.@NickiMinaj Samples Danny Browne’s “Filthy Riddim” On New Banger, “Megatron”!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Nicki Minaj is looking to cause problems with new music! While she has been enjoying the success of her “Queen” album, and promoting it worldwide, she’s looking to take over this summer with the new single, “Megatron“! While she kicks things off with a Mike Ho directed video, a familiar Jamaican Riddim can be heard throughout the Pop Wansel and NOVA Wav production. It is none other than Jamaican Producer Danny Browne’s “Filthy Riddim“! Released in 1998 through his Mainstreet Records, it is one of the latest Dancehall Riddims to have enjoyed sampling by a huge International Artist (In 2016, Richie Stephens’ “Sail Away Riddim” was sampled on Rihanna’s hit, “Work“!).

Deejay Shabba Ranks’ “Ting A Ling” was also sampled on “Megatron”. The track was released in 1992, and produced by Production duo Steely & Clevie (Who is Danny’s brother by the way) on the “Gi-Gi Riddim“. Knowing Nicki Minaj’s pull, expect “Megatron” to be streamed millions of times. Danny Browne’s “Filthy Riddim” featured the hits, “Heads High” by Mr. Vegas, “Breeze Off” by Lady G., and General Degree’s “Traffic Blocking“. Stay tuned to the Blog for a follow up Article.

Take A Trip Into @DiEnergist’s Mind On “Psycho”!

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s been a while since we’ve seen and heard Kyng Tavii. While he has since done away with Comedy and dabbled a little in music, he was M.I.A. for a bit. Having been one of the early adopters of the Social Media Comedy lane in Jamaica, a week wouldn’t pass where he didn’t have a crazy skit posted online (like this one). Today, he gets on his music ting with the visual for, “Psycho (stream here)“! Handling the directorial duties with creative direction by Noel Smith, viewers are taken inside Kyng Tavii’s mind as he lets us know some of the things that pop up in there, and what he has been going through. While he’s living in his thoughts, he shares the ups and downs of fame, failing friends, and being his own friend. Take care of your Mental Health! We hope this is the start of more content from him.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Slowing down is something that you can’t find rising Recording Artist Royal Blu doing anytime soon. While he has been making moves over recent years, 2019 has been very promising so far. Since we’ve featured him as an Artist to watch, he has been adding fuel to his “El Fuego” alias and dropping nothing but fire. While we finally got the long anticipated visual for “Meanwhile” with Leno Banton, he fed his hunger for more by popping up on various collabs, and dropping the “Style and Pattern” single and video (which boasts an all Jamaican production and raises the bar). Today, he goes up a few levels with the new track, “Hype“! Produced by longtime collaborator J.L.L. and released through Delicious Vinyl Island, Royal Blu fixes his crown and gets at naysayers who throw the term “hype” to his name as he’s more of a “hype with substance” type of person, and stays true to himself and those who know him. Many have stepped in his way to downplay his talent and determination, but frankly they’re not in his league, and he strives for quality and all that comes with it.

It’s a case of the “Damned if you do, damned if you don’t“, but Royal Blu doesn’t make much bother him as he sings to his own tune, and creates dope things. With an EP on the way to follow up his “sinG with God” project, if you didn’t know him before, now you know! With artwork provided by Ikem Smith, just stay tuned to see what else Royal Blu has rolled up his sleeve. For now, check out the track below and share with a friend.

.@ShenYeng Links Up With @Tyga On @Rvssian Produced, “Blessed”!

Posted on by swadedavillain

While everyone was going crazy over Shenseea’s Instagram post last week, she has been staying busy with new music and being the best (best, best, best, best…). For those who had headaches over it (or shedding tears lol), the post was a screenshot from her upcoming video with US Rapper Tyga, “Blessed“! With production from Rvssian and the video shot by Arrad in Montego Bay, we’re in for another Shen Yeng summer as this sounds like a track that will be heard everywhere! With word that Shenseea has inked a deal with a Interscope Records/Rich Immigrants, she will be crossing over in a big way. This isn’t Tyga’s first time getting into some Dancehall as he made an attempt on the single, “1 of 1“. This may be the one to do numbers since his return with “Taste” and “Dip“, and redeem his Jamaican side a lil.

Ah Shenseea (Ra ta ta ta ta ta ta)! Check out the video below, and share with a friend. Show us some love/follow us on Twitter and Instagram on @13thStreetPromo.
