars – The Liquidator (1969)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today’s Oldies Sunday selection comes from The Harry J Allstars, lead by the late Producer, Harry Johnson a.k.a. Harry J. Titled “The Liquidator“, this was an instrumental created in 1969 for Harry J Records. The people involved in the creation along with Harry included Winston Wright (Organs), Aston Barrett (Bass), and Carlton Barrett (Percussion). It was said the Instrumental was originally made for Singer Tony Scott’s “What Am I To Do” minus a few elements. It was recorded but Harry Johnson bought the rights to the song, licensed it to Trojan Records with credit to The Harry J Allstars and added more instrumentals.

“The Liquidator” became a huge success where on October 1969, it peaked at #9 on the UK Singles Chart and in 1980 it peaked at #42. The Instrumental was also became one of the anthems for the emerging “SkinHead” youth subculture. The Bass line for “The Liquidator” was later sampled by American Producer Al Bell, which was used for the massive “I’ll Take You There” single performed by The Staple Singers in 1972. It has since been sampled by Chubb Rock, Dennis AlCapone, Bassomatic and others while it was covered by “Ernie” Ranglin, Val Bennett, Keith Levene and others. “The Liquidator” is also used by popular Football teams Chelsea, West Bromwich Albion, and Wolverhampton Wanderers to name a few. Chelsea is one of the teams to have claimed first usage of the Instrumental and is played in tribute to the winners of the UEFA Champions League.
