Posted on by swadedavillain

We’ve made it to a point in time where Artists who ruled in their youth, are now called legends. DJ Kid Capri worked his way up to becoming one of New York’s greatest DJs, and a true Hip Hop legend. Whether you call him Mr. Lexx or Lexxus, the Deejay solidified his status as a Veteran, with a number of hits, spanning nearly 30 years in music. Recently, these two premiered the music video for the single, “Pon Me“.

Directed by Corey Hallam, Kid Capri and Mr. Lexx call the ladies up in the video for, “Pon Me”. The mix of Hip Hop and Dancehall is welcomed here, and two music vets trade lyrics for the ladies throughout. Released through No Kid’N Records, “Pon Me” was featured on Capri’s 2022 album, “The Love“, and has enjoyed some love on streaming platforms since then. Mr. Lexx has been entertaining on Social Media over the years, but he’s always ready with a surprise for fans through the release of high-profile collaborations, live performance appearances, and a recent announcement of being involved in the upcoming Film, “Blood Money“.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Since the inception of this platform in 2012, we’ve featured Jamaican Hip Hop. One of the acts who lead the charge with the genre was Rapper Five Steez. Active since the 2000s, he has inspired many to be a part of the culture, and attracted more eyes on the “First Coast“. 2025 still finds him putting out music, and earlier he premiered the new EP, “The Test Of Time“.

Done in collaboration with Canadian DJ/Producer Son Raw and a follow up to their “RE:DEFined” EP, “The Test Of Time” is Five Steez’s latest EP, and a testament to his longevity. Consisting of 4 tracks, we get an exhibition of a seasoned Hip Hop veteran who expertly handled well-crafted sample-based production. Steez shares his stories, his thoughts, his dedication, and continued focus throughout the project, and it will connect with the right people. Listeners who have followed Steez for a great length of time have witnessed his growth in the music, and will remember his early stages, and look forward to even more in his evolution. 4 tracks aren’t enough when it comes to Steez, so expect another roll out later this year. Get the headphones and speakers ready, and tune in.

.@Nardwuar Interviews DJ Kool Herc For 51 Years Of Hip Hop

Posted on by swadedavillain

It all started on August 11, 1973 in The Bronx, New York, and now it’s more than a global phenomenon. Hip Hop turns 51 years old, and the world continues to keep it alive. It’s Pop Culture, it’s an influence for generations, it’s in the Olympics, it’s everywhere, and it all started with the Jamaican DJ Kool Herc. As a part of the celebrations, Canadian Media Personality/Journalist/Musician Nardwuar a.k.a. The Human Serviette caught up with the DJ for a quick conversation.

Hosted at the Beat Street Record Store in Vancouver, Canada, Nardwuar and DJ Kool Herc along with his younger Sister Cindy Campbell a.k.a. The First Lady Of Hip Hop spoke about the birth of Hip Hop, the records that Herc would play, the Influences, Herc’s achievements, The Bronx being the mecca, Hip Hop’s 51st year, and more. Hip Hop started in the park, and 1520 Sedgwick Avenue will forever be the landmark. There have been debates, but you can’t deny the Jamaican Immigrant DJ Kool Herc’s contributions, and his position as the “Godfather of Hip Hop“. The genre continues to evolve, and we appreciate the ones who helped to build its foundation, and contribute to its legacy. Happy 51st Birthday Hip Hop.

.@DaveEast Links Up With @DiRealShaggy & @Mike_N_KeysStan On “Dangerous Riddum”

Posted on by swadedavillain

You know how the badness go. Harlem-based Rapper/Actor Dave East is gearing up for an eventful Summer. With a new project called, “APT 6E” on the horizon, he’s giving the people a taste of what’s to come with a number of singles. One of the singles that will peak the listener’s interest is the track called, “Dangerous Riddum“.

Produced by Mike & Keys, DJ Khalil, AC, and Dan Seeff and featuring Jamaican Music legend Shaggy, Dave East lets the listeners know on “Dangerous Riddum” that the streets can get dangerous, but he is aware of what’s going down at all times. He keeps the peace, but has a piece nearby, and a radar for when the Law is tracking him down. Shaggy steps forward with a few choice words himself, letting you know that he can be the nice guy with the multitude of hits, but if you cross him, it nah go nice. The combination of Dave East and Shaggy may be odd to some, but it works. East previously worked with the likes of Junior Reid and Popcaan, and has always made a connection with his Caribbean side (Barbados and Dominican Republic). A lil bit of melody, some New York and Jamaican badness, and a tune that will be making its rounds leading up to the release of East’s forthcoming project. NPT!

North Carolina-based Rapper Rapsody had many anticipating a new project from her for quite some time. She finally came through with her latest body of work called, “Please Don’t Cry“, a 22 track collection and her 4th studio album which features some of her best music that dabble in various topics. She brought along a few friends to help share her messages, including a friend from the Caribbean on, “Never Enough“.

Produced by Major Seven, Nicole Bus, and Precious Wisely, “Never Enough” features Reggae Artist Keznamdi and Bus. The track finds Rapsody and Kez speak on loss, overcompensating for flaws, trading peace for material things, appealing to the trends and not what’s right, and more importantly not fitting into societal norms and ideals, and loving yourself. To be “free from Babylon” is always the motive, and Rapsody, Keznamdi, and Nicole Bus deliver beautifully over some great production. Rapsody shares many uplifting messages on her new music, and it’s out now for streaming.
