Music From Toots & The Maytals, Byron Lee Featured In @RoofmanMovie

Posted on by swadedavillain

Have you watched any Movies lately? We’ve been catching up on a few recently including the Film, “Roofman“. “Roofman” is based on a true story and stars Channing Tatum, who plays the role of Jeffrey Manchester, a charismatic felon who while on the run, found refuge in a “Toys R Us” store, and adopted a new identity. The Film was released last month, and in the closing scenes, familiar sounds were heard.

In the final scenes of the Film, “Roofman”, music from Toots & The Maytals and Bryon Lee were featured. In one scene, “Happy Christmas” by Toots & The Maytals with Byron Lee & The Dragonaires was played, while Byron Lee & The Dragonaires’ version of “Auld Lang Syne” played in another. “Happy Christmas” was produced by Warrick Lyn and released in 1972 through the Jaguar label. Byron Lee’s “Auld Lang Syne” featured The SPM Singers, and was released in 1971 through Dynamic Sounds. Both music releases have found significant places in the music world, and continue to get played via streams and live events during the holiday season.

“Roofman” is out now on popular Video Streaming platforms, and select Theatres.

We Survived Hurricane Melissa!

Posted on by swadedavillain

As the title says, we survived Hurricane Melissa! October 2025 will be a month to remember as we’ve been on Hurricane Watch for a good part of the month, till Hurricane Melissa’s Category 5 ascension on the Island, and the aftermath that we’re currently dealing with. While this is not your typical post from us, we give thanks on behalf of many who have lived to tell the tale in not only Jamaica, but The Bahamas, Cuba, Hispaniola (Haiti/Dominican Republic), Turks & Caicos, and Bermuda, and we mourn those who passed away due to the event. The week before and after October 28, 2025 hasn’t been smooth sailing.

We are thankful for those who have been making efforts in the recovery process. Jamaicans locally and abroad have been rallying for help in cash and kind to support those who have suffered losses, and rebuild. We ask that you lend your support to the likes of SupportJamaica.gov.jm, and initiatives by the likes of X Users @BrayForJade, Jodi of WheresTheFoodJo’s “Cups Up“, Emma, @JsCallMeTee, Better Help, and many more. As power and certain resources are still major things in various parts of Jamaica, we’re also trying to help out a few families/individuals in our communities with necessities including Power Banks, Power Stations, Water, and even Supermarket Vouchers so they can secure a few items. If you wish, you can make a contribution to our Paypal here. Wherever and whoever you support during this time, THANK YOU in advance, a little goes a long way.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Ray I – Weatherman Skank (1977)

Posted on by swadedavillain

If you haven’t heard the news, Hurricane Melissa is upon us. For those in Jamaica, Haiti/Dominican Republic, Cuba, and surrounding areas/Islands, we urge you to please be safe. While we try to secure our belongings and sanity, we play music. How about something from “Oldies Sunday“? Today, we go back to the 70s to check out Ray I’s “Weatherman Skank“.

Produced by Carlton Patterson on the “Weatherman Skank Riddim“, and released through the Black & White Label in 1977, Ray I brings us the forecast for today, and everyday in, “Weatherman Skank”. Over some energetic production, Ray I gets busy with the deejaying throughout, giving Weather updates, and handling the Riddim with ease. The “Weatherman Skank Riddim” was a popular Riddim back in the day, and Ray I’s single was not only popular, but was just one of many releases that took control of the scene with the Artists grasping your attention with their crowd-gathering lyrics and flow. The popularity of the single also earned him the nickname, “Weather Man“.

Since the release of “Weatherman Skank”, Ray I would release a number of singles and a couple albums over the years. He was active some time in the early 2020s, but not much has been heard about him since. “Weatherman Skank” is still played in parts of the world. Stay safe, stay dry.

Thank You Ray I For This Hit!
