Posted on by swadedavillain

For all the TV junkies, a new show has emerged, and we know you’ll tune in. Recently, Amazon premiered their new series, “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” on their Prime Video platform. Inspired by the 2005 Film starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, the series stars Actor/Producer/Recording Artist Donald Glover a.k.a. Childish Gambino, and Actress/Writer Maya Erskine who play Assassins/Secret Agents for an organization under the cover of a married couple. The Spy Comedy/Action series has been anticipated for quite some time, its soundtrack features some great tracks. In a couple episodes of season 1, familiar music from Jamaica was featured.

In Episodes 2 and 3 of “Mr. & Mrs. Smith”, “Pearls” by the late Vocalist Alton Ellis, and “Dream Girl/Girl Of My Dreams” by Reggae Singer Cornel Campbell were played in a couple scenes respectively. “Pearls” was produced by “Sir Coxsone” Dodd for Studio One, and featured on Ellis’ 1969 “The Best Of Alton Ellis” compilation. “Dream Girl/Girl Of My Dreams” was produced by Bunny “Striker” Lee, and released through the Jackpot label in 1972. “Girl Of My Dreams” was sampled by La Fine Equipe, and by Naomi Cowan for her hit single, “Paradise Plum“. Both songs are certified classics, and made for great additions for the “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” soundtrack, which also features other songs with love themes. If you haven’t been familiar with the new series, “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” is now available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

When it comes to Jamaican Singers, many names are called. One you should always put on a list is Ghost. For over 30 years, he has provided a style that instantly caught on with listeners, and is still very active on the scene. Last year, he teamed up with Bounty Killa for the single, “Despite It All“. Recently, he shared the official Music Video.

Co-directed by Ghost and Rayebann Entertainment, Ghost and Bounty share some motivating lyrics in “Despite It All”. The video stars Internet sensation Evy Royal, and Geezy B from Pelpa Time TV, and the video highlights people who work everyday to provide for their family, despite the challenges they face from the people who hold positions as leaders and bosses. Despite it all, they are looking for better days, and success that will take them out of their struggles. Ghost and Bounty provide a powerful song, and we hope it connects with the right people. To those in the struggle, keep your head up.

Skeng Looks To Shake Up Dancehall With “24”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Dancehall Artist Skeng is ready to turn things up a notch this year. With his numbers and fanbase growing at a rapid rate, we expect a lot more from the Deejay. In his words, he wants to shake up Dancehall. Earlier he released, “24“.

Over the “Chaka Riddim” produced by DJ Mac and Crash Dummy Productions, Skeng has the guns loaded, the Ratty Gang near, and a lot of badness ready to unleash on his opps. Skeng is as raw as he can be, and he sounds like he’s ready for whatever. The energy intensifies in the JordanStamina-directed video as he’s surrounded by his crew, a couple bad gyals, and plenty weapons to show that he means business. The “Chaka Riddim” continues to gain popularity, and Skeng might take it to another level with his single. Ratty Gang is the army.

Dancehall Artist Roze Don has been steadily keeping his name hot on the scene thanks to his growing number of singles. While things look up for him on the music end, he still needs to pay the bills.

In the Bankroller Visuals/ShotByDeth-directed clip, Roze Don is making ends meet as a Taxi Driver in “One & Ready”. When it comes to his passengers, his vehicle only accommodates sexy ladies, and a lot is going where that is concerned in the video. “One & Ready” was produced by DethWrld Records, and is featured on the “Rockabye Riddim“. Roze Don seems to be a popular driver on the routes, and there are no complaints as it’s a fun time every time he picks up his passengers. Ready to roll? The Taxi is ready to go!

OLDIES SUNDAY: Aston “Family Man” Barrett – Soul Constitution (1971)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Before we start off today’s Oldies Sunday, we want to send our condolences to the families of the late Alan Magnus, and the late Aston “Family Man” Barrett who made their transitions over the weekend. May their legacies live on.

On Oldies Sunday, we’ve highlighted many who have made the music we love. From Vocalists to Musicians, they have provided sounds and vibes beyond our imaginations, scoring hits, and faves in the process. Today, we highlight a Musician who was the backbone of a few important Bands in Jamaican Music. His name is Aston Barrett, many know him as “Family Man” Barrett, and we highlight his track, “Soul Constitution“.

Arranged by Aston Barrett and featuring Musician Glen Adams, “Soul Constitution” was released through the Star Apple label in 1971. The Instrumental track features Aston’s signature basslines, backing by additional Instruments, and a soulful vibe throughout that could easily be the theme music for a TV show. “Soul Constitution” was one of Barrett’s many productions, and was re-issued in 2016, and included in his 2016 album of the same name. It was also sampled on the 2007 track “Engine Running” by Hip Hop Artists Talib Kweli and Consequence, and Producer Madlib.

Aston “Family Man” Barrett was a member of Bob Marley & The Wailers, The Hippy Boys with Lloyd Charmers, the Barrett Brothers with his Brother Carlton, and The Upsetters with the late Lee “Scratch” Perry. He was a Producer who co-produced, engineered, and played on albums by Bob Marley & The Wailers, Judy Mowatt, Burning Spear, Keith Hudson, Augustus Pablo, Max Romeo, and many others including his own albums. He has been celebrated by many, and was recognized by legendary Musicians/Artists/Publications, and was awarded the Order of Distinction in 2021 during Jamaica’s National Honours and Awards. He was also highlighted in the upcoming “Bob Marley: One Love” Film played by his son, Aston Barrett Jr. Aston “Family Man” Barrett passed away on February 3, 2024, but left behind a legacy that will span generations, and like his nickname, a large family both biological and social.

Thank you Aston Barrett For Your Works. Sleep Well.
