.@FiveSteez, @SonRaw Release “Simple Man” Ahead Of Upcoming Collab Album

Posted on by swadedavillain

For those who’re unaware, Jamaica has a Hip Hop culture that is very active. Some of your favourite Dancehall/Reggae Artists started out as Rappers, or have been heavily influenced by the music. While some of the output reflects on some of the trendy singles and Artists out, there is a sector that respects the elements of the culture, with emphasis on the lyrics. Enter Five Steez who is no stranger on this platform, and has been active on the scene for close to two decades. With a new album on the way, he fires off a single called, “Simple Man“.

Produced by Son Raw, Five Steez does some reminiscing on “Simple Man”. He reflects on some of the experiences good and bad, but also shares some aspects of his day to day life. At the end of the day, he wants to be better, be in better situations, and just live well at that. He taps into his signature delivery here, and the Jazz-influenced sample helps him to get his points across. Five Steez and Son Raw’s “Simple Man” is a track off of their upcoming collaborative project called, “re:DEFined” which is set to be released on July 11 on Bandcamp, and on July 25 on all digital music streaming platforms. Tune in!

.@Skillibeng Gets Featured On @Coi_Leray’s New “Coi” Album

Posted on by swadedavillain

US Recording Artist Coi Leray has positioned herself to becoming one of the hottest acts to emerge on the scene in the past few years. With a few hits already, her place is secured, and she will continue journey to even more success. She adds to her growing discography with her much-anticipated new album, “Coi“.

The 16 track album features Coi Leray’s signature vibe and sound, but she tapped in a little on the Caribbean side when she recruited Dancehall Artist Skillibeng for the track, “Radioactive“. Produced by Johnny Goldstein, the uptempo track brings out rapid deliveries from the Artists, with Skilli sprinkling some of the E-Syde badness throughout. Skillibeng continues to keep his name relevant overseas thanks to live performances and collaborations, and on Sunday (June 25), he joined Hip Hop legend Busta Rhymes on stage at the 2023 BET Awards. Congrats to Skillibeng on another International collaboration.

.@Aidonia4thGenna Takes A “Gadly” Stance In New Video

Posted on by swadedavillain

It has been a year for Dancehall Artist Aidonia. He has experienced some pains, and is slowly on the mend. Despite that, he is still celebrated around the world, and we hope it has given him a well needed boost. Getting back to business, he releases the visual for the track, “Gadly“.

Produced by Banga House MG and Crash Dummy, Aidonia steps out with guns loaded, and feeling “Gadly”. We get hints of a younger Donia who was armed to the teeth with gun lyrics, and only time will tell if that side will come back in a big way. On the new track however, he calmly holds his stance like a seasoned General at war, whose aim is to seek and destroy. The Shane Creative-directed video finds him among some of his people, ready for whatever.

“Gadly” is expected to appear on Aidonia’s upcoming “Occupied Mind: The Project“, which will be released later this year. If you want to take yourself back to those days when Donia was trigger happy on a track, check out our Aidonia Playlist here.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Earlier this year, US Recording Artist/Actress Janelle Monaé announced that she will be releasing her latest album, “The Age Of Pleasure“. Along with that came the single “Lipstick Lover“. While the racy visual showed another side of her, it contained the familiar sound of Dancehall Artist Mad Cobra’s 1992 hit, “Flex“. With the new album just released, a few more familiar sounds joined in.

On Janelle Monaé’s “The Age Of Pleasure” album, Jamaican Recording Artists Derrick Harriott, Barrington Levy, Sister Nancy, and Queen Patra all join Mad Cobra on a few tracks. On the 2nd track “Champagne S***“, Levy’s 1984 hit “Murderer” was sampled. The classic track also appears on the follow up track, “Black Sugar Beach“. “Murderer” was produced by Hyman Wright and Pat Chin, and released through the Grade One label. Sister Nancy’s 1982 hit “Bam Bam” was sampled on the track “Water Slide“. Patra’s “Whining Skill” from her 1993 debut album “Queen Of The Pack” was also sampled on the track. “Bam Bam” secures the title of the most sampled Jamaican song, and we have a Playlist and a few words about it here. Sister Nancy is also a featured Artist, appearing on the track, “French 75“. “Whining” was produced by Tony “CD” Kelly and Clifton “Specialist” Dillon. The legendary Grace Jones also appears on the album as a featured Artist, delivering on “Oooh La La“. Coming to the closing of the album, Derrick Harriott’s 1967 classic, “The Loser” was sampled on the track, “Only Have Eyes 42“. The track was released through Crystal Records, and produced by Harriott. Many have speculated that Monaé would have Jamaican influences on her new album, and what was brought forward did not disappoint.
