Posted on by swadedavillain

Welcome to another episode of “Jamaican/Caribbean Music showing up in your favourite Film, TV, or Commercial“. Recently, Hulu premiered the 2nd second of their Comedy series, “Life & Beth“. The series stars Amy Schumer and Michael Cera, and it focuses on the character Beth (played by Schumer), whose somewhat steady life gets flipped, and she has to tap into her past to right the wrongs. The series is a popular one on the Video Streaming platform, and on the debut episode of season 2, a familiar Dancehall song could be heard in a scene.

The classic Dancehall tune “Ting-A-Ling” by Shabba Ranks was featured in the “Trust Me” episode of “Life & Beth”. Produced by Steely & Clevie on the “Gi-Gi Riddim” and released through the Shang label in 1992, “Ting-A-Ling” is one of Shabba’s biggest hits. The song was featured on his GRAMMY-winning “X-tra Naked” album, and was sampled by the likes of Wale, Vybz Kartel, A$AP Ferg, Nicki Minaj, Safaree, and Saweetie.

“Life & Beth” is available for viewing now on Hulu.

Steely & Clevie & Shabba Ranks Get Sampled On New @TaiAyshaMami X @Saweetie Single!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Ting-A-Ling-A-Ling, a new song is in, sampling some sounds from a 90s Dancehall Riddim! Model/Recording Artist Tai’Aysha made her debut today with the single, “One Night Ting“. The single features an appearance by Saweetie, and was co-produced by the legendary Stephen “Di Genius” McGregor! While there is high hopes that this will be a hit for Tai’Aysha, we’re here for the sample! Dancehall heads would immediately pick out a similar sound, namely Shabba Ranks’ 1992 classic, “Ting-A-Ling“. “Ting-A-Ling” would come from a classic Riddim called, the “Gi-Gi Riddim“.

The “Gi-Gi Riddim” was produced by the legendary Production duo of Steely & Clevie a.k.a. Wycliffe Johnson and Cleveland Browne, helped to birth the classic Shabba Ranks single, “Ting-A-Ling”. “Ting-A-Ling” was featured on Shabba’s 1992 “X-tra Naked” Album. “X-Tra Naked” won a GRAMMY for Best Reggae Album in 1993, and was certified Gold. Tai’Aysha and Saweetie’s “One Night Ting” isn’t the first time “Ting-A-Ling” got sampled, and everyone from Patra, Wale, Vybz Kartel, to Nicki Minaj all sampled “Ting-A-Ling” and the “Gi-Gi Riddim”.

Nicki Minaj is looking to cause problems with new music! While she has been enjoying the success of her “Queen” album, and promoting it worldwide, she’s looking to take over this summer with the new single, “Megatron“! While she kicks things off with a Mike Ho directed video, a familiar Jamaican Riddim can be heard throughout the Pop Wansel and NOVA Wav production. It is none other than Jamaican Producer Danny Browne’s “Filthy Riddim“! Released in 1998 through his Mainstreet Records, it is one of the latest Dancehall Riddims to have enjoyed sampling by a huge International Artist (In 2016, Richie Stephens’ “Sail Away Riddim” was sampled on Rihanna’s hit, “Work“!).

Deejay Shabba Ranks’ “Ting A Ling” was also sampled on “Megatron”. The track was released in 1992, and produced by Production duo Steely & Clevie (Who is Danny’s brother by the way) on the “Gi-Gi Riddim“. Knowing Nicki Minaj’s pull, expect “Megatron” to be streamed millions of times. Danny Browne’s “Filthy Riddim” featured the hits, “Heads High” by Mr. Vegas, “Breeze Off” by Lady G., and General Degree’s “Traffic Blocking“. Stay tuned to the Blog for a follow up Article.
