OLDIES SUNDAY: Prince Far I – Jamaican Heroes (1980)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Tomorrow (October 21) will be celebrated as “National Heroes Day” in Jamaica. The yearly event recognizes the works of those who fought for our freedom, and highlights the everyday hero who has made sacrifices over the years, and those who have contributed to our progress as a nation. Jamaican music has boasted its share of heroes who have helped to advance the culture, and we recognize one of them on “Oldies Sunday“. His name is Prince Far I, and we feature his track, “Jamaican Heroes“.

The self-produced “Jamaican Heroes” was released through Trojan Records in 1980, and it found Prince Far I saluting the Jamaicans who we now know as national heroes. The 6 heroes and 1 heroine started revolutions, fought to hold high positions that would make Jamaica becoming Independent a reality, and helped to make the Island a shining jewel in the world. Far I delivered solid words over a solid production, and had the assistance of backup Vocalists throughout. “Jamaican Heroes” was featured on the 1980 album of the same name, and was one of his well-recognized tunes.

Since the release of “Jamaican Heroes”, Prince Far I would go on to release and produce more music, and perform in various parts of the world. Sadly on September 15, 1983, he would tragically lose his life in the aftermath of a robbery in his home. “The Voice Of Thunder“, as he was sometimes called, would be an influence to many Reggae Artists over the years. “Jamaican Heroes” is still played in parts of the world today.

Salute Our Heroes! Thank You Prince Far I For This Great Song!

Produced and released through Energy God Productions, “Dem Nuh Like We” and “Walk Out Gyal” finds Elephant Man giving the people even more to enjoy from him. On “Dem Nuh Like We”, he addresses the haters who make it their job to try to overthrow his place as a Dancehall great, and blur his focus. Borrowing some elements from the 1962 Otis Redding classic “These Arms Of Mine“, Ele gets melodic on bad mind people, and emphasizing that they can never break his stride, and every move makes him stronger. “Walk Out Gyal” is aimed at the ladies who value family and friends, and do things that will elevate their way of living, and live a conscience-free life. If you know your name can’t be mentioned in negativity, walk out with your good self to this one.

Elephant Man is in and out the Island thanks to a series of live performances in North America, and he promises to keep the music factory running with more music in the coming weeks. He is still enjoying Social Media and streaming love off of the singles “Work Out“, “Bad Gyal“, and “Dancing School“, and urges the public to keep the music in rotation, and request their favourite DJs to play them at events.

Ghost Takes On The Pop Music Charts With ‘Be Your Friend’ Single

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recording Artist Ghost is a Jamaican Music legend. With decades of hits, no one can deny that when he takes centerstage, it’s his moment to shine, and dominate. While has commanded music from some of your favourites with his own covers, he has created quite a number of original songs over the years that found favour with listeners. Aiming to further showcase his versatility, he steps out with the upcoming new single, “Be Your Friend”.

Produced by his MS Music label, Ghost gets into Pop vibes with the release of, “Be Your Friend”. Presenting smooth vocals and his ability to command his form over the production, the Singer finds himself approaching a lady, having a conversation in hopes that they can have a fruitful connection. The track was written by Ghost and P. Wright, and it looks into bringing back the times when dating was all about presenting your best self and getting to know the person you approached. Compared to the ideals of the new generation with Apps and Social Media, Ghost shares what he believes is the right approach through song, and encourages listeners to use their words the right way. Sometimes the best relationships started out as great friendships, and love is a beautiful thing when done right.

Ghost is currently working on his new album, “Underrated”, and the project will symbolize the decades-long tenure of a Man who put his all into the music, a Man who has sometimes been left out of the important music conversations, but his talent allowed him to connect with many around the world, building a strong supporting community in the process. Many try to paint him as a cover Artist, and while many of his hits are indeed cover songs, his albums possess some amazing original songs that have become fans favourites, and scored big points with the audience during his live performances. “Underrated” is expected to see an early 2025 release. He is also gearing up for his headlining event come November 24 at the Di Lot in Kingston.

Ghost’s “Be Your Friend” will be released on October 25 through MS Music. Pre-save the single here.
