Today’s 25DaysOfChristmas entry comes from singer Sadiki. Titled “Santa Claus”, Sadiki is requesting that Mr. Claus takes a trip to Jamaica so that they can have a small discussion about the season and the problems in the country.

This is a crazy lineup! After debuting the single a few months ago, Wayne Marshall recruited Bounty Killa, Assassin, I-Octane, Damian Marley, Aidonia and Vybz Kartel (Voice Only) for the “Go Hard” music video. Directed by Rass Kassa, this video was shot in black and white (or grayscale) with each artist deejaying their lyrics in a dark area or with a crew. This reminds me of a DJ Khaled effort, but I like it and wish there could be more like this since almost all artists had feuds with each other in the past (Wayne vs. Kartel, Bounty vs. Kartel, Aidonia vs. Kartel). Check out the video above, and share your thoughts below.
You don’t have to be rich to enjoy this Christmas but after working hard all year it would be nice to be spoiled right? Bugle, Ding Dong and Quick Cook are looking forward to great things in the Christmas season with their new single. Titled “Ghetto Christmas” and made on the riddim of the same name, they deejay about free electricity for a month, going to parties, and opting for sugar and water if you can’t afford the finer beverages. It’s a pretty cool song once you give it a few more listens and it promotes togetherness for the season. Check out the song below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
