Badda General Weighs In On The “King Of Dancehall” Topic In “The Debate”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Who is the King of Dancehall? Some say Bounty, some say Beenie, some say Kartel, some say Alka, some say Masicka. With plenty of names being thrown in the hat whenever conversations start, there is always division. Recently, the topic got hot when Vybz Kartel was given the title, but fellow Dancehall Artist Beenie Man opposed, and shared a few words about it. Dancehall Artist/Producer Badda General decided to step in, and discuss the new controversy in the single, “The Debate“.

Released through Real Squad Records, Badda General weighs in on the “King of Dancehall” topic in “The Debate”. While there are a number of names being called aside from Vybz Kartel, Badda shares that at the end of the day, no matter what awards, sales, and streams say, the streets make the overall decision on who qualifies for the Dancehall throne. He mentioned former GRAMMY winners Sean Paul, Shabba Ranks, Buju Banton, and Shaggy, who have made great contributions to uplifting the culture, but he also gave a short History lesson on past Artists who helped to shape Dancehall, and are a part of the G.O.A.T. list like U-Roy and Yellowman. There will be Kings, and everyone has their time, but the debates will never end. Who is YOUR King of Dancehall?

.@DiGenius1 Brings Dancehall Classics To Streaming With “The Recovered Files” Album

Posted on by swadedavillain

The 2000s in Dancehall Music was an era that can never be duplicated. There were local and International crossovers, the ascension of Deejays who went on to become legends, and lots of good vibes and energy. It was in the mid 2000s that the world warmed up to a young Producer by the name of Stephen McGregor. The son of the legendary Freddie McGregor was determined to carve his own path in music, and the determination won. When he got his start, there was no stopping him, and he made hits with everyone. From Mavado, to Vybz Kartel, to Laden, to Agent Sasco, to Nicky B, to his brother Chino McGregor, the world got familiar to the sounds of “Di Genius“. There’s a lot of history in that Big Ship Studio. The years that followed saw a shift in the music Industry as MP3s and CDs soon gave way to Digital Music Streaming, and a number of those Di Genius hits never crossed over. In 2024, after lots of work, Stephen has made it a reality with the release of “The Recovered Files” album.

Featuring 20 classic tracks, Di Genius restored some of our favourites from the 2000s on “The Recovered Files” compilation album. We get music from a Vybz Kartel who was in heading into a new level of prime, a young Aidonia who was venomous on a Riddim, Chino who found his pocket and cruised over his brother’s productions, the rise of the “Gully Gad” Mavado, a young firecracker that was Blak Ryno, and more. Fans will fall in love with the “Darker Shadow Riddim“, recite some Gaza Commandments, reflect on their allegiances to Gaza, Gully, and J.O.P., and enjoy the work of Di Genius over and over on their favourite streaming platform. We believe “The Recovered Files” will be the start of a series of restorations and releases in the coming months, and with Di Genius at the helm, we know it will be a celebration every time. What’s your favourite Riddim from Di Genius?

Grampa Entatain & Dr. Planks Remix A Vybz Kartel Hit In “Food Specialist”

Posted on by swadedavillain

We all love food, some more than others, but there’s nothing like a meal that’s yours to enjoy. Whatever your style and taste, food has been there more than people in some cases. Food is enjoyed on a different level according to Dancehall Entertainer Grampa Entatain, and he talks about it in, “Food Specialist“.

Featuring Dr. Planks, it’s all about the good food in Grampa Entatain’s “Food Specialist”. Grampa enjoys a variety of food while Planks leans more into the Ital way of life, but they know what’s important when it comes to putting in work in the Kitchen, and they and whoever they feed will be satisfied. For those unfamiliar, “Food Specialist” is a remix of Vybz Kartel and Beenie Man’s 2004 hit, “Breast Specialist“. The track was produced by Tony Matterhorn and Mario C on the “Scoobay Riddim“, and is given new life in 2024 thanks to Grampa Entatain. The track is accompanied by a Music Video directed by Clevamix Recordz, and it finds the Artists cheffing up a number of dishes, and feeding the household in the end. Grampa Entatain has been active with a number of original music and remixes over the years, and has been a hit whenever he’s called up to perform. This one is for the foodies. Speaking of foodies, get familiar with “Where’s The Food, Jo” for some recommendations.

.@KingBeenieMan Gets Them Dancing In “Simma” Visual

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s been a few weeks since Dancehall Icon Beenie Man released his latest album, “Simma“. The album has gotten its share of positive feedback from fans and peers alike, and it’s on the “For Your Consideration” campaign for a GRAMMY nomination. The singles are making their way to various platforms, and new content are being released including the music video for the title track.

The video finds Beenie Man entering a party where he’s greeted by a number of familiar faces, and he takes the dance floor with his Daughter Desha, and a number of dancers. The Roe Summerz-produced track finds Beenie reflecting on a career that he seen many high points, and he looks to conquer more. He has maintained a career in music for over 40 years, he is one of Dancehall’s kings, and deserves his flowers for his contributions. If you haven’t checked out the “Simma” album yet, I suggest you give it a few listens today. Salute the King.

.@KingBeenieMan Releases Long-Awaited “Simma” Album

Posted on by swadedavillain

Beenie Man is a King of Dancehall. Love him or hate him, he is the greatest Dancehall Entertainer, and he has plenty moments at stage shows, and attendees to vouch for that. With over 40 years in music, it’s still crazy that a former child star not named Michael Jackson has made his name transcend generations. In 2021, Beenie shared that he would release a new album. After a few delays, he has finally liberated “Simma“.

“Simma” features 20 tracks, and it finds Beenie Man still holding his own in Dancehall Music. Never one to stay boxed in, he tries out a few different styles for this album. Whether your taste is the traditional Dancehall/Reggae, or even the new wave of NY and UK Drill, Beenie has something for everyone. Production on “Simma” include the likes of Suku, Dutty Rock Productions, Walshy Fire, The FaNaTiX, Frankie Music, Tony Kelly, and Teddy Riley. Beenie shares the album with a number of friends including Giggs, Popcaan, PatoranKing, Busy Signal, Ms. Banks, Sean Paul, StoneBwoy, Mÿa, and more. Beenie Man promises that you will be thoroughly entertained by his new album, and you have to respect a man who has given most of his life to this music. Respect the King.
