Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s the final “Oldies Sunday” post of 2024! Firstly, thanks for the support of this segment, and we look forward to producing more come 2025. With New Year’s Day around the corner, we see it fit give you something in recognition of the upcoming day. We go back to nearly 50 years ago with The Mighty Clouds Band’s “Syne Dub“.

Released through the Mid-Night and Black Ark Sound labels in 1975, “Syne Dub” was an Instrumental release for The Mighty Clouds Band. The track was a dub version of the popular “Auld Lang Syne” New Year’s Day song, and the b-side to Reggae Singer Leon Hyatt’s song of the same name. The mix of Percussion, Horns, Keys, and Bass come together well, and will put all the listeners in a dancing vibe throughout. Sometimes all you need is the Riddim to get you going.

To our Readers, Happy New Year when it comes!

Yannick Paul Shares A Life Changing Story On “Kvrtel CD”

Posted on by swadedavillain

For those who know, and those who don’t, Dancehall Artist Vybz Kartel will be launching his highly-anticipated “Freedom Street” Concert next week. With the year he and his fans have been experiencing, 2024 will be ending in a big way. For people like Gospel Artist Yannick Paul, he remembers the days when he would be front and center for the latest single from the Deejay. Life has changed since then, but he wants to share a story about his “Kvrtel CD“.

The story starts off in 2005 where a young Yannick Paul discovers a Vybz Kartel mixtape at a friend’s house. He would then steal it, and the story continues with him enjoying content from, and becoming a fan of a Dancehall Artist who would gradually become one of Jamaica’s top acts. During that time, Yannick was dealing with having a music career of his own, and a life that wasn’t Christlike. He admits that the music made an influence on his life then, and the same can be said for others, but things began to shift for him over the years, and life as a Christian took over, putting the Kartel music and influence on the back burner. He closes off his song with a message to Vybz Kartel, with the hopes that he gives a welcoming ear to it. “Kvrtel CD” is the follow up to “November“, which shares Yannick’s life changing story that happened over 10 years ago. 2025 will find him continuing to spread the word.

Bling dives into the world of Music Production, and calls on Tifa, Pamputtae, D’Angel, Marcy Chin, and Suspense to join her in the new takeover.
