Mixtape Movements: Shawn Storm – Word Sound Power

Posted on by swadedavillain

They say you can put them physically behind bars, but the mind stays free, and Dancehall Artist Shawn Storm is an example of that. Currently facing time with fellow Deejay Vybz Kartel, he aims to keep his name current until the possibility of freedom. He does so with the release of the “Word Sound Power” project. Featuring 12 tracks, Shawn Storm’s catalogue is put to work in the streets while the Deejay maintains his outlook behind bars. Never a slouch when it comes to music releases, we get plenty previously unreleased tracks that showcases a talent that was undeniable. The project was produced by Kwashawna Records, and is one of many releases we can expect from Storm, as his mentor is also staying busy with the music, despite his current situation. Check out the project below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

PRESS RELEASE: Vybz Kartel’s “King of the Dancehall” Promises To Be A Success + “Fever” OMV

Posted on by swadedavillain

“King of the Dancehall” is the latest project to be released by Dancehall titan, Vybz Kartel. The project is a collaborative effort between Adidjahiem Records and TJ Records in association with Zojak World Wide. This is great news for the “World Boss” supporters, as the album becomes available for pre-order May 6th exclusively on iTunes. Fans can order the full album and receive the first single, “Fever”, as instant gratification. Also on May 6th the “Fever” music video, directed by Game Over/Jay Will, launches via YouTube and Vevo. On May 20th the “Western Union” track will be available for instant gratification.

The album will be available exclusively to Apple Music subscribers on June 3rd, the same day the third instant gratification track, “Colouring This Life”, will be offered in the iTunes store. Apple Music will offer exclusive streaming one week before the album is available for download on June 10th , a service usually reserved for major label artists and a great honour for a Jamaican artist. iTunes will be supporting the album through special marketing and promotions in a manner they don’t typically do for Reggae/Dancehall.

“King of the Dancehall” contains never before released tracks from Vybz Kartel, all recorded by the prolific Artist before his incarceration. The tracks have been carefully completed by renowned Producer Linton “TJ” White of TJ Records, with whom Kartel has established a solid working relationship over the years. Kartel says, “We’re imploring the fans to go out and support the album, not just for Vybz Kartel’s sake, but for the sake of DANCEHALL. Let’s show the world we can still pull some big numbers in our genre too”.

PRESS RELEASE: JahZ I Lee Looks Forward To A Shining Career

Posted on by swadedavillain

Ever since he was very young, Munhaire Lee had dreams of becoming a recording artiste. At the launch of his career, the rising star has released two songs, “Love Yours Refix” (Beauty in the Struggle) by J. Cole featuring himself and “Low Me Mek Me Live”. He adopted the moniker JahZ I Lee, a name that reflects his Rastafarian roots, and gives an insight into his style of music. Jah Z I see himself as an artiste painting a picture with his realistic words of wisdom.

“Music is the most viable medium to convey a message. Having an infinite imagination one begins to compose record and perform. If something is repeated, it then becomes a routine, if that routine is loved then it also becomes a passion” expressed JahZ I. Both songs were produced by Michael “Jagga” Barracks, Askelle and Brown Chopz from the Vision House Family, and Mark Cine Enigma. So far, JahZ I has been receiving tremendous feedback from both songs as they are regarded and greatly applauded for their deeply resonating and truly reflective themes.

“My response thus far has exceeded my expectations, there’s always that one fan that will come up to me and tell me how much they enjoy listening to my music. It is a joy to hear how my audience has taken to my music, and the great thing is I aim to offer difference in my approach. Some time ago my PR Manager, Susan Smith of Powerhouse Global Media, said to me that the world needs my talent and originality and those are words that have stayed with me.”

The upcoming sensation looks forward to a shining career in music and is currently busy in the studio cooking up a storm.

PRESS RELEASE: Kapri Pleased With Double Releases

Posted on by swadedavillain

Dancehall Artiste Kapri is on a musical high with the recent release of his two singles “Dark Glass” and “Anything” on the Jah Snow Cone Record label. The two songs continue to grow in popularity, further cementing the Dancehall Artiste as a force to be reckoned with in the musical fraternity.

Kapri has carved out a respectable underground following with the song “Dark Glass”. For the street campaign, he has teamed up with Ghetto Bomb in order to capitalize on this market. So far, the song has been a favourite for places like “Uptown Mondays”, “Boasy Tuesdays”, “Bounty Sundays” and many other popular spots. “Anything” on the other hand, is a song for the ladies and has been enjoying regular rotations on local and International Radio stations. The accompanying video, which was filmed under the direction of Jack Nine Films, was released in early February and is currently enjoying heavy play on local and International TV stations.

The deejay believes that these two songs can propel his career to where he wants it to be and his approach in doing a Radio single and a street single is a strategy to tap into these two markets. “I feel like now is the time more than ever because I have all of the right elements in my camp. I have the right Producer, the right motivators, the right team and Ghetto Bomb in the streets”.

“The reception that we get in the streets so far is a good look. So I’m going to continue to do the work, because there are many more things to come. There are no limits to my music. I am bringing back the nostalgic sound, by incorporating that older era with a modern feel”.
