Music from featured artistes
Feeling nostalgic, Creep of Chromatic released another never heard before dubplate from Vybz Kartel. Titled “Clappings” and features Aidonia, we hear both artists trading badman bars and showing how lyrical they both could be. Aidonia and Kartel were two artists who could hold their own whenever they were on a song together. Check out the song below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

Even though Vybz Kartel has been out of the spotlight physically for a long time, he has proved to be one of the hardest working Dancehall artists. Tonight Creep of Chromatic Sound released an exclusive dubplate from Kartel that has never been played before. Titled “Lost Without Weed“, Kartel took over Robin Thicke’s “Lost Without You” and made an ode to Marijuana. Check out the song below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

Today’s new mixtape comes from Sly Rankin. Dropping his 4th effort titled “Dunce Upon A Time” with Solja Life Records and mixed by DJ Dean, we get 10 tracks from filled with hard hitting lyrics, a little Hip Hop history, and something for the ladies. With production from Alric & Boyd, Michael DaCosta, Stephen Bravo and more, this promises to be a good listen from “The Wickedest Jamaican Rapper In The World“. This mixtape also features him being interviewed on Hot 102 FM by Copper Ash and Sherilla. Check out the mixtape below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

Dropping some conscious music today is the combination of Kabaka Pyramid and I-Wayne. Titled “Versatile” and produced by Rokwon Productions on the Rokwon Drop Riddim, we hear the artists speak on the evil that many do, promoting righteousness, fighting the corrupt, going against artists who promote the wrong things, Tessanne Chin and her getting recognition, and advising the youths to be versatile as to avoid falling into the traps of Babylon and Rome. A great effort here as I’ve been anticipating a collaboration between the two. It could a long shot but I’d love to hear a EP from the two or at least more tracks from them this year. Check out the track below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

It’s all about the money today as Rapper KDon lets us know he wants it all. Hopping on Traverse (a.k.a. Bruce) and Lady Livi’s “Bill“, KDon expresses how he wants the type of money that keeps on growing in all currencies, and being able to afford all the luxuries and enjoy life to the fullest. Where’s the money? He wants them in $5, $10, and $50 notes. Will Livi and Bruce give this SOS Dynamikz production another try for another remix? Stay tuned. Check out the track below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

[In respect to the 17th anniversary of Biggie Smalls’ passing, my Oldies Sunday selection features a song he sampled on his first album.]
Today’s Oldies Sunday selection comes from Deejay Pan Head. Titled “Gunman Tune” with production by Lloyd “John John” James Jr. on the “Soap Riddim” and distribution by Father & Son Records in 1991, we hear Pan Head paying tribute to all the gun men in Jamaica while showing disrespect to informants (or snitches). He also speaks on the different communities that the gunmen reside in, the types of weaponry they have in their artillery, how they use them and the type of friends gunmen and informants should have.
