OLDIES SUNDAY: @TheRealMrLexx – Full Hundred (2000)

Posted on by swadedavillain

On Oldies Sunday, we celebrate Icons, and the songs they have created. For today’s Oldies Sunday selection, we highlight a Palmer who has made great contributions to Dancehall. His mama named him Christopher and he started out as Lexxus, but the world now knows him as Mr. Lexx (Mr. Lex as well)! We go back in time to check out the track, “Full Hundred“.

Produced by Richard “$hams” Browne for B-Rich Records on the “Orgasm Riddim“, Mr. Lexx was all about living life to the fullest on “Full Hundred”. A song that was motivational, Mr. Lexx emphasized that whatever he was doing in life, he was going to give it his all, and you should too! Nothing but the best for Mr. Palmer. “Full Hundred” quickly gained popularity following its release, and was one of the top singles featured on the “Orgasm Riddim”, which also spawned a few hits. A music video was made for “Full Hundred” that gained mostly positive reviews, and was premiered on Jamaica’s “Entertainment Report” television programme in 2000. The track was featured on Mr. Lexx’s 2005 debut album “Mr. Lex“.

Since the release of “Full Hundred”, Mr. Lexx went on to enjoy a career that gained him a few more hits over the years. He found himself in a few controversies and even a few beefs, and dabbled in Radio and Television as a Media Personality, but he remains one of the more entertaining names today, and thanks to Social Media, he has gained an audience that continues to grow. He is also watching the rise of Recording Duo The Yutes, who happen to be his sons. “Full Hundred” remains one of his most well known singles.

THANK YOU MR. LEXX FOR THIS HIT!

Elephant Man Gets Us Ready For The Christmas Parties With “Sling”!

Posted on by swadedavillain

There was a time when Dancehall Artists ensured that a Christmas song was a part of their catalogue. Some of our favourites would send it out early so that we could catch on to it just in time for the holiday parties, and the tunes would quickly become hits. For some time, that side of Dancehall died down, but the “Energy God” Elephant Man is here to revive it with the video for the Younger Generation Productions-produced track, “Sling”.

Directed by Simeon Di Great, Elephant Man returns as Santa Claus to bring good tidings, and a whole heap of dancing! With his Dancers ready, Ele kicks off a few dance moves including the introduction of the “Sling” dance, and remixes the classic “This Old Man” to get us in a vibe. Elephant Man grants wishes of dance during a time where the Choppa songs have taken over the scene, and looks to incorporate even more dancing back in Dancehall. Let the holiday parties kick off in fine style, and done the “Shizzle” way!

.@JadaKingdom Focuses On The Important Things On “One Life”!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Dancehall Artist Jada Kingdom comes through with new music with a message. Jada has been staying busy these past few months in the booth, on stage, and being a topic of various discussions, and her fanbase enjoyed a respectable growth through it all. While her life may have taken a few turns this year, she looks to focus on the important things on the new track, “One Life“.

Produced by Hundred Hours Ent./Crown House Media, Jada Kingdom finds herself wanting to be away from the ills of the world. “One Life” is a song that speaks of the need to be around the right people, including that one love who you can see everything in life with. Jada Kingdom previously worked with Hundred Hours Ent. and Crown House Media on the track, “ESQ Till Death“, which quickly became a hit when it was released earlier this year. Expect “One Life” to be a hit with the fans, and possibly inspire couples to form in the coming days. With the delivery on “One Life” by Jada paired with its great production, it could become one of her signature tracks.

Busta Rhymes x Skillibeng - "Bulletproof Skin" on 13thStreetPromotions.com #Jamaica #Brooklyn #HipHop #Dancehall #Music #13thStreetPromotions #BustaRhymes #Skillibeng #BulletproofSkin #TheFuseIsLit #Caribbean

.@BustaRhymes Recruits @Skillibeng For “Bulletproof Skin”!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Legendary Hip Hop Artist Busta Rhymes is back with a new focus, and an arsenal of lyrics that are as potent as ever. The Rapper has been in the game for 3 decades, and can still hang with the young ones. Earlier today he released his latest EP, “The Fuse Is Lit“, and one of the tracks, “Bulletproof Skin“, features Dancehall Artist Skillibeng!

Over a Rvssian-produced track, Busta Rhymes and Skillibeng trade bars, styles, and energy throughout “Bulletproof Skin”. The collaboration was previewed a few weeks ago, and it shows that true legends will always bring up the youths. Accompanying the new track, is a music video directed by Sam Lecca that places the two Artists on the big screen. Busta Rhymes has always been proud to share his Jamaican roots, and he has always found a way to highlight it through collaborations, remixes, or even mixing some of his tracks with a cultural flair.

Good to see Skillibeng advancing with more International collaborations, and with news of DJ Khaled scoring a GRAMMY nomination that featured the Dancehall Artist, we can look forward to him dominating even more.

Western Union featuring Mr. Vegas & DJ Drama

.@WesternUnion Launches New International Campaign Featuring @MrVegasMusic & @DJDrama!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Western Union has launched a first-of-its kind campaign that celebrates Jamaican language and culture in Philadelphia, and it features Philadelphia’s own DJ Drama, a GRAMMY Award winner and newly crowned BET Hip-Hop DJ of the Year; and Jamaican Dancehall singjay Mr. Vegas to capture the essence of both cultures in one seamless activation.

The “Boonununus” campaign which runs up to December 31, 2022 is rooted in the insight that when people send money, they are sending love, possibilities, support, and the opportunity to create more happy moments and memories. Jamaicans use the word “boonununus” to describe something delightful and pleasing. Centering the campaign around the “boonununus” moment of sending money via Western Union free of charge is the perfect opportunity to celebrate Jamaica in a unique way.

The goal of the “Boonununus” campaign is to create an ecosystem of happy moments anchored in giving back to the community and merged with passion points like music and dancing. The result is a unique, ground-breaking musical collaboration between the Philly-native DJ Drama and Mr. Vegas, one of Jamaica’s most recognized voices in Dancehall.

DJ Drama was tapped for the “Boonununus” campaign based on his love for his Philly roots, family, friends, and supporters. Mr. Vegas, one of Jamaican dancehall’s most successful and distinctive artistes, was a seamless match for a collaboration as the idea for the campaign took root. After four days working in studio in separate locations, they landed “Boonununus” with its signature rally cry and just might have a hit single in the making.
