Squash Unloads The Badness On “Get Up”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Wake up, wake up! Dancehall Artist Squash is walking around with the alarm clock, because it’s time for some 6ix badness. He’s on time, so get ready for his new tune, “Get Up“.

Produced by 6ixReal Records/Attomatic Records/Dan Sky Records, Squash unloads the badness on “Get Up”. The “6ix Boss” is making it be known that he’s ready for whatever, and he’s not walking around with toys, so tread carefully. The song gained some attention within the past few weeks thanks to its intro which found Squash urging everyone to get up. The intro became a popular sound on TikTok and Instagram, and built up anticipation for single. Squash has been enjoying quite the buzz earlier this year off of the “Big Breeze“, “Shubout“, and “Sweepstakes Dweet” singles, and he will keep the momentum going for the rest of the year. He recently held his first headliner event in 5 years in the US, and that may be a sign of even more to come from the Deejay. Set your alarm clocks.

Posted on by swadedavillain

We’re celebrating “Hispanic Heritage Month” on Oldies Sunday. Hispanic Americans continue to make significant contributions to entertainment, sports, and pop culture, and we have highlighted a number of them. Today’s feature comes from American Singer of Puerto Rican and Cuban descent Irene Cara with her single, “Flashdance…What A Feeling“.

Produced by Giorgio Moroder and released through Casablanca Records in 1983, Irene Cara had the people moving with “Flashdance…What A Feeling”. The Dance-Pop single shared lyrics of believing in yourself, letting the music move you, and doing something great to be a success even when the odds are stacked against you. “Flashdance” was a single on the soundtrack for the 1983 Film of the same name and it was used in a pivotal part of the Film, and went on to become a #1 Billboard Hot 100-charting hit, a Gold certification, a GRAMMY award for “Best Female Pop Vocal Performance“, and Academy and Golden Globe awards for “Best Original Song“. In 2023, it was chosen by the Library Of Congress for inclusion in the National Recording Registry. It also pushed the soundtrack to go 6x Platinum.

Since the release of “Flashdance…What A Feeling”, Irene Cara went on to release more music, acted in numerous Films and Broadway productions, and collaborated with a number of Artists before passing away in 2022. “Flashdance…What A Feeling” remains one of her most successful singles.

Yo West gave the “Sparta Boss” the right production that matches the Deejay well, and if it doesn’t get the people moving, we don’t know what will.

450 Lives The Gyalis Life In “No Attachment”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Dancehall Artist 450 continues to elevate, and it’s a good look. The Artist doesn’t get involved in petty matters, you don’t hear his name in drama, he just makes music, gets bookings, and builds his fanbase. He recently showed Canada a good time with a sold out show, and has been enjoying the fruits of his labour with his Tru Ambassador Ent. team. He keeps the music going with the release of “No Attachment“.

Produced by DHW Recordings, 450 is living the gyalis life in “No Attachment”. He’s making moves on this girl, that girl, your girl, and they have their moments before going their separate ways. 450 doesn’t have time for anything long-term, and don’t think you can tie him down. The Singjay keep his music factory busy with new content, but some have been asking for an album. Will we get that request fulfilled in 2025? We just have to wait and see. In the meantime, catch him in a city near you taking over the stages, clubs, and show grounds. It’s 10 minutes to 5, time for new 450.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Tito Puente – Oye Cómo Va (1962)

Posted on by swadedavillain

We’re celebrating “Hispanic Heritage Month” on Oldies Sunday. Hispanic Americans made significant contributions from entertainment, to sports, to pop culture, and we have highlighted a number of them. Today’s feature comes from Puerto Rican-American Musician Tito Puente with the track, “Oye Cómo Va“.

Composed by Tito Puente and released through Tico Records in 1962, “Oye Cómo Va” is a celebration of rhythm, as it features very little vocals. Carried by horn, percussion, piano, flutes, and string arrangements, the Cha-Cha-Chá track encouraged dancing, and plenty was done when this was released. The track was inspired by Cuban Composer Cachao’s Mambo track “Chanchullo” from 1957, and listeners could hear the similarities in the arrangement. “Oye Cómo Va” was featured on Puente’s 1962 album, “El Rey: Bravo“, and success for the track came soon after as it was covered by American Rock Band Santana (lead by Mexican-American Musician Carlos Santana) in 1971 to high chart placements, and a place in the Latin Grammy Hall Of Fame in 2001, and the Grammy Hall Of Fame in 2002. The track was also covered by Joe Cuba, Julio Iglesias, Celia Cruz, Kinky, Natalie Cole, and Chisato Moritaka.

Since the release of “Oye Cómo Va”, Tito Puente went on the enjoy a decades-long music career, dabbled in making TV appearances, collected awards and accolades, and shared his music with the world stage until his passing in 2000. “Oye Cómo Va” remains one of his most recognizable compositions, and a representation of the interconnectedness, transnationality, and hybridity of Latin Music in the US.
