Get Some Of @KesTheBand’s “Cocoa Tea” In Your Life!

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s a new week, and some of us are having a hard time adjusting for the busy days. For some of us, we never wanted the weekend to end, but life doesn’t work like that. Fortunately, there is always something or someone who is there to keep you going. For Kes, we learn about, “Cocoa Tea“.

Produced by Tano, Kes and the band come through with a dedication to that Woman who is definitely “Ms. Pick Me Up” in “Cocoa Tea”. When it comes to your person, nothing can ruin your day when they’re in it. For the sunny days, for the rainy ones, you two become a bubbling pot of fun, love, and lasting memories. Over some smooth production, the song comes at a good time as it’s getting chilly, and we’re gonna need a “live blanket“. Come 2025, Kes will be celebrating a 20 year career, and make it a moment at the IZWE 25 concert at the Queen’s Park Savannah in Trinidad. Play the new tune for your lover.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Chuck Turner – I Need You (1988)

Posted on by swadedavillain

On “Oldies Sunday“, we celebrate the Singers. The ones who know how to add melodies to the songs we enjoy. No matter their level, there’s an audience for them. Today’s selection comes from a Singer who many consider underrated. He goes by the name Chuck Turner, and we feature his track, “I Need You“.

Produced by King Jammy’s on the “I Need You Riddim“/”Cat Paw Riddim” and released through Jammy’s Records in 1988, “I Need You” is Chuck Turner’s Dancehall cover of the 1985 hit single by the late Singer and founder of Earth, Wind & Fire, Maurice White. Turner makes the original track his with his unique vocals, handling the Riddim provided properly throughout. “I Need You” quickly became a hit, and gave Turner opportunities to perform the track in Jamaica, throughout the Caribbean, and other parts of the world. The track would later be featured on Turner’s “One The Hard Way” album, and on numerous compilations.

Since the release of “I Need You”, Chuck Turner became of the standout voices of the 80’s Dancehall scene. He released more music in the 1990s, and is still active in the music business. He was involved in a couple near-death experiences, made an appearance at the popular Rebel Salute event, and even reunited with King Jammy’s in the late 2010s. “I Need You” is his biggest hit, and is still played around the world.

Thank You Chuck Turner For This Classic!

Posted on by swadedavillain

If you’re a follower of this platform, you’d know of Canada-based Recording Artist King Cruff. Since the late 2010s, he has been on the scene building his fanbase, and developing his sound. Blending Hip Hop with Dancehall, Reggae, Afrobeats, Pop, and a lil EDM, he has been winning over listeners with his selections, and silencing his doubters. Earlier this year, we released a Short Film on Cruff, and he revealed that he would be releasing a project this year. He came through on that word with the release of his debut EP, “What Have I ‘Don“.

Presenting 6 tracks, King Cruff takes center stage with his “What Have I ‘Don” EP. His skillset takes an upgrade as he shows that world that he is made for this. An exhibition of potent flows and sharp lyrics that tap into Afrobeats, Dancehall, Hip Hop, and Pop sounds, this representative of the Tuff Gong camp has what it takes to make music that will stand out. Released through Tuff Gong Collective/Universal Music Canada, Cruff recruited Banx & Ranx, !llmind, CircaEleven, OLivR, and Natural High Music for some heavy production while Skip Marley, Solo Yt, Jag.Huligin, and StoneBwoy join in on the fun. King Cruff is here to make an impact and do a lot for the culture, and like his Grandfather, dem a go tyad fi see him face.

Summer is long gone, but the good times and memories haven’t faded away. While the time has gotten chilly (and wet if you’re in the Caribbean currently), we hope the new musical selections have brought some warmth in your life. Recording Artist Kyraxx steps out with some long-awaited music, and he gives us his new “Summer Woes” project.

Featuring 10 tracks, Kyraxx deals with the ladies and love, and all that comes with those throughout the “Summer Woes” project. Like the Summer, he brings some heat here, and listeners will relate to some of the episodes in his life that he shares in the lyrics. Released through Sound Ting, the project features Iotosh on the production that taps into Dancehall, Pop, and R&B sounds, with guest appearances by Zac Jone$ and Royal Blu on a couple tracks. Kyraxx may not release music as often as his peers, but he makes it a moment when he does. Summer in the Autumn time.

Dancehall Music in Japan continues to rise, and with the help of the Artists there, the movement will only get stronger with time. One of the scene’s imports is Recording Artist Jdart, who has been making significant contributions through music releases, and collaborations. Hailing from Jamaica, he has shared his platform with a number of Jamaican and Japanese acts, and looks to take the music to another level. Recently, he joined with fellow Artists for the motivational single, “Warrior“.

Produced and released through CutSleeve Records, Jdart provides some motivation with the new single, “Warrior”. Featuring 1Kahzy, Galiano, and Shatti Mafia who are all based in Japan, they each share the important things in life, and encourage listeners to focus on the right things as well. A collaboration that shares brotherhood, upliftment, and unity, “Warrior” is expected to connect with the people, make an impact not only in the Asian market, but in the Caribbean, and the rest of the world. Jdart continues to expand in Dancehall, and with his base in Japan, we can expect a lot more from him. This one is for the believers.

OLDIES SUNDAY: ISasha – Don’t You Know (2007)

Posted on by swadedavillain

On “Oldies Sunday“, we feature hits, classics, one-hit wonders, guilty pleasures, and underground favourites. Today’s selection is no different, and we fly over to Trinidad and Tobago to check out ISasha’s “Don’t You Know“.

Produced and released by Studio 53 Entertainment in 2007, ISasha makes a dedication to his Woman who he misses dearly in “Don’t You Know”. Relationships are sometimes hard, and there will be conflicts, and ISasha pleads for her return as he reflects on what makes her special to him, and shares future plans. With a melodic delivery over a production that features the usage of the Steel Drum, “Don’t You Know” became an instant hit in Trinidad and parts of the world, and secured a favourite spot for many in their collections. “Don’t You Know” was featured on the album, “Real & Down To Earth“, which was done in collaboration with the late Trini Artist Million Voice. The song was later featured on ISasha’s 2017 album, “Talk The Truth“.

Since the release of “Don’t You Know”, ISasha continued to keep himself busy in music. Some have labeled him a “one-hit wonder“, but he went on to release more music that became hits for many, performed his songs in various countries, celebrated over 25 years as a Recording Artist, and is currently promoting the 2nd staging of the “ISasha In Concert” in San Fernando, Trinidad. “Don’t You Know” remains his biggest hit, and it continues to be requested for Dub plates, a popular song request, and a concert favourite.

Thank You ISasha For This Hit Song!
