.@BusySignal_Turf, Bitty Mclean Featured In @Netflix’s “The Kitchen” Film

Posted on by swadedavillain

Jamaican Music continues to make a bigger presence in more of the things we enjoy, and we love it. Recently, Video Streaming giant Netflix released the Sci-Fi drama, “The Kitchen“. The Film stars British Rapper/Actor Kane “Kano” Robinson and Jedaiah Bannerman, and was directed by Kibwe Tavares, and Daniel Kaluuya, known for the Films “Black Panther“, and “Get Out“. The British Film focuses on the characters Izi and Benji (Played by Robinson and Bannerman respectively) as the manoeuvre through a dystopian future London, as residents of the housing project, “The Kitchen”. The Film is filled with great visuals, and a selection of music that range from 80s hits, to Afrobeat, to UK Rap, to familiar Jamaican music that we share with you below.

Music from “The Kitchen” included the Jamaican hits “Stay So” by Dancehall Artist Busy Signal, and a dub version of “Walk Away From Love” from British Reggae Singer, Bitty McLean. “Stay So” was produced by Dameon Gayle for Warriors Musick on the “New Box Riddim“, and released in 2017. “Walk Away From Love” is a cover of US Singer David Ruffin’s 1975 hit, and featured production from the era of Duke Reid productions on his Treasure Isle label. Both the dub and single versions of “Walk Away” are featured on McLean’s 2004 album, “On Bond Street KGN. JA.“. Both songs have made significant marks in the careers of the respective Artists, and adds to the ever-stirring pot of cultures that Immigrants have shared with the British scene as highlighted in the Film. “The Kitchen” has already gained favourable reviews online, and is a top 10 Film on Netflix. Check it out today.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Pluto Shervington – Your Honour (1975)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recently, Jamaican music lost an Icon, the late Pluto Shervington. Quite the contributor to the culture, Shervington delivered a number of hits over the years, and lent his production prowess to a number of Artists. He will be missed by many. We’ve featured him previously, but today’s “Oldies Sunday” selection highlights his classic single, “Your Honour“.

Produced by Paul Khouri and released through the Wild Flower label in 1975, Pluto Shervington pleads his case in “Your Honour”. While held in Court, Pluto defends himself against an accusation that he was having relations with another man’s Wife. While he was caught in the couple’s bedroom closet and beaten by an angry Husband, he pleads that he is innocent, and shares that the Wife would defend him as he is a better man than the Husband. With its comedic element, “Your Honour” quickly became a hit for Pluto Shervington, securing a place in the UK Top 20 Music Chart. The song was included on the albums “Pluto” and “Again“.

Since the release of “Your Honour”, Pluto Shervington enjoyed a career locally and Internationally, performing at various venues, and releasing many more songs. Shervington transitioned on January 19, 2024, leaving behind a legacy that will be celebrated for years to come. “Your Honour” remains one of his most recognized singles.

No matter what’s going on in the world, Mortimer will step out with a love song. The Reggae Artist has been busy recording and performing in recent months, and even made appearances on records for other Artists.

Chronic Law Protects His Luck On “Salt Gyal”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Have you ever been told to avoid certain places or persons, or doing certain things so you won’t receive bad luck? In Jamaica, an unlucky person would say they’re “Salt“, and would be suggested to bathe in a River to get back in a good place. For Dancehall Artist Chronic Law, an Artist who is notorious for avoiding people for other reasons, is now protecting his luck by avoiding a “Salt Gyal” in his new single.

Produced by DJ Mac and Crash Dummy on the “Chakka Riddim“, Chronic Law is not having it with a Woman who will bring him nothing but unlucky times in “Salt Gyal”. He shares his experience with meeting a Woman like that, and takes measures to avoid having his life turn upside down. The accompanying Music Video, directed by Dark Moon Cinema, finds DJ Mac getting caught in a few unlucky situations thanks to his lady friend. She has been compared to Lot’s Wife, and Mac is going to need more than a River bath to get rid of his bad luck. “Salt Gyal” was previewed on Social Media for a few days, and we’re glad it finally got the official release. Protect your luck out there.
