NEW MUSIC: @theTherapistSOL – Nayme (Ready Or Not: NSFW)

Posted on by swadedavillain

My name is my name. Today’s new music comes from Sons Of Liberty gunner The Therapist. Titled “Nayme“, we hear Therapist taking over The Fugees’ classic “Ready or Not” beat and dropping crazy lyrics about why his team is the one to look out for and making sure you know his name and the name of his gang. Nice mix of singing and rapping and not using the generic flow and song structure whenever “Ready or Not” is used. You better remember the name. Check out the song below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

Mixtape Movements: @LornavBennett – This Is Lorna (Mixed By @IamYaadcore)

Posted on by swadedavillain

In celebration of Reggae singer (and Protoje’s mom) Lorna Bennett’s birthday, she released the “mixtape” version of her debut album. Titled “This Is Lorna” and mixed by Rory Yaadcore, this album included her single “Breakfast In Bed” which made her the first female artist to top the Jamaica singles chart for five consecutive weeks. For many who are familiar with her work can reminisce on her hits and new listeners can be educated (and see who Protoje got his talent from). Wonderful listen from a great artist. Happy Birthday Ms. Bennett! Check out the album below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Alton Ellis – Willow Tree (1967)

Posted on by swadedavillain

After dropping Raine Seville’s “Willow Tree” yesterday, I felt it was only right to play one of the original songs. Today I feature a song by the late Alton Ellis a.k.a. the GodFather of Rocksteady. Titled “Willow Tree” and produced by Coxsone Records in 1967, this was a cover of Chuck Jackson’s “My Willow Tree” which was done in 1962 but never made it to the music charts. This song is about finding new song all while sparing the “Willow Tree” from sharing the pain of past failed relationships.

In recognition of Shaggy’s 20 year anniversary of his “Oh Carolina” hit, I thought I might give you all the original version. Today’s Oldies Sunday selection comes from The Folkes Brothers, the original artists behind the “Oh Carolina” single. The Folkes Brothers comprised of John, Mico, and Junior Folkes. Produced and released by Prince Buster in 1960, this is a love song where the artists are here urging Carolina to come back into the lead singer’s life after having bouts of sadness and loneliness.

Titled “Teach The Children (Teacher Teacher)” and produced by Duke Reid in 1971, AlCapone deejays about the activities that happen in the classroom with teachers and students. He spoke on children learning how to spell, speak foreign languages and show and tell along with students alerting teachers by saying “Teacher Teacher!“.
