OLDIES SUNDAY: @IvyQueenDiva – Quiero Bailar (2003)

Posted on by swadedavillain

September 15 marks the start of “Hispanic Heritage Month” in the United States. The month recognizes the contributions and influence of Hispanic Americans from entertainment, to sports, to pop culture. Today on Oldies Sunday, we highlight one of those contributors. Her name is Ivy Queen, known as the “Queen Of Reggaeton” who hails from Puerto Rico, and her track is called, “Quiero Bailar (I Want To Dance)“.

Produced by Iván Joy and Jeremy Harding and released through Universal Music Latino in 2003, Ivy Queen made a powerful move with “Quiero Bailar”. The song speaks of a Woman who dances with a Man, but he misinterprets her sensual moves as an invitation to sleep with her. She emphasizes that that isn’t the case, and she shouldn’t be looked on as a promiscuous Woman. She wants to have fun, and not be added to a Man’s list or roster. “Quiero Bailar” sampled Harding’s “Liquid Riddim“, which was released in 2001, and borrows a cadence from Missy Elliott’s “All N My Grill” from 1999 (which was also borrowed by Dancehall Artist Chino, who has a song called “Hold Yuh Man” on the Liquid Riddim). The Reggaeton release was first featured on the Reggaeton Compilations “The Majestic 2“, and “Kilates“, and enjoyed success on those projects before being included in the Platinum Edition of Ivy’s “Diva” album, which was released in 2004.

“Quiero Baliar” enjoyed success as it became the first Spanish-language track to go #1 on Miami’s WPOW Rhythmic Top 40 chart, scored Billboard chart placements, and became an anthem for Women’s Empowerment. “Quiero Bailar” was covered by Puerto Rican Rapper Dlaklle, Recording artist Abaya, Boricua Boys, was sampled by Ecuadorian Singer Sophy Mell, and Chilean Singer Paloma Mami, was remixed with Reggaeton Artist Karol G, and was re-recorded in 2019 with a Female-led team of Engineers in partnership with Spotify, and released on International Women’s Day.

Since the release of “Quiero Bailar”, Ivy Queen went on to release more music to much success, and is still active. She has influenced a number of Artists, and has made major contributions to Reggaeton, and the Hispanic American culture. “Quiero Bailar” remains one of her most recognized tracks.

450 Conquers Canada With Sold-Out Performance

Posted on by swadedavillain

Live show performances are a major part of a Recording Artist’s career, and many Artists have been giving their all to the stage locally, and Internationally for decades. Dancehall Artist 450 has been in a class by himself for a number of years, and recently he made the stage a top priority with a sold-out performance as a part of his “450 Live” series in Canada.

A significant milestone was achieved in Toronto, Canada on Saturday, September 7, as the “450 Live Toronto Edition” was an event that many won’t forget. Spearheaded by Tru Ambassador Ent., the management and promotional entity behind 450, the Rebel Nightclub on 11 Polson Street was filled to capacity with overwhelming support of the Dancehall Artist. Tickets for the highly-anticipated event sold out shortly after being announced in July, further solidifying 450’s popularity, and the necessary roles that Tru Ambassador Ent. handled behind the scenes to ensure success. As a thank you to the fans, 450 took them through a stand-out experience that you had to be there to be a part of, delivering hits, having a commanding presence throughout the event’s entire duration, and the patrons gave back tremendous support through enjoying every minute, and demanding for more. 

“The people really wanted this 450 performance,” shared Jahvy, 450’s Manager. “There was blocked traffic leading up to the venue, and the love that he got from the fans at the show, it’s nothing short of a blessing. 450 gave it his all, and I’m proud of the Artist he has become. We’re thankful for the success of this event, and we look forward to doing it again. Nuff love Toronto!”

450 has been added to the list of high profile names which include 50 Cent, Trey Songz, Burna Boy, T-Pain, Sean Paul, and Lil Jon who have made an indelible mark at the venue, and he aims to bring the same energy and more to future events. He is currently promoting the single, “Addicted”, which has been doing well since its release in August.

450 caught the attention of the public with the single “Imperfection” in 2021, and since then his profile has grown significantly. From hitting Millions of views and streams, to high profile collaborations, to corporate endorsements, to sold out events, he continues to climb up the ladder of success. He is also known for the singles “Bad Gyal”, “Wild N Rich”, “Journey”, and has collaborated with the likes of Valiant, Pablo YG, Deno Crazy, and NLE Choppa.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Messenjah – Rock You High (1982)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Reggae Music has enjoyed a number of “firsts” over the decades, and there are times we forget about them. For today’s “Oldies Sunday” selection, we highlight one of them. Today, we head over to North America to check out Canadian Reggae Band Messenjah’s “Rock You High“.

Produced by Rupert “Ojiji” Harvey and released through Phonyx Records in 1982, Messenjah came to shake the nation with good music on “Rock You High”. Taking the music to a new stage at the time, Messenjah was the first Canadian Reggae Band to sign to a major label (Warner Music Canada a.k.a. WEA). The track got a lot of attention for the Band as it quickly became well known outside of Canada, and it became a part of their live shows over the years. The track was released through their Independently-released debut album of the same name, which went on to be a success.

Since the release of “Rock You High”, Messenjah went on to become one of Canada’s most popular and successful Reggae Bands. The Band went on to release more music, collect awards, toured for a number of years, and even being featured in the movie “Cocktail” starring a then up and coming Actor named Tom Cruise. Messenjah disband in the late 1990s, but reunited with some members in 2014 for a Bob Marley tribute concert in Toronto. “Rock You High” remains one of their most popular releases.

Thank You Messenjah For This Hit!
