OLDIES SUNDAY: Josey Wales – Leggo Mi Hand Gateman (1983)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today’s Oldies Sunday selection highlights one of Dancehall’s greatest foundation artists, “The Outlaw” Josey Wales (Happy belated Birthday)! When you talk about “run Dancehall“, he was one of the artists who made it possible. We go back to the 80s to check out, “Leggo Mi Hand Gateman“.

Produced by Henry “Junjo” Lawes on the popular “Golden Hen Riddim” and released through the Volcano label in 1983, Josey Wales gives an account of entering a street dance in Clarendon one night. Acknowledging that he was taking a young lady out for some fun, he was dealing with some opposition before entering the dance, and gives details on what happened. “Leggo Mi Hand Gateman” became one of Josey Wales’ biggest hits, and is still a crowd pleaser to this day. The single was featured on Josey’s 1983 album, “The Outlaw“. Since his hit, Josey Wales went on to influence generations of Dancehall artists, deliver more hits, and was even awarded the Order of Distinction by the Government of Jamaica in October 2017. Real legend.

.@RxpFlo Makes A Statement With His Debut EP, “Trap Island”!

Posted on by swadedavillain

The Trap Hip Hop movement has been a huge influence since its debut over a decade ago. In recent years, it has touched the Jamaican music scene, and lent some of its influence to the Dancehall and growing Jamaican Hip Hop movements. With artists like Aidonia, BakerSteez, Tommy Lee Sparta, and Rygin King showcasing different styles, newer artists like Rxp Flo stepped up to bring more strength to the new Jamaican Trap movement. Recently, he took his career to the next level with the release of his debut EP, “Trap Island“!

Consisting of 4 tracks, Rxp Flo has been on the scene building a buzz and collecting a steady following in the process. The release of his EP shows that he’s about business, and will not stop till he’s one of the top artists doing it. It has been a easy road, but he is determined to make it. The EP features production from Metro 17 and Riot Records. “Making this EP helped me realized that not everything will go your way, it doesn’t mean you should give up though. Always move forward regardless,” shared Rxp Flo. “I had lots of down time while working on this EP, but I was at my happiest when I was at the studio writing and recording. I made new friends along the way, but I’ve also seen people I considered friends show me their true colours. These experiences helped me put together a great project, and I wouldn’t change a thing because I was given lessons on patience, dedication, and learning to make my own moves.

The Jamaican Hip Hop movement is still growing, and we look forward to your support with these artists on the rise. Check out Rxp Flo’s “Trap Island” below, and share with a friend. Show us some love/follow us on Twitter and Instagram at @13thStreetPromo.

Lutan Fyah Steps Out With New Single For @LKReggae’s Upcoming EP!

Posted on by swadedavillain

US/Jamaica based Production company Lustre Kings Productions is getting ready to touch the world with some great music. With all that’s going on in the world, they look to provide some healing, entertainment, and consciousness with the release of their upcoming EP, “Star Chile“. With a blend of Reggae, Afrobeats, and Dancehall paired with some of the best voices in the business, the EP promises to be a favourite for many. Kicking off the EP’s rollout is the legendary Lutan Fyah with the track, “No Selfie“.

On the track, Lutan Fyah announces that he is only here for real people, no time for facades and false lifestyles. “Social media tends to have us believing in what we see online and on people’s profiles. That is not necessarily real life. I want to encourage people to know themselves and keep it real. It is a metaphor for being honest and true to yourself.” shared Lutan Fyah. Africa, Mr. Eazi a.k.a. “Star Boy“, and the “Voodoo Chile” Jimi Hendrix were all the inspirations behind the genesis of the “Star Chile Riddim“, the backbone of the “Star Chile EP” according to Andrew Moon Bain, one of the founding members of Lustre Kings Productions. Those elements pushed Andrew to do a deep dive, and emerge with the “Star Chile Riddim” which enlists the exceptional talents of Lutan Fyah, Pressure Busspipe, and Alandon. Consisting of 5 tracks, the EP will hit the streets on October 30 on all digital music streaming platforms through Easy Star Records.
