Yaksta Declares “The Microphone Saved Me” With New Album

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recording Artist Yaksta is a living example of perseverance. Having started his career from humble beginnings in the 2010s, he has been making every year better than the previous one. The late 2010s/early 2020s gave him a number of high profile moments, and he has not slowed down. The past few months found him in some controversy, but he always had the music to focus on. With a new album ready for the world, he’s defending creativity, and ensuring that his lane fosters more success. He steps out with, “The Microphone Saved Me“.

Featuring 11 tracks on the digital version while physical copies boast 12-15 tracks on his official website, Yaksta is unapologetically himself with the album, “The Microphone Saved Me”. The title is a testament as life could have been very different had he not chosen to put his lyrics over production. His lyrics are raw and direct as they dabble into topics from relationships, to everyday life, to his societal observsations, and if you have heard the previously-released album cuts, he doesn’t hold back. Production on “TMSM” includes the likes of Track Starr, Princeton Brown, Kingsway Music Group, David Luckain, Kabaka Pyramid, and Troyton Rami, while Silk Boss, Lone Don, and Dre Tegs make up for guest features. The work never stopped for Yaksta, he just focused on becoming better. Thankful for that Microphone.

Nelly Cottoy Needs Her “Licka”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Kicking old habits are not the easiest of things to do, sometimes the willpower is not strong enough. Those familiar sensations will have a hold on you, and you’ll be caught up in that rapture. Even the “Queen Of Zess” Nelly Cottoy is trying to kick some habits, but in the late night, she is in need of her “Licka“.

Produced by Bing Bang Studioz/Studio Impact on the “Rose Riddim“, Nelly Cottoy folds under pressure all for the love of “Licka”. When you’re trying to go cold turkey and swear off things, sometimes it takes bad timing to get caught up all over again. This Woman however, misses her “liqs” and “licks“. With a flashy music video co-directed with MarDonn, Nelly thought life was getting better, but it was only a matter of time before she was called back in, and reunite with her supplier. Nelly Cottoy is pretty busy this time of year, and with a Caribbean Music Awards nomination on deck along with live show dates, expect to hear even more from her this summer.

Tower Band Steps Out With The “Dancehall Future” Mixtape

Posted on by swadedavillain

For every Artist, there is a Band. The Backing Band makes a great musical experience when it comes to the live show. Having been a part of the support team for many Artists over the years, the Tower Band have paid their dues, and have done plenty to elevate their game. Consisting of Kryss Ras, Corey Coombs, and Prof, the Band officially ventured into becoming Recording Artists little over 3 years ago. With a number of singles to their name, the Band believes it’s time to take the next step. Recently, they premiered their debut Mixtape, “Dancehall Future“.

Mixed/hosted by ZJ West, the Tower Band is ready to dominate with their “Dancehall Future Mixtape“. Consisting of 16 tracks, listeners will get familiar with the Band’s growing catalogue, and witness even more of what Jamaican music has to offer. From party songs, to girl tunes, to motivational music, Tower Band hopes this project puts them on the necessary heights, and show the world their range of talents. As a part of the mixtape’s promotion, the Band is currently on an Islandwide tour, with a couple spots already embracing the sound they have provided. Jamaica is filled with talented folk, and the Tower Band continues to put their talent to work as a part of the new generation, even when they’re supporting other acts.

Nigy Boy & @WhoIsKaylan Bring Smooth Sounds In “We Belong Together”

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s a new week, and you can start it with love. What better way to usher in the love than to release new music? Nigy Boy is here to make even more happen this year, and is working on taking over the summer. He’s in a loving mood, and he released the new single, “We Belong Together“.

Produced by Silly Walks Disco on the “Double Trouble Riddim” and featuring US-based Recording Artist Kaylan Arnold, Nigy Boy is all about that love that is as important as air and water in, “We Belong Together”. The Singers are great with words, but when it comes to that special person, they get tongue-tied, and are overwhelmed with the love that is present. The easy-going track finds the duo at some of their best, and for the couples building and maintaining their love, this track is the right choice. They come together for a fun visual directed by Mirko Polo, and we look forward to them performing this live in the future. Silly Walks knocked it out the park with this one.

The album isn’t without its guest features, and he shares his stage with Damian and Stephen Marley, Eesah, and Mista Savona. Capleton said it before that he “caan cool“, and he now elevates his career to new heights. Celebrate the continued reign of fire.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Sasha & Turbulence – We Got The Love (2005)

Posted on by swadedavillain

June is coming to a close, but we had one more song for those who have a Wedding Playlist in mind. Love is all “Oldies Sunday” brings, and we can say with confidence that Jamaican Artists make some great love songs. Today, we go back in time to check out Sasha and Turbulence’s “We Got The Love“.

Produced by Mikey Bennett on the “My Friends Riddim” and released in 2005 through VP Records, Sasha and Turbulence not only promoted that authentic love, but celebrated their own love story in, “We Got The Love” (also known as “We Have Got Love“). Both Artists were an item at the time, and have released a number of singles together. “We Got The Love” helped to propel their respective brands, and it became a hit. The single would go on to be included in Sasha’s debut album “Sexy Body Sasha“, but the album was later shelved.

Since the release of “We Got The Love”, Sasha and Turbulence would go on to build their respective careers. Their relationship would fall apart soon after the single’s release, but they remained friends up to this day, even appearing together in music videos. While Turbulence would have a steady growth in Reggae, Sasha would go on to become a Gospel Artist using the name “Sista Sasha“. “We Got The Love” remains a favourite for many, and may be a part of some Wedding Playlists soon.

Thank You Sasha & Turbulence For This Hit!
