J’Calm Pursues Love In Visual For “Tempted” Single

Posted on by swadedavillain

With all that has been happening in the week, we’ll take it down a notch a lil with this new release. An Artist who has been putting in the work for a while, Recording Artist/Producer J’Calm is steadily gaining a footing in the music scene. He recently stepped out with the Summer single, “Tempted“, and is now following it up with the official Music Video.

Shot in Kingston, Jamaica, we see a story unfold in “Tempted” where J’Calm pursues a love interest. The video finds him reaching out to her at the famous Artwalk in Downtown Kingston, and after a few conversations, they meet up at a house party where they got to know each other better. Simple but clean visual, and listeners can enjoy “Tempted” in more ways than one. The 5K Records/Sony Music Ent. UK release has been gaining traction over the past few days thanks to TikTok, it even caught the attention of former US President Barack Obama who added it to his official Summer Playlist (The Playlist also featured Toots And The Maytals, who have been regulars on there). J’Calm may become a bigger name in the coming months, so be on the lookout for more releases. She pretty like a night in Memphis.

Posted on by swadedavillain

International Poppy is at it again! Fresh off the release of his highly anticipated “Fixtape“, Popcaan continues to cross seas and plant the Jamaican and Unruly flags in various territories. Finding himself in the pop scene this time around, he connects with Singer Jorja Smith on, “Come Over“.

Produced by Dre Skull, Pasque, MadisonLST, and Cadenza, we get a Dancehall flavoured/sampled track that finds Jorja wanting to “fix tings” with her love interest, while Poppy smoothly steps in the fire off some slick lyrics. Accompanying the single, is a Future Power Station animated visual which was directed by Amber Grace Johnson. A not too fast, not too slow release here, definitely something to slow wine with that special person with. With the pandemic causing a lot of distance between many, may the Zoom and Facetime calls find this song a worthy part of the soundtrack.

OLDIES SUNDAY: @MichieBadGalMee x L.A. Luv – Jamaican Funk (1990)

Posted on by swadedavillain

For today’s “Oldies Sunday“, we’re going give it you Hip Hop style. For those unfamiliar, Hip Hop’s roots traces back to Jamaica. While many have done tremendous things for the genre and its culture, we have to remember the pioneers. Jamaica has DJ Kool Herc, and also Michie Mee, a Canadian Hip Hop pioneer. Today, we feature Michie Mee’s single, “Jamaican Funk“.

Produced by King Of Chill and released through First Priority Music in 1990, “Jamaican Funk” was a collaboration between Michie Mee and DJ L.A. Luv, and was a single that helped to spawn the growth of the Canadian Hip Hop movement. It was also one of the first singles that blended Hip Hop and Dancehall as Michie deejayed and rapped throughout the track. The single did very well for Michie Mee, and was given a remix called, “Jamaican Funk Canadian Style“. Both versions were featured on Michie Mee & L.A. Luv’s album, “Jamaican Funk-Canadian Style“, which was a success for the duo as the album crossed borders, charted on American charts, and was nominated for a Juno award. Since “Jamaican Funk”, Michie Mee went on to make more moves as an artist including founding the band, Raggadeath, influencing the new generation of artists, and kicking down the door for many of your favourites. She also dabbled in acting with roles in the film “In Too Deep“, and appearing in TV shows like “Soul Food” and “Da Kink In My Hair“. She is the Queen of Canadian Hip Hop, and a yaad she come from!
