Posted on by swadedavillain

When it comes to new music, this platform is here to deliver them. When it comes to new talent on the scene, it’s here for that too. Today, we introduce to you, a rising star named Rain. A protégé of Dancehall Artist Valiant, she looks to make bold moves in the music scene. Many heard her on her Valiant collab, “Bonnie & Clyde“, but today she stands on her own with, “XOXO (Think Like A Man)“.

Produced by YGF Records and RaheemWidTheBook, Rain is staying focused on, “Think Like Man”. Armed with a powerful voice and strong lyrics, she makes it clear that she’s not the girl to be taken for a fool, and she’s not here for the Men who aim to make her life a terrible one. If you want her, come correct, or don’t bother. She emphasizes on her statements with a Music Video directed by Damaniac Visualz, and let’s just say it wouldn’t be pretty if you try to deceive her. She’s not here for sweet nothings nor the flash of cash, she’s on a mission, and won’t be slowed down. Rain has the potential to be a big name, let’s see where her journey leads her.

The track speaks on the pain and suffering endured by Black people, the trauma that has been passed down through generations, and calls out those who try to justify the pain that was dished out. The three Artists share their unique voices and verses over some solid production, making the track one that will open door to more discussions about giving the victims their just due. September 20 looks to be a big day, and the anticipation for “From Within” has been growing. New music from a future legend.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Roy Shirley – Hold Them (1967)

Posted on by swadedavillain

As the Summer season winds down in its final few weeks, we wanted to keep listeners grooving until the end, and we hope to accomplish that with our “Oldies Sunday” selection. Today, we go back to the 1960s with Roy Shirley’s “Hold Them“.

Produced by Joe Gibbs and Lee “Scratch” Perry for his then Amalgamated Records and released in 1967, Roy Shirley was having a party in “Hold Them”. Considered the first Rocksteady single, “Hold Them” was made to get the people moving, and make anywhere a dance floor. Backed by energetic production, the track quickly became a hit locally and Internationally, and topping the music charts for 6 months in Jamaica, but it almost never happened. During the recording stages, Shirley tried to record the song in Ska style, but it wasn’t clicking. He tried to record it with Slim Smith (a friend and bandmate in the group “The Uniques“) and Ken Boothe, but during the failure of that route he was suggested to do it by himself in his own style by Musician/Singer Gladstone “Gladdy” Anderson. The song was rejected by a number of Producers at first, but recording it with Joe Gibbs was a move in a positive direction, and the rest was history.

Since the release of “Hold Them”, Roy Shirley went on to release more music, and perform in various parts of the world. Shirley passed away in 2008, leaving behind a legacy that connects with many today. “Hold Them” remains one of his biggest songs.

Thank You Roy Shirley For this Classic! Sleep Well.
