Tenor Saw’s “On Top Of The World” Sampled In @GhostfaceKillah’s “Champion Sound”

Posted on by swadedavillain

When Dancehall meets Hip Hop, it’s always a vibe. Recently, Hip Hop legend and member of the iconic Wutang Clan Ghostface Killah released his latest album, “Set The Tone“. The album is the Rapper’s 12th solo studio release, and it features a number of big names, and he taps into new and familiar sounds. One of the familiar sounds dates back to the 1980s, and it highlights one of Dancehall’s classic Vocalists.

On the track “Champion Sound” off of Ghostface Killah’s “Set The Tone” album, the late Tenor Saw’s “On Top Of The World” was sampled. The track was made as a Dubplate for the Stereo Mars Sound System, which was owned by Businessman Kenneth Black a.k.a. “Skeng Don“, and was played at a PNP (The People’s National Party) Rally in 1986. Tenor Saw had a successful music career in the 1980s and was one of the most influential voices in the early digital Reggae/Dancehall era, but his potential and life was cut short in 1988. “Champion Sound” was produced by Ghostface and Danny Caiazzo, and features US-based Dancehall Artist Beniton, who holds his own alongside the New York Hip Hop legend. Ghostface Killah’s “Set The Tone” album is out now.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Reggie Stepper – Drum Pan Sound (1990)

Posted on by swadedavillain

The Soundclash culture is one that many should be celebrating. The world has seen the rise of many sounds, and the derailment of some thanks to the Soundclash events where they pit their best against each other. The Dubplate is a very important tool in a Soundclash, and many of your favourite Artists have recorded tracks to be used in the wars. For our Oldies Sunday selection, we highlight an Artist who has recorded his share of dubplates that have aided many sounds. His name is Reggie Stepper, and his track is “Drum Pan Sound“.

Produced by Steely & Clevie on the “Stalag Riddim” and released through their label in 1990, Reggie Stepper gets into some Soundclash vibes on “Drum Pan Sound”. Throughout the track, he jeers the sounds who aren’t at their best, and there is no tolerance for those who can match up to his team. Stepper throws in his signature style, and it puts the listener in the audience at a Soundclash. “Drum Pan Sound” became a popular track for Stepper, and Selectors would request Dubplate versions for their respective sounds. “Drum Pan Sound” was also sampled over the years on tracks like “Wreck Shop” by Run-D.M.C., “Chief Rocka” by Lords Of The Underground, and recently on Nas’ “Magic 2” album on the track, “Bokeem Woodbine“.

Since the release of “Drum Pan Sound”, Reggie Stepper continued to release more music, perform in various parts of the world, and fulfilled Dubplate requests for many Selectors and sounds. “Drum Pan Sound” remains one of his more recognized tracks.

Thank You Reggie Stepper For This Track!

NEW MUSIC: @AgentSasco x Zinc Fence Records – Badda Dan Dem (Dub)

Posted on by swadedavillain

AS

Dropping new music is the combination of Zinc Fence Records and Agent Sasco. Doing a dubplate version to his “Badda Dan Dem (Rude Boy Shuffle)” single which was produced by Teflon and SOS Dynamikz, we hear Sasco dropping retro styled lyrics and showing off the “Rude Boy” persona over a production that would have you skanking while keeping a keen ear to the lyrics. This a is very dope creation here that will definitely get multiple replays, and the occasional “Buss A Blank” gesture. This version is not for the softies. Check out the track below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
