Posted on by swadedavillain

On February 17, 2021, the world lost a legend, the great Ewart “U-Roy” Beckford. A man who is the Daddy, the Father, the King, and the Originator of what you know as toasting/deejaying/rapping, he has left behind a great legacy for many others to follow and be inspired by. He may be gone physically, but we know he’s gearing up to nice up every session in the afterlife. Today, we pay tribute to his greatness with the “Sampling U-Roy” Playlist!

With artists like Dennis Brown, Def Jef, IDK, Dawn Penn, and Talib Kweli borrowing from the great Daddy U-Roy, you’re in for an enjoyable and informative listen. May we continue to honour our greats and give them their flowers while they’re still here. All hail the original King of Dancehall! Walk good U-Roy.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Don Campbell – See It In Your Eyes (1993)

Posted on by swadedavillain

All lovers get ready for this Oldies Sunday selection! In recognition of today being Valentine’s Day, we go back in time to check out UK Singer Don Campbell’s “See It In Your Eyes“!

Produced by Trevor T. with assistance from T. Phillips and Jazzwad and released through Juggling Records in 1993, Don Campbell is on a mission to retrieve a lost love after doing her wrong. Despite her rejections, he can see and feel that she still has a lot of love for him. With Valentine’s Day being a day for those who have strong love for each other, it can also be a day where the spark comes back in a relationship, or two hearts reconnect after being away from each other. Don Campbell’s “See It In Your Eyes” became a huge hit, and is listed as one of the greatest UK Lover’s Rock singles ever. The former member of the Undivided Roots Band struck gold when he made his first release as a solo artist as “See It In Your Eyes” quickly climbed the British Reggae Charts, and helped to gain him accolades at the 1994 British Reggae Industry Awards. The single was also featured on his successful 1994 debut album, “The Album” which was released through VP Records.

To all those celebrating Valentine’s Day, have a happy one. Check out our V-Day playlists, “Dancehall Love“, and “Dancehall Duets“! Check out the track below, and share with a friend. Show us some love/follow us on Twitter and Instagram at @13thStreetPromo.

JKinggz Invites You To A “Badman Party”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recording Artist/Entrepreneur JKinggz is one of the many artists who stays on the grind, even during a pandemic. With live shows on the decline since 2020, JKinggz knows he still has to make his brand stay afloat in other ways. The Recording Studio is still open for business however, and JKinggz has been piling up new music for release throughout 2021. One of the tracks he looks to cause a shift on the scene with is his new “Badman Party” single!

Produced by Ransum Records and Russian Mvmnts on the “Night Light Riddim”, JKinggz gets into some Dancehall vibes as he’s on the hunt for the right event to attend. Grabbing his phone, he hits up one of his friends to see what the vibe is like, how many ladies are in attendance, if the bar is well stocked, and is it safe for his crew to make an appearance. While JKinggz utilizes a chill delivery, the track will bring back memories of late night party hopping for some as they are the ones who’ll ensure that the event they are attending is not a waste of time and effort. Despite lockdowns of all sorts worldwide, JKinggz looks forward to the feedback from “Badman Party” and it becoming a playlist favorite, and kick off a higher level of vibes when listeners press play. With a renewed focus for 2021, JKinggz looks to keep the streaming platforms busy with more music in the coming months.

Born in St. Vincent and The Grenadines and moved to Brooklyn, New York as a teen, JKinggz is known for tracks like “Patek”, “Stack This Money” with Dancehall artist Flexxx, and “Fake Love” with UK artist Laughta. He has also released the well received “30 Days (The Life Changing Project)” in 2018, “No Co-sign” in 2019 which received rave reviews, and started off 2021 with the “Guilty” EP.

“Badman Party” by JKinggz will be released on Friday February 12 on all digital music streaming platforms through his JKM Entertainment LLC label. Follow @JKinggz on Instagram, and @JKinggz_ on Twitter for more updates.
