Facts Or Cap? Vibes Machine Deals With A “Cappa Choppa”

Posted on by swadedavillain


Every neighbourhood has them, and new ones are formed everyday. For every successful person, there’s someone who shares tales of delusion and fabrication. Now they can be great storytellers, but when the truth comes out, they go into hiding. The fast life has a large share of those type of people, and Dancehall Artist Vibes Machine calls them out in, “Cappa Choppa“.

In a video directed by 12Span Visuals, Vibes Machine questions the credibility of the local hustler in, “Cappa Choppa”. Overhearing a conversation, Vibes gets into interrogation mode and confronts the Man’s source of earnings, if he is really hustling as he says he is, and getting to the truth to see if he is factual, or a fraudster. There are many in the world who will pose with the belonging of someone successful, and even use them as a way to leverage favours from others, or open the door to an opportunity. When they’re called out on their lies, it is embarrassing, especially on Social Media. Watch out for the cappas.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Bogle – All Dem Deh (2004)

Posted on by swadedavillain

August 22 was celebrated as the 62nd birthday for the late Dancer/Recording Artist Gerald “Bogle” Levy. When Bogle stepped out with his crew, the dance gets nicer as unique moves would make their debut, and the world would catch on. When he started recording music, he made statements. Today on “Oldies Sunday“, we go back in time to check out, “All Dem Deh“.

Released by LA Lewis for Success Records in 2004 and later Hights Production, Bogle dismissed people who were never genuine in his journey in, “All Dem Deh”. The track was recognized as a diss to fellow Dancer John Hype, who was a former member of the “Black Roses Crew” collective. The track came shortly after Hype formed his own dance crew to rival Black Roses, and caused a rift on the scene. Production varied on “All Dem Deh”, but it was popular at the time. The song would appear over the Instrumental to Rapper Snoop Dogg’s “Drop It Like It’s Hot“, and Rapper Jadakiss’ “Why“. The song was premiered at a number of street events, and was answered by John Hype shortly. It would later be released on “A Tribute To Bogle” in 2005 through Success Records.

Since the release of “All Dem Deh”, Bogle would maintain a presence in Dancehall. Dancing since a child, he emerged in the late 80s Dancehall scene creating new dances. His skills would earn him a solid reputation, and his dances would be the basis for many hit singles and endorsements. Sadly, Bogle would be gunned down in early 2005 after an altercation. As Dancehall group Voicemail said it, “Mr. Wacky (one of Bogle’s aliases) is gone, but his dancing lives on…“, and tributes in various forms continue for him over 21 years later. Bogle is remembered for many of his catchphrases that would appear on songs, and “All Dem Deh” is still one many would reflect on.

THANK YOU BOGLE FOR THIS TRACK!

Posted on by swadedavillain


If you were a user of Social Media platform Vine back in the day, you may be familiar with Destin Conrad and his content. Since blowing up on the platform, he has gone on to be a Recording Artist with a string of successful singles, and award-worthy projects. Raised in Florida, he was born to a Jamaican Mother, and identifies as a Queer Artist. Speaking of Jamaica, he has shown love to the Island in a manner of ways over the years, but with the release of his new album “RoadRunner“, this may be the best way he has ever done it.

Featuring 13 tracks, Destin Conrad pays homage to the sounds of Jamaica and more with his 3rd studio album, “Road Runner”. Conrad taps into themes of love and relationships, and throws a party or few throughout. From Reggae and Dancehall prevail throughout, and we even hear a few familiar samples (including a classic from T.O.K.). Production on “Road Runner” includes the likes of Universvl, Kaytranada, Louie Lastic, Wavey, Dimmlak, Dan Forte, Don Mills, and Andre Harris, while Stalk Ashley, kwn, and Amanda Reifer show up on a couple tracks. Destin Conrad represents hard with his new album, and shows that when it comes to music, inspiration is everywhere, and one should never be limited.

Twindem Remember Loved Ones In “A Little Longer”

Posted on by swadedavillain

There comes a time in life where the people you know for most or a part of your life are no longer here. We’re most times never prepared for that loss, and all we’re left with are memories. Bahamian Recording Duo Twindem knows too well that loss of people close to them, and like many of us, we wish time with them lasted “A Little Longer“.

Produced by Pic Pic for Spark Plug Productions, Twindem reflect on those they’ve lost along the way, and shares that would should cherish them while they’re still here. Whether it’s a family member or a friend, the hurt we received in the loss, would be nothing if we got another chance to be around them again. The duo speak on their feelings in a DrizzleDidThat-directed music video, and we see them remember important people, and reconnect with family and friends, strengthening the bonds that were once loose. A good release for them twins. It’s not “Rest In Peace“, it’s “Return If Possible“.
