.@BusySignal_Turf, Bitty Mclean Featured In @Netflix’s “The Kitchen” Film

Posted on by swadedavillain

Jamaican Music continues to make a bigger presence in more of the things we enjoy, and we love it. Recently, Video Streaming giant Netflix released the Sci-Fi drama, “The Kitchen“. The Film stars British Rapper/Actor Kane “Kano” Robinson and Jedaiah Bannerman, and was directed by Kibwe Tavares, and Daniel Kaluuya, known for the Films “Black Panther“, and “Get Out“. The British Film focuses on the characters Izi and Benji (Played by Robinson and Bannerman respectively) as the manoeuvre through a dystopian future London, as residents of the housing project, “The Kitchen”. The Film is filled with great visuals, and a selection of music that range from 80s hits, to Afrobeat, to UK Rap, to familiar Jamaican music that we share with you below.

Music from “The Kitchen” included the Jamaican hits “Stay So” by Dancehall Artist Busy Signal, and a dub version of “Walk Away From Love” from British Reggae Singer, Bitty McLean. “Stay So” was produced by Dameon Gayle for Warriors Musick on the “New Box Riddim“, and released in 2017. “Walk Away From Love” is a cover of US Singer David Ruffin’s 1975 hit, and featured production from the era of Duke Reid productions on his Treasure Isle label. Both the dub and single versions of “Walk Away” are featured on McLean’s 2004 album, “On Bond Street KGN. JA.“. Both songs have made significant marks in the careers of the respective Artists, and adds to the ever-stirring pot of cultures that Immigrants have shared with the British scene as highlighted in the Film. “The Kitchen” has already gained favourable reviews online, and is a top 10 Film on Netflix. Check it out today.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Pluto Shervington – Your Honour (1975)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recently, Jamaican music lost an Icon, the late Pluto Shervington. Quite the contributor to the culture, Shervington delivered a number of hits over the years, and lent his production prowess to a number of Artists. He will be missed by many. We’ve featured him previously, but today’s “Oldies Sunday” selection highlights his classic single, “Your Honour“.

Produced by Paul Khouri and released through the Wild Flower label in 1975, Pluto Shervington pleads his case in “Your Honour”. While held in Court, Pluto defends himself against an accusation that he was having relations with another man’s Wife. While he was caught in the couple’s bedroom closet and beaten by an angry Husband, he pleads that he is innocent, and shares that the Wife would defend him as he is a better man than the Husband. With its comedic element, “Your Honour” quickly became a hit for Pluto Shervington, securing a place in the UK Top 20 Music Chart. The song was included on the albums “Pluto” and “Again“.

Since the release of “Your Honour”, Pluto Shervington enjoyed a career locally and Internationally, performing at various venues, and releasing many more songs. Shervington transitioned on January 19, 2024, leaving behind a legacy that will be celebrated for years to come. “Your Honour” remains one of his most recognized singles.

Thank You Pluto Shervington For This Classic! Sleep Well.

Mortimer Delivers Another Hit For The Lovers With “Slowly”

Posted on by swadedavillain

No matter what’s going on in the world, Mortimer will step out with a love song. The Reggae Artist has been busy recording and performing in recent months, and even made appearances on records for other Artists. His “Lightning” single is still a song of choice for Weddings and celebrations of love, but for his new single “Slowly“, it will become a new addition to the soundtrack.

Produced by Winta James for Overstand Entertainment and released through Easy Star Records, Mortimer returns with a track that will bring the lovers out in “Slowly”. With his signature vocal delivery, the Singer shares lyrics about being the attentive partner who grants his lady’s wishes, she introducing him to a vibe like no other, placing him in a life filled with joy and love. Expect this one to be in heavy rotation leading up to Valentine’s Day, and become a permanent fixture after. Accompanying the new single is a brilliant video animated by one of Jamaica’s top Creatives, Ikem Smith. Mortimer doesn’t drop often, but when he does, it’s an event. This is for the lovers.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Yesterday, we reported that Recording Artist Alexx A-Game has ventured into the acting world with his debut in the upcoming “Bob Marley: One Love” Film. His profile will be going up a few levels this year, but music still has a place in heart. On that note, he released his first single for the year titled, “More Life“.

The self-produced “More Life” was released through Alexx A-Game’s New Level Music Group label, and it finds him making a toast to the real ones. A celebration of life, family and friends, overcoming obstacles, and having good energy around, A-Game gives us a song that will become an anthem for many from this day forward. A-Game has always delivered great music, and we can expect to hear even more later this year. In the meantime, keep the new single on rotation, and catch him on the big screen next month.

.@DamageMusiq Shares Teejay/Valiant “Homage (Day Ones)” Track Despite Possible Beef

Posted on by swadedavillain

Dancehall Music has seen its share of beefs over the years, from the biggest of stars, to upcoming acts. While clashes and diss tracks are exciting, we sometimes never know what the possibilities can be if those opponents actually collaborated. This week among a few beefs happening, Teejay and Valiant have stepped out with conflict. Two Artists who have had an amazing 2023 are now at odds during which would be another big year for them. Amidst the drama, we get a collaborated that was to see the light of day later this year called, “Homage (Day Ones)“.

Produced by Damage Musiq, “Homage (Day Ones)” finds Teejay and Valiant making a dedication to the loyal friends, the real ones, and the friends who have become family. Despite the pending beef between the two Artists (Honestly, wouldn’t be surprised if this beef was fabricated.), this is a track that is needed in times like these where backstabbing is common, and disloyalty is the new trend. Teejay is set to release the “I Am Chippy EP” next month, while Valiant is busy with new music and bookings. When this beef ends, we look forward to more from them. In the meantime, press play.
