Dawn Penn & @WhoIsBEAM Sampled For @OffsetYRN’s “Set It Off” Album


Earlier today, Atlanta Hip Hop Artist Offset released his sophomore album called, “Set It Off“. The former Migos member made it a mission to further prove that he can hold his own as a solo Artist, and connect with more people and markets. The 21 track album has something for everyone, but one track stood out with familiar sounds.

On track 3 of Offset’s “Set It Off” album called “Worth It“, the track starts off with the familiar sound of the 1994 classic “You Don’t Love Me (No No No)” by Reggae Artist Dawn Penn, and the rest had the sound of US-based Recording Artist BEAM and Producer ChaseTheMoney’s new single, “Understand“. “Worth It” was produced by Heavy Mellow and ChaseTheMoney, and featured Singer/Rapper Don Toliver. The classic “Wake the town and tell the people” opener was performed by the late U-Roy for his 1971 single “Wake The Town“, and was sampled for Dawn Penn’s hit, which went on to become a Gold-selling classic, and sampled by many over the years. “Understand” sampled the 1976 classic “Sweet Green Fields” by Seals & Crofts, which was also sampled for Rapper Busta Rhymes’ 1997 classic “Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See“. For those unfamiliar, BEAM has been on the scene for a number of years, and is the son of former Dancehall Artist-now Gospel Artist/Minister Papa San. Offset’s “Set It Off” album is out now!

“Iz You” The One For @TheAlkaline?


People have been saying that Dancehall Artist Alkaline fell off. According to the streams and sold out shows, he’s doing well at the moment. While they talk, he gets busy with the music. Earlier, he released the new single, “Iz You“.

Produced by Sartout Records and Autobamb Records, Alkaline reaches out to the ladies on “Iz You”. He has been handling business on previous releases, so now it’s time to get the ladies’ attention. Alka is still slick with the lyrics, taps into a lil R&B/Pop vibes here, and production will have some slow wining on the dance floor. Any time is a good time for some music by Alkaline, and we expect him to keep it consistent for the rest of the year. What has been your favourite Alkaline single for 2023 so far?

Valiant Remains Undeterred In “Beer & Salt”


Recently, members of the content creator/media world highlighted Dancehall Artist Valiant’s first performance in the US. Something that was to be applauded was met with public ridicule as the Deejay wasn’t captivating the audience as he should. These things happen to the best of them, and we believe he will win them over in future performances. Valiant remains as focused as ever however, and moves forward with the video for the new track, “Beer & Salt“.

Directed by KhingCam, Valiant uses the opportunity to clap back at the detractors, and those who pray for his downfall. Joined by a few friends including Jaii Frais and DJ Mac, the video showcases the gathering of friends for a good time, in between Valiant recording. “Beer & Salt” was produced by DJ Mac Music and Diplomats Records. With the year the Deejay has been having, one bad performance won’t slow down his progress. People will talk, let the success make them sick. Watch out for the Beer and Salt.

.@BaddaGeneral Tackles The Alice/Crab Controversy In “Inna E Soup”


Over the past few days, you may have heard “Alice“, “Nadine“, “Heroes Circle“, “Crab” and “Crab circle” mentioned all over Jamaican media. There are enough videos out talking about the controversial situation, so we’ll spare you that. Knowing how creative we can get, the situation has been parodied a number of times for Social Media. Enter Selector/Producer/Recording Artist Badda General who chimes in on the controversy with his track, “Inna E Soup“.

Known for cleverly covering current events in his music, Badda General questions the legitimacy of certain street food on “Inna E Soup”. The recent Heroes Circle Crab/Alice/Nadine controversy expelled some rather disgusting details, and Badda is seeking answers as to not put himself and others in poor health. Badda previewed his song on Social Media, and was given mostly positive feedback. While the situation is serious, the jokes have including his comical single, and will continue to fly. At this time however, we hope Nadine is safe and protected. Be careful out there.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Buccaneer – Bruk Out (@Rancid Remix) (1998)


Yesterday, we highlighted an Artist that released a Post-Punk single done in Patois. While we made the argument that Jamaicans are capable of doing anything including dabbling in musical genres that may be out of the norm, we wanted to drive that point even further for today’s Oldies Sunday selection. Today we feature Dancehall Artist/Producer Buccaneer’sBruk Out (Rancid Remix)“.

Produced by Punk Rock Band Rancid, Buccaneer’s “Bruk Out (Rancid Remix)” was released in 1998 through Main Street Records. The original “Bruk Out” was released in the same year, but was produced by Danny Browne on the “Heavy Metal Riddim“. The track was aimed for the ladies who carried themselves well in and out the streets, who oozed sex appeal, and stood out from the rest. The original version was a hit for Buccaneer, but the Rancid version helped to bring in a new audience for him locally and Internationally. Buccaneer previously dabbled in Opera, Pop, and Hip Hop tracks, so tapping into Rock/Punk Rock was normal for him. Both versions of “Bruk Out” were featured on the 1998 album “Da Opera“, and the Rancid version was featured on the “Give ‘Em The Boot II” compilation album by Hellcat Records.

Since the release of “Bruk Out (Rancid Remix)”, Buccaneer continued to have some success as an Artist and Producer over the years. He showed many to think outside of the box, and he is still recognized for his contributions. Time to bruk out bruk out!

Ever Heard Post-Punk In Patois? @TrxpGoth & Indie Anthony Give Us, “VEX”


Music is limitless, and when it comes to music taste, many are diverse in that field. While many would believe the Caribbean population only cares for the sounds of Reggae, Soca, Latin Music, Hip Hop, Afrobeats, R&B, and Pop in a sense, there are those who not only love, but dabbled in the fields of Heavy Metal, Rock, EDM, Trance, or even going back to the days of Disco to name a few. Enter Dxrkknght, a Florida-based Post-Punk Recording Artist who brings out his own wave of “Trap Goth” music. He also shares a Jamaican background. Why did we bring him up? Because he dropped a Post-Punk single called, “VEX“!

Done in collaboration with Jamaican-American Artist Indie Anthony and produced by GREYSKIES, we get a Post-Punk (also known as New Musick) song by Drkknght done entirely in Patois. “VEX” speaks about a friendship that became distant in a couple of ways, had disagreements, and everything has left one party feeling confused, and trying to find out what made things change. Hearing the Jamaican influence on something that many would refer to as a “White man thing” is not a new phenomenon as there are just as many Jamaican remixes to  almost any music out there, and many readers would be surprised at how far we’ve gone with it. Take one of our Oldies Sunday entries featuring legendary US-based Punk Rock band Bad Brains, or this one that helped to open the door for Japanese Dancehall, or even this Disco hit done by a Jamaican, and yes, Vybz Kartel dabbled in Rock too. We deh everyweh!

Drkknght looks to create a bigger presence with his Trap Goth, Alt Rock, and Dark Wave music to more parts of the world, and connect with new listeners, territories, and concepts. Tek in this one if you dare!
