.@Skillibeng & @TommyLeeSparta Make Terrorist Threats On “Bin Laden”

Posted on by swadedavillain

The Eastsyde Boss Skillibeng has been trending pretty much all of 2020. With tracks that continue to stay in rotation and a recent signing to Sony/ATV in a publishing deal, he’s about to see a lot more different currencies in his bank account. This week he released a much anticipated “The Prodigy Skilltape“. Though the 35 track project has received mixed reviews, at least fans of the artist have plenty music to absorb. One of the tracks that got people’s attention however is the Tommy Lee Sparta featured, “Bin Laden“.

Like the late leader of al-Qaeda, Skillibeng and Tommy Lee Sparta unleash weapons of mass destruction on the Claims Records produced beat as they spew badman lyrics, and show off a different flow on this one. Both aren’t strangers to the bad man tunes, so you know it’s something deadly when the E-Syde and Sparta connect. One of the standout tracks on the project, this can be seen as a seasoned veteran and the rookie of the year creating something special. Skillibeng’s “The Prodigy Skilltape” is available everywhere.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Power Book II: Ghost has been doing well since its debut earlier this year. With members from the original Power series making moves along with new characters, the action and drama have not pushed viewers away. Along with the storyline comes some great music. Earlier this year we highlighted that Lady Saw’s “Strip Tease” was featured in the debut episode, and today, New York based artist Alex Mali makes an appearance through song in the 8th episode with her MeLo-X featured track, “Hoity Toity“.

Produced by Ninease and released in 2017, is a feel good track that captured some Island vibes, was a great fit for the summertime, and was made for the bad gyal dem! We had the pleasure of featuring its official music video that you can see here. The track was featured during a scene between Tariq and Effie (played by Michael Rainy Jr. and Alix Lapri respectively) as they handled some business (and pleasure) together. Are you familiar with Alex Mali? Check out some of her work here.

Natural Bond Ent. & @BugleAn9ted Stay Blessed On “Life Still Well”

Posted on by swadedavillain

When you think about it, we are truly blessed everyday. Life has its share of ups and downs, but to live to see and learn from them is something to give thanks for. For Manchester based Natural Bond Entertainment and Recording Artiste Bugle, life is the greatest thing, and you can hear about it and more on the upcoming single, “Life Still Well”.

Produced by Natural Bond Entertainment, Bugle handles the vocals as he further expounds why life is still the greatest despite what’s going on around him. With the world being rocked with the Covid 19 pandemic among other things this year, Bugle looks to keep the listener in a conscious state of mind, make us be aware that once you have life, you have everything, and remind us that God is still in control and you don’t have a need for unnecessary things that provide a false sense of security. With a longstanding career filled with timeless music, Bugle ensures that “Life Still Well” will provide an ample amount of motivation, and be a mainstay in many playlists and music collections worldwide.

Natural Bond Entertainment continues to release great music in 2020, and 2021 will find them dominating in the music scene even more and connecting with great artistes. With “Porus Riddim” and “Gold Leaf Riddim” being in discussions as contenders for the year’s best compilations, the Manchester based label helped to give upcoming and established artists a steady amount of buzz, and provided unique sounds that rocked the airwaves, streets, and speakers globally. Not slowing down on the work ethic however, they look to announce more releases in the coming weeks.
