.@The_RealNavino Promotes Positive Messages With “Prayers Up”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Dancehall Music has always been a place where different minds step forth to share stories, share experiences, and promote various messages. While the messages are either good or bad, there is an audience for either of them. Over the years, the genre has welcomed an abundance of acts who have chosen to promote lifestyles that aren’t ethical through their lyrical content. Some promote criminal activities, others promote lifestyles that go against the upbringing of many. With Jamaica being a Christian country, there have been groups that rallied against the content, emphasizing that it’s ungodly, and should be taken off the airwaves. The Artists that perform these songs however, are pushing back with the defense that it’s free speech. While that battle goes underway, Dancehall Artist Navino is taking a different route, and chooses to promote a positive message on the single, “Prayers Up”.

Produced by Damage Musiq on the “Spiritual Warfare Riddim”, Navino walks with God, and he’s leading the charge for the right things on “Prayers Up”. His path doesn’t require him to make music with certain messages like some of his peers, and he can’t go against what is right to make content that glorifies the devil, and acts of evil. His journey is not an easy one, but he is determined to do the right things even when the forces around seek to corrupt him. Navino aims to make music that uplifts, and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. “Prayers Up” is a change from the new norm of music being released, and has been receiving great feedback since its debut, with many highlighting the positive messages. The Artist looks to influence more of his peers to follow the path with the content, and encourages listeners to make the right moves for a positive change as the country has had its share of corruption, crime, and violence, and they need to be done away with. A campaign is currently underway to promote the single to various platforms.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Before the month is over, we want to show respect to an Architect in Jamaican Music. a Man who created a wave in the early years of Ska Music, and made his name prominent in other genres, that soon made him an inspiration, and Icon. His name is Byron Lee, and if there was a “National Heroes Of Jamaican Music” category, he would’ve been on the list. The late Musician/Producer/Entrepreneur took the music to new territories, and has received numerous accolades for his accomplishments. His Dynamics Sounds Studio was one of the best in the Caribbean, he produced classics in multiple genres, and he gave us “Jamaica Carnival“, popularizing Soca Music in Jamaica, making it accessible for everyone. His band, The Dragonaires, became the standard for many bands in the Caribbean, and have been in movies, on the Radio, and at an event near you. Byron Lee has done so much for Jamaican Music, but today we’re highlighting some of the music that sampled the work of Mr. Lee in our latest Playlist.

While the list is not long, we invite you to tune in to some of the hits that Byron Lee produced over the years, and some of the tracks that used his sound to make their own hits. From Ska, to Dancehall, to Hip Hop, Lee’s DNA could be found in some of your faves. Those who are not familiar, can use this Playlist as a start into discovering more from the late Icon. Long live Byron Lee!

Witty Goes Rock On “F’d Up”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recording Artist Witty (f.k.a. ASAP Witty) is an Artist on the rise who has been steadily making his name be known on the scene. Many know him from collaborations with Comedian Prince Pine over the years, but he’s putting in work, releasing a number of tracks over time. His name has been in a number of conversations in the past few weeks, but he’s focusing on securing solid hit singles. This time around, he taps into a different sound on, “F*cked Up“.

Produced by Tjtorry and Bussweh, Witty goes Rock for the new “F*cked Up” single. With lyrics about Women, drugs, partying, and the overall life of a Rockstar, Witty is feeling the rush, and is bringing a different kind of energy. He shares some of that energy with a Music Video directed by Bussweh Visuals, and with the help of his “band“, he’s letting the music flow while he crashes out with them. “F*cked Up” is a showcase of versatility, a lil experimentation, and a small change from his usual style of music. This may open the doors for even more releases in the similar vein, and we know a number of people will welcome it. We’re going into Rockstar mode!

Windel Haye "Haunted House" (1979) on 13thStreetPromotions.com #Jamaica #Reggae #Dancehall #Music #13thStreetPromotions #WindelHaye #WindewHaye #HauntedHouse #SirCoxsoneDodd #StudioOne #OldiesSunday #OldSchool #Oldies #Caribbean #BarnabasCollins #Vampire #Halloween #DarkShadows

OLDIES SUNDAY: Windel Haye – Haunted House (1979)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Every year we hear people say, “Jamaicans don’t celebrate Halloween“, yet there are Jamaicans going to costume parties and Halloween-themed events. Make up your minds. Anyway, with October 31 basically around the corner, it’s time we featured a ghostly selection on “Oldies Sunday“. Today, we feature Windel (also known as Windew) Haye, and his single, “Haunted House“.

Produced by Sir Coxsone Dodd and released through Studio One in 1979, Windel Haye stands tall on “Haunted House”. He shares that he’s ready to conquer the beast, and any evil force that wishes to step into his space. Whether day or night, he’s armed, and he’s anticipating a battle. “Haunted House” was inspired by Barnabas Collins, a TV Vampire from the 1960s series, “Dark Shadows” that gained some popularity in Jamaica. Haye’s tune is aimed at the bloodsucking character, as he details how he will eradicate him. The song gained some popularity shortly after its release, and contended with tracks like “Barnabas Collins” by Lone Ranger, which was cited to be an inspiration. It was also released in the early days of Dancehall Music, showcasing the “Toasting” style that would quickly become the wave.

Since the release of “Haunted House”, not much was heard of Windel Haye. “Haunted House” was one of two tracks released by him in 1979, but in 1980, he released “Roots & Herb Style” under the name, “Field Marshall Haye“. “Haunted House” is still mentioned by many. Happy Halloween to those who celebrate it, and those who don’t celebrate it.

Thank You Windel Haye For This Tune!

Eddy G Bomba Lives Life Like A Game Of “Jumanji”

Posted on by swadedavillain

The kind of life Dancehall Artist Eddy G Bomba lives is a fast one, but when the rewards come, they are aplenty. The Deejay has been enjoying quite the buzz this year, with a lot of viral success on Social Media. However, it’s not always good times as he has been targeted by the Police, who seek to cause a decrease in his earnings with a ban on live performances. Thanks to his management, they are trying to seek a resolution, but in the meantime, Eddy released the video for, “Jumanji“.

Directed by RB Visuals, Eddy G Bomba lives life like a game of “Jumanji”. The video finds him opening up the game from the popular movie franchise, but soon finds himself getting to the money, Women, and luxury vehicles. The track was featured on Bomba’s debut Mixtape, “Jumanji Book“, which has given the Deejay a lot of attention since its release this past June. There may be a ban on his live shows at the moment, but they can’t ban his presence. Time to roll the dice.
