Sizzla Kalonji Takes Centerstage At Historic Reggae Month 2022 Concert!

Posted on by swadedavillain

There are many Reggae Artists, but there is ONE Sizzla Kalonji. With a career spanning nearly 30 years, Sizzla has been one of the biggest contributors to Jamaica’s music culture, providing new sounds, a different energy, and of course timeless hits. His career is nothing short of amazing, but his next move proved to be historical. Last night (February 26), Sizzla took centerstage with his “Rise To The Occasion” concert during Reggae Month 2022!

Backed by a 35 piece Reggae Orchestra which was conducted by the iconic Ibo Cooper and arranged by famed Composer Jon Williams, the legendary Dean Fraser and his All-Star Band, and joined by the L’Acadco Dance Force, we were tuned in to Sizzla giving us the many reasons why he is one of Jamaica’s music legends. Hit after hit, the music flowed beautifully, and Sizzla was in top form. With Sizzla being the first Reggae/Dancehall Artist to perform with a 35 piece Orchestra, this will definitely pave the way for more Artists to expand their Artistry and creativity. Let this Concert be one that we will remember forever. In case you missed it, we got you!

Kris-Karz "Weirdity" for 13thStreetPromotions.com #Jamaica #Florida #Music #Caribbean #KrisKarz #Creative

.@Kris_Karz Continues His Run With New Single, “Weirdity”!

Posted on by swadedavillain

In every Creative’s life, there comes a time where you get things done right, and there are times when it all comes crashing down. Regardless of the outcome, you still have to keep it pushing. When Producer Kris-Karz made the transition into a Recording Artist, he knew his journey would not be a smooth one, but he was still determined to move forward. He shares a lil on it on his new single, “Weirdity“.

“Weirdity” came at a time when Kris-Karz was considering quitting music altogether. There can be times where the creativity is not flowing, and it feels like it doesn’t make sense pursuing your craft. Kris shares some of his thoughts and experiences on the track, and it serves as the track that pushed him out of the negative space, and into the greatness that he thought was no longer existent. Let this be a testament that good things really do happen. Kris’ production on “Weirdity” is one of his best, and his distorted approach is going to hit you in a good way. We believe “Weirdity” will be making its way to plenty speakers around the world, and connecting with many other Creatives. Don’t let the obstacles gets you down, hold the faith and keep on pushing! Expect a lot more Kris-Karz content this year.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Larry & Alvin – Nanny Goat (1968)

Posted on by swadedavillain

February is recognized in various parts of the world as “Reggae Month“. For today’s Oldies Sunday selection, we’re gonna take you on a trip back in time, to highlight a song that is very important to the Culture. While there are many Artists, Producers, and songs that have claims to being a pioneer of the genre called Reggae, we’d like to highlight one of them. Today’s selection comes from Larry Marshall and Alvin Perkins a.k.a. Larry & Alvin called, “Nanny Goat“.

Produced by Sir Clement “Coxsone” Dodd, the track was released through the Studio One Label in 1968. The track was inspired by the Jamaican proverb, “What sweet Nanny Goat a go run him belly“, and finds Vocalists Larry & Alvin singing about a love that is still desired, even though that person has gone on and found someone new. “Nanny Goat” is a very important song in Jamaican music as it has been mentioned by many to be the first true Reggae song.

The song became a hit for Larry & Alvin, and almost never happened. While Larry Marshall wrote the lyrics and presented them to Coxsone Dodd, it was suggested that a singer like Jacob Miller would’ve been more suitable to sing them. Not taking the suggestion, Larry went on to record the track. “Nanny Goat” was sampled over the years by various Producers and Artists, including Tony Rebel and Marcia Griffiths for their singles, “Chatty Chatty” and “Closer To You” respectively. Since the release of “Nanny Goat”, Larry & Alvin went on to record more songs together. Larry enjoyed a solo career with a few hits, and passed away in 2017.
