OLDIES SUNDAY: Chicken Hawk – Education (1989)


It’s back to school time, and from grade 1 to College level, we wish you all the best on the new term, and new year. Today on “Oldies Sunday“, we want to drive the message of getting your education even further with our throwback selection. We go back in time to check out Chicken Hawk’sEducation“.

Produced by Steely & Clevie on the “Fast Car Riddim” and released through Steely & Clevie Records in 1989, Chicken Hawk gave listeners a lesson with his “Education” single. It was really a lesson as he had a word for every letter, putting together a song that rode the riddim well, and displayed how lyrical a Deejay can be. When it comes to education, many Deejays encouraged us to read, write, and learn the golden rule, making us scholars in the classroom, and in Dancehall School. “Education” was a hit for Chicken Hawk, with many children knowing it word for word back in the day. The track was featured on Steely & Clevie’s “Fast Car Riddim” compilation, which was released in 1989.

Since the release of “Education”, Chicken Hawk went on to release more music over the years. In recent years, he has made appearances on Social Media where he would perform some of his song on livestreams and staged events. Many still remember his “Education” single, and reminisce on their school days.

Thank You Chicken Hawk For This Hit!

.@LilaIkeJA Gives Back To Christiana In Back To School Treat


It’s that time of year when the yutes are gearing up for their return to the classroom. Many have been prepared with essentials since the early part of Summer, but what about those who haven’t checked off anything off of their lists? Thanks to a number of organizations, celebrities/public figures, and businesspersons, parents have been breathing a sigh of relief through back to school events all over Jamaica. Recording Artist Lila Ike is one of those public figures who always gave back to her community of Christiana in Manchester, and this year was no different with the second staging of her “Back To School Treat” with her “Blessings And Light Foundation“.

Sponsored by a number of corporations including Clarks Shoes, Butterkist, Seprod, Megamart, Mother’s, and fellow Artists and businesspersons, Lila Ike ensured that the kids would go back to school with a few essentials at her Back To School Treat. Held at the Christiana Bus Park on Sunday Sept. 1, attendees were treated to rides, free food, supplies for those still affected by Hurricane Beryl, and school supplies. Lila made it her mission to give back to her community, and has never looked back. The day closed off in a major way thanks to a free concert that featured performances by Ike along with Protoje, Romain Virgo, Jah Lil, Jahshii, and a number of Artists from within the community. For those who missed out, we have a recap of the event, and for those who want to make donations to the “Blessings And Light Foundation”, Email blessingsandlightfoundation@gmail.com for more information.

Big up Destinee, DJuvii, MP Photography, and Ace Pxl who were a part of the Media coverage at the event, and big up Miss Cherry a.k.a. Mama Ike.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Prince Jazzbo – School (1972)


The Summer holidays are over, and it’s back to school time for the young ones, the not so young ones, and the young at heart. Class is in session on Oldies Sunday. Today’s selection comes from Prince Jazzbo (whose Birthday is on September 3) with the track, “School“.

Produced by Sir Coxsone Dodd on the “College Rock Riddim“, and released through the Bongo Man Label in 1972, Prince Jazzbo is getting everyone back into the mindset as it’s time to learn. He shares keys phrases like “Go to school and learn the golden rule“, “If you can spell, you will never go to hell“, and “If you read, you will succeed“, and he delivers with a vibe and the deejaying/toasting style that would have listeners dancing and rewinding. Jazzbo emphasizes the importance of an education, and you can never be too old to learn as well. “School” was a popular song for Prince Jazzbo, and an important one that some would play in late summer before the start of the new school year.

Since the release of “School”, Prince Jazzbo went on to release more singles that became hits, and important parts of the culture. Jazzbo left this Earth on September 11, 2013, and his music continues to connect with listeners around the world. People it’s time to buckle up, it’s time to learn.

Thank You Prince Jazzbo For This Classic. Sleep Well.
