Tenor Blue Pays Tribute To the 80s With “Rub A Dub Stylee (Dub)”

Posted on by swadedavillain

US-based R&B/Reggae Artist Tenor Blue has been on the scene for a number of years delivering music that plays heavily into his influences. With a love for R&B, Reggae, Pop, Hip Hop, and Jazz, he experimented with their sounds to make music that’s not only unique to him, but to the listener. He has been holding his own for over 2 decades, and continues to find new listeners and spaces. Earlier this year, he made some noise with the single, “Rub-A-Dub Stylee“, and recently he took it to a different place with a Dub version.

Tenor Blue pays tribute to the growth of the Dancehall and Dub era in 80s Jamaican music with the release of “Rub-A-Dub Stylee (Dub)“. Produced by Dean Fishback, the song takes us back to the foundation Artists like Supercat, Yellowman, and Sugar Minott, Producers like King Tubby, Lee “Scratch” Perry, and Scientist, and fans of Dub will be grooving to this one. The original version of Tenor’s single continues to make its rounds music and video streams, and is ready to take the new version on the road this year.  Respect to the originators.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Prince Jazzbo – School (1972)

Posted on by swadedavillain

The Summer holidays are over, and it’s back to school time for the young ones, the not so young ones, and the young at heart. Class is in session on Oldies Sunday. Today’s selection comes from Prince Jazzbo (whose Birthday is on September 3) with the track, “School“.

Produced by Sir Coxsone Dodd on the “College Rock Riddim“, and released through the Bongo Man Label in 1972, Prince Jazzbo is getting everyone back into the mindset as it’s time to learn. He shares keys phrases like “Go to school and learn the golden rule“, “If you can spell, you will never go to hell“, and “If you read, you will succeed“, and he delivers with a vibe and the deejaying/toasting style that would have listeners dancing and rewinding. Jazzbo emphasizes the importance of an education, and you can never be too old to learn as well. “School” was a popular song for Prince Jazzbo, and an important one that some would play in late summer before the start of the new school year.

Since the release of “School”, Prince Jazzbo went on to release more singles that became hits, and important parts of the culture. Jazzbo left this Earth on September 11, 2013, and his music continues to connect with listeners around the world. People it’s time to buckle up, it’s time to learn.

Thank You Prince Jazzbo For This Classic. Sleep Well.

Posted on by swadedavillain

When it comes to music, the Island of Jamaica has been a pioneer, contributing to the ever growing soundscapes. From Ska, to Reggae, to Dub, to Dancehall, Jamaica’s music has lent a hand in establishing new genres, and creating fresh new talent in the process. With names like Bob Marley, Toots Hibbert, Lee “Scratch” Perry, Sean Paul, and Vybz Kartel being some of the more recognizable names globally for their musical contributions, a huge impact has truly been made from such a small Island. Enter Producer Dale “Dizzle” Virgo who seeks to contribute to the growing impact with, “DubSoul”.

“DubSoul” is the newest sub-genre that promises to further change how you hear sounds. Created during the pandemic, Producer Dale Virgo delves into various sounds, and was inspired to create a new wave, something that will touch music lovers in a way that never had before. The sub-genre taps into Dub, Reggae, Dancehall, Soul, and other sounds from many other genres, and Dale Virgo believes that “DubSoul” will have staying power, and new talent from around the world will emerge to push it to unprecedented levels. “Armed with capabilities for physiological arousals, emotional mood setting, and a deep cognitive range, he is ready to take over mainstream with his dynamic rhythm sounds which can leave you: calm, mellow, happy, lively, enthusiastic, and inspiring, while also revealing the complex, sad and depressing side of the same coin. What is his name? He goes by the name “DubSoul.” shares Virgo about the new sub-genre. Early examples of DubSoul can be found on Gyptian’s 2010 single, “Mama Bawl”, and on Virgo and Jamaican Recording Artist SeanResy’s collaborative EP, “Rocky Road”, which was released in July 2021.
