Vybz Kartel’s “Clarks” Featured In New Supreme X @Transformers Promo

Posted on by swadedavillain

Where are the Streetwear Scholars? The Brand Aficionados? Streetwear brand Supreme has announced their official collaboration with the classic “Transformers” franchise. The hit TV/Film franchise teams up with the New York-founded Streetwear brand to launch a new Optimus Prime figure featuring special makeup/branding. To kick things off, the collaborators released a promotional video to announce the new venture, but a familiar sound was featured throughout.

In the promotional video for Supreme and Transformers’ new collaboration made by PlasticAction that features a dancing Optimus Prime action figure, Vybz Kartel’s 2009 hit single, “Clarks” was used in the soundtrack. Produced by ZJ Chrome, Vybz Kartel’s “Clarks” was an ode to the popular British Footwear brand. The song also featured a then upcoming Artist named Popcaan, who recently joined the Portmore Empire/Gaza collective, and Gaza Slim who also a fresh recruit. “Clarks” would take the scene by storm, and further contributed to the already growing love for the line of shoes in Jamaica, and the rest of the Caribbean. With Vybz Kartel being featured in the promotional spot, it’s only right that Supreme reaches out for a collaboration (Supreme if you’re reading this, I want a care package of the Vybz Kartel collab please and thanks).

Supreme x Transformers launches on April 17 on Supreme’s webstore.

Currentzicks Tackles The “Perdix Chicken” Situation On New Single

Posted on by swadedavillain

A few days ago, Jamaica was greeted with a lost Shipping Container loaded with a few things, and it quickly became a trending topic. Inside the container was a few packages of “Perdix“-branded Chicken from Brazil, and people dove in to get their share. What followed later was a report of the chickens being unsafe for consumption, and arguments ensued. While others are waiting for reports of sickness and possible deaths from the salvaged meat, Mandeville-based Dancehall Artist Currentzicks used the time to speak on the situation. Tune in to, “Perdix Chicken“.

Produced by Steel Chest, Currentzicks shares his observations on “Perdix Chicken”. He gets into the discussion where people are being warned about the possible effects of consuming the chicken, where others discuss the number of ways they’ve prepared theirs for dinner. The chicken topic is very divided and active, and it’s only a matter of time before we hear more good and bad about it. Currentzicks takes it further with a Music Video directed by Saii Media Group, and the Deejay and Steel Chest show up at the Shipping Container’s location at Hellshire coastline in Portmore, St. Catherine. The Deejay even brings along his pet John Crow, an Animal that has been a topic of discussion for the Deejay earlier this year, to get its taste of the meat. Dancehall Music was made to cover daily observations and experiences, and Currentzicks is just another messenger. Be safe out there.

Rajahwild Rolls Up Something Good On “Bonsai Tree”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Some days can be tough to deal with, especially Mondays. For some, they get by with just focusing on work or school, others find something to keep them distracted. For all the other days, Dancehall Artist Rajahwild keeps something close by to get him on the clouds. He floats on the new single, “Bonsai Tree“.

Produced by Pantason/Shaqadon Productions on the “Weed & Grabba Riddim“, Rajahwild rolls up something good on “Bonsai Tree”. Rajah delivers something for the smokers and stoners, and it will definitely put them all on cloud 9, staying afloat over the stress or frustration they may go through. The herb that Rajah enjoys keeps him higher than ever, and even finds him speaking in Japanese. In the end, he is as calm as one can be who tends to a Bonsai Tree. Rajahwild has been busy releasing new music these past few weeks, and has been performing in various parts of the Caribbean and the US, and is gearing up to join Alkaline at the UK staging of “New Rules“, and in Jamaica with Aidonia at his 20th anniversary concert. Roll up with the Sinful smoker.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Innocent Kru – Impossible Train (1998)

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s another “Oldies Sunday” moment! We appreciate everyone who has been tuning in for our various selections. Today’s entry takes us back to the late 90s/early 2000s. We check out “Impossible Train” by Innocent Kru.

Produced by Sly & Robbie for Taxi Records and released in 1998, it was a display of lyrics and styles on “Impossible Train” by Innocent Kru. Comprised of cousins Benzly Hype, Dapsy Daps, Copper Kid, and Macka Head, this was the crew’s official debut single, and they kicked off things in a big way. The production sampled the theme music from the hit TV/Film franchise “Mission: Impossible“, and was given the real Dancehall treatment as each member delivered verses that had listeners rewinding. The creation of the track came by accident as it was originally a freestyle on the Riddim. Under the direction of Sly & Robbie, it was suggested to be recorded, and made an official track. “Impossible Train” was an instant hit for Innocent Kru, and crossed over to the International market shortly after its release. The track was featured on the group’s 2001 debut album, “Innocent“, and was a mainstay on many mixes.

Since the release of “Impossible Train”, the Innocent Kru went on to release more music. Members of the group would later venture into solo efforts, but their future successes together and apart never surpassed what “Impossible Train” gave them. Benzly Hype went on to release music, dabbled into TV/Film and released a series called “Me & Mi Kru” that quickly became a hit and featured guest appearances by members of the group, and worked with a number of Artists over the years as a Producer. Dapsy Daps a.k.a. “Clumsy Daps” released music over the years, but passed away in the 2010s. “Impossible Train” remains the group’s biggest hit.

Thank You Innocent Kru For This Classic!

Pablo YG Works Hard To “Obtain” Riches

Posted on by swadedavillain

Dancehall Artist Pablo YG is in it to win it. Since his breakout in the early part of the 2020s, he has been climbing up the ladder of success, securing more hits, and building more fanbases around the world. The Deejay recently performed in Europe, and we know that at one point, he didn’t think that would’ve been possible. But he keeps working to gain more. He shares his aspirations in the single, “Obtain“.

Produced by Simple Boss Records, Pablo YG celebrates that life has been good to him in “Obtain”. Remembering the days when he had struggles, he’s grateful for the times he can now command good money to perform his songs, and connect with people who he’d never think would’ve been familiar with him. No more days of frustration, just days where he can get into gear for success. It may be a little overdue for a new project from Pablo YG, but let’s see how the rest of the year turns out. He was one of Dancehall’s Rookies of the year, and now he’s a star player in the Dancehall league. Getting rich and richer.
