Devin Di Dakta Vs Masicka: Who’s Winning The Beef?

Posted on by swadedavillain

War is in the air they say, and if you’re tuned into the Dancehall scene, you know tensions are brewing up. If you haven’t been paying attention, Dancehall Artist Devin Di Dakta has made some moves recently in calling out fellow Dancehall Artist Masicka. Both Artists have been at odds since the 2010s, and recently things have started to heat up with Devin sending shots, and following up with songs. Masicka however has not answered, but his affiliated Artists Shane Skull and Wirebrain stepped up to defend the turf with their tracks. It’s currently a 1 vs 2 sparring match, but it has been rumoured (or assumed, you know how these platforms are…) that Masicka has been preparing songs in retaliation.

While we’re not the hub for all things beef, we’ve decided to observe the proceedings in hopes that this will be a spectacular display of lyrical engineering, with no major harm to either Artist (we remembered what happened to Devin Di Dakta years ago). Today, we want to know, who are you rooting for in this battle? Devin has been holding his own against Shane Skull, showing that he’s dedicated to the craft. With songs like “Church Mouse“, “Hatchling“, and “3 Little Crocs” garnering some attention online, we await what’s next in this saga, and we hope it’s not (mostly) one sided.

Who Will Win The Beef? Devin Di Dakta? Or Masicka?

.@JadaKingdom Counterattacks With “London Bed”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Earlier, we shared that Stefflon Don officially kicked off her beef with Jada Kingdom with her diss track called, “Dat A Dat“. In the true spirit of feuds, Jada got to work, and has responded. Round one has started off in an interesting way, so here is the track, “London Bed“.

Taking over the “Talibans” Instrumental that made a hit with not only Byron Messia, but with Burna Boy, Stefflon Don’s ex, on a remix, Jada Kingdom takes over the guns to fire her shots at Stefflon Don. She doesn’t hold back with the disses herself, and she shows that she won’t be taking hits from nobody without sending a few back. It’s one thing when the males get to beefing, but when it’s the ladies’ turn, things get a little more exciting. Twinkle is mad. 2024, what’s next?

.@StefflonDon Brings Out Fighting Words On “Dat A Dat”

Posted on by swadedavillain

The “Dutty Money Riddim” that Rvssian unleashed has brought forward hit songs for the 2020s, and gave the original “Go-Go Club Riddim” new life. This week, it is a part of war as Dancehall divas Stefflon Don and Jada Kingdom‘s beef has taken a different turn. While you will not get all the details over here to how it got started, we know this was long overdue. After a series of subliminal shots, Stefflon Don steps out with the first attack called, “Dat A Dat“.

With no time to waste, Stefflon Don gets aggressive on “Dat A Dat”. With her sights set on her target, she stays in her attacking formation throughout, and listeners will be entertained, egging on her opponent to answer with her own diss track. Sting may be over, but 2024 made way for a cat fight. Not many expected this, but only time will tell how much further this beef will escalate. Stay tuned.

Lee "Scratch" Perry's "People Funny Boy" from 1968 on 13thStreetPromotions.com #Jamaica #LeeScratchPerry #Reggae

OLDIES SUNDAY: Lee “Scratch” Perry – People Funny Boy (1968)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today, the world has lost another Icon. Today, the LEGENDARY Lee “Scratch” Perry has transitioned to the big street dance in the afterlife. He is not only the “The Upsetter” or the “Super Ape“, but he is the FATHER of many styles that you have grown to love. His creativity knew no bounds, and his catalogue is unmatched. The “Mad Genius” breathed life into the careers of many, and we will honour him. Today’s Oldies Sunday selection showcases that he has BEEN the legend, even when he was in conflict. Today’s selection is “People Funny Boy“.

“People Funny Boy” was released through Lee “Scratch” Perry’s Upset Label in 1968. This was Lee’s first major single, and it featured the use of Sampling (a baby crying), something that is widely popular today. While notable for those, this was also a diss track aimed at the late Producer Joe Gibbs whom Lee had disagreements with. Lee was recording with Gibbs at the time, but they fell out over finances, and Lee would share some of his grievances in the song in a way listeners would easily relate to. This was Lee’s second track of its kind as he also had conflict with the late “Sir Coxsone” Dodd in 1967, and released a diss track towards him called, “Run For Cover“. “People Funny Boy” saw Lee selling 60,000 records, and helped to bring his name to various circles. He would go on to have an amazing recording and production career for decades filled with unique moments and milestones until his sudden death earlier today. Remember the GREAT Lee “Scratch” Perry, an Icon forever!

thank you lee “Scratch” perry. Sleep well.

NEW MUSIC: @MasickaMusic – Cyah Frighten We (Demarco Diss)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Masicka

With his name being mentioned during a war of words between Konshens and Demarco, Masicka did what any other artist would do and hit the recording booth. Aiming at Demarco is his effort titled “Cyah Frighten We“. Produced by Razzle Music, the Young General threw dart after dart at the “Puppy Tail” Deejay and makes it known that he’s not afraid of him. He also paid respect to other well respected lyricists in Dancehall. With Demarco and Konshens’ battle somewhat swept under a rug as of late, would a new one with Masicka be something to look forward to? Dancehall is very well known for the lyrical clashes so I guess we should stay tuned. Check out the track below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
