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!

Everton Blender’s “Ghetto People Song” Sampled On @FrenchMontana’s “Montega” Album!

Posted on by swadedavillain

On Friday June 24, New York Rapper French Montana released his new album, “Montega“. The 12 track project would further solidify French’s place in Hip Hop, and he brought along new hits and collaborations. While fans would be excited about the new project, a familiar sound was heard on “Higher“, the 6th track on the album.

On the opening of “Higher”, Everton Blender’s 1994 single, “Ghetto People Song” would receive the sample treatment. Produced by Tony Rebel on the “Lala Bella Riddim“, “Ghetto People Song” would become a massive hit for Everton Blender, earning the classic status over the years. “Ghetto People Song” was featured on Blender’s 1999 album, “Rootsman Credential“, and was previously sampled by Rapper Canibus in 2018 for a track of the same name. “Higher” was produced by Harry Fraud, along with the rest of the “Montega” album.

This would not be the first time French Montana dabbled in Jamaican music. Chaka Demus and Pliers’ “Murder She Wrote” would be sampled on the Nicki Minaj featured single, “Freaks” (Lil Vicious’ Dancehall track of the same name would be sampled as well), Dancehall Artist Mavado would collaborate with French on two tracks (“F**k What Happens Tonight” and “Ghetto Prayer“), Alkaline’s “Formula” single would get remixed for the “Jungle Rules” album in 2017, French worked with Dancehall Producers Rvssian and Stephen “Di Genius” McGregor, and most recently would hop of the remix of Skillibeng’s “Whap Whap” with Fivio Foreign.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Love it or hate it, Skillibeng’s “Whap Whap” is a hit. Previewed in 2021 via Instagram, it received plenty backlash from the public, with many doubting Skillibeng’s lyrical and songwriting abilities. Nonetheless, “Whap Whap” was officially released, and the public ran with it. Despite the negativity, Skillibeng enjoy local and International love, and the song was remixed by a few Artists including NBA YoungBoy, Digga D, and Ron Suno. Rappers French Montana and Fivio Foreign were the latest to jump on the track, and it has now been officially remixed by them. Today, we get the music video for “Whap Whap (Remix)“.

Directed by Shomi Patwary and shot in The Bronx, New York, Skilli, French, and Fivio all show up to perform the track. The remix single was released last week, and was receiving positive reviews due to French and Fivio’s contributions. “Whap Whap” has shown that Skillibeng’s US presence is getting better, and with a few events lined up for him this summer, expect a lot more people adding Skilli to their Playlists and budgets. Big up Media Personality The Kid Mero of The Bodega Boys Podcast and Desus & Mero on Showtime as he made a cameo appearance in the video. We hope he and Desus Nice return to the Podcast scene soon.

.@PopDollarz Borrows @Ini_Kamoze’s “Hot Stepper” For A “Lyrical Anthem”!

Posted on by swadedavillain

That’s how we dweet man! It’s no surprise that Dancehall/Reggae music enjoyed great crossover success in the US market in the 90s. From acts like Shabba Ranks, Super Cat, and Bounty Killa, to dance moves like “Pepperseed”, “Bogle”, and “Butterfly”, Jamaica’s music culture went places. Looking to the 90s for his latest track, Bronx Rapper Pop Dollarz drops “Lyrical Anthem“! Borrowing Ini Kamoze’s smash hit, “Here Comes The Hot Stepper“, Dollarz goes in a lil over the Salaam Remi production while allowing the OG track to breathe throughout. A nice shout out to the 90s Dancehall, and many places that bumped the music back then. Remember when “Hot Stepper” got featured in a JC Penny Commercial? Still love you like that…
