.@BlvkH3ro Puts Jamaican Music On Display In Europe!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Emerging Jamaican Recording Artist Blvk H3ro has been enjoying a 2021 filled with a plethora of new releases. The Artist has been gaining a massive buzz thanks to the single, “It Nuh Easy”, which has since become a staple on radio since its release earlier this year. Despite the pandemic, he has found a way to give the people new music, and new content. What was missing however, was being a part of the live performance aspect. That all changed as he’s currently making his rounds in Europe!

As a part of the UNESCO Transcultura Programme Call selection, Blvk H3ro and his Reggae Soul Band were invited to the Worldwide Music Expo, also known as WOMEX. The event is held in Porto, Portugal from October 27-31, and Blvk H3ro and the Reggae Soul Bad are some of the Artists representing the Caribbean this year which also includes Cuban Artist Cimafunk, Cuban Musician Yarima Blanco, and Haitian/Dominican Band AZUEI. Blvk H3ro has held his own through a series of performances at the event, sharing via Social Media that he is grateful for the opportunity to put Jamaican music on display in Europe.

The album has been featured on the top rated “The Ebro Show” on Apple Music, and was featured through various entertainment programs and mix shows across the Caribbean, Africa, and various parts of the world.

When Sizzla gives the studio time to rest, he is hard at work making plans, and pushing forward development at Judgement Yard Community Centre in August Town, St. Catherine. He is currently overseeing and giving a helping hand in numerous projects as a part of community’s “Musicville” area including a man-made river, a swimming pool, a learning centre, a restaurant, a new state of the art recording studio, and other structures.

.@ZacJonesStony Presents To You, “The Weed Song” With @JesseRoyal1

Posted on by swadedavillain

Music has been made in tribute to Women, cars, money, God, and even where you’re from over the years, but when a song is made about Marijuana, “It hits different“. There are many an anthem for Ganja, Weed, Mary Jane, and Herb, from some of world’s Connoisseurs of the plant. Recording Artist Zac Jone$ is one of those Connoisseurs, and he presents to us today, “The Weed Song“.

Produced by Iotosh (who has been having a respectable run of productions in the past couple years) and featuring fellow Weed Scholar Jesse Royal, Zac Jone$ shares his “high” experience when he connects with the good green. “I wrote this song at a time when I was busy doing a lot of things outside of music and I remember feeling really overwhelmed”, Zac shares. “Every night after work I’d sit outside in my garden and smoke and I’d feel good in that moment; like that was my escape. One of those nights I just wanted to put that feeling into song. I pulled up the beat from Io (Iotosh) and it all came together right there. I was saving it for the right feature, so when Jesse heard it a few months later and started writing his verse on the spot, I knew that was it. It was all organic so that was dope.” Accompanying the single is a dope Music Video directed by Jesse Suchomel, which finds Zac in various parts of Kingston enjoying the Weed with friends (anyone caught the Potential Kid, Tessellated, and Sheen cameos?). What’s your favourite Weed strain?

The world has its shares of ups and downs, and sometimes people are put into circumstances that change them for better, or for worse. Rhiya Luna and Kruze 45 continue to show great chemistry here, but don’t be surprised if they announce a collaborative project soon (Rhiya may be dropping an EP before that we hope).
