Govana Takes On The “Hill & Gully Riddim” With “Itsy Bitsy” For The Fun-Loving Women

Posted on by swadedavillain

The “Hill & Gully Riddim” has become a monster! With Di Genius giving a number of singles the green light, there have been a slew of upcoming and established Artists creating their own music to the Riddim in hopes of gaining an official authorization. Valiant had his turn with “Woii“, and now Govana enters the chat with, “Itsy Bitsy“.

Govana has a thing for the Women who possess certain qualities, and know how to have fun in, “Itsy Bitsy”. The track borrows from “Day-O“, which was made famous by the late Harry Belafonte, and “Fat Beef” by The Tellers, and the “Strikeforce Boss” delivers slick lyrics throughout for the ladies who live on the “grippy” side of life. With a video directed by Ruppi for Now Or Never, we get a colourful visual filled with unique fashion (provided by Shampagnex for Seora Clothing), the Jamaican flag, and nuff vibes that you’ve come to know and love. Di Genius has his hands full with the “Hill & Gully Riddim”, and with Ayetian, Busy Signal, and Nigy Boy on the way, things are going to get even more interesting.

Valiant Makes The Women Say “Woii” On The “Hill & Gully Riddim”

Posted on by swadedavillain

The “Hill & Gully” agenda continues. Di Genius struck gold when he made this Riddim, and we are tapping into not only Dancehall culture, but even more of our Jamaican culture and heritage. The Producer unleashed his Riddim for more Artists to get busy with, but today, Valiant is next up to bat. Yesterday Elephant Man dropped “Hold Him Gyal“, now Valiant drops “Woii“.

Directed by Zise x Top Shootah, Valiant brings the Women down to Emmanuel Road in the video for, “Woii”. As previously mentioned, Vali shares inspiration from the Folk Song “Dung A Emmanuel Road“, and the video brings us to the Market, with a healthy sprinkling of Jonkunnu and Kumina throughout. The “Hill & Gully Riddim” has been a part of the conversation since the preview, and we look forward to what’s next (Maybe Ayetian?). Galang gyal!

Jada Kingdom Channels Damian Marley For “Still Searching” Video

Posted on by swadedavillain

A few weeks ago, Dancehall Artist Jada Kingdom released her latest project, “Just A Girl In A Money Man’s World“, and her people are loving it. The collaboration with Di Genius makes way for even more releases, but Jada is focusing on pushing the project to more bases. One of the project’s popular tracks, “Still Searching“, gets the music video treatment.

Directed by Rizzy for Now Or Never, Jada Kingdom channels Damian “Junior Gong” Marley in the video for “Still Searching”. Having sampled the original Yami Bolo-featured 2001 classic, Jada takes it a step further by recreating the original music video as a part of paying tribute. Junior Gong’s original was featured on his 2001 GRAMMY-winning album, “Halfway Tree“. Jada’s video makes for one of the stand out visuals this year, and we look forward to even more content in support of “Just A Girl”.

Elephant Man Brings The Energy To “Hill & Gully” With “Hold Him Gyal”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Over the weekend, the legendary Stephen “Di Genius” McGregor premiered the first installment in his new “Hill & Gully Riddim” called, “Slip & Slide” by Masicka. The Riddim taps into Jamaica’s Folk Music and Mento culture, paying homage, while making something new at the same time. While we knew “Slip & Slide” was going to do some damage, we anticipated for Dancehall Icon Elephant Man, who hinted that he was working with Di Genius. Today, we get the premiere of, “Hold Him Gyal“.

Directed by King Simeon Di Great, Elephant Man takes it to the farmland in the video for, “Hold Him Gyal”. From Donkey riding, to overalls, to tending to the crops, we’re taken back to simpler times, but with that modern vibes, and the Women putting on their best moves, all powered by the “Energy God” and Di Genius. “Hold Him Gyal” shares inspiration from the popular Folk Song, “Hold Him Joe“, and it is fitting with the concept of the Riddim. We even got some duppy, Jonkunnu, and our traditional Plaid in the mix! The “Hill & Gully Riddim” is growing in presence, and with Valiant and Ayetian onboard, this compilation is gonna be another one for the books, and promote more of our rich culture. Ele is as busy as ever thanks to consistent bookings, and if you’re in Atlanta this May, you can catch him on the ReggaeFest Tour. Poco Man Skank to this one.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Since the 2010s, Jada Kingdom has maintained her presence as one of the bubbling Female voices in Dancehall music. With a sizable catalogue to go with her personality and talent, she quickly became a fave for many, and a guilty pleasure for others. The 2020s found her to be just as successful, even with controversies here and there. Now in 2026, she’s leading the charge in a different way. She unleashes her new EP, “Just A Girl In A Money Man’s World“.

Featuring 6 tracks, Jada Kingdom enters a new era that focuses on broadening her range with the release of her “Just A Girl In A Money Man’s World” EP. The long-awaited project promises to be a hit for her fanbase, and extend her International reach that has been official since the late 2010s. She teamed up with legendary Producer Stephen “Di Genius” McGregor for a number of tracks, while Yo Christon secures a few slots himself. Funny it was just months ago Jada K was contemplating retirement, but we appreciate that she’s still out here with renewed energy, and possesses a readiness to do even more. Remember, she’s just a girl.
