OLDIES SUNDAY: @Tanya_Stephens – Yuh Nuh Ready Fi Dis Yet (1996)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Women’s History Month is being recognized on the Blog this month. How can we not highlight a Woman who is one of the Jamaica’s greatest Artists? In some circles she is hailed as one of Jamaica’s greatest Lyricists, and in other circles she is considered a criminally underrated Artist. For Oldies Sunday, we feature Tanya Stephens and her single, “Yuh Nuh Ready Fi Dis Yet“.

Produced by Dave Kelly on the “Joy Ride Riddim“, and released through the Mad House Label in 1996, Tanya Stephens takes the mic to call out all the Men who have been selfish towards their Women, who have not been treating them right, and who been pushing a claim that they are the ideal Men. Tanya steps out with a few lines to let them know that their egos can be deflated instantly when the Woman gives him a dose of his own Medicine. If you’re not mature enough to take care of a Woman, leave her alone is Tanya’s message here. “Yuh Nuh Ready Fi Dis Yet” was the breakout single for Tanya Stephens, as it became prominent on music charts, and had every Woman from young to old singing her song line for line. The single was also featured on Tanya’s sophomore album, “Too Hype“

Since the release of “Yuh Nuh Ready Fi Dis Yet”, Tanya Stephens became a dominant force, and was highly respected as a Lyricist for a number of years. She went on to release more blazing singles and solid bodies of work, and has extended her pen game to other Artists, giving them hits as well. She deserves her Flowers and accolades, and she has inspired many Women around the world.

thank you tanya stephens!

.@ShenYeng Takes Her Career To The Next Level With “ALPHA” Debut Album

Posted on by swadedavillain

Dancehall Artist Shenseea is a go-getter. Since her breakout in 2016, she has been one of the more consistent Artists, dropping plenty hits, and steadily growing her fanbase. Her career took a change for the better when she became the spokesperson for many corporate brands locally and Internationally, but when she signed to Rich Immigrants/Interscope Records, the world was going to see a lot more of her. With a few high profile collaborations and International appearances secured, fans were anticipating an album from Shenseea. She finally made that move with the release of her debut album, “ALPHA“.

Featuring 14 tracks, Shenseea is ready to make a bigger impact on the globe with “ALPHA”. While many Dancehall Artists scoffed at the idea of making albums, the tunes changed in recent years, and Shen joins a growing list of Artists who have released at least 1 complete body of work. Shenseea still gives fans a dose of her signature style, but she taps into other lanes on this album as well. She shows that she has bars, and holds a note well throughout, and with collaborations with Offset, Megan Thee Stallion, Beenie Man, Sean Paul, 21 Savage, and Tyga, her name and face will be present in many more places, encouraging more collabs. She still connects with her Dancehall sounds thanks to Rvssian, Stephen “Di Genius” McGregor, Chimney Records, and Romeich Entertainment, but she takes advantage of the label’s connections by hopping on beats from Scott Storch, Dr. Luke, Cool & Dre, London On Da Track, Murda Beatz, and many others.

Shenseea may be on board to creating history, and only time will tell if she will have an impact like Sean Paul and Shaggy, or greater. “ALPHA” is just a small dose of what’s to come from her, and we hope Jamaica and the rest of the world are ready for it. Congrats to Chinsea!

Rytikal Stays Blessed And Is The “Man Of The Moment”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Dancehall Artist Rytikal has been consistently putting in the work and becoming one of the hottest acts to emerge in the past 2 years. He covers various topics, he shows that he is always elevating his lyricism, and he instantly connects with the people through his flow and delivery. Never missing an opportunity to provide some motivation, he gives us a dose with the video for “Man Of The Moment“.

Directed by Dream Life Image Photography, Rytikal takes himself to the hills to find some peace and be away from all negativity. He gives us a great message over a Riddim produced in conjunction with Dynasty Entertainment/Attomatic Records/Rytikal Music Group/Hemton Music, and we can expect this single to travel very far. Rytikal is gearing up to release a joint EP with Dancehall Artist Jahshii, who has been gaining an enormous amount of buzz in the past few months. Stay prayed up, and be blessed!

.@BusySignal_Turf Proceeds With Caution On “Yeng Yeng”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Are there any Bike lovers here? What is your favourite Bike? How about a Yeng Yeng Bike? Since the emergence of the Yeng Yeng Bike on Jamaican roads, it has been a great convenience for some, and a great annoyance for others. Jobs have been created thanks to them, while others use them for wrongdoing. Dancehall Artist Busy Signal shares his annoyances and gives a warning in the video for “Yeng Yeng“.

Shot in Kingston, we see Busy Signal having a not so great time with a few Yeng Yeng riders in the video. Paranoia hits while he’s driving among them, and he shares that it can be a pain to hear them. We also see the evils some of the riders do to common folk, and they share their spoils among each other in the end. Busy Signal delivers as usual on the track, and video helps to bring more Yeng Yeng Bikes to more screens, either making viewers heed to more warning, or fueling their interest in acquiring one. Remember Ninja Bikes?

Lady Ann "Informer" for 13thStreetPromotions.com #Jamaica #Dancehall #WomensHistoryMonth #Music #Deejay #Dancehall #LadyAnn #Caribbean #13thStreetPromotions

OLDIES SUNDAY: Lady Ann – Informer (1981)

Posted on by swadedavillain

In recognition of Women’s History Month, we take the time out to feature Women who have made great contributions to our music culture. While we celebrate the Women all year over here, we recognize some through our Oldies Sunday section. Today’s selection comes from foundation Dancehall Artist Lady Ann a.k.a. the 1st Lady of Dancehall with the track, “Informer“.

Produced by Joe Gibbs and released through the Crazy Joe Label in 1981, Lady Ann calls out the many informants in her community as she is developing a relationship with her lover. She shares that while she gets closer to her man, there are those who are jealous of her relationship, and seek to let her father know of her dealings so that he can put a stop to it. Lady Ann’s “Informer” became a hit in no time, propelling her to become the first female Dancehall Artist to score a number one single. “Informer” was featured on Lady Ann’s sophomore album of the same name, and she became the first female Dancehall Artist to score a #1 single and album. The success from “Informer” gave Lady Ann an opportunity to tour throughout the US and Canada, in 1983 when she was the first female Deejay to earn the award for “DJ Of The Year“. “Informer” is nowadays recognized as Lady Ann’s biggest hit. There have been many female Dancehall Artists who have done historic things in their careers, but Lady Ann is a member of the first female Deejays to pave the way.

Respect To Lady Ann, Thanks For The Classic!
