.@TrvisXX Samples Shyne & Barrington Levy For “Jackboys 2” Album

Posted on by swadedavillain

Over the weekend, US Rapper Travis Scott released the new album, “Jackboys 2“. Done in collaboration with his “Cactus Jack” collective, the new album has been receiving a lot of attention on Social Media. One song in particular on the album, “Shyne“, has been met with a variety of comments.

“Shyne” features Memphis Rapper Glorilla, and is one of the closing tracks on the new “Jackboys 2” album. Since its release, it has drawn quite the attention online. The track sampled the 2000 single, “Bad Boyz” from US/Belize Rapper Shyne. Produced by Ez Elpee and sampled Grace Jones’ “Nightclubbin“, “Bad Boyz” features Reggae/Dancehall legend Barrington Levy (whose “Broader Than Broadway” was also sampled on the track), and showcases a great example of culture blending, and Caribbean vibes in one of the biggest melting pots of the world. Travis Scott’s track finds him not only sampling the production, but attempting to copy Barrington Levy’s signature “Shibbily dabbily” style that was performed on the original. Scott joins a number of Artists who sampled “Bad Boyz”, and they include Lady London, Sean Price, and Cassidy. We hope the business was handled right in regards of sampling this classic. “Jackboys 2” also features a collaboration with Vybz Kartel called “PBT“, and the album is out now on all streaming platforms.

When times are hard, sometimes you just have to go the extra mile to get what you want, even if it means going through life-threatening means. Jamaican Filmmaker Roger B Stillz has been producing some quality pieces of content for a number of years, and has built a following off of them, and was given opportunities to collaborate for some prominent names. For his latest release called, “The Local“, he shares a story of how making certain decisions may not always be the right one.

Starring Rome Walker, Dray Walker, and Josiya Niaah with narration by Reuben Hussey more popularly known as “Ganja Clauze“, Roger B Stillz’s “The Local” shares a story of 3 Men who carried out a mission each with a certain goal to accomplish, but the decisions they each made connect to an end goal that may not be what they desired. The Film shares a story that is common to many as life in Jamaica and other parts of the world can push an individual to make drastic decisions, but not all ending is a good one. B Stillz paints the picture for many to digest, and start conversations in various settings. In a story of revenge, vengeance, or survival, every action comes with a good or bad reaction. Tune in to this one.

Renae & Jermi Remix A Classic For Their Debut Single, “Mi Caan’t”

Posted on by swadedavillain

In the game of love, there will be days where the couple goes through things. No matter the level of the relationship, there will be an argument or few, but if the love is real, then it will work out. Legendary Producer Clive Hunt has produced his share of love songs over the years from some pretty legendary Artists, but now he wants to create a few legends himself. Enter Renae & Jermi, the new protégés of Hunt, and they step out in a major way. They make their debut with the single, “Mi Caan’t“.

Produced by Clive Hunt for his Iconic Azul Entertainment label, “Mi Caan’t” is a song that finds Renae & Jermi playing girlfriend and boyfriend in a clash of words. The song borrows from the 1980 hit “My Woman” by Barrington Levy, and gives it a modern sound and added perspective. Relationships are hard, and in the song, despite both parties sharing their frustrations with each other, they can’t do without each other. This is more evident in the Music Video directed by Terminal 4 Media, and features appearances by Clive Hunt, and former Dancehall/Reggae Singer Sasha who both assist in mending the troubled couple’s union. Renae & Jermi have the potential to be big names in Jamaican Music, and we look forward to seeing what’s next for them as a duo, and as Individuals. Big up the legendary Clive Hunt.

.@JanelleMonae Samples Derrick Harriott, Barrington Levy, Sister Nancy & More For “The Age Of Pleasure”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Earlier this year, US Recording Artist/Actress Janelle Monaé announced that she will be releasing her latest album, “The Age Of Pleasure“. Along with that came the single “Lipstick Lover“. While the racy visual showed another side of her, it contained the familiar sound of Dancehall Artist Mad Cobra’s 1992 hit, “Flex“. With the new album just released, a few more familiar sounds joined in.

On Janelle Monaé’s “The Age Of Pleasure” album, Jamaican Recording Artists Derrick Harriott, Barrington Levy, Sister Nancy, and Queen Patra all join Mad Cobra on a few tracks. On the 2nd track “Champagne S***“, Levy’s 1984 hit “Murderer” was sampled. The classic track also appears on the follow up track, “Black Sugar Beach“. “Murderer” was produced by Hyman Wright and Pat Chin, and released through the Grade One label. Sister Nancy’s 1982 hit “Bam Bam” was sampled on the track “Water Slide“. Patra’s “Whining Skill” from her 1993 debut album “Queen Of The Pack” was also sampled on the track. “Bam Bam” secures the title of the most sampled Jamaican song, and we have a Playlist and a few words about it here. Sister Nancy is also a featured Artist, appearing on the track, “French 75“. “Whining” was produced by Tony “CD” Kelly and Clifton “Specialist” Dillon. The legendary Grace Jones also appears on the album as a featured Artist, delivering on “Oooh La La“. Coming to the closing of the album, Derrick Harriott’s 1967 classic, “The Loser” was sampled on the track, “Only Have Eyes 42“. The track was released through Crystal Records, and produced by Harriott. Many have speculated that Monaé would have Jamaican influences on her new album, and what was brought forward did not disappoint.
