@BlvkH3ro Promotes Love, Peace & Unity In “We All Are O.N.E.” Video!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recording Artist Blvk H3ro has been buzzing as of late. With his “Bussweh” movement, he has been treading near and far spreading good vibes, good music and of course his love for the herb. Over a year ago he introduced to the world his ReggaeSoul compilation, a collection of freestyles and singles that was streamed online. Today he fires off a visual for a standout from the collection titled “We All Are O.N.E.“. Directed by LatyKim and shot in various locations in Kingston including Paint Jamaica at 41 Fleet Street, Blvk H3ro hits the streets spreading positive energy and meeting up with his crew which includes fellow “Bussweh” members The Grei Show and Dennis Greatest. Adding smiles, unity, candid moments, and a “FullJoy” tee by Streetwear brand Massiv, H3ro not only gave you a good feeling while watching, but gave us two videos in one! While in part one we see H3ro trekking through the streets, part two shows the cast having fun with the camera. Smooth flows of a simple man speaking of simpler times. Catch ReggaeSoul and the video below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Directed by Sean Alaric and shot in Miami, Khxos continues to fire back at the haters and lets them know that he’s still making progress so they can continue being naysayers in the meanwhile.

@FiveSteez Shows Us The “Dirty Couch” In New Video!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Fresh off the release of his “HeatRockz” EP with Producer Mordecai Beats, Rapper Five Steez introduces his “Dirty Couch” to the world in his first visual off the project. Directed by Scotty DreamKiller with assistance from Dirx, Steez drops the bars you know in between crashing and pouring up some Dragon Stout on his couch. With the Yellow/Black colour being prevalent throughout the video, this gives the impression that Five Steez is paying homage to the Wu Tang Clan here. This video wouldn’t be the same if members of the First Coast didn’t show their face and had their share of Dragon Stout on the couch. HeatRockz is available now! Get familiar with the boom bap Rap by checking out the video below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

Deejay/Producer L. Razor Drops Shanti Riddim With All-Female Lineup!

Posted on by swadedavillain

New York based Jamaican Producer/Artist L Razor is upbeat ahead of his latest project, Shanti Riddim. Slated to be released on September 16 on his Straight Hit Records Imprint, the Riddim boasts an all-female cast. “This project has such a high expectation on it because of all the hard work it took to get eight great hard-working female Artists on one Riddim. The female Artists have been fighting for their place in the male-dominated Dancehall Industry. That is why I decided to put a stop to it and put the ladies on the forefront of Dancehall, so the Industry can be balanced properly,” said L Razor.

The acts featured on Shanti Riddim are Macka Diamond, Tiana, Candiesha, Sekklez, Beme Mystique, Trudiva, Semonita, and Rhythm Piink. The set will be available on all digital outlets. The producer said a medley video is in the works. “We’re set to drop two medley videos of all the Artists showcasing their songs. One medley was shot in New York, while the second is be shot in Jamaica next week,” he said.

L Razor (given name Sheldon Thomas) hails from Portmore in St Catherine. He migrated to the United States in 2000. As a Dancehall Deejay, he gained attention with Buss It Pon Dem in 2008. His other tracks include Mad A Road and Watch Me Nuh.

Directed by C.A.B Concepts, the video brings the song to life and shows everybody dancing and having a good time. Scenes from the video were shot in Cassava Piece to convey the authentic Jamaican Dancehall lifestyle and energy of the dancers.

Fans of the superstars were in for a treat on September 9, as the video premiered online exclusively on Youtube. “The sky is the limit for this song and video. We are optimistic that it will top charts globally and be the latest addition to the list of iconic dance moves from Jamaica.” said Bay-C. Although they have been working closely on this project and others, they have been working on their individual careers. Bay-C has the Better Must Come EP out now and he currently sits at number one on the MTV Urban Charts in Germany, while Shady Squad is currently conducting dance workshops in Europe and Icon has quite a few projects to be released.

GET TO KNOW: @AriezChromatic Of @ChromaticLive!

Posted on by swadedavillain

You may have heard of the “Tall Ras“, you may have enjoyed his DJ gigs whether he plays in the club, the street or at your favourite University, but what you know about DJ Ariez? Representing Clarendon, he has been in this DJ game for quite some time. While many may be familiar with his stint as a member of YxB (Youngest x Baddest), he has recently joined the ranks of Chromatic Sound and continues to keep your attention thanks to his collection of Mixtapes and live juggling. We had a chance to holla at the DJ and get his thoughts on his recent signing, thoughts on the Jamaican Entertainment Industry, plans for the future and more.

Words By: SwadeDaVillain x Sef_Jo

13thStreetPromotions: Greetings Ariez, pleasure to hear from you. Catch us up on the momentum you’ve been gaining recently. Fans would love to know about your recent game-changer, bring us into your shoes so we can know what the Chromatic experience is firsthand.

Ariez:  The momentum since the move is a little overwhelming as it is a huge step up in my DJing career. This new opportunity has granted me more work (more Mixtapes, DJ gigs etc.), access to a larger fan base, and more promotion for my brand. I am ever so grateful for all of this.

13thSP: Let’s not kid ourselves, to work with one of Jamaica’s current top selectors is a huge achievement. Did you always figure it would be Chromatic and if this doesn’t get you into too much trouble, were there any other prospects?
