We Check Out Songs That Sampled The Late Cocoa Tea In Our Latest Playlist

Posted on by swadedavillain

On March 11, Jamaican music lost another legend. Renowned Recording Artist Cocoa Tea passed away, leaving many in mourning. The Man from Rocky Point, Clarendon was the Ingredient to many classic Reggae and Dancehall hits, one of the names to call for a Dubplate at a Sound Clash, and he leaves behind a legacy that many will appreciate for generations to come. With many taking the time out to spin many of his hits, we’ve decided to pay tribute to him in another way over here. Today, we present, the “Sampling Cocoa Tea” Playlist.

Cocoa Tea may not have had many of his songs sampled over the years, but there have been a number of Artists and DJs who have shown their appreciation for his music. This Playlist’s runtime is for a little over 2 hours, but you can tune in to music from the late Icon, along with Artists like JPEGMafia, Joss Stone, Arrested Development, Troy Ave, 2Pac, Pendulum, and Pete Rock who have used his works in their creations. For this Article, we’re also including a few of our favourite Cocoa Tea tracks, and if you have a favourite song from him, be sure to share with us in the comments section, or on our Social Media platforms. Sleep well Cocoa Tea!

Jamaica, Nuwarhol, Art, Artist, Davina Bennett, Miss Universe, Miss Jamaica, Miss Universe 2017, @Davina_Bennett, Queen, Beauty Queen, Afro Queen, Blog, 13thStreetPromotions, 13thStreetPromo, Thank You Davina Bennett,

Thank you for representing Jamaica. Thank you for being a Caribbean representative. You made moves that some would’ve said were unattainable. You’ve embraced your own beauty, and the world loved you. You stand tall with many Beauty Queens before you that have donned the “Jamaica” sash, and you’ve brought our culture to another big platform. You have carried yourself well.

As you continue your journey, remember you’re doing this for the little girl who was teased because her hair was “nappy”, the young woman who was refused opportunities because she was “too dark”, for those who were told “Jamaicans can’t do anything good”, let them see you shine on the world stage and show them that they can do anything that their heart wishes.

Always remember to be true to who you are. Don’t ever be afraid of showing the world that you don’t have to be from a big city, having the big name, be of a lighter complexion, having the straightest of hair to achieve greatness. We are proud to have had Queens with their unique flair over the years, so now you show people that the afro is YOUR Crown!

From Steve Harvey trying to hold his excitement when conversing with you, to your outfits capturing the attention of many, to the chants of “JAMAICA” in the audience, to your name being on all the headlines…

YOU ARE THE PEOPLE’S QUEEN!

Thank You, Davina Bennett.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Emerging act G Medz is thrilled with the positive feedback that he has been getting for his latest single, “Who Feels It Knows”. Produced under his own Record Label, Fruitful Records, the song is a reflective piece that can be appreciated by everyone. The Artiste who hails from Frankfield, Clarendon is hoping that this song will be the one to propel his career to the next point and give him the much deserved recognition in the music business.

“The song is an excellent crafted one, the beats are very good and the lyrics are clean and wholesome. I took my time to work on this song, because I want it to be a hit.” Expressed G Medz. “Who Feels it Knows” was officially released the first of this month and is available for purchase on all digital platforms. Plans are already on the way for an accompanying video, which will be shot in various locations in the parish of Clarendon.

Challenges in the business

G Medz admits that one of the greatest challenges that he has faced in the business since embarking on his journey is the difficulty in getting to work with some known Producers. “I am still young in the game, but I am very talented. One of the biggest things for me is to work with some of the top Producers in the business and I am hoping that this song will open up this door for me.” Said G Medz. It is safe to say that G Medz is out to make a name for himself. He is currently working with Susan Smith of Powerhouse Global Media to aid him on his journey to success.

PRESS RELEASE: @EladGideon’s New Militant Sound

Posted on by swadedavillain

Elad Gideon

Recording artiste Elad Gideon showcases his raw and militant style with the release of his new single ‘Wile Life’. The song produced by himself, Douglas Flannigan and Farel Richie was released on SoundCloud recently. The highly anticipated single, is a tribute to resilient Jamaicans who have found themselves affected by the harsh realities of the society. Elad explained, “The people in our society have become almost beast like in order to survive their everyday struggles”.

Elad grew up in the town of May Pen, Clarendon. His stage name begins with his first name ‘Dale’ being reversed to spell ‘Elad’ and then coupled with the Hebrew word Gideon that means ‘Mighty Warrior’. His name highlights his calculated, militant, rebellious and nonconformist personality that he fervently portrays through his music. Elad’s music is packaged and presented on a live music platform and is an unorthodox fusion between reggae, dancehall, hip hop, and some alternative rock/RnB influences. Elad added, “My music is limitless. It is not restricted to any one genre but is rather a mixture of all the genres of music that I love. My music also speaks to those relatable topics, thoughts and ideas that are rarely highlighted in Jamaican music.”

The ‘Wile Life’ artiste has also produced singles such as ‘Just Life’ and ‘The Worst’, both of which are now available on his SoundCloud profile, www.soundcloud.com/eladgideon. Elad is set to start his promotional trail for ‘Wile Life’ and is eager to premiere its video. The video will be shot and released this summer.
