Posted on February 21, 2015 by swadedavillain

Busy Signal is all about the social media “linkage” in his latest tune. Titled “Whatsapp“, this borrows the instrumental from Byron Lee & The Dragonaires’ “Tiney Winey” and Busy Signal speaks on his escapades with the ladies through the various social networks that he uses. A hot single here as I heard it numerous times before its release. A perfect song to add to your Dancehall and Soca playlists. R.I.P. Byron Lee.

NEW MUSIC: @DavianahMusic – Music Madness

Posted on February 19, 2015 by swadedavillain

Aiming to break out of the monotony today is singer Davianah with her latest single. Titled “Music Madness” and produced by Mark “Genaral” Thompson for Thompson House Music, Davianah gets at artists who fail to bring more positive subject matter to their audience and break out of the continuous stream of sexually charged lyrics being played on the airwaves. She also warns that the youths are listening to them and they are not setting a great example for them to follow. Davianah delivers on this one as this is a song you should keenly listen to. While it is true many of us listen and enjoy the sexually charged lyrics, at times we must make room for more positive lyrics and guide the youth along the way. Don’t turn the music to madness. Check out the track below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

Posted on February 17, 2015 by swadedavillain

After announcing last week that he’s releasing a full project titled “9 More Dreams“, Sons Of Liberty’s The Therapist released the first single tonight. Titled “Ego” and produced by King Biggs, Therapist speaks on the part ego plays when he’s pursuing and dealing with females. Biggs’ production here reminds me a little of The Neptunes’ own but Therapist handles his own on this and makes it a fun a first single. Expect a visual featuring party patrons dancing in slow mo while The Therapist walks through them and rapping (right?). What do you think? 9 More Dreams drops on February 28.

Today’s Oldies Sunday selection comes from Reggae Musician, Errol Dunkley. Titled “Black Cinderella“, this was produced by Jimmy Rodway for Fe Me Time Records in 1972. Errol considered it a tribute to hard working black women, but it sounded more like a love song than the aforementioned idea. The creation for this came about when Jimmy introduced Errol to one of his poems of the same name. After some adjustments, Errol recorded the single and it immediately became a hit in a time of Black Empowerment.
