Posted on by swadedavillain

A few years ago, we celebrated the late “King Of Pop” Michael Jackson by highlighting some of the popular Jamaican songs that covered his classics. Michael Jackson had and still has a strong musical influence on Jamaica, and tributes are made to him in various ways. Today, we present to you a special Playlist highlighting a few more covers called, “Jamaica Sings Michael Jackson!“.

Consisting of 20 tracks, we have a selection of Artists who all shared a love for Michael Jackson and his music, and they paid tribute to him in their own way. From Sugar Minott, to Vybz Kartel, to Tarrus Riley, to Christopher Martin, to Junior Reid, enjoy these few minutes of great music. Michael Jackson would’ve been 65 today, and many people around the world are celebrating his life and legacy. Long live the King Of Pop!

Jamaica Salutes Legendary Songwriter Thom Bell In Our New Playlist!

Posted on by swadedavillain

As we close another Black History Month, we use this last day to honour a Jamaican who helped to shape the musical landscape. His name is Thom Bell, and he is the co-creator of the “Philadelphia Soul” that reigned the 1970s. A Songwriter, Producer, Composer, and Arranger, Thom Bell gave the world classics, and has influenced generations. Today, we salute him with our latest Playlist titled, “Jamaica Sings For Thom Bell“.

Featuring 14 tracks (more would’ve been added if they were available for streaming), we highlight some of the Jamaican Artists who have covered songs that were either written, produced, or arranged by Thom Bell. From John Holt, to Horace Andy, to Boris Gardiner, to Alton Ellis, to Etana, we hear covers of classics by The Delfonics, Deneice Williams, The Stylistics, and more. Listeners can learn something new, or reconnect with songs that affected them in ways when they first heard them in the new Playlist. Soul Music along with R&B sounds have a heavy influence in Jamaican music, so it’s only right that many of the American classics were covered by some of the Jamaican greats. The late Thom Bell gave the world something special, and his work will continue to entertain and inspire. Thank you for everything Thom Bell, rest well.

Jamaicans Sing @BurtBacharach Hits In Our New Playlist!

Posted on by swadedavillain

On February 8, the music world lost one of the most influential persons in Pop Music, the late Burt Bacharach. With his songwriting, production, and various compositions whether solo or done with collaborators, Bacharach has given us some of the greatest songs and sounds, helped to elevate the careers of some of the best Artists including Dionne Warwick, Tom Jones, and Dusty Springfield, and scored Films such as “Casino Royale” (a James Bond Parody), “Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid“, “Arthur“, and “A Boy Called Po“. His work has influenced many, and in our latest Playlist, we cover some of the Jamaican Artists who have covered his songs.

In the “Jamaica Sings Burt Bacharach!” Playlist, we’ve featured 18 tracks that have given hit songs from the late Burt Bacharach a Jamaican touch. From Dennis Brown, to Wayne Wonder, to Diana King, to Dobby Dobson, get yourself familiar or reacquainted with some great music that came to life by Bacharach’s genius. Jamaicans covering some of your favourite International songs always went hand in hand, and we hope to cover a few more like this in the future. Sleep well Burt Bacharach.

Celebrate “12 Days Of Choppa Christmas” With Our New Playlist!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Christmas Day is almost here, and the parties have already started. Christmas is celebrated by all sorts of people from different backgrounds, but what about the Scammers and Choppas? While they use the other days of the year to relish in their spoils from various activities, how do they celebrate Christmas? Well, while we can’t answer that, we made a Playlist just for those who want to pretend to live like a Choppa during Christmas for a while.

With the “12 Days Of Choppa Christmas” Playlist, we’ve compiled 12 Chop Dancehall hits that instantly shut the place down. From Squash to Valiant, we hope you enjoy the tracks, and be sure to rock Polo, Aeropostale, American Eagle, Gucci, and Psycho Bunny while listening.

13th Street Promotions does not endorse scamming activities, but some of the songs are cool to listen to.

In case you see this before or after the day, we wish for you a great Christmas, and may it be all you wanted this year.

We Celebrate @Mavado_Gully’s Career In New “Gully Forever” Playlist!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today, November 30, we celebrate the birthday of a Dancehall legend. Many know of his many aliases including Mavado the Gully Gad, but his parents named him David Constantine Brooks! Mavado celebrates another year of life on Earth, and we celebrate his many works with our newest Playlist in a long while called, “Gully Forever: The Mavado Playlist“!

For over 9 hours, we bring to you some of Mavado’s greatest tracks. From breakout singles, to International collaborations, to even beef tracks, Mavado has done a lot of work for Jamaican music. Mavado has been influential to the culture, and has his place in being a part of one of Dancehall’s greatest beefs with Vybz Kartel, and forming an alliance that has divided Jamaicans for a long time. Salute Mavado wherever he is!
