OLDIES SUNDAY: A.R.P. – Selena (1998)

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s “Oldies Sunday“, and today’s selection is for the smokers. We go back to the 90s to check out Jamaican group A.R.P., and the single, “Selena“.

Produced by Paul Henton on the “M-16 Riddim” and released in 1998, A.R.P. is all about smoking on the best of herbs, and the ladies who love them in, “Selena”. The group, comprised of Orville “Da’Ville” Thomas, Roger “Mitch” Mitchell, Collin “Leon” Gilbert, Patrick “Patchino” Hylton, and Ormando “Orand” Rose-Green, delivered smooth vocals with a flow that plays well with a smoke session, and for those times when you’re getting cozy with the special person. “Selena” became a hit for the group, and helped to place them in the mainstream.

Since the release of “Selena”, A.R.P. went on to become a prominent group in Dancehall/Reggae. They scored big with collaborations with Beenie Man, dealt with a short-lived beef with T.O.K., and released more music until parting ways in the early 2000s. Da’Ville and Mitch went solo, but Da’ville rose to becoming one of Jamaica’s in-demand vocalists for a number of years. They continued to work together through collaborations on Da’Ville’s solo projects, but never reformed. “Selena” continues to be remembered by fans and music lovers.

Nitro Immortal Takes It To The Streets With “Return”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Content Creator/Recording Artist Nitro Immortal has been busy with the videos this year, but he’s ready to make a lot of noise this summer. With a number of singles to his name, he’s getting closer to that breakout moment as an Artist. Maybe his new single “Return” will make it happen.

Produced by Chuckstarr for JavDon Musiq, Nitro Immortal is bringing a different vibe for the season in, “Return”. It’s all about the money, the flashy lifestyle, the Women, and the rich vibes. With a music video shot by 14K Films, Nitro takes the music to the streets, and the club as we see scenes of him congregating with his crew, living it up with the ladies, and highlighting some of the spoils from living the good life. Summer 2025 started off on a high note, and with music from Nitro Immortal and others, the soundtracks will be loud, and contagious.

During These Trying Times, Teejay Shares “State Of Mind”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Life is good, but it isn’t without its challenges. What’s important is how we end the day, because tomorrow is another chance to improve. Dancehall Artist Teejay has his share of challenges, but he does his part of overcoming them. Sometimes it’s all about having a different “State Of Mind“.

Produced by Jerry Musiq Productions, Teejay speaks on some trying times, and some of his experiences, but he has dreams and the faith to elevate himself and others in, “State Of Mind”. With a music video directed by WVLNTH, Teejay highlights the ways of Man here. We see all forms of negativity displayed by people who know better, but would rather give into evil and selfish desires and intentions. In the end, nothing is more powerful than a positive message, with good deeds following. Teejay has been busy this year, and with the release of his “Untitled Folder (Classified)” project over the weekend, expect him to take the music to more places this summer.

.@TrvisXX Samples Shyne & Barrington Levy For “Jackboys 2” Album

Posted on by swadedavillain

Over the weekend, US Rapper Travis Scott released the new album, “Jackboys 2“. Done in collaboration with his “Cactus Jack” collective, the new album has been receiving a lot of attention on Social Media. One song in particular on the album, “Shyne“, has been met with a variety of comments.

“Shyne” features Memphis Rapper Glorilla, and is one of the closing tracks on the new “Jackboys 2” album. Since its release, it has drawn quite the attention online. The track sampled the 2000 single, “Bad Boyz” from US/Belize Rapper Shyne. Produced by Ez Elpee and sampled Grace Jones’ “Nightclubbin“, “Bad Boyz” features Reggae/Dancehall legend Barrington Levy (whose “Broader Than Broadway” was also sampled on the track), and showcases a great example of culture blending, and Caribbean vibes in one of the biggest melting pots of the world. Travis Scott’s track finds him not only sampling the production, but attempting to copy Barrington Levy’s signature “Shibbily dabbily” style that was performed on the original. Scott joins a number of Artists who sampled “Bad Boyz”, and they include Lady London, Sean Price, and Cassidy. We hope the business was handled right in regards of sampling this classic. “Jackboys 2” also features a collaboration with Vybz Kartel called “PBT“, and the album is out now on all streaming platforms.

Vybz Kartel Joins @TrvisXX & @Tyllaaaaaaa On “PBT” Track

Posted on by swadedavillain

On Sunday July 13, US Rapper Travis Scott released the latest project, “Jackboys 2“. The new album is a group project from he and his “Cactus Jack” collective, and it so far has gained mixed reviews. The tracklist was already looking promising prior to release, but many weren’t ready for this collaboration on the track, “PBT“.

Produced by Bbykobe, Travis Scott enlists the “World Boss” Vybz Kartel, and South African star Tyla for the track, “PBT”. The song borrows inspiration from Drake’s 2016 single “Controlla“, and it gives a bit of Dancehall and AfroFusion vibes throughout. The guest Artists were originally unlisted on the album’s tracklist, and comes as a surprise for many listeners. In the days leading up to the release of “Jackboys 2”, Scott shared a number of photos on Social Media with Artists posing with a special colourway of the Lamborghini Huracan. The posts would suggest that Vybz Kartel, along with 21 Savage, Sofaygo, Wallie The Sensei, and others would appear on the album, and the vehicles were gifts for their participation. “PBT” is one of the stand out tracks on the album, and would be a bit of a full circle for Scott as he collaborated with Kartel’s protégé Popcaan in 2012 on the track, “Blocka“. “Jackboys 2” is out now.
