Dawn Penn & @WhoIsBEAM Sampled For @OffsetYRN’s “Set It Off” Album


Earlier today, Atlanta Hip Hop Artist Offset released his sophomore album called, “Set It Off“. The former Migos member made it a mission to further prove that he can hold his own as a solo Artist, and connect with more people and markets. The 21 track album has something for everyone, but one track stood out with familiar sounds.

On track 3 of Offset’s “Set It Off” album called “Worth It“, the track starts off with the familiar sound of the 1994 classic “You Don’t Love Me (No No No)” by Reggae Artist Dawn Penn, and the rest had the sound of US-based Recording Artist BEAM and Producer ChaseTheMoney’s new single, “Understand“. “Worth It” was produced by Heavy Mellow and ChaseTheMoney, and featured Singer/Rapper Don Toliver. The classic “Wake the town and tell the people” opener was performed by the late U-Roy for his 1971 single “Wake The Town“, and was sampled for Dawn Penn’s hit, which went on to become a Gold-selling classic, and sampled by many over the years. “Understand” sampled the 1976 classic “Sweet Green Fields” by Seals & Crofts, which was also sampled for Rapper Busta Rhymes’ 1997 classic “Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See“. For those unfamiliar, BEAM has been on the scene for a number of years, and is the son of former Dancehall Artist-now Gospel Artist/Minister Papa San. Offset’s “Set It Off” album is out now!

.@DawnPennMusic & Tenor Saw Classics Featured In “See You Yesterday” Film!


Have you been watching any films lately? If so, have you seen the new Netflix movie, “See You Yesterday“? Directed by Stefon Bristol and produced by Spike Lee, the movie finds two best friends, CJ and Sebastian, (Eden Duncan-Smith and Dante Crichlow respectively) building Time Machines in an effort to reverse the unjustly death of CJ’s brother. While the Film aims to give you a lil Sci Fi fun, you might hear some familiar music in it. As a part of the Film’s soundtrack, the late Tenor Saw’s 1985 hit, “Ring The Alarm“, and Dawn Penn’s 1994 hit, “You Don’t Love Me (No No No)” were featured! “Ring The Alarm” was featured on the “Stalag Riddim” and released through Winston Riley’s Techniques label while “You Don’t Love Me” was a Dancehall remake of Dawn Penn’s 1967 single.

The soundtrack choices wouldn’t be the first time a Spike Lee production featured Caribbean music as his Netflix series “She’s Gotta Have It” featured Dancehall, Reggae, and Soca music (more on that here). “See You Yesterday” is now playing on Netflix, but you can check out the Trailer below and share with a friend.
