OLDIES SUNDAY: Roland Alphonso – Song For My Father (1967)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today (June 16) is recognized worldwide as “Father’s Day“. We appreciate the Men who understood the role they’re given, and have done their best in that department. For today’s Oldies Sunday selection, we pay tribute to them with Musician Roland Alphonso’s “Song For My Father“.

Produced by Leslie Kong along with Roland Alphonso and Beverley’s All Stars and released through Beverley’s Records in 1967, “Song For My Father” was Alphonso’s Ska version of the Horace Silver Quintet’s 1965 Jazz composition. The Jamaican version gives it a different kind of life, and opened it up for a different audience to appreciate. The original version according to Horace Silver was inspired by Brazilian music from a trip there, and Cape Verdean Portuguese Folk Music that his Father listened to. The Instrumental was a tribute to his Father and his love for the music, and the Jamaican version paid tribute to Jamaican Fathers. Alphonso’s version was one of many covers made, and was well-received by listeners over the years.

Whether you’re a Father, StepFather, Uncle, Grandfather, Godfather, Papa, Papi, Pop, Dada, big up yourself on this Father’s Day. Check out our “The Fathers Of Reggae/Dancehall” Playlist from a few years ago.

450 & @NLEChoppa1 Team Up For “Bad Gyal (Remix)”

Posted on by swadedavillain

All the bad gyal dem form a circle, this one is for you to enjoy. Dancehall Artist 450 continues his streak of top tier singles that will not only cause a scene in Jamaica, but shake up things in other parts of the world. Last year, he made some noise for the ladies with “Bad Gyal“, but this time around he calls them out for the “Bad Gyal (Remix)“.

Featuring US Rapper NLE Choppa, 450 is rounding up all the ladies for the “Bad Gyal (Remix)”. Choppa, who was raised in Memphis, Tennessee but shares a Jamaican background, dabbles in a lil Patois with 450, and they both share their admiration for the ladies who know how to keep them entertained. The collaboration was previewed earlier this year, but the official Music Video went through a series of delays. The Damaniac Visualz-directed clip finds the Artists partying it up with the ladies at a Mansion, and it comes just in time for the Summer party season. The collaboration looks to open up a few doors for 450, and we’ll possibly hear more from them in the future. It’s 10 mins to 5, and that means more hits.

What is Summer without some fun? What is Summer without a Block Party? New York-based Alternative R&B Recording Artist/Producer Nesta is eager to be a part of them all this Summer. So much so that he’s kicking things off with his new single, “Outside“.

The self-produced “Outside” track was released through Black Wax, and it finds Nesta embodying the spirit of the Summer, and beaming good energy on the track. With Gyptian’s classic “Hold Yuh” being sampled, we’re expecting flags waving at the cookout, the liquor flowing at the Beach Party, the nights being lit up at the street dance, and the vibes amplified at the Day Brunch parties. Nesta wants all the couples to get together at the dance, the ladies to step out in their best looks, everyone to enjoy life in the best way, and this Summer to be an unforgettable one. Whether you’re in New York, LA, London, Lagos, Port Of Spain, or Kingston, we’re gonna be outside this Summer! Bartender please bring another round.

Nigy Boy Deals With Some “Karma”

Posted on by swadedavillain

The life of a Casanova is not always an easy one, and Nigy Boy comes to a stop in his adventurous life. With songs about having Women in every Continent and having a knack for stealing them away from their Men, it looks like life may be going into a different direction for him. Could it be, love? For his new single, he may have to deal with some “Karma“.

Produced by Mccs Music Label and Sage The Great, Nigy Boy finds himself in a situation where love’s got a hold of him. There comes a time in a player’s life where that special Woman comes around, and he wants to continue life with just her, and no one else. Nigy sings about it all, and she really has a hold on him. The accompanying Music Video directed by Remar and Ridwaan for Dwayne Jordan Studio paints a picture on that and then some as we see Nigy being the lover boy. Shot in Guyana, Nigy is seen on dates with his lady, taking her shopping, and he is doing whatever to keep her pleased. But is it all good for Nigy? Things may not be what it seems at some point in the video, and you’ll have to watch to see what happens next. They say what goes around, comes back around.

Ozarie Calls Out The Chatterboxes In “Shut Up”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Vincy Mas is really right around the corner, and if you haven’t been preparing, then you better make something happen before it’s too late. With new music dropping frequently, we expect patrons to give their all on the road this season. With that said, Vincy Artist Ozarie Matthews drops a new single called, “Shut Up“.

Produced by Karbon Jamz on the “Road Tribute Riddim” and released through Hunttaflow Production, Ozarie calls out the chatterboxes, the tattletales, and the mouth a massy types in “Shut Up”. He shares that he has no tolerance for those who like to gossip and spread news, and he simply wants them to stay far from him, and be quiet. No matter what’s the discussion, if it’s no progressive, he has no time for it. Over production that’s influenced by the traditional Soca sound, we can expect the people to dance away to “Shut Up”, while avoiding the gossip. Ready for Vincy Mas?
