.@The_RealNavino Promotes Positive Messages With “Prayers Up”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Dancehall Music has always been a place where different minds step forth to share stories, share experiences, and promote various messages. While the messages are either good or bad, there is an audience for either of them. Over the years, the genre has welcomed an abundance of acts who have chosen to promote lifestyles that aren’t ethical through their lyrical content. Some promote criminal activities, others promote lifestyles that go against the upbringing of many. With Jamaica being a Christian country, there have been groups that rallied against the content, emphasizing that it’s ungodly, and should be taken off the airwaves. The Artists that perform these songs however, are pushing back with the defense that it’s free speech. While that battle goes underway, Dancehall Artist Navino is taking a different route, and chooses to promote a positive message on the single, “Prayers Up”.

Produced by Damage Musiq on the “Spiritual Warfare Riddim”, Navino walks with God, and he’s leading the charge for the right things on “Prayers Up”. His path doesn’t require him to make music with certain messages like some of his peers, and he can’t go against what is right to make content that glorifies the devil, and acts of evil. His journey is not an easy one, but he is determined to do the right things even when the forces around seek to corrupt him. Navino aims to make music that uplifts, and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. “Prayers Up” is a change from the new norm of music being released, and has been receiving great feedback since its debut, with many highlighting the positive messages. The Artist looks to influence more of his peers to follow the path with the content, and encourages listeners to make the right moves for a positive change as the country has had its share of corruption, crime, and violence, and they need to be done away with. A campaign is currently underway to promote the single to various platforms.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Before the month is over, we want to show respect to an Architect in Jamaican Music. a Man who created a wave in the early years of Ska Music, and made his name prominent in other genres, that soon made him an inspiration, and Icon. His name is Byron Lee, and if there was a “National Heroes Of Jamaican Music” category, he would’ve been on the list. The late Musician/Producer/Entrepreneur took the music to new territories, and has received numerous accolades for his accomplishments. His Dynamics Sounds Studio was one of the best in the Caribbean, he produced classics in multiple genres, and he gave us “Jamaica Carnival“, popularizing Soca Music in Jamaica, making it accessible for everyone. His band, The Dragonaires, became the standard for many bands in the Caribbean, and have been in movies, on the Radio, and at an event near you. Byron Lee has done so much for Jamaican Music, but today we’re highlighting some of the music that sampled the work of Mr. Lee in our latest Playlist.

While the list is not long, we invite you to tune in to some of the hits that Byron Lee produced over the years, and some of the tracks that used his sound to make their own hits. From Ska, to Dancehall, to Hip Hop, Lee’s DNA could be found in some of your faves. Those who are not familiar, can use this Playlist as a start into discovering more from the late Icon. Long live Byron Lee!

Windel Haye "Haunted House" (1979) on 13thStreetPromotions.com #Jamaica #Reggae #Dancehall #Music #13thStreetPromotions #WindelHaye #WindewHaye #HauntedHouse #SirCoxsoneDodd #StudioOne #OldiesSunday #OldSchool #Oldies #Caribbean #BarnabasCollins #Vampire #Halloween #DarkShadows

OLDIES SUNDAY: Windel Haye – Haunted House (1979)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Every year we hear people say, “Jamaicans don’t celebrate Halloween“, yet there are Jamaicans going to costume parties and Halloween-themed events. Make up your minds. Anyway, with October 31 basically around the corner, it’s time we featured a ghostly selection on “Oldies Sunday“. Today, we feature Windel (also known as Windew) Haye, and his single, “Haunted House“.

Produced by Sir Coxsone Dodd and released through Studio One in 1979, Windel Haye stands tall on “Haunted House”. He shares that he’s ready to conquer the beast, and any evil force that wishes to step into his space. Whether day or night, he’s armed, and he’s anticipating a battle. “Haunted House” was inspired by Barnabas Collins, a TV Vampire from the 1960s series, “Dark Shadows” that gained some popularity in Jamaica. Haye’s tune is aimed at the bloodsucking character, as he details how he will eradicate him. The song gained some popularity shortly after its release, and contended with tracks like “Barnabas Collins” by Lone Ranger, which was cited to be an inspiration. It was also released in the early days of Dancehall Music, showcasing the “Toasting” style that would quickly become the wave.

Since the release of “Haunted House”, not much was heard of Windel Haye. “Haunted House” was one of two tracks released by him in 1979, but in 1980, he released “Roots & Herb Style” under the name, “Field Marshall Haye“. “Haunted House” is still mentioned by many. Happy Halloween to those who celebrate it, and those who don’t celebrate it.

Thank You Windel Haye For This Tune!

Grab A Bottle Of Vybz Kartel’s “White Rum (Special)”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Some will say a party is not a party without some of their favourite liquor. While that may be true, but according to Vybz Kartel, a party is not a party without some of his specially-labeled alcoholic beverage. Fans will remember the days of “Street Vybz Rum” and its popularity, but the Deejay recently announced that he’s bringing back the liquor, but under a new name, “Str8 Vybz“. While it’s not officially out yet, he celebrates with the release of the new single, “White Rum (Special)“.

Released through Vybz Kartel Muzik, Vybz Kartel is in a drinking mood, and he invites you to get your cups up in “White Rum (Special)”. The new track gives fans a feeling of nostalgia, as he previously had hits that focused on liquor. If you like your drink straight or with a chaser, it’s all good in the party, as long as you’re having a good time. With the return of “Street Vybz Rum” (now named “Str8 Vybz”), there will be lots of toasting, sipping, and vibing come this holiday season. Remember to drink responsibly.
