.@FiveSteez Links Up With French Producer @JZenMusic On The “Pantone” Project!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Five Steez continues his grind, and is expanding his global reach. Recently, he teamed up with French Producer J-Zen to give listeners the “Pantone” project! Featuring 4 tracks, Five Steez tackles various topics and beats, and if you feel you can add a few bars to the tracks, the Instrumentals are added to the project for you to vibe to.

Though Five Steez favours the older Rap styles from the 90’s, you won’t find him competing with Trap Rappers or Mumble Rappers anytime soon. That’s all good however, as he aims to give listeners something to enjoy and not conform to what’s popping out there. R.I.P. France Nooks.

.@DanielCaesar Calls Up @OriginalKoffee For The “Cyanide Remix”!

Posted on by swadedavillain

They have been touring together this year, but Daniel Caesar and Koffee finally made a song together! While “Cyanide” has been making its rounds since its release, Koffee now adds her flair to the remix! Produced by Matthew Burnett and Jordan Evans, it’s the Jamaica/Canada link up that you need! With Kardinal Offishall and River Tiber’s original contribution intact, the whole track feels like a chill Sunday afternoon after having that good ole Jamaican dinner that consists of Rice and Peas, Brown Stew Chicken, and a glass of fresh fruit juice.

Daniel Caesar continues his rounds with material from his latest project, “Case Study 01“, and shows off his Jamaican influences in everything he does. Koffee on the other hand, continues her amazing run by performing at various events, and giving people that good music. We look forward to more collabs from them.

.@TootsMaytals’ “Pressure Drop” Featured In New @CoorsLight Commercial!

Posted on by swadedavillain

When you’ve had a long day on the road or at work, there’s nothing better than coming home to relax. We have many ways to relax, we fall asleep immediately on the couch or bed, we take a bath or shower, or we get some wine or beer. In Beer giant Coors’ latest Commercial for their Light Beer, one woman not only cracks a can of Beer to relax, but she takes off her Bra! While many women can relate to letting the Tatas be free, we recognized the Commercial’s soundtrack, “Pressure Drop” by the legendary Toots & The Maytals! Released in 1969, this was produced by Leslie Kong and featured on the Band’s “Monkey Man” (1970) and “From The Roots” (1973) albums. The song helped Toots & The Maytals gain International recognition as it was featured in the classic Film, “The Harder They Come” (which was recently released on Blu-ray).

A song about revenge, but in the form of Karma, “Pressure Drop” became one of Toots & The Maytals’ most memorable singles, and was included in Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Songs Of All Time” list at #453. It was also featured in the soundtrack for “Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas“. Relax and check out the Commercial below, and share with a friend.
