After previewing some message music earlier this year, Producer Salaam Remi continues to do it for the culture as he finally dropped his powerful new album, “Black On Purpose“. Featuring collaborations with numerous black voices in music, he tapped into Jamaica and enlisted Super Cat, Stephen Marley, Chronixx, and Spragga Benz!

Having featured Super Cat and Stephen Marley months prior with the tracks “Push Time” and “Is It Because I’m Black“, Salaam Remi sought those who could help to push great messages in the music as the “Black Lives Matter” movement strengthened this year as racial tension in various parts of the world are on the rise. Chronixx can be found on “Afrikan Children” with Black Thought, and Stephen Marley appears for a 2nd time on the album with the track “Black Progress” which features Spragga Benz. “Black On Purpose” follows up his early 2020 release of “Do It For The Culture 2” which features Red Rat, Stephen Marley, Buccaneer, Majah Hype, Wayne Wonder, Spragga Benz, Ghost, and many others.

#13thStreetThrowback - Mad Mad Riddim Jamaica Dancehall Reggae Music Blog 13thStreetPromotions 13thStreetPromo Mad Mad Riddim Golden Hen Riddim Platinum Hen Riddim Diseases Spotify Tidal Caribbean Playlist Alton Ellis Studio One

We Look Back At The Many Versions Of The “Mad Mad Riddim” In Our Throwback Playlist!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Happy Friday the 13th everyone! A lot of things are going on in the world, but music is one that stays constant. Today in our #13thStreetThrowback Playlist series, we look back at a Riddim that has many names and variations, the classic “Mad Mad Riddim“!

We first go back to the year 1967 with the release of Alton Ellis’ “Mad Mad Mad” which was produced by the late Sir “Coxsone” Dodd for Coxsone Records, and that one song’s production lead to plenty versions over the years. From the “Junjo” Lawes produced “Mad Mad Riddim” that gave us the classic “Diseases” by Michigan & Smiley and “Zungguzungguguzungguzeng” by Yellowman in the 1980s, to the infamous “Golden Hen Riddim” that gave us classics from Josey Wales, to Bobby Konders and Massive B’s “Platinum Hen Riddim” in 2011, to tracks that have sampled a version of the Riddim, this Playlist has it covered from familiar songs to rare cuts.

You can’t dull David Lyn’s shine. If the Covid 19 pandemic couldn’t stall his determination, nothing will. Having made a lot of noise this year, he’s only working his way up for the takeover. Today, he unleashed the new single, “Keep Moving“.

Produced by his Grammy winning brother (real real bredda) Izy Beats with assistance from Jamaican Band Phuzzion, David Lyn comes through with original vibes and lets badmind know that they can’t stop his show. With a melodic delivery that has captured the attention of many, he also encourages everyone to get out of the struggle, and to stay true to everything good. Accompanying the single is a Noorez “Nunu” Rhemtulla directed video shot in the infamous Tuff Gong Studio. Not only is David Lyn fueled by everything positive, but the spirit of Bob Marley flows through him in the studio for the video.

“Keep Moving” is featured on his upcoming “Any Day Now EP“, which is set for a December 4th release with launches in Dunagaroos (Wynwood, Florida) on November 25, and in Jangas (Kingston, Jamaica) on December 4. Expect a couple more surprises then, including some “Singy Singy” vibes. Let this track be a favourite for you today!
