OLDIES SUNDAY: Singing Melody – Say What (2000)


It’s been a while, but we’re back with “Oldies Sunday“! No matter what’s going on outside, good music is always inside. Today’s selection comes from the birthday boy, one of Jamaica’s legendary Vocalists, Singing Melody. We go back to check out, “Say What“.

Produced by Bobby “Digital-B” Dixon for Digital-B Records and released in 2000, Singing Melody delivers something for the ladies with “Say What”. The song finds him playing the role of a Man who is distraught with a Woman’s bad experiences in a relationship, and has all intention to make her life better. For every wrong move that Man made, Melody would do right by his love interest. “Say What” was released at a time when Singing Melody was one of the top acts out along with being a part of the supergroup, L.U.S.T. with Tony Curtis, Thriller U, and Lukie D. The single quickly became a hit for him, adding to the list as he was enjoying a career spanning a number of years. The single was later featured on his 2002 3rd album, “Expressions“.

Since the release of “Say What”, Singing Melody went on to release more music. He briefly enjoyed time as a local Reality TV star with his Wife, and is still actively recording music, and DJs for his fans on Social Media livestreams. “Say What” continues to get played in parts of the world, and remains one of his top hits.

Thank You Singing Melody For This Hit!

.@YoungTAndBugsey Sample Sizzla, Enjoy Jamaica In “Rio Grande”


UK Hip Hop duo Young T & Bugsey are ready for the next stage of their careers where they conquer more territories, and connect with new listeners. They enjoyed viral and platinum success in the early 2020s with the single, “Don’t Rush” and platinum success with “Strike A Pose” and “Ay Caramba“. They seek to take the Summer by storm, and they take to the Islands with “Rio Grande“.

With a Director Kay-directed Music Video, Young T & Bugsey take a trip to Jamaica for some good vibes in “Rio Grande”. Living it up as Tourists, they enjoy the Sun, the sea, the atmosphere, and the herb as they find themselves in various locations. “Rio Grande” was produced by Young T, and it samples Sizzla Kalonji’sSolid As A Rock” single. The track was produced by Bobby “Digital” Dixon a.k.a. “Digital B”, and was featured on the 2002 album, “Da Real Thing“. “Solid As A Rock” was previously sampled by Jay-Z, Ja Rule, Papoose, 50 Cent, and The Jacka. Young T & Bugsey are currently campaigning “Rio Grande”, and we can expect even more from them later this year. Time for some vibes.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Thriller U – Sweetest Sound (1989)


Today, we celebrate one of Jamaica’s respected Vocalists, Thriller U. Today (August 14) he celebrates his birthday, and for our Oldies Sunday selection, we highlight one of his earliest singles, “Sweetest Sound“.

Produced by “Bobby Digital” Dixon on the “Peanie Peanie Riddim” and released through Digital-B Records in 1989, Thriller U, a then Teen sensation, gives us a song that all the DJs loved. With his smooth vocals, Thriller U borrows from Anita Wards’ 1979 Disco hit, “Ring My Bell” for the chorus of a song that goes into attack mode for any “Soundbwoy” who wants to test a Champion Sound. Whether they ensure that the vibes is right at a party or secure victory at any Sound Clash, Thriller U sings for the sound that runs the place. “Sweetest Sound” was included in the compilation album “Two Good To Be True” featuring Admiral Tibet, that was released in 1989 through Digital-B Records.

Since the release of “Sweetest Sound”, Thriller U went on to enjoy a successful solo career, and became a member of the super group L.U.S.T. with Singing Melody, Lukie D, and Tony Curtis. Thriller U is still active with a plethora of singles out, and he still gives his all with every performance. Big up Thriller on his birthday!

Thank You Thriller U For This Classic!

OLDIES SUNDAY: Dirtsman – Hot This Year (1991)


With 2020 coming to a close, we can truly say that this was a crazy year. While we don’t know what the future holds, we just have to move forward with a positive mindset. With that in mind, today’s final Oldies Sunday selection for 2020 comes from the late Deejay, Dirtsman with his 1991 hit, “Hot This Year“.

Produced by the late Bobby Digital for Digital B Records on the Drum Song/Hot This Year Riddim (there is another version that’s produced by Phillip Smart that shares similar production), Dirtsman exudes confidence on this one as he realizes his growing popularity, and his prowess as an artist. From annihilating his opponents in lyrical showdowns to being ready with the lyrics, Dirtsman was on the verge of being even greater. Sadly, he passed away on December 21, 1993 at the age of 27. “Hot This Year” was featured on the late Deejay’s album, “Acid“. While “Hot This Year” is one of his biggest songs, we dedicate it to those who see 2021 as year for growth, positive changes, building back broken bonds, and a lot more success. Keep your head up!

Oh she cute eeh?” are the opening words to Reggae Artist Sizzla’sWoman I Need You” single from his critically acclaimed 2002 album, “Da Real Thing (Get It Here)“. At the time, Sizzla was on a blazing trail thanks to his “One Of Those Days (Dry Cry) single, but today he has another high point in his career. Today marks the release of DJ Khaled’s 10th studio album, “Grateful“, and Sizzla is both featured and has his 2002 single sampled on the album. “Woman I Need You” was produced by Bobby “Digital” Dixon for Digital-B Records on the “Dem Gone Riddim“. The sample appears on the track, “It’s Secured” which features Rapper/Producer Travis Scott, and Hip Hop Icon Nas, and produced by DJ Khaled, Cool & Dre, and 808-Ray. This marks the second time the track has been sampled as it first appeared on Rapper Cam’Ron’s 2004 “More Gangsta Music” which featured fellow Rapper Juelz Santana. Digital-B Records has been a part of many successful singles from the likes of Shabba Ranks, Coco Tea, Morgan Heritage, his son Giark, the late Garnet Silk, and was the Producer of Sizzla’s “Black Woman and Child” album. DJ Khaled’s “Grateful” album also features Dancehall Artist Mavado with production from Jamaican Producer Troyton. The album is now available on iTunes, and all streaming services.
