Tony Matterhorn’s “Dutty Wine” Sampled On @RoyWoods’ New “X” Album

Posted on by swadedavillain


Jamaica has been the topic of discussion these past few days. From celebrating her 64th Independence, to New York hosting its first Jamaica-themed day parade, to her exports making things happen in music, sports and more, Jamaica is always a vibe. Toronto Recording Artist Roy Woods knows she’s a vibe as well. Recently, he released his latest album, “X“. Released through Drake’s OVO Sound, the Singer looks to take back his spot with 10 new tracks that aim to keep the listener in a groove. Having a Caribbean background, he tapped into a sound for one of the tracks, and many of us would instantly recognize it.

On track 7 of Roy Woods’ new “X” album called “Set Fire“, Dancehall Selector/Recording Artist Tony Matterhorn’s classic single “Dutty Wine” was sampled. Produced by Di Genius, a sample of the track’s Instrumental dominates the uptempo selection along with references to the “Dutty Wine” dance and lyrics. “Dutty Wine” was produced by SupaHype on the “Smash Riddim” and released through Hyperactive Entertainment in 2006, and is Tony Matterhorn’s most successful single as it broke ground on the International market, and never left. The dance caused quite the controversy over the years, but was adopted by many, including US Recording Artist Beyonce, who performed in a number of her routines.

Roy Woods’ “X” album is out now.

Merkz Cruises Through The Summer In The “Big Beast”

Posted on by swadedavillain

May Pen-based Dancehall Artist Merkz has been burning up the scene since breaking out over the past few months. While some of his peers are dominating, his patience and determination paid off well for him in 2026. The Summer has seen him take on stages and do numbers online, and while he has a lot more to conquer, he’s cruising in the “Big Beast“, and staying focused.

Produced by Johnny Wonder/Adde Instrumentals, Merkz brings Summer party energy with “Big Beast”. Money is still the mission, and when he wins, he celebrates in a big way. As his profile continues to grow, don’t size up to him as his movement expands to more parts of the world. He’s in celebratory mode in a Simeon Di Great-directed music video. Whether he’s in the streets of May Pen, or popping bottles in the club with Skeng, his people are near, the ladies are present, and the money is flowing. It’s Merkz SZN, yuh deaf?

OLDIES SUNDAY: Louie Lepkie – Fi We Country (1982)

Posted on by swadedavillain

August 6 is recognized as Jamaica’s Independence Day. On that day in 1962, Jamaica made the separation from being a British colony, to being its own Country. We’re still celebrating 64 years later, and on “Oldies Sunday“, we bring you the music that taps into that vibe. We go back in time to check out Louie Lepkie’s “Fi We Country“.

Produced by Niney The Observer on the “Heavenless Riddim” and released through Hit Bound/Channel One Records in 1982, Louie Lepkie paid tribute to his Island home in, “Fi We Country”. Listeners then would enjoy the references to some of the Jamaican products and resources, including the then JBC TV, the Nation’s official Television station which is now known as Television Jamaica (TVJ), and shouting out the late Bob Marley and the late Barry G. “Fi We Country” gained attention when it was released, and was well-received. The track was featured on Lepkie’s 1982 album “Willie Red“.

Since the release of “Fi We Country”, Louie Lepkie went on to release more music, and perform with various Sound Systems. He would tragically lose his life in 1987 in New York, but his music would live on. Many still remember “Fi We Country”, and many of his other releases.

THANK YOU LOUIE LEPKIE FOR THIS HIT!

No matter what is made at the end of day, it’s progress. He speaks on what many go through when they’re down on their luck, and encourages them to stay focused because all that you deserve will come in due time. He takes it to the streets in a DuckieGotFilms-directed music video, and highlights some of those who are on the grind daily, earning their bread.
