Elephant Man Brings The Energy To “Hill & Gully” With “Hold Him Gyal”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Over the weekend, the legendary Stephen “Di Genius” McGregor premiered the first installment in his new “Hill & Gully Riddim” called, “Slip & Slide” by Masicka. The Riddim taps into Jamaica’s Folk Music and Mento culture, paying homage, while making something new at the same time. While we knew “Slip & Slide” was going to do some damage, we anticipated for Dancehall Icon Elephant Man, who hinted that he was working with Di Genius. Today, we get the premiere of, “Hold Him Gyal“.

Directed by King Simeon Di Great, Elephant Man takes it to the farmland in the video for, “Hold Him Gyal”. From Donkey riding, to overalls, to tending to the crops, we’re taken back to simpler times, but with that modern vibes, and the Women putting on their best moves, all powered by the “Energy God” and Di Genius. “Hold Him Gyal” shares inspiration from the popular Folk Song, “Hold Him Joe“, and it is fitting with the concept of the Riddim. We even got some duppy, Jonkunnu, and our traditional Plaid in the mix! The “Hill & Gully Riddim” is growing in presence, and with Valiant and Ayetian onboard, this compilation is gonna be another one for the books, and promote more of our rich culture. Ele is as busy as ever thanks to consistent bookings, and if you’re in Atlanta this May, you can catch him on the ReggaeFest Tour. Poco Man Skank to this one.

Chronic Law Shares “I.C.E.” Experience On New EP

Posted on by swadedavillain

There are Artists who use their platforms to tell their story, and Dancehall Artist Chronic Law has one to tell his. Having been freed from a 73-day stint at an I.C.E. detention center in the US, the “Law Boss” has experienced some things that many haven’t. It was only right that he took it to the booth, and release it for the world to know. Today, Chronic Law gives us the “I.C.E.” EP.

Consisting of 9 tracks, “I.C.E.” a.k.a. “Inside Cold & Empty” is Chronic Law’s experience being detained by I.C.E. in music form. Done in collaboration with Producer Notnice, the “Law Boss” details his time in “Alpha 3 Section 1“, “Alpha 2 Section 4“, and the “Krome Detention Center“, the names of the places he was detained. The EP speaks on dark times, maintaining sanity during the ordeal, keeping his faith close, and that day when he could walk free. The EP is released through Notnice Records, 1Law Records, and Collect Di Bred Ent., and is sure to be an important part of a Chronic Law fan’s collection. Freedom is sweet.

The 420 vibes aren’t over, there’s still more to come! Last year, Recording Artists Keznamdi, Mavado, and Marlon Asher released the Stoner anthem, “Bun Di Ganja“. While the Major Seven-produced track wasn’t released on 420, lovers of the herb kept it in rotation while enjoying some of the best green. This year, in honour of 420, it gets a remix by Hip Hop legends.

Joining in on the remix to Keznamdi, Mavado, and Marlon Asher’s “Bun Di Ganja”, are New York Hip Hop legends Jadakiss, Sheek Louch, and Styles P a.k.a. The Lox. With extra production by VAS, DHNY, Da Beatminerz, and Dayzel The Machine, the group goes on for a few bars about their love for the herb. From “Gorilla Glue” to “Courvoisier“, it’s all about high grades of herb at the end of the day, and they’re loving it. The Lox has delivered their share of 420-friendly music in their over 30-year career, and many still play member Styles P’s classic solo single “I Get High” while they roll up. The original “Bun Di Ganja” is still making its rounds, and the remix is bound to catch a few ears. Continue taking flight!
