OLDIES SUNDAY: Daddy Screw & Donovan Steele – Kerry (1994)

Posted on by swadedavillain

In music, there are names that are immortalized in song. You know plenty of those songs, but when you own one of the names, it’s really special. Today’s “Oldies Sunday” will be special for the Women who own this name. Today’s selection comes from Daddy Screw with the track, “Kerry“.

Produced by Dave Kelly on the “Car Crash Riddim” and released through the Mad House label in 1994, Daddy Screw had “Kerry” on his mind a lot. Featuring Singer Donovan Steele, the song finds the Artists making their dedication to Kerry, assuring love and loyalty, dismissing other Women, and of course making her feel like the only girl in the world. All the Women named Kerry quickly owned this song when it was released back in the day, and it definitely boosted their confidence. Aside from them, the song became one of Screw’s hits, securing high positions on local charts, and finding its way into the International market.

Since the release of “Kerry”, Daddy Screw went on to release more music over the years. He migrated to the US in later years, but the musical output slowed since. He supported the career of his son Tyrello a.k.a. Chedda Da Medalis, who had some success in music over the years. “Kerry” continues to be played to this day, along with his many hits. Big up all the Kerry dem.

Thank You Daddy Screw For This Hit!

OLDIES SUNDAY: @Tanya_Stephens – Yuh Nuh Ready Fi Dis Yet (1996)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Women’s History Month is being recognized on the Blog this month. How can we not highlight a Woman who is one of the Jamaica’s greatest Artists? In some circles she is hailed as one of Jamaica’s greatest Lyricists, and in other circles she is considered a criminally underrated Artist. For Oldies Sunday, we feature Tanya Stephens and her single, “Yuh Nuh Ready Fi Dis Yet“.

Produced by Dave Kelly on the “Joy Ride Riddim“, and released through the Mad House Label in 1996, Tanya Stephens takes the mic to call out all the Men who have been selfish towards their Women, who have not been treating them right, and who been pushing a claim that they are the ideal Men. Tanya steps out with a few lines to let them know that their egos can be deflated instantly when the Woman gives him a dose of his own Medicine. If you’re not mature enough to take care of a Woman, leave her alone is Tanya’s message here. “Yuh Nuh Ready Fi Dis Yet” was the breakout single for Tanya Stephens, as it became prominent on music charts, and had every Woman from young to old singing her song line for line. The single was also featured on Tanya’s sophomore album, “Too Hype“

Since the release of “Yuh Nuh Ready Fi Dis Yet”, Tanya Stephens became a dominant force, and was highly respected as a Lyricist for a number of years. She went on to release more blazing singles and solid bodies of work, and has extended her pen game to other Artists, giving them hits as well. She deserves her Flowers and accolades, and she has inspired many Women around the world.

thank you tanya stephens!
