Posted on by swadedavillain

Recently, video streaming platform Netflix released the new series, “Starting 5“. The series follows the lives of 5 NBA superstars, namely Lebron James, Anthony Edwards, Jimmy Butler, Jayson Tatum, and Domantas Sabonis, during the 2023-2024 NBA season. The series features a number of popular songs, but a very familiar one that originated in Jamaica made an appearance.

During episode 5 of “Starting 5”, named “The Struggle Is Real“, “Just One Of Those Days” a.k.a. “Dry Cry” by Sizzla Kalonji was played. The song was released in 2002, and was produced by “Bobby Digital” Dixon. It has been sampled a number of times over the years, and remains of his biggest crossover hits. The song was played during a segment about the Boston Celtics, and its star player Jayson Tatum. “Starting 5” became one of Netflix’s most anticipated shows in recent months, and has secured viewership in the Millions. “Starting 5” is still playing on Netflix.

Posted on by swadedavillain

UK Hip Hop duo Young T & Bugsey are ready for the next stage of their careers where they conquer more territories, and connect with new listeners. They enjoyed viral and platinum success in the early 2020s with the single, “Don’t Rush” and platinum success with “Strike A Pose” and “Ay Caramba“. They seek to take the Summer by storm, and they take to the Islands with “Rio Grande“.

With a Director Kay-directed Music Video, Young T & Bugsey take a trip to Jamaica for some good vibes in “Rio Grande”. Living it up as Tourists, they enjoy the Sun, the sea, the atmosphere, and the herb as they find themselves in various locations. “Rio Grande” was produced by Young T, and it samples Sizzla Kalonji’s “Solid As A Rock” single. The track was produced by Bobby “Digital” Dixon a.k.a. “Digital B”, and was featured on the 2002 album, “Da Real Thing“. “Solid As A Rock” was previously sampled by Jay-Z, Ja Rule, Papoose, 50 Cent, and The Jacka. Young T & Bugsey are currently campaigning “Rio Grande”, and we can expect even more from them later this year. Time for some vibes.

.@JadaKingdom Samples A Sizzla Classic For “Those Days”

Posted on by swadedavillain

January is a month for new music, and a few highly-anticipated ones have been given the green light. Last year, Dancehall Artist Jada Kingdom previewed a single called, “Those Days“. The opening vocals instantly took listeners back in time as Reggae/Dancehall Icon Sizzla Kalonji’s 2002 classic “Just One Of Those Days” was the featured sample, drumming up a lot of requests for its release. The wait is over as Jada finally unleashed the tune.

Produced by Stephen “Di Genius” McGregor and released through Money Well Spent, Jada Kingdom shares some of her down times on “Those Days”. She asserts her value, emphasizing her need to take care of herself and people who matter the most to her. Her days may not always be the best, she holds the faith, keeps an eye on fleeting people in her life, and move forward as stress free as possible. The sampled “Just One Of Those Days” by Sizzla was produced by the late “Bobby Digital” Dixon, and is one of Kalonji’s biggest hits to date having successfully crossed over on the International market in the early 2000s. We believe there’s a remixed version of “Those Days” featuring fresh vocals from Sizzla, but we’ll have to wait and see if that will materialize. Jada Kingdom has hinted that she’s working on an album and more music with “Di Genius”, we just have to stay tuned to see what’s next. Just one of those days…

OLDIES SUNDAY: Thriller U – Sweetest Sound (1989)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today, we celebrate one of Jamaica’s respected Vocalists, Thriller U. Today (August 14) he celebrates his birthday, and for our Oldies Sunday selection, we highlight one of his earliest singles, “Sweetest Sound“.

Produced by “Bobby Digital” Dixon on the “Peanie Peanie Riddim” and released through Digital-B Records in 1989, Thriller U, a then Teen sensation, gives us a song that all the DJs loved. With his smooth vocals, Thriller U borrows from Anita Wards’ 1979 Disco hit, “Ring My Bell” for the chorus of a song that goes into attack mode for any “Soundbwoy” who wants to test a Champion Sound. Whether they ensure that the vibes is right at a party or secure victory at any Sound Clash, Thriller U sings for the sound that runs the place. “Sweetest Sound” was included in the compilation album “Two Good To Be True” featuring Admiral Tibet, that was released in 1989 through Digital-B Records.

Since the release of “Sweetest Sound”, Thriller U went on to enjoy a successful solo career, and became a member of the super group L.U.S.T. with Singing Melody, Lukie D, and Tony Curtis. Thriller U is still active with a plethora of singles out, and he still gives his all with every performance. Big up Thriller on his birthday!

Thank You Thriller U For This Classic!

OLDIES SUNDAY: Dirtsman – Hot This Year (1991)

Posted on by swadedavillain

With 2020 coming to a close, we can truly say that this was a crazy year. While we don’t know what the future holds, we just have to move forward with a positive mindset. With that in mind, today’s final Oldies Sunday selection for 2020 comes from the late Deejay, Dirtsman with his 1991 hit, “Hot This Year“.

Produced by the late Bobby Digital for Digital B Records on the Drum Song/Hot This Year Riddim (there is another version that’s produced by Phillip Smart that shares similar production), Dirtsman exudes confidence on this one as he realizes his growing popularity, and his prowess as an artist. From annihilating his opponents in lyrical showdowns to being ready with the lyrics, Dirtsman was on the verge of being even greater. Sadly, he passed away on December 21, 1993 at the age of 27. “Hot This Year” was featured on the late Deejay’s album, “Acid“. While “Hot This Year” is one of his biggest songs, we dedicate it to those who see 2021 as year for growth, positive changes, building back broken bonds, and a lot more success. Keep your head up!
