OLDIES SUNDAY: Alozade – Jamaica (2002)

Posted on by swadedavillain

In a few days, Jamaica will celebrate its 62nd year of Independence. We’re just celebrating a lil early on “Oldies Sunday“. Today’s selection comes from Dancehall Artist/Producer Alozade with the track, “Jamaica“.

Produced by Cordel “Skatta” Burrell on the “Martial Arts Riddim” and released through the Kings Of Kings label in 2002, Alozade delivered his “Jamaica” track for the patriots. The track finds him highlighting some of the many things that are unique to the Island, being a proud “Yard Man” who will never trade in his citizenship, and encourages listeners to be proud of where they’re from. The “Martial Arts Riddim” gained some popularity in the 2000s, and “Jamaica” was one of the tracks that gained some attention for the Deejay. The track was also played by many during Jamaica’s Independence Day celebrations in parts of the world.

Since the release of “Jamaica”, Alozade has maintained a Music career that found him doing a lot more production, but keeping the Studio busy with single releases. “Jamaica” is still remembered and played around the world.

Jahshii Shares That Hard Times “Never Last”

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s a new month, and for many, the start of some great days. Today (August 1) is recognized as “Emancipation Day” in Jamaica, Guyana, Dominica, The Bahamas, Antigua and Barbuda, St. Lucia, Barbados, Belize, Trinidad and Tobago, Bermuda, Turks & Caicos, Grenada, Saint Kitts and Nevis, and St. Vincent and The Grenadines, and the fight continues. Dancehall Artist Jahshii continues his fight for greatness, and he shares some encouragement in the new single, “Never Last“.

Produced by Shakespeare on the “Painless Riddim“, Jahshii emphasizes on “Never Last” that tough times never last, but tough people do. He reflects on times when he wasn’t at his best, but shares the determination that success is his for the taking. The track serves as a motivator for those who are facing their times of struggles, with the knowledge that you can overcome it all because the hardship is temporary. The Islands that are celebrating “Emancipation Day” have seen their share of hard times, but continue to work for times of prosperity, and inspire others. Keep on fighting.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Fathead – Champion (1983)

Posted on by swadedavillain

The winning season is here, and it’s going down in Paris, France for the 2024 Olympic Games. We wish all the Athletes all the best, but we really want Team Jamaica to carry home a lot of Gold. Today’s Oldies Sunday selection highlights another type of Champion, and we present to you the late Dancehall Artist Fathead with the track, “Champion“.

Produced by Henry “Junjo” Lawes and released through Greensleeves in 1983, Fathead stands tall as an achiever in “Champion”. He shares and celebrates his accomplishments, reflects on his journey, and highlights his abilities that earned him his wins. The track was done over the “Revolution Riddim“, and it became a known release for the Deejay. During a time when Sound Clashes ruled the night, Fathead is one of many who would help a Sound System secure the win, and defeat a fellow Deejay when it came to one on one spats.

Since the release of “Champion”, Fathead would go on to release more singles, including some with longtime friend and collaborator Yellowman. Sadly, he would lose his life in 1988, but his music continues to live on in many who see themselves as champions. Today’s post was inspired by Team Jamaica, let’s get the Gold!
