OLDIES SUNDAY: Alozade – Jamaica (2002)

Posted on by swadedavillain

In a few days, Jamaica will celebrate its 62nd year of Independence. We’re just celebrating a lil early on “Oldies Sunday“. Today’s selection comes from Dancehall Artist/Producer Alozade with the track, “Jamaica“.

Produced by Cordel “Skatta” Burrell on the “Martial Arts Riddim” and released through the Kings Of Kings label in 2002, Alozade delivered his “Jamaica” track for the patriots. The track finds him highlighting some of the many things that are unique to the Island, being a proud “Yard Man” who will never trade in his citizenship, and encourages listeners to be proud of where they’re from. The “Martial Arts Riddim” gained some popularity in the 2000s, and “Jamaica” was one of the tracks that gained some attention for the Deejay. The track was also played by many during Jamaica’s Independence Day celebrations in parts of the world.

Since the release of “Jamaica”, Alozade has maintained a Music career that found him doing a lot more production, but keeping the Studio busy with single releases. “Jamaica” is still remembered and played around the world.

OLDIES SUNDAY: @Aventura – Obsesión (2002)

Posted on by swadedavillain

The Month of June is recognized as “Caribbean American Heritage Month“, and on “Oldies Sunday“, we want to highlight a few Artists who are a part of this. Today’s selection comes from the Dominican-American Bachata band Aventura with the single, “Obsesión“.

Produced by Franklin Romero and released through Premium Latin Music in 2002, “Obsesión” was Aventura’s lead single off of their 2nd official album, “We Broke The Rules“. The track is about a Man who likes a Woman, but it is not of love, and it has gone to the point of obsession. The smooth production compliments the vocals provided by the duo of Lead Vocalist Romeo Santos, and Singer Judy Santos, and was sung in Spanish. “Obsesión” became a hit for Aventura, topping charts in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland, and selling Gold in Austria, Platinum in Belgium, Germany, and Italy, and Diamond in France. The track helped to break barriers, modernizing the Bachata sound. An English version of “Obsesión” was featured on “We Broke The Rules” along with an EP featuring various remixes followed in 2002. A Radio remix was released in 2004. It was also covered by the likes of Frankie J, 3rd Wish, and Tropical Family.

Since the release of “Obsesión”, Aventura (consisting of Romeo, Henry, Max, and Lenny Santos) went on to become the “Kings of Modern Bachata“, and becoming the first major Bachata band to have originated in the US (The Bronx, New York). Lead Vocalist Romeo Santos went on to have a very successful Music career, and has reunited and performed with the band a number of times over the years. The band has also released more albums and singles over the years, and they’re currently promoting their latest single, “Brindo Con Agua“, which was released in April 2024. They are recognized during “Caribbean American Heritage Month” for their Dominican (and Puerto Rican via Romeo’s Mother) background. “Obsesión” is still played and loved to this day.

Thank You Aventura For This Hit!

Posted on by swadedavillain

True true true, wooooo. For today’s Oldies Sunday, we highlight a Jamaican Artist who was recently awarded the Order of Distinction at the National Heroes’ Day ceremony on Heroes Day (October 16). His name is Wayne Mitchell, but we know him as Wayne Marshall, and we feature his single, “Overcome“.

Produced by Lenky Marsden on the “Diwali Riddim” and released through 40/40 Productions in 2002, Wayne Marshall provided words of encouragement on “Overcome”. The Singjay highlights the hardships many experience daily, and with the right guidance, they can move past them all for a better life. Marshall provided his signature delivery throughout, complimenting the production perfectly, which resulting into a hit for him. Add to the popularity of the “Diwali Riddim”, “Overcome” was played everywhere, and gave Marshall more looks in various parts of the world. “Overcome” was featured on the debut album “Marshall Law“, which was released in 2003.

Since the release of “Overcome”, Wayne Marshall continued to enjoy a music career filled with a number of high points. Aside from the music, he enjoys life as a family man with Wife, former Recording Artist Tami Chin-Mitchell, became a successful Youtuber, was recently recruited by CVM TV for a talk show series, became a household name outside of music, and given one of Jamaica’s highest honours. Regardless of his path now, many remember his signature “True true true“, and his hit single “Overcome”.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Closing off the month of July on Oldies Sunday, and we’re celebrating Summer! For today’s selection, we go back to a time before Social Media, when “Peanut” cellphones were the rage, and the Riddims became instant hits. We go back to the early 2000s with Danny English and Egg Nogg’s “Party Time“.

Produced by “Lenky” Marsden on the “Diwali Riddim” and released through the 40/40 Label in 2002, “Party Time” was about having a good time with good people. Danny English’s raspy delivery paired with Egg Nogg’s melodic flow paired well together, and over the classic instrumental, the song quickly became a hit locally and Internationally. The “Diwali Riddim” already had hits from other Artists, and this track was just icing on the cake.

Since the release of “Party Time”, Danny English and Egg Nogg continued to secure their presence in Dancehall with more music releases. Though they didn’t repeat the success of their hit, they remained active over the years. “Party Time” is a classic, and continues to cause a scene everywhere it’s played.

.@DuttyPaul’s “Get Busy” Featured In @NetflixFilm, “Along For The Ride”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Have you been watching any good movies lately? Here’s something that appeared on our radar recently. Netflix recently released the film, “Along For The Ride“. Starring Emma Pasarow, Belmont Cameli, and Andie McDowell, this is a Romance/Drama film that finds two Teenagers meeting up nightly to help one experience the fun, carefree teen life before heading off to College. The main reason for this post however, is the fact that a Dancehall classic was featured in the film!

During a few minutes into the film, Sean Paul’s 2002 GRAMMY nominated classic, “Get Busy” was featured. Produced by Steven “Lenky” Marsden on the “Diwali Riddim” (you can find a Playlist dedicated to this Riddim here.), Sean Paul’s “Get Busy” was the summer Dancehall anthem around the world, and was featured on his GRAMMY winning seanmultiplatinum album, “Dutty Rock“. Sean Paul has had some of his music featured in films before, and we highlighted the inclusion of his Sia collaboration “Cheap Thrills” last year in the “Black Widow” film. The “Along For The Ride” film is available for viewing now on Netflix.
