“Bring Di Money Come” Says Gospel Artist Goddy Goddy

Posted on by swadedavillain

“Bring Di Money Come” is the latest promotional effort from Gospel act, Goddy Goddy. In the song he portrays a message to the public that being a child of God, doesn’t mean that you have to accept poverty. “God wants us to prosper. He says I wish above all things that you prosper as your soul prospers. God wants us to be blessed, and he wants us to have money” said Goddy Goddy. The song was officially released at the end of 2015 as a part of the W.A.F.I.F (Worship And Faith International Fellowship) Production. The Riddim features other Gospel acts that include Bishop Mclean, Spanner Banner, Mykal Malachi, and many more. The accompanying video medley was shot by noted Director Ariff Butler.

The song has been getting great feedback from the Gospel community so far and is a favourite with many street youths. “The love that I have been getting from the Gospel community has been tremendous. I used the song to minister to the youths especially, and to let them know that there is a better life out there for them” expressed Goddy Goddy. The noted Gospel figure who has been in the music business for over a decade and a half, cited that this project is “History in the making”!

“This has never been done before; a Bishop and his Wife and fellow members of the Congregation doing a Gospel medley on a Dancehall Riddim, this is big. I want to thank all the members of the Church who was a part of this project and helped to make it a reality”.

Rev. Goddy Goddy is looking forward to a few upcoming gigs  locally and overseas, and he will be performing his new single among his past hits.

@IAmRaytid Is Still Making An Impact In Dancehall & Soca

Posted on by swadedavillain

While it has been over a year since the release of the monstrous hit single “Blahdaff”, it is still a crowd favorite in Dancehall and Soca parties worldwide, and is paving the way for Recording Artist Raytid’s newest hit, “Caribbean Girls”. “Caribbean Girls”, which is featured on True Gift Entertainment’s “Tropical Punch Riddim”, is already a favorite in small Islands such as The British Virgin Islands, St.Lucia, Guyana and Trinidad.

“Blahdaff” was released early last year and the official video has surpassed the two million views mark on Youtube. Raytid has also shown his versatility by recording “My Days” on the “Tears of Joy Riddim”, which is also another crowd favourite. Songs such as “Dinki” on Blaqk Sheep’s “Swahili Riddim” and “Even Though You Gone” on the “Different Eyes Riddim” continue to get favourable spins in the USA and Africa. According to Raytid, “People might say after “Blahdaff” I disappeared but I am here, still putting in the work, and focusing on the world, not just Half Way Tree.”

His single, “Caribbean Girls” is currently number three on Lits Radio’s top 5 Caribbean songs in Canada. Raytid is also promoting the single “Holiday Again” which is a collaboration with himself and Demarco featuring Bravo Ravers while still pushing other tracks such as “Prove Yuhself”, “Wine And Go Dung”, and “Fifty Shades Of White”. Keep up with Raytid by following him on Social Media @IAmRaytid and subscribe to RaytidVEVO channel to see his videos.

Posted on by childoflaluna

Rapidly taking over your listening, social and creative space, Jamaican brand REM Entertainment is gradually generating a wave of tremendous proportion. If you don’t know now you DO, so sit back and take a peak into the mind of Josh Era as he sits with us to discuss the role his movement is playing in pushing the Jamaican entertainment scene to a higher plateau in 2016.

INTERVIEW BY: @SEF_JO
PHOTOS BY: @REMlivingdream

Sef: Kicking it off the right way, apologies for the delay; flu been had me sleep. We are honored to be working w/ REM Entertainment on various fronts. Punnany Pleasures is definitely a good look, well worth the 28 mins of play time.

JoshERA: Respect bredda, appreciate the support!

Sef: Got the go ahead to get things started so without further hindrances, I’d like to start by asking about REM: Who are you and what do you [as a collective] represent?

JoshERA: Basically… REM is a group of friends [more like family] and we put all our talents in music [DJ, Production, Artistry] and in Art [Photography, Graphics] in all forms. REM ENTERTAINMENT now is the sound made complete with DJ Kelly, DJ Laing and myself.

We play out at various events bring a unique energy and vibes to the crowd. REM itself stands for Rapid Eye Movement, just in case you weren’t aware.

Sef: Very interesting, surely seeing the correlation between your work as creatives and the dream state; I believe much of our creativity comes from the subconscious. I also do know versatility is key to gain credibility as a Jamaican DJ so what genres of music do you prefer to work with when mixing?

JoshERA: Versatility is very key and when I’m DJing I try to mix it up at all times – from old school hip-hop and rap to current Dancehall to current Hip Hop. I personally prefer current Hip Hop/Dancehall though.
