Rum-Bar Secures 450 Through MultiMillion-Dollar Endorsement Deal

Posted on by swadedavillain

Dancehall Artist 450 knew early on that when opportunity comes, he takes full advantage. Since breaking out a couple years ago, he has been on a run that earned him millions of Youtube views, heavy rotation on Radio, online, and at your favourite events, continuous bookings locally and Internationally, and success that gets better every time. He now takes on Corporate Jamaica as Rum-Bar’s newest Ambassador.

Recently, Worthy Park Estate, the company behind the popular Rum-Bar brand and Rum-Bar Rum, secured 450 in a multimillion-dollar endorsement deal. The brand has been busy recruiting some big names over time, and the high profile Artist was the right pick for their latest acquisition. Possessing the charisma, personality, and looks along with a heavy presence on the scene, Rum-Bar believed in 450’s marketability, and they look forward to making him a part of many projects in the coming months. He was introduced along with fellow Dancehall Artist/Ambassador Vanessa Bling in the just-released “Vibes Of Jamaica” campaign, and the feedback so far has been positive. 450 is gearing up to release more music in the coming weeks, and will be performing at a stage near you. Congrats 450! Drink responsibly.

Susan Smith Provides Uplifting Messages With Children’s Book Series

Posted on by swadedavillain

The new School year is upon us, and many of our little ones are leaving homes to learn in new institutions. With the schoolbooks, uniforms, backpacks, and snacks taking their places on the list, we’d like to include something extra special to inspire them outside of the classroom courtesy of Susan Smith.

Susan Smith is a Jamaican Publicist and Author who has worked with numerous Entertainers and Institutions over the years through Powerhouse Global Media, and in recent years delved into Children’s books. On a mission to promote self confidence, the appreciation of black identity, and a positive mindset from an early age, Smith released the books, “Little Black Girl“, and “Hey Black Boy“. “Little Black Girl” was released in 2022, and it features 5 year old Kyra-Rose and her mother who share a special poem, and a series of positive affirmations that empower and uplift little Black Girls who will grow up to become positive Women and role models. Smith’s follow up book “Hey Black Boy”, follows the same formula as the previous release, and features a little boy named Malik, who helps to encourage little Black Boys to be their best selves, and be more conscious, loving, and appreciative of the skin they’re in. “Hey Black Boy” was released in the early part of Summer 2023, and along with “Little Black Girl”, received heaps of praise and positive reviews. Micah Goldsmith also provided beautiful illustrations for the books.

“Little Black Girl” and “Hey Black Boy” are a part of a series that Susan Smith is working on, and she looks to follow up with her 3rd release along with supplementary workbooks and journals in 2024. She has been reaching out to the public through a series of Interviews, launches, and School visits, and looks to make a greater impact with her work in other parts of the world. In a time where confidence and love are low, help to uplift the Children today with great material from Susan Smith. “Little Black Girl” and “Hey Black Boy” are now available on Amazon.

.@JermaineEdwards, @TrinixMusic, & Rushawn’s “Beautiful Day” Featured In New @Apple Campaign

Posted on by swadedavillain

Tech giant Apple has always been one of the leading companies when it comes to new devices. From the iPhones, to Macbooks, to Airpods, the company has contributed to the way people consume content, and made tasks easier. Earlier today, they launched new devices as a part of their “Wonderlust” September event. While the public will have new tech to spend money on, Apple launched a new campaign for their Apple Watch line featuring a familiar sound. It was none other than Gospel Artist Jermaine Edwards, viral sensation Rushawn Ewears, and Production duo Trinix’s “Beautiful Day (Remix)“.

“Beautiful Day” was originally recorded and released by Jermaine Edwards in 2014, but was given new life when a 2017 video of a young Rushawn Ewears reciting the song made a series of appearances on Social Media in late 2022/early 2023, and numerous remixes were made which included a version done by Trinix. To date, Trinix’s version of “Beautiful Day” has surpassed 45 Million views on Youtube, and the popularity of the viral videos and remixes helped to secure a Sony Music UK deal for Edwards, and opportunities for Ewears. Apple’s new campaign highlights the many times the Apple Watch has helped people who have had health issues, sharing a few stories throughout, and them celebrating birthdays in their respective homes. The “Beautiful Day” remix was used for the soundtrack, and will definitely boost the profiles of everyone involved.

.@SartoutRecords Continues To Strive, And Build A Legacy

Posted on by swadedavillain

Western Jamaica-based Sartout Records is holding on strong, and making big moves even amidst challenging times. The label was originally started in the early 2010s by twin brothers Darren and Dane Sortie, and together they developed a sound that stood out on the scene, and built a respectable catalogue with Artists who went on to make indelible marks in Jamaican music. From building Riddims in their room to scoring the “Top Prize”, the twin producers took on the Industry with a strong determination to win. The duo took a chance on an upcoming Artist named Alkaline, and it paid off as he went on to become a Dancehall anomaly, and they have shared a strong working and personal friendship over the years. Sartout Records is currently down to one member, Darren, as Dane passed away in 2021 due to complications from Covid 19, but the label continues to thrive.

“The journey continues with Sartout Records despite losing Dane, and there’s a lot more in store as the label has been having some great years,” shared Darren Sortie in quick chat recently. “I’m just working on more things to further honour my brother and father (who passed away along with Dane due to Covid complications), and I’m excited to share them to the world. This year already got a taste of the Sartout sound on Alkaline’s “Boss”, “Motivation”, “Nah Laugh”, “Open A Brain”, and “Cya Tame”, and they have been doing well with the fans supporting them on Youtube, and on the major streaming platforms. Alkaline was an Artist we believed in from the start, so it’s a blessing that we’re still working together in 2023.”

“Intoxicated” is Minto’s official entry into Afrobeats, with the hopes of making an impact. Done in collaboration with Nigerian-born/UK-based Recording Artist Kid AlpHa, the single is about finding someone special and having a good time together. A track that will have couples getting lost in each other, promoting a good vibe that will be contagious. Minto provides an infectious sound on the track, and paired with Kid AlpHa’s melodic delivery, make for a track that will be instantly loved by the listener. Minto and AlpHa make for a great combination, and plans are already afoot for future collaborations. “Intoxicated” is expected to become a hit for the collaborative duo, permeating radio throughout the Caribbean, and taking a significant place in African, European, and the American markets over the coming weeks.

Minto has played a significant role in Dancehall/Reggae music for a number of years, and has worked with the likes of Skillibeng, Vybz Kartel, Tatik, Kyodi, Popcaan, Munga Honorable, Charly Black, and Safaree. He looks to make a bigger impact in his production field, with more singles and Riddim compilations in the works. Kid AlpHa started his music career officially in 2020 with the single “Price Tag”, and quickly found success, becoming an Artist to know in Nigeria, the UK, South America, and other parts of the world. He has a number of singles to his name, and possesses a determination to make a bigger name for himself globally.

Listeners can look forward to another side of Minto when he officially releases “Intoxicated” with Kid AlpHa on September 1st on all digital music streaming platforms through ONErpm. Pre-save here.
