Elephant Man Doubles Up With New Singles

Posted on by swadedavillain

Dancehall Artist Elephant Man is ready to make a lot more noise for the rest of 2024. Having enjoyed a summer where he connected with new and old fans through energetic live performances, he’s not letting the flame die down, and he’s going the extra mile. Not only is he putting in the work in the Studio, but for his latest release, he doubles up with the new singles, “Dem Nuh Like We“, and “Walk Out Gyal“.

Produced and released through Energy God Productions, “Dem Nuh Like We” and “Walk Out Gyal” finds Elephant Man giving the people even more to enjoy from him. On “Dem Nuh Like We”, he addresses the haters who make it their job to try to overthrow his place as a Dancehall great, and blur his focus. Borrowing some elements from the 1962 Otis Redding classic “These Arms Of Mine“, Ele gets melodic on bad mind people, and emphasizing that they can never break his stride, and every move makes him stronger. “Walk Out Gyal” is aimed at the ladies who value family and friends, and do things that will elevate their way of living, and live a conscience-free life. If you know your name can’t be mentioned in negativity, walk out with your good self to this one.

Elephant Man is in and out the Island thanks to a series of live performances in North America, and he promises to keep the music factory running with more music in the coming weeks. He is still enjoying Social Media and streaming love off of the singles “Work Out“, “Bad Gyal“, and “Dancing School“, and urges the public to keep the music in rotation, and request their favourite DJs to play them at events.

Elephant Man’s “Dem Nuh Like We” and “Walk Out Gyal” are out now on all digital music streaming platforms.

Ghost Takes On The Pop Music Charts With ‘Be Your Friend’ Single

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recording Artist Ghost is a Jamaican Music legend. With decades of hits, no one can deny that when he takes centerstage, it’s his moment to shine, and dominate. While has commanded music from some of your favourites with his own covers, he has created quite a number of original songs over the years that found favour with listeners. Aiming to further showcase his versatility, he steps out with the upcoming new single, “Be Your Friend”.

Produced by his MS Music label, Ghost gets into Pop vibes with the release of, “Be Your Friend”. Presenting smooth vocals and his ability to command his form over the production, the Singer finds himself approaching a lady, having a conversation in hopes that they can have a fruitful connection. The track was written by Ghost and P. Wright, and it looks into bringing back the times when dating was all about presenting your best self and getting to know the person you approached. Compared to the ideals of the new generation with Apps and Social Media, Ghost shares what he believes is the right approach through song, and encourages listeners to use their words the right way. Sometimes the best relationships started out as great friendships, and love is a beautiful thing when done right.

Ghost is currently working on his new album, “Underrated”, and the project will symbolize the decades-long tenure of a Man who put his all into the music, a Man who has sometimes been left out of the important music conversations, but his talent allowed him to connect with many around the world, building a strong supporting community in the process. Many try to paint him as a cover Artist, and while many of his hits are indeed cover songs, his albums possess some amazing original songs that have become fans favourites, and scored big points with the audience during his live performances. “Underrated” is expected to see an early 2025 release. He is also gearing up for his headlining event come November 24 at the Di Lot in Kingston.

Ghost’s “Be Your Friend” will be released on October 25 through MS Music. Pre-save the single here.

OLDIES SUNDAY: The Cimarons – Paul Bogle (1976)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Monday October 14 will commence “Heritage Week” in Jamaica. The week leads up to the celebration of our National Heroes on October 21st, and the Island has a number of events lined up. We try to highlight the celebration of our heroes every year on “Oldies Sunday“, and today is no different. Today’s selection comes from The Cimarons with their track, “Paul Bogle“.

The self produced “Paul Bogle” track was released in 1976 through the Cimarak label, and it finds The Cimarons highlighting the contributions of the late National Hero, Paul Bogle. Bogle was a Deacon and Activist from the Parish of St. Thomas, and was instrumental in the 1865 Morant Bay Rebellion. The song encourages everyone to say Bogle’s name loudly, and salute him for the great things he has done in prompting the freedom of Black people in Jamaica. His sacrifice was widely regarded, and he was posthumously awarded the title of National Hero by the Government of Jamaica in 1969 along with George William Gordon, who was involved in the Morant Bay Rebellion, Marcus Garvey, Alexander Bustamante, and Norman Washington Manley. He was immortalized through numerous publications, songs, events, and art, and was the face of the Jamaican 10 cent coin, the $2 bill, and since 2023, is one of the faces of the $50 bill. This past October 11 was recognized as “Paul Bogle Day” in Jamaica. The track became a favourite for many listeners thanks to its dose of knowledge, and was featured on The Cimarons’ 1976 album, “On The Rock“. It was re-recorded and released in early 2024.

Salute Our Heroes! Thank You Cimarons For This Great Song!

.@JahvyAmbassador, Alkaline Take #1 Spot With “Dangerous Youth”

Posted on by swadedavillain

No matter what the detractors may say, Dancehall Music is still a dominant force. It continues to be a global phenomenon thanks to the many Ambassadors of the genre, and will stay that way for years to come. Dancehall Producer Jahvy of Tru Ambassador Ent. has been a dedicated representative of the culture, and he has enjoyed a vast amount of success over the years. He recently celebrated another milestone thanks in part to Dancehall Artist, Alkaline.

Recently, Jahvy and Alkaline teamed up for the single, “Dangerous Youth”. Another entry in the list of collaborations they have together, “Dangerous Youth” finds the Deejay in his element as one of Dancehall’s big names over solid production. The collaboration quickly gained traction on music streaming platforms, climbing to over 100,000 views on Youtube in just hours. Strong support for the single was expected, but it further solidified its place by taking the #1 spot on the iTunes Reggae Singles chart. The move was deemed monumental as it towered over Bob Marley’s classic single, “Three Little Birds”, Stephen Marley’s “You Don’t Know How It Feels”, iNi Kamoze’s “Here Comes The Hotstepper”, Shaggy’s “Angel” and “It Wasn’t Me”, and Jimmy Cliff’s “I Can See Clearly Now”. Jahvy shared his accomplishment on Social Media with the caption, “#1, doh get e figure wrong”, and shouting out Alkaline as collaborator, and longtime friend.

Jahvy continues to keep his Tru Ambassador Ent. Ship sailing, and with the success of Dancehall Artist 450, and Producers Week.Day and Falconn under his management, there is a lot more ground for him to conquer. He has hinted at a number of developments to come via his Social Media platforms, and he urges fans to stay tuned.

Jahvy and Alkaline’s “Dangerous Youth” is out now on all digital music streaming platforms.
