Freedom sweet, ain’t it? Vybz Kartel has been enjoying it like never before. Currently in the England, the Deejay has been on a comeback journey since July 31, 2024, and he’s just getting started. A welcome back Concert, new singles, reconnecting with many, and enjoying life and love, he is grateful. Speaking of reconnecting, he did just that recently with the legendary Busta Rhymes, and earlier they released the new collaboration called, “Crazy“.

Produced by Hitmaker and featuring the legendary Akon, Busta Rhymes and Vybz Kartel solidify their friendship even more, and gave us another collaboration in, “Crazy”. Busta gives us some of his signature bars while Akon shows why he is in the league of greats, and Vybz shares his new and positive outlook on life, with the declaration that “God is the greatest”. The last time Busta and Vybz collaborated was on “The Don & The Boss” from 2021, so them being in the same space together for this new track was nothing short of a blessing. Remember when Vybz remixed Akon’s hit single “Locked Up“? Good times. Here’s to more collaborations.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today (January 17), we celebrate the birthday of a giant, a column, and a King of Dancehall, Shabba Ranks. The Man born Rexton Gordon made significant contributions to the genre, with a few extras. Shabba was not only a huge earner for Dancehall Music in the 90s and successfully crossed over to the International market, but was the first Deejay to score GRAMMY awards. He paved the way for a number of Artists, scored a national honour for his work, and is still celebrated today. Today, we recognize his 59th birthday, and celebrate his catalogue with our latest Playlist.

In our “Sampling Shabba Ranks” Playlist, we shed a light on the number of times Dancehall legend Shabba Ranks has been sampled. There was been a number of times from Hip Hop, to Pop, to Electronic Music where the Deejay has been sampled, and we’re taking the time to not only highlight, but educate on how far this Dancehall music has gotten in the world. Did you know that he was sampled by Alanis Morrissette, one of the 90s biggest Artists? Did you also know that he was the inspiration behind one of the biggest musical genres in Latin America? Let this Playlist aid you in your quest to learn more about Shabba Ranks if you’re not familiar.

.@Wretch32 Takes Over Masicka’s “Whites” For New Freestyle

Posted on by swadedavillain

You can’t deny it, Masicka’s “Whites” was one of the biggest Dancehall songs of 2024. The Dan Sky Records/Attomatic Records-produced track on the “Rooster Riddim” was everywhere, and continues to penetrate the streets. The track was loved by many, including UK Rapper Wretch 32. He loved it so much, that recorded a Freestyle over it.

For a little over a minute, Wretch 32 exits the G-Wagon to share a few bars over the Instrumental of Masicka’s “Whites” single. Tapping in with his Jamaican roots throughout, Wretch lets the people know he’s still a problem with the bars, and his flow is solid. The veteran Hip Hop/Grime Artist has been in the game for almost 20 years, and still has a presence that is respected. Given all the love that “Whites” has gotten, don’t be surprised if more Artists took a crack at the Riddim. Keep the flame burning Wretch 32.

Posted on by swadedavillain

When the holidays come around, many look forward to reuniting with loved ones, and making memories together. On the other side of the coin, there are many who mourn the absence of loved ones. Whether they’re lost through breakups or death, the holidays hit hard for some. For UK Artist Konan of Krept & Konan, not having certain loved ones around is painful. On “Delroy’s Son“, he has a conversation with one very special person.

In a video co-directed by Konan and Don Prod, Konan pulls up to have a conversation with his late Father, Delroy Wilson in “Delroy’s Son”. The video starts with Konan visiting his Father’s community, then sharing some words at memorial service, and during a Therapy session. He expresses how life is without his Father and how much he means to him, but shares that he has found success for himself, gives him his flowers, and assures that he will do in part in continuing the Wilson legacy. For those unfamiliar, Konan is the youngest son of Delroy Wilson, who was Jamaica’s first child star, and a legend in Ska, Reggae, and Rocksteady. Wilson was known for the hits, “Have Some Mercy“, “Better Must Come“, “Cool Operator“, “The Last Thing On My Mind“, and a cover of The Wailers’ “I’m Still Waiting“. “Delroy’s Son” is featured on Krept & Konan’s “Young Kingz 2“, which will be released on February 7, 2025. Long live Delroy Wilson.
