After a long hiatus, Oldies Sunday is back!

Today’s Oldies Sunday entry comes from the Reggae Band, Third World.

In the song they sing about the Morant Bay Riots of 1865 which resulted in the death of 400 blacks during the riot and 350 more through hangings which included National Heroes Paul Bogle and George William Gordon. The line “96 Degrees In The Shade” suggests the temperature on that day, real hot!

NEW MUSIC: @SamanthaJLive – Hot Gyal Anthem


artworks-000070001048-32oq4h-t500x500First she stepped out in her “Tight up skirt“, now Samantha J’s representing for all the hot girls in her newest single. Titled “Hot Gyal Anthem” and produced by WashRoom Ent., we hear Samantha dropping lyrics about fashion, making a scene wherever she goes, driving the guys crazy, dusting off haters and announcing that a “Hot Gyal” is in the area. This sounds like a single that will climb the charts and have the ladies repeating the lyrics. Will it be a bigger single than “Tight Up Skirt“? Only time will tell. I’d love to interview her though. What do you think? Check out the song below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
