Do Jamaican Men Cheat? @KingCruff Says No In “Bunch” Single

Posted on by swadedavillain

This question has been asked many times over the years, and every time it’s met with varying opinions. Do Jamaican Men cheat? While debates are happening, Recording Artist King Cruff gets to digging for the truth in the video for the new single, “Bunch“.

Directed by WaveGod, we are tuned in to an episode of “Cheaters” with King Cruff being the host in the video for, “Bunch”. He gets into Investigation mode as we watch a young Woman who has her suspicions about her Man being unfaithful. Cruff gets on the case instantly, conducting surveillancing duties, taking notes, and getting to the truth at all costs. Produced by !llmind, Don Mills, and Brandon Leger with a sampling of Shabba Ranks’ “Mr. Loverman” hit, Cruff brings some great vibes on the track, paying specific attention to the ladies who are in need of their lover man. With the temperature changing, it’s only right that King Cruff brings some heat to kick off the Summer. Still think Jamaican Men cheat?

OLDIES SUNDAY: @BustaRhymes – Woo-Hah!! (1996)

Posted on by swadedavillain

The Month of June is recognized as “Caribbean American Heritage Month“, and on “Oldies Sunday“, we want to highlight a few Artists who are a part of this. Today, we highlight Jamaican-American Hip Hop legend Busta Rhymes with the single, “Woo-Hah!! Got You All In Check“.

Produced by Rashad Smith and released through Elektra Records in 1996, Busta Rhymes made a crash with the single, “Woo-Hah!! Got You All In Check”. This was his debut as a Solo Artist since his departure from the “Leaders Of The New School“, a Hip Hop group that was formed with himself, Dinco D, Charlie Brown, and Cut Monitor Milo in 1994. The track’s opening was a burst of energy from Rhymes, and it gave many listeners an introduction of an Artist who would dominate the scene. “Woo-Hah!!” was inspired by Funk legend George Clinton of the Parliament-Funkadelic, Hip Hop group The Sugarhill Gang, and Dancehall’s style and delivery. Given Rhymes’ Jamaican background and the energy that Clinton’s music delivered, those were essential in the creation of this song. The song featured what would be described as the Rapper’s manic delivery with a bevvy of rhymes throughout, and it was instantly well-received. The single was followed up with a Music Video directed by Hype Williams.

“Woo-Hah!! Got You All In Check” was successful for Busta Rhymes as it gained high chart placements on Billboard in the US, UK, New Zealand, Sweden, and The Netherlands. The single was featured on Rhymes’ debut album, “The Coming“, and would go on to receive Platinum certification, selling over a Million copies. There was also a remix that was released shortly after featuring the late New York Rapper, ODB.

Since the release of “Woo-Hah!! Got You All In Check”, Busta Rhymes would cement himself as a Hip Hop legend, a Global Ambassador of Music, and a New York Hip Hop King. Born in Brooklyn, New York to Jamaican parents, he always recognized his Jamaican background and upbringing, and it would show in a number of songs he released, collaborations, and Media moments. He would release a number of albums and singles that would earn him high sales, worldwide popularity, and high-profile accolades, and he is still active in music. He is recognized during “Caribbean American Heritage Month”, and “Woo-Hah!!” remains one of his classic releases.

Thank You Busta Rhymes For This Classic!

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.

.@Latto Lives It Up In Jamaica For Her “Somebody” Video

Posted on by swadedavillain

Hip Hop Artist Latto has been holding her spot as one of the leading Female acts in the past few years. First gaining fame as a Teenager on “The Rap Game” on Netflix, she has since then scored a few hits, and has fans awaiting even more from her. All that work can be exhausting, and she is need of a vacation. Luckily in the video for her new single, “Somebody“, she finds herself in the Islands for some R & R.

Directed by her Sister Brooklyn Nikole and HidJi of AWGE and shot in Jamaica, Latto is living it up on the Island in the video for her single, “Somebody”. The video finds her soaking in the Sun at the beach, Rafting to relieve the stress, and turning up and catching the Island vibe throughout while singing about her need for her lover boy. Watching this video, Jamaica really fits Latto, and some may think she’s a local just by seeing her here. Many were looking forward to the visual since Latto shared content from her stay on Social Media, and it would be nice if she comes back for even more like a few Studio sessions, and collaborations with our high profile Artists.

We Salute The Late Max Romeo With Our Latest Playlist

Posted on by swadedavillain

On April 11, the world lost another legend. The news of Reggae Icon Max Romeo’s passing was definitely a shock to many, and tributes were quickly made public. Since the 1960s, Romeo defined an era where he delivered songs that stood out from the pack, with lyrics that have inspired generations of Artists, and caused bans and censorships. He became a dominant force, and he never backed down from whatever or whoever stood in the way. He is a legend, will be missed by many, and his legacy will be carried on by his children, and those who have joined his movement. We pay tribute to him with our latest Playlist, “Sampling Max Romeo“.

Featuring a few tracks, we showcase not only some of Max Romeo’s works, but Artists in Hip Hop, Pop, EDM, and Reggae who have sampled his music on the “Sampling Max Romeo” Playlist. Many of us know Jay Z’s “Lucifer” that sampled “Chase The Devil“, but we’re using this time to highlight even more. Hopefully there will be more who will sample his work in the future, just make sure the business is handled well with his family. Salute to the late Max Romeo. Max Romeo 4Eva!

.@FiveSteez, Sly Rankin Speak On The “Wild Jamaicans From Kingston”

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s been a while since the world has heard from Five Steez. When he wasn’t busy making music, he has been putting the running shoes on overtime, being a part of daily runs, and participating in a few marathons. The time has come for him to get off the track, and focus on this new track called, “Wild Jamaicans From Kingston“.

Produced by Inztinkz and featuring Sly Rankin, Five Steez delivers some commentary on his Island home in, “Wild Jamaicans From Kingston”. The Rappers shed a light on the craziness that gets highlighted on Prime Time News, providing views that elude a few Tourists who only see the Resorts and white sand beaches. They talk about the crime, the body counts, the protests, and the drama, but it’s still home regardless. Production borrows vocals from Hip Hop Icon Nas’ “Thief’s Theme“, and Inztinkz gives the beat a feel that you can’t help but rock to while Steez and Sly paint the pictures. They say there a few types of Jamaica, this is just one of them.
