On October 6, Jamaica and the world lost another Icon, Producer Extraordinaire Bunny “Striker” Lee. Known as “The Gorgon“, Bunny Lee was man who has helped to shape music as we know it as he was an early adopter of Dub Music along with the late pioneer King Tubby. He was a pioneer of the Reggae Music market in the UK, and he was also the man who produced former child star now Dancehall Icon Beenie Man’s debut album. If you didn’t know, Bunny “Striker” Lee is one of the fathers of the Remix! Today, we pay tribute to his production work by highlighting some of his classics, and those who sampled him in our latest Playlist!

From Koffee, to Kardinal Offishall, to KRS-One, to Sister Nancy, to Sean Paul, learn a thing or few today, and enjoy some great music!

Lutan Fyah Steps Out With New Single For @LKReggae’s Upcoming EP!

Posted on by swadedavillain

US/Jamaica based Production company Lustre Kings Productions is getting ready to touch the world with some great music. With all that’s going on in the world, they look to provide some healing, entertainment, and consciousness with the release of their upcoming EP, “Star Chile“. With a blend of Reggae, Afrobeats, and Dancehall paired with some of the best voices in the business, the EP promises to be a favourite for many. Kicking off the EP’s rollout is the legendary Lutan Fyah with the track, “No Selfie“.

On the track, Lutan Fyah announces that he is only here for real people, no time for facades and false lifestyles. “Social media tends to have us believing in what we see online and on people’s profiles. That is not necessarily real life. I want to encourage people to know themselves and keep it real. It is a metaphor for being honest and true to yourself.” shared Lutan Fyah. Africa, Mr. Eazi a.k.a. “Star Boy“, and the “Voodoo Chile” Jimi Hendrix were all the inspirations behind the genesis of the “Star Chile Riddim“, the backbone of the “Star Chile EP” according to Andrew Moon Bain, one of the founding members of Lustre Kings Productions. Those elements pushed Andrew to do a deep dive, and emerge with the “Star Chile Riddim” which enlists the exceptional talents of Lutan Fyah, Pressure Busspipe, and Alandon. Consisting of 5 tracks, the EP will hit the streets on October 30 on all digital music streaming platforms through Easy Star Records.

.@PopcaanMusic Checks In With @JorjaSmith On “Come Over”!

Posted on by swadedavillain

International Poppy is at it again! Fresh off the release of his highly anticipated “Fixtape“, Popcaan continues to cross seas and plant the Jamaican and Unruly flags in various territories. Finding himself in the pop scene this time around, he connects with Singer Jorja Smith on, “Come Over“.

Produced by Dre Skull, Pasque, MadisonLST, and Cadenza, we get a Dancehall flavoured/sampled track that finds Jorja wanting to “fix tings” with her love interest, while Poppy smoothly steps in the fire off some slick lyrics. Accompanying the single, is a Future Power Station animated visual which was directed by Amber Grace Johnson. A not too fast, not too slow release here, definitely something to slow wine with that special person with. With the pandemic causing a lot of distance between many, may the Zoom and Facetime calls find this song a worthy part of the soundtrack.

OLDIES SUNDAY: @MichieBadGalMee x L.A. Luv – Jamaican Funk (1990)

Posted on by swadedavillain

For today’s “Oldies Sunday“, we’re going give it you Hip Hop style. For those unfamiliar, Hip Hop’s roots traces back to Jamaica. While many have done tremendous things for the genre and its culture, we have to remember the pioneers. Jamaica has DJ Kool Herc, and also Michie Mee, a Canadian Hip Hop pioneer. Today, we feature Michie Mee’s single, “Jamaican Funk“.

Produced by King Of Chill and released through First Priority Music in 1990, “Jamaican Funk” was a collaboration between Michie Mee and DJ L.A. Luv, and was a single that helped to spawn the growth of the Canadian Hip Hop movement. It was also one of the first singles that blended Hip Hop and Dancehall as Michie deejayed and rapped throughout the track. The single did very well for Michie Mee, and was given a remix called, “Jamaican Funk Canadian Style“. Both versions were featured on Michie Mee & L.A. Luv’s album, “Jamaican Funk-Canadian Style“, which was a success for the duo as the album crossed borders, charted on American charts, and was nominated for a Juno award. Since “Jamaican Funk”, Michie Mee went on to make more moves as an artist including founding the band, Raggadeath, influencing the new generation of artists, and kicking down the door for many of your favourites. She also dabbled in acting with roles in the film “In Too Deep“, and appearing in TV shows like “Soul Food” and “Da Kink In My Hair“. She is the Queen of Canadian Hip Hop, and a yaad she come from!
