Badda General Weighs In On The “King Of Dancehall” Topic In “The Debate”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Who is the King of Dancehall? Some say Bounty, some say Beenie, some say Kartel, some say Alka, some say Masicka. With plenty of names being thrown in the hat whenever conversations start, there is always division. Recently, the topic got hot when Vybz Kartel was given the title, but fellow Dancehall Artist Beenie Man opposed, and shared a few words about it. Dancehall Artist/Producer Badda General decided to step in, and discuss the new controversy in the single, “The Debate“.

Released through Real Squad Records, Badda General weighs in on the “King of Dancehall” topic in “The Debate”. While there are a number of names being called aside from Vybz Kartel, Badda shares that at the end of the day, no matter what awards, sales, and streams say, the streets make the overall decision on who qualifies for the Dancehall throne. He mentioned former GRAMMY winners Sean Paul, Shabba Ranks, Buju Banton, and Shaggy, who have made great contributions to uplifting the culture, but he also gave a short History lesson on past Artists who helped to shape Dancehall, and are a part of the G.O.A.T. list like U-Roy and Yellowman. There will be Kings, and everyone has their time, but the debates will never end. Who is YOUR King of Dancehall?

Wasp Makes You Ponder With New “What If” Single

Posted on by swadedavillain

For over 40 years, Dancehall has produced a large number of Artists, who have emerged with new sounds, styles, and created lifelong memories. For some, it was a stroke of luck that gave them their break, while others strategized their way into fame. Dancehall Artist Wasp, who has commanded the scene with some of his above average lyrics and flows, looks to pick the brains of his listeners with the new single, “What If“.

Produced by Double Trackz Productions, Wasp finds himself asking questions that some of us may have asked ourselves in, “What If”. What if Bounty Killa didn’t give Vybz Kartel and Mavado the big break? What if Beenie Man and D’Angel never got married? What if Shenseea and Spice had different complexions, how would their careers suffice now? What if your favourite Artist never got that big break? Wasp takes it to the Newsroom in a video directed by Gameface, and by the end, you will be pondering on these questions. We can only dream now, but what if we could’ve changed the ballgame for a little bit? Tune in to this one.

The Streets Are “Grimey”, But Valiant & Weekday Hold Their Own

Posted on by swadedavillain

Jamaican Producer Weekday has been elevating his game for quite a while, and every release gets better. A member of Tru Ambassador Ent.’s Next Generation roster, he has been keeping the hit factory busy with his unique sounds that compliment the lyrics of some of your favourite Dancehall/Reggae Artists. He has also crossed over into Corporate Jamaica by collaborating with a number of high profile brands. He continues to be one of the in-demand Producers out, and sets the standard with his latest collaboration with Dancehall star, Valiant.

Teaming up for the new single, “Grimey”, Weekday and Valiant deliver a song about ensuring everything that is considered important in life is on point and free from corruption while in the pursuit of achieving goals. Over some solid production, Valiant reflects on some of the days where he had to struggle, and shares that despite success now, some days will find him being cautious of his surroundings and who he shares his energy with, as there are forces in the world whose aim is to cause harm, and damage reputations. Weekday’s production drives the messages home to the listener, and assists in securing another hit for the Tru Ambassador Ent. catalogue, and Valiant’s Diplomats Records. A music video for “Grimey”, which was directed by Damaniac Visuals, is set to premiere along with the new single, and features an appearance by Weekday, and Actor/Director/Media Personality Cornelius Grant.

Weekday has been lending his unique sound to the Dancehall/Reggae scene for a number of years. As a member of Tru Ambassador Next Generation, he has collaborated with the likes of 450, Deno Crazy, Pablo YG, 1SkiMask, Mavado, and Alkaline among others. He previously released the “Quarantine” and “Tears Of Joy” Riddim Compilations, and is looking forward to following up with a new Riddim later this year.

Weekday and Valiant’s “Grimey” collaboration will be out on January 11 on all digital music streaming platforms. The music video for “Grimey” will follow shortly after the single’s release with a premiere on Valiant’s official Youtube channel.

Vybz Kartel Celebrates 10 Years Of “Viking” & Birthday With “Str8 Vybz” Visual

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today, January 7, is a big day in Dancehall as Vybz Kartel celebrates his 49th birthday. The Deejay enjoys his first birthday as a free Man in over 13 years, and has already made it one of his best birthdays. Come January 13, Vybz will celebrate the 10 year anniversary of his album, “Viking (Vybz Is King)” with a special version. The anniversary album will feature new songs, and one of them will be, “Str8 Vybz“.

Produced by TJ Records/Adidjahiem Records, “Str8 Vybz” finds Vybz Kartel not only enjoying the nightlife, but the release of his “Str8 Vybz” Liquor line. Launched in late 2024, “Str8 Vybz Rum” has already made dents in the Caribbean, and other parts of the world. The “Str8 Vybz” track takes us back to the late 2000s and early 2010s when Kartel had a song for every party. The visual, directed by Shane Creative, comes off like a longform Commercial for the Liquor brand, with versions of “Str8 Vybz Rum” being consumed by not only the Deejay, but fellow Entertainers, and partygoers. The “Gaza Boss” kicked off 2025 with his much talked about “Freedom Street” Concert, and is gearing up for even more in the coming weeks. Drink up to this one, and drink responsibly.

Teejay Joins Son Jaydon & Quada On “Star”

Posted on by swadedavillain

As a parent, it’s important to build a legacy for your offspring to follow. No matter the profession, seeing your child/children follow in your footsteps or even being inspired by your journey is a special feeling. Dancehall Artist Teejay knew he would have some of his proudest moments as a Father when he shared the spotlight with his son, Nathaniel, who goes by the stage name Jaydon (and celebrates his birthday today). Today, he premieres the Music Video for, “Star“, the collaboration between him, Jaydon, and Dancehall Artist Quada.

“Star” was directed by Jedi The God and shot at various locations including the St. James High School, Teejay and Quada reflect on the days where they struggled, the success they have gained over the years, and provide motivation for the listener while Jaydon delivers some positive words in the chorus. The video shares a moment of giving where a number of people got some treats during the past holiday season thanks in part to the Cari-Med Group. “Star” was produced by Extol Music and featured on Teejay’s 2024 EP, “I Am Chippy“, which was released through Warner Records. Jaydon has a place in Music when he’s ready to take it on full-time, but first, get those grades right. Aiming for the heavens with ambition.
