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.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Papa Reu Ft. Lil Keke – Diamonds And Pearls (2000)

Posted on by swadedavillain

The Caribbean has created, and dabbled in various musical genres over the decades, and they have turned into hits, or significant moments in the culture. There used to be a demographic that frowned upon the idea of Caribbean Artists doing Hip Hop Music, but over the years it has become the norm, with hits being made from some of the releases. For today’s Oldies Sunday selection, we highlight an Artist who used his Caribbean background to be a part of Hip Hop History. Hailing from Trinidad & Tobago, his name is Papa Reu, and we look back his track, “Diamonds And Pearls“.

Released through Reu Muzik in 2000 and featuring Houston Rap legend Lil Keke, Papa Reu had the ladies in mind for his single, “Diamonds And Pearls”. With Reu’s blend of Hip Hop and Dancehall deliveries, he melodically shares that he will provide a life filled love, happiness, loyalty, and splendour for the lady who falls for him, while Keke outlines in intentions in his segment. The production samples Evelyn “Champagne” King’s 1982 hit “Love Come Down“. “Diamonds And Pearls” became a hit for Papa Reu in various parts of the U.S. including Houston, Texas where he was based, and was featured on his 2000 debut album, “Xcuse Me!“, and Lil Keke’s “From Coast To Coast” project.

Since the release of “Diamonds And Pearls”, Papa Reu became a name etched in the History of Southern Hip Hop. He released more music over the years, and with his blend of Dancehall and Hip Hop, he was featured on a number of tracks with the likes of 504 Boyz, Lil Wayne, Juvenile, 8Ball & MJG, Rick Ross, Solange Knowles, Chamillionaire, Scarface, and many more. He was also signed to the legendary Cash Money Records for a number of years. Many still remember and play “Diamonds And Pearls”.

Thank You Papa Reu For This Hit!

Dawn Penn & @WhoIsBEAM Sampled For @OffsetYRN’s “Set It Off” Album

Posted on by swadedavillain

Earlier today, Atlanta Hip Hop Artist Offset released his sophomore album called, “Set It Off“. The former Migos member made it a mission to further prove that he can hold his own as a solo Artist, and connect with more people and markets. The 21 track album has something for everyone, but one track stood out with familiar sounds.

On track 3 of Offset’s “Set It Off” album called “Worth It“, the track starts off with the familiar sound of the 1994 classic “You Don’t Love Me (No No No)” by Reggae Artist Dawn Penn, and the rest had the sound of US-based Recording Artist BEAM and Producer ChaseTheMoney’s new single, “Understand“. “Worth It” was produced by Heavy Mellow and ChaseTheMoney, and featured Singer/Rapper Don Toliver. The classic “Wake the town and tell the people” opener was performed by the late U-Roy for his 1971 single “Wake The Town“, and was sampled for Dawn Penn’s hit, which went on to become a Gold-selling classic, and sampled by many over the years. “Understand” sampled the 1976 classic “Sweet Green Fields” by Seals & Crofts, which was also sampled for Rapper Busta Rhymes’ 1997 classic “Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See“. For those unfamiliar, BEAM has been on the scene for a number of years, and is the son of former Dancehall Artist-now Gospel Artist/Minister Papa San. Offset’s “Set It Off” album is out now!

Get A Taste Of @ShenYeng & @TheeStallion’s “Lick” Single

Posted on by swadedavillain

2022 may have started off in a not so great way (Covid is doing numbers still, stay safe!), but we give thanks for new music, right? Making a splash here today, is the combination of Dancehall star Shenseea, and US Rapper Megan Thee Stallion as they deliver a song that will stir up a few conversations. Today we hear the track, “Lick“.

A collaboration that was anticipated since the two met, Shenseea and Megan Thee Stallion made a bold step with the release of “Lick”, which was produced by Murda Beatz. With the topic of Oral Sex still finding its balance in Jamaica, the ladies made it very clear what they require from their lovers on the track. Shenseea borrows the hook from Trini Icon Denise Belfon’s “Work”, which was remixed and became very popular on Social Media thanks to a series of wining videos. While the song may rub some the wrong way, others may just find this to be a great addition to their Playlists.

As Shenseea continues to find her place on the International market thanks to collabs with Tyga, Masego, and Kanye West, and various celebrities endorsing her, expect “Lick” to become more than trending topic on Twitter. This isn’t Meg’s first collab with Caribbean Artists as she previously joined Popcaan on “Intercourse“, and Cardi B on the infamous “WAP” single. How about iShawna on the remix?
