Posted on by swadedavillain

The Summer comes with a lot of vibes, good times, and energy, and BVI/Atlanta-based Recording Artist Monéa has been providing that long before. Thanks to her selection of musical releases, she has been busy getting people to dance, enjoy life, and using her Girl Power to take things to new levels. The time for a new project was upon her, and she answered the call with the release of the new album, “Mood Swings“.

Featuring 15 tracks, Monéa gives the world a presentation of who she is as a person, and as an Artist with the release of, “Mood Swings”. Monéa brings the party vibes with the new album, leans into Pop, Hip Hop, Afrobeats, and Dancehall sounds, but also taps into relatable situations when it comes to relationships, and gives the ladies a dose of energy throughout the project. The Caribbean Popstar enlisted the likes of Yarico Beats, Guchydon Beats, Pincho Beats, Nova Elite Audio, Travy Dawg, and Ayo Rodey for the album’s production, while she called up Zerimar, Theron Theron, Skillies, and Safa Gaw for guest features. Summer 2025 has been welcoming a barrage of new music from Caribbean Artists, and Monéa joins the list to take the vibes to more parts of the world.

.@1RealMoulaUE Doubles Up With “Chess Moves” Remixes

Posted on by swadedavillain

Earlier this year, Montego Bay-based Recording Artist MoulaUE made his return to Rap with the single, “Chess Moves“. The track gained some favourable feedback since then, but the Rapper felt he needed more from this track. Fast forward some weeks, and recently he premiered special remixes.

MoulaUE makes “Chess Moves” more interesting with two special remixes. On the first remix, he teamed up with fellow Montego Bay native, Gavin Di Different. For the second remix, he called up Kingston native, Five Steez. The new versions of “Chess Moves” bring even more energy, and bring together different styles in the name of Jamaican Hip Hop. Both Steez and Gavin have maintained a presence in their respective lanes, make Moula’s return to the scene even more official. What’s next for MoulaUE? Stay tuned.

.@TrvisXX Samples Shyne & Barrington Levy For “Jackboys 2” Album

Posted on by swadedavillain

Over the weekend, US Rapper Travis Scott released the new album, “Jackboys 2“. Done in collaboration with his “Cactus Jack” collective, the new album has been receiving a lot of attention on Social Media. One song in particular on the album, “Shyne“, has been met with a variety of comments.

“Shyne” features Memphis Rapper Glorilla, and is one of the closing tracks on the new “Jackboys 2” album. Since its release, it has drawn quite the attention online. The track sampled the 2000 single, “Bad Boyz” from US/Belize Rapper Shyne. Produced by Ez Elpee and sampled Grace Jones’ “Nightclubbin“, “Bad Boyz” features Reggae/Dancehall legend Barrington Levy (whose “Broader Than Broadway” was also sampled on the track), and showcases a great example of culture blending, and Caribbean vibes in one of the biggest melting pots of the world. Travis Scott’s track finds him not only sampling the production, but attempting to copy Barrington Levy’s signature “Shibbily dabbily” style that was performed on the original. Scott joins a number of Artists who sampled “Bad Boyz”, and they include Lady London, Sean Price, and Cassidy. We hope the business was handled right in regards of sampling this classic. “Jackboys 2” also features a collaboration with Vybz Kartel called “PBT“, and the album is out now on all streaming platforms.

Vybz Kartel Joins @TrvisXX & @Tyllaaaaaaa On “PBT” Track

Posted on by swadedavillain

On Sunday July 13, US Rapper Travis Scott released the latest project, “Jackboys 2“. The new album is a group project from he and his “Cactus Jack” collective, and it so far has gained mixed reviews. The tracklist was already looking promising prior to release, but many weren’t ready for this collaboration on the track, “PBT“.

Produced by Bbykobe, Travis Scott enlists the “World Boss” Vybz Kartel, and South African star Tyla for the track, “PBT”. The song borrows inspiration from Drake’s 2016 single “Controlla“, and it gives a bit of Dancehall and AfroFusion vibes throughout. The guest Artists were originally unlisted on the album’s tracklist, and comes as a surprise for many listeners. In the days leading up to the release of “Jackboys 2”, Scott shared a number of photos on Social Media with Artists posing with a special colourway of the Lamborghini Huracan. The posts would suggest that Vybz Kartel, along with 21 Savage, Sofaygo, Wallie The Sensei, and others would appear on the album, and the vehicles were gifts for their participation. “PBT” is one of the stand out tracks on the album, and would be a bit of a full circle for Scott as he collaborated with Kartel’s protégé Popcaan in 2012 on the track, “Blocka“. “Jackboys 2” is out now.

Around these parts, the name “Cochise” may not ring a bell, but for those who frequent platforms like Twitch, he is one of the most popular streamers who happens to have a thriving music career. The Florida-based Rapper/Producer/Streamer has built a heavy catalogue since the mid 2010s, and has incorporated elements of his Jamaican background into his music. With his releases building anticipation every time, he gives the people what they want today with the release of, “Braces“.

Released through Warriors Com LLC, Cochise is just building some vibes here with his new single, “Braces”. He continues to incorporate some Jamaican vibes here with some lyrics done in Patois, and the Bass-heavy production compliments the song well. Known to bring a different kind of energy in his music, he further emphasizes his unique style with a music video directed by Moldyroom. The video shares lyrics throughout, so for those trying to catch on to some of the Patois, there’s a lil help here. “Braces” is for the booming systems, the clubs, and the streets, and you can tune in while Cochise readies his next album.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Foxy Brown – Oh Yeah (2001)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Closing off the Month of June with another “Oldies Sunday“ selection in recognition of “Caribbean American Heritage Month“. For today’s post, we go back to the 2000s to check Rapper Foxy Brown’s “Oh Yeah“.

Produced by Eddie Scoresazy and featuring Dancehall/Reggae Artist Spragga Benz, “Oh Yeah” was Foxy Brown’s assertion that she’s a Queen in Hip Hop, speaking her mind on a few observations, and display her dominance in the scene. Released through Def Jam Records in 2001, the track sampled “54-46 That’s My Number” by Toots and The Maytals, and interpolated “Punky Reggae Party” by Bob Marley and The Wailers. “Oh Yeah” was also a part of the launch of Brown and Benz’s relationship at the time, and it was further evidenced in the music video that was directed by Director X (then known as Little X). “Oh Yeah” was the first single of Brown’s 2001 album “Broken Silence“, but it was not successful when it was released. The track charted very low on Billboard, and was receiving little airplay on Radio. Despite this, it built its buzz in the streets through Mixtapes including a version with alternate lyrics on a DJ Envy-hosted “Best Of Foxy Brown” Mixtape, and live performances.

Since the release of “Oh Yeah”, Foxy Brown’s career had a number of setbacks. While she found success shortly after the release, she would find herself battling court cases, being dropped by Def Jam, slow to release music, and dealt with hearing loss. Born in Brooklyn, New York, Brown is of Dougla (Afro-Trini and Indo-Trini mix) and Chinese-Trinidadian descent. She shows her love for Trinidad and Tobago in a number of songs and media moments, along with namedropping Jamaica, but that has to do with her growing up in the melting pot of cultures in Brooklyn. She is a multi-platinum selling Hip Hop Artists, and one of the “Queens of New York Hip Hop“. She is recognized during Caribbean-American Heritage Month, and “Oh Yeah” went on to become of her signature tracks.

Thank You Foxy Brown For This Track!
