GET TO KNOW: The Council (@FiveSteez x @Inztinkz x @TheSickestDrama x @NomadCarlos)

Posted on March 25, 2016March 25, 2016 by swadedavillain

What do you get when you enlist Jamaican Rappers Five Steez, Nomad Carlos, The Sickest Drama with Inztinkz who boasts Production and Rapping skills? The super group called “The Council” of course! Since their debut single “Council Arts” in 2015, listeners have been eager to hear what these Artists can do over more production on a mixtape, EP, or album format. Though seasoned members in the “First Coast” movement, The Council aims to bring more listeners to where Hip Hop came from, and of course show them that they’re nice with the flow when they form like Voltron.

1. I just finished listening to soundcloud.com/proeraradio/jo… and heard that Joey Bada$$ was in the Island recently. Did any of you meet with him? That would certainly have been a “PRO” move by The Council.

Inztinkz: Nah I didn’t get the chance to meet him actually, I guess it was just a matter of our circles not crossing.

Five Steez: I didn’t meet Joey when he was here but I respect his work. I really liked his album, B4da$$.

Nomad Carlos: What’s good? Nah I wasn’t in JA when that went down. I probably wouldn’t have met with him anyway due to the circles of interest on his part.

TSD: Nah, we didn’t meet with him, but I’m aware of other First Coast affiliates who did, and I hope something positive comes out of it.

2. Pretend this is a phone call I made to acquire just the right amount of insight about the rap game from the only comrades who actually know the direction of authentic Jamaican emceeing. Fill me in on as much details as possible.

Inztinkz: Jamaican emceeing had always been in a weird place. Right now I think because of the diversity of influences in rap in general, Jamaican emceeing can’t be pinned down to one particular style per-se. Its really an amalgamation of the the Jamaican experience and all that influences it done via the medium of Hip Hop.

TSD: Jamaican Hip Hop is an underground phenomenon that’s bubbling in local scene waiting for the right avenues and spotlight to emerge. There are many rappers scattered across the island, although ‎the fraternity seems more insular in remote parts of the country. There’s a diverse range in terms of influence and sound, but the common denominator is re arranging the yard experience through the prism of Hip Hop culture as its become to be known internationally. It’s a post-modern aesthetic.

NEW MUSIC: @HardDayzSoReal – Selah x Feelz Good

Posted on March 21, 2016 by swadedavillain

It’s been a while since we’ve heard some music from Blu Rok’s Hard Dayz. Today we present to you not one, but two tracks from the “Greenz Yaadi“. In “Feelz Good“, we hear Dayz going into Dancehall/R&B mode by reaching out to the ladies over a groovy SOS Dynamikz Production. On “Selah“, Dayz brings it back to Hip Hop and goes in on his rise in the Rap game and warns his peers that he’s taking over everything over SOS Dynamikz’s dark Production. It looks like Dayz needed the vacation as he also makes us aware of his “Greenz Yaadi (Reinvented)” Project. No word on the release date but check out the tracks below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

Posted on March 13, 2016 by swadedavillain

First they started out as the youth of the Dancehall/Reggae culture, now they’re parents with growing kids. It isn’t unusual for the child of an Entertainer to follow in their parent’s footsteps one way or the other as at times they bring a modern take on their parent’s creations, or create their own lane. Some of the most famous off springs include Stephen, Ziggy, and Damian “Junior Gong” Marley (Sons of Bob Marley), Chino and Di Genius (Sons of Freddie McGregor), Junior Tucker (Son of Jimmy Tucker), Morgan Heritage (Children of Denroy Morgan), Tarrus Riley (Son of Jimmy Riley), Queen Ifrica (Daughter of Derrick Morgan), Protoje (Son of Lorna Bennett), Chronixx (Son of Chronicle) and many more.

NEW VIDEO: @Sadiki_iLive x @RealJuniorReid – My Story

Posted on March 12, 2016 by swadedavillain

We don’t always know a person’s past or what they’re going through, but there comes a time where they share it all in their own way. Today, US Based Hip Hop/Reggae Artist Sadiki-I shares his life on “My Story“. Directed by Birhan Tonge of Royal Ras Productions and shot in Jamaica and New York, this features Junior Reid and a cameo appearance by popular US Media Personality Angela Yee. Here Sadiki spoke on his Montserrat heritage, being raised in Boston, being a part of the street life, his run ins with the law, and his spiritual journey as a Rastafarian and his journey to Africa. Thanks to Jah, Sadiki has been saved, for if he wasn’t he’d be dead, locked up, or going crazy. Check out the video below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

NEW MUSIC: @FiveSteez x @Inztinkz x @TheSickestDrama (The Council) – Triumph Freestyle

Posted on March 8, 2016March 8, 2016 by swadedavillain

The Wutang Clan is for the children, while Five Steez, Inztinkz, Nomad Carlos, and The Sickest Drama who make up “The Council” are for the Hip Hop heads. Today 3/4 of the group hop on the Clan’s “Triumph” Instrumental for a quick freestyle. Here they shed light on fake Rappers, show how sharp they are when it comes to the bars, and how their upcoming projects (Five Steez – Momentum Vol. 3 and The Council’s “Nothing Else Matters“) will separate them from the common folk and will be what you need to hear. I bomb atomically, check out the track below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

Mixtape Movements: @CillAwesumore – Tale Of The Ox

Posted on March 1, 2016 by swadedavillain

Jamaican Rapper Cill Awesumore from the Blu Rok crew considers himself the eccentric one. Today, while you may be feeling for Oxtail for lunch, Cill delivers the “Tale Of The Ox” project. This features 7 tracks with titles you’d see more in a Food Magazine rather than a track listing (except tracks 2 and 7). With preparations from Sky Ras, SOS Dynamikz, and Kris Beatz, and Eon Smit, Bruce and Vindon delivering platters, this might be a delectable meal for all who are willing to consume. Check out the project below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
