Posted on by swadedavillain

Recently, US Rapper Wale released his much anticipated album, “Folarin II“. The album is the sequel to his 2012 “Folarin” Mixtape, and finds him showing growth in his over 15 year career. The album features collaborations with J. Cole, Chris Brown, Rick Ross, Jamie Foxx, and many others. While he is known for clever wordplay and songs for the ladies, a familiar sound popped up on this album. Knowing how Jamaicans can pop up in anything, Dancehall legend Shabba Ranks makes an appearance on “Folarin II”!

On track 2 titled “Name Ring Bell“, Shabba Ranks’ classic single, “Ting-A-Ling” was sampled. Produced by Tr!zzy Track, “Name Ring Bell” features the signature “Ting a ling a ling” throughout the track while Wale raps about why his name rings bells. “Ting-A-Ling” was produced by Steely & Clevie on the “Gigi Riddim” and released in 1992 through the Shang label, and it finds Shabba Ranks belting out clever Dancehall lyrics. The song became one of Shabba’s biggest hits, and has been sampled by Vybz Kartel, A$AP Rocky and A$AP Ferg, and Drake.

Azizzi Romeo Taps Into Romance & Emotions On The “Catharsis EP”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Love is something special, isn’t it? History has shown us many episodes where love has affected humans in ways. For upcoming Recording Artist/Producer Azizzi Romeo, the idea of romance has prompted him to make music about it. From making one song soon turned into multiple tracks, and today we get to see it in a project form called the “Catharsis EP“.

Consisting of 7 tracks, Azizzi Romeo’s “Catharsis EP” was released through Charmax Music (owned by his father, the legendary Max Romeo). “Catharsis” refers to the process of releasing strong or repressed emotions, and Azizzi utilizes the action to its fullest throughout the EP. He shares a story of romance, with each chapter being an emotional episode. “I wanted to create something romantic. And I also wanted it to be honest.” Azizzi shares. “I ended up pouring out my emotions on some of the tracks. Midway through the creative process, I realized I was purging myself of the past, my mind had become as light as a feather. I had confronted my inner demons and subjugated them. So I decided to name the project ‘Catharsis’.” The production featured on the “Catharsis EP” taps into AfroPop, Dancehall, Reggae, Hip Hop, and R&B sounds, and provides great backdrops to Azizzi’s smooth vocals, and unique lyrics. The “Catharsis EP” is the follow up to his “Reggae Royalty EP“, which was released in 2020.

.@CapellaGrey Recruits @PopcaanMusic & @ChrisBrown For The “Gyalis (Remix)”

Posted on by swadedavillain

2021 has been a great year for US based Artist Capella Grey. His “Gyalis” single was everywhere from parties, to becoming a Social Media fixture, to even being featured on a few of your favourite Podcasts and Playlists. While it had some controversy thanks to his Genius “Verified” feature not sitting well with some members of Jamaican/Caribbean Twitter, “Gyalis” is still a hit. On a mission to grow the song to new levels, Capella recruited Popcaan and Chris Brown for the official remix.

While Chris Brown brings his signature vocals and energy, Popcaan steps in like a true gyalis with his verse as “the ladies crown him King“. “Gyalis” gets some new life on the remix, and if you haven’t been familiar with the song, now is the time to take a listen. 3 different Artists, 3 different types of Gyalis, one dope song. Capella touches base with his Jamaican roots in some of his music, and promises to be one of more prominent names for years to come. Popcaan on the other hand has been pretty busy these past few weeks, when he’s not buying sneakers in the UK, he’s hopping on plenty songs. The Unruly Boss continues to thrive no matter what’s going on.
