OLDIES SUNDAY: Roland Alphonso – Song For My Father (1967)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today (June 16) is recognized worldwide as “Father’s Day“. We appreciate the Men who understood the role they’re given, and have done their best in that department. For today’s Oldies Sunday selection, we pay tribute to them with Musician Roland Alphonso’s “Song For My Father“.

Produced by Leslie Kong along with Roland Alphonso and Beverley’s All Stars and released through Beverley’s Records in 1967, “Song For My Father” was Alphonso’s Ska version of the Horace Silver Quintet’s 1965 Jazz composition. The Jamaican version gives it a different kind of life, and opened it up for a different audience to appreciate. The original version according to Horace Silver was inspired by Brazilian music from a trip there, and Cape Verdean Portuguese Folk Music that his Father listened to. The Instrumental was a tribute to his Father and his love for the music, and the Jamaican version paid tribute to Jamaican Fathers. Alphonso’s version was one of many covers made, and was well-received by listeners over the years.

Whether you’re a Father, StepFather, Uncle, Grandfather, Godfather, Papa, Papi, Pop, Dada, big up yourself on this Father’s Day. Check out our “The Fathers Of Reggae/Dancehall” Playlist from a few years ago.

What is Summer without some fun? What is Summer without a Block Party? New York-based Alternative R&B Recording Artist/Producer Nesta is eager to be a part of them all this Summer. So much so that he’s kicking things off with his new single, “Outside“.

The self-produced “Outside” track was released through Black Wax, and it finds Nesta embodying the spirit of the Summer, and beaming good energy on the track. With Gyptian’s classic “Hold Yuh” being sampled, we’re expecting flags waving at the cookout, the liquor flowing at the Beach Party, the nights being lit up at the street dance, and the vibes amplified at the Day Brunch parties. Nesta wants all the couples to get together at the dance, the ladies to step out in their best looks, everyone to enjoy life in the best way, and this Summer to be an unforgettable one. Whether you’re in New York, LA, London, Lagos, Port Of Spain, or Kingston, we’re gonna be outside this Summer! Bartender please bring another round.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Vincy Mas is really right around the corner, and if you haven’t been preparing, then you better make something happen before it’s too late. With new music dropping frequently, we expect patrons to give their all on the road this season. With that said, Vincy Artist Ozarie Matthews drops a new single called, “Shut Up“.

Produced by Karbon Jamz on the “Road Tribute Riddim” and released through Hunttaflow Production, Ozarie calls out the chatterboxes, the tattletales, and the mouth a massy types in “Shut Up”. He shares that he has no tolerance for those who like to gossip and spread news, and he simply wants them to stay far from him, and be quiet. No matter what’s the discussion, if it’s no progressive, he has no time for it. Over production that’s influenced by the traditional Soca sound, we can expect the people to dance away to “Shut Up”, while avoiding the gossip. Ready for Vincy Mas?

.@OfficialYaksta Shares Harsh Realities In “Walk Inside My Shoes”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recording Artist Yaksta has a lot to say, and this time around, he’s not holding back. There’s a saying that goes, “Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes“, and Yaksta wants to talk about that on, “Walk Inside My Shoes“.

Produced by Leadazz Production and Bush Music, Yaksta has been feeling some ways lately, and he shares some harsh realities in “Walk Inside My Shoes”. In a world where pocket watching and people watching happen more frequently, we don’t know the stories behind the lifestyle and success of many out there. We don’t know how they got that opportunity to travel, we don’t know what goes on behind closed doors of that happy marriage, and we don’t know if that person’s wealth was made ethically. Yaksta sheds a light on the other side of those smiles, and emphasizes that if you’ve never lived their lives, don’t act like you know all about it. Many of them have issues, so mind your business. Gossip plays heavily into a lot of these pocket and people watching activities, and the Artist is calling out those who practice them. Comparison is the thief of joy, don’t follow the crowd.
