Natalie Bergman’s Cover Of The Slickers’ “Johnny Too Bad” Featured In @RoadHouseMovie

Posted on by swadedavillain

Jamaican Music and Pop Culture will always go hand in hand. From TV Shows, to Film, to a way of life, Jamaica’s influence is strong. Recently, the Amazon Prime Video platform released “Road House“. A remake of the the 1989 cult classic that starred the late Patrick Swayze, the 2024 Film stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Conor McGregor, and it finds the character Dalton (Gyllenhaal), an ex-UFC Fighter, who gets a job as a Bouncer in a Florida Keys Road House, and the trouble that finds him there. The Film features a soundtrack that is filled with a number of Bands who play Rock and Pop, but a familiar song, covered by Singer Natalie Bergman of Wild Belle, could be heard in a scene.

During an early part of “Road House”, Natalie Bergman and Wild Belle covered Jamaican Rocksteady/Reggae group The Slickers’ “Johnny Too Bad“. Produced by Byron Lee and released through the Panther Label in 1970, “Johnny Too Bad” was about a Gunman who was known to committing various crimes. The song highlights his crimes, but was given a warning that when it’s his time for his activities and life to end, there will be no escaping them. The single quickly gained popularity after its release, and was included in the soundtrack for the 1972 Jamaican classic Film, “The Harder They Come“, which starred Jimmy Cliff. The song was covered a number of times before Bergman’s, and included versions by UB40, Sublime, Dennis Brown, and Bunny Wailer. “Road House” is out now on Amazon Prime Video.

Posted on by swadedavillain

St. Lucia Carnival is around the corner, so now is a good time to get familiar with the tunes. Recording Artist Motto is on the job with new music, and you know he will be bringing the energy. Recently, he released the new single, “Check Yourself“.

Produced by Team Foxx and EN Production, Motto’s “Check Yourself” features Arthur Allain, and French Man. Together, they call out the energy drainers, the spies, the gossipers, and those who study badmind to keep their business to themselves, and go stay far away from them. In other words, gweh, and mind your flocking business. The Artists make for a great combination, and we can expect this one to be played at high volumes everywhere. “Check Yourself” is the latest in the batch of new “Dennery Segment” music to be released, and we can expect the vibes to turn up even more as we get closer to Carnival season in St. Lucia. Tell badmind to go the other way, it’s your moment to shine!

To get to the level where you’re “stink with the money” is not an easy feat, but faith can move mountains, fill pockets, and keep Bank accounts happy. It may be a lot of work, but he shares some of the benefits that come with his success as well. “Euro” was released in the early part of April, and has been getting positive feedback since. He followed up with a Music Video that was directed by Divine Global Production, and it’s all about the money, the Women, and upgrades to the wardrobe. Many individuals come from impoverished areas with difficult upbringings, so when the opportunity to get rich is available, there’s no turning back as a better life to live is out there for them.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Heavy D & The Boyz – Mood For Love (1989)

Posted on by swadedavillain

On “Oldies Sunday” we celebrate the classics and the underrated gems, and we aim to bring listeners back to a time when they first enjoyed the selection, and introduce new listeners to something they’ve never heard before. Some of our Artists are Caribbean-born, some are born overseas but highly influenced by the Caribbean. For today’s selection, we highlight a Jamaican-born Artist who grew up overseas, but never left his Caribbean background behind. He is the late Recording Artist/Producer/Dancer/Actor Heavy D, and we feature the track, “Mood For Love“.

Produced by the cousins Heavy D and Pete Rock and featuring Eddie F, “Trouble” T. Roy, and G-Whiz who form “Heavy D & The Boyz“, “Mood For Love” was released through MCA Records/Uptown Records in 1989. It’s all about love on “Mood For Love”, and everything good that comes along with it. The song finds Heavy D draws inspirations from Reggae/Dancehall, R&B, and Hip Hop, and delivers in a Deejay cadence with melodic parts throughout. The song also sampled Yellowman’s “Zungguzungguguzungguzeng” and Pat Kelly’s “I’m In The Mood For Love“. Heavy D encourages love to flow on through his song, and it quickly gained popularity from many listeners. While it wasn’t officially released as a single, it was featured on Heavy D & The Boyz’s Platinum-selling sophomore album, “Big Tyme“.

Since the release of “Mood For Love”, Heavy D and his “Heavy D & The Boyz” collective went on to release more music, and enjoy more success. “Trouble” T. Roy passed away in 1990, and was the inspiration for the classic Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth track, “They  Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)“. Born in Mandeville, Manchester and raised in Mt. Vernon, New York, Heavy D become an important figure in Hip Hop, played a role in the development of a few Artists including Soul for Real, never turning his back on his roots and collaborated with the likes of Super Cat, Frankie Paul, and Buju Banton, acted in a number of Films and TV Shows, performed the Theme songs for “In Living Color” and “Madtv“, and even made hits with Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, and B.B. King. Heavy D passed away on November 8, 2011, and despite the reports, his death has been a part of a few conspiracy theories in relation to Sean “P. Diddy” Combs, who has been the target of a number of investigations over the years. “Mood For Love” remains one of Heavy D’s more memorable tunes.

Thank You Heavy D For This Classic! S.I.P.

.@KyngTavii Protects His Secrets In New “Blackmail” Skit

Posted on by swadedavillain

Secrets, how many of us have them? How far would you go to protect them? Comedian/Actor Kyng Tavii has secrets that he keeps dear to his heart, but if the wrong person were to find them out, he would go to lengths to nip it in the bud. We get to see the extent of his efforts in his new video called, “Blackmail“.

Kyng Tavii rocks his infamous orange Polo shirt for his “Blackmail”, a shirt that has been a part of many classic videos. The video finds him having a conversation with a young lady, and things start to get spicy. She asks him a real personal question, and upon answering in confidence, he realizes that he was being watched. Knowing how detrimental it can get if his words were made public, he tries to quickly put a stop to his secret being spread. How he handled it would then cause even more trouble, but you’d have to watch the video to see what happens.

Kyng Tavii has been staying real busy lately as he made a promise to be Jamaica’s biggest Streamer with frequent appearances on TikTok and exclusive content on Patreon, and he starred in the recently released “Weekenders” Film which was directed by Andrew Trabass and Famous Sosick. Expect more from the Taviidon soon.
