Everton Thomas & The Pathfinders - Make A Joyful Noise Jamaica Music Gospel Music Blog 13thStreetPromotions 13thStreetPromo I Shall Make It Oldies Sunday Oldies 1978 Caribbean Pastor Everton Thomas

OLDIES SUNDAY: Everton Thomas & The Pathfinders – I Shall Make It (1978)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Providing a lil inspiration this Oldies Sunday, we’re going back to Church with Everton Thomas (Now Bishop Everton Thomas) & The Pathfinders! With all the craziness going on, we need a lil peace, and soothing sounds (and other types of sound that keeps you going). Going back to the year 1978, we check out, “I Shall Make It“.

Produced by Everton Thomas and Stephen Stewart, this Gospel track was released through the Growth Label. On the track, the Sextet consisting of Everton, Jenny Tracey, Juliet Thomas, Lorna Otto, Silbert Thomas Jr., and Sharon Thomas, they come together to assure us that no matter how challenging our journey and trials are, GOD is there every step of the way, and we will be taken care of. “I Shall Make It” was featured on the group’s album, “Make a Joyful Noise“, which was released in 1978 (re-released recently), and boasts almost all original material, and Funk, Soul, and Country influences, something that not many Gospel acts would delve into. Fun fact, the album features background vocals from “Jamaica’s Songbird” Karen Smith, and Cleveland Browne, 1/2 of the legendary Production duo, Steely & Clevie (he also played Drums on the album).

Since then, Everton Thomas & the Pathfinders disbanded. Everton went on to deliver God’s word at the Immanuel Apostolic Church, while the others continued to minister to people over the years. Carrying on the legacy of the group is Recording Artist Chris Malachi, who is doing pretty well for himself so far in spreading the Gospel (and talent).

We urge you to stay safe, quarantine wisely, and stay sanitized always.

The Sickest Drama - divine scholar Jamaica Hip Hop Music Blog 13thStreetPromotions 13thStreetPromo Caribbean Dahj Soundcloud Rapper Rap

.@TheSickestDrama Is A “Divine Scholar” On New Track

Posted on by swadedavillain

During this downtime, we may find ourselves either losing it a lil, or honing your craft. Rapper The Sickest Drama is working on the latter, and the result so far is the new track, “Divine Scholar“.

Featuring production from Recording Artist/Producer Dahj, TSD gets complicated with the bars, and is sure to grab your attention like a jump scare in a Horror Movie. Never one to keep it simple, TSD plays around with the Metaphors and rhyme schemes making it known that he’s ready for whatever. For those familiar with him, this is just playtime. For others, they might have to rethink going against him. With Dahj’s production however, “Divine Scholar” makes for a fun listen.

Entertainers Link Up To Feed The Homeless On Easter Sunday

Posted on by swadedavillain

The Covid 19 pandemic may have put a stop to a lot of activities, but it could never stop the various acts of kindness. On Sunday April 12 (Easter Sunday), Natural Bond Entertainment teamed up with Sponge Music and the Bad Ras Movements to feed the homeless in Mandeville, Manchester.

While various parts of Jamaica are still being worked on to provide safe havens for the less fortunate on the street, the Entertainers which included the “Rum Boss” Lybran and Kyng Sameer, gathered hot meals, cold drinks, and even some Bun and Cheese as a way of giving back, and to show that good deeds will never cease, even during a pandemic. The Covid 19 pandemic has so far seen 72 positive cases as of Sunday, with 16 recoveries and hundreds of samples being collected for testing.

Along with their acts of kindness, the Bad Ras Movements will be kicking off their “Corona Monday” Easter Fest on April 13. Starting at 8 PM, they will go live through their Facebook and Instagram pages where they will be playing the hits, and provide some well needed positive energy. A special performance by Lybran is scheduled to happen as well, along with a few surprises. We advise everyone to stay safe during this pandemic, abide by the rules, and don’t shy away from being kind today.
