OLDIES SUNDAY: Lord Composer – Hill And Gully Ride (1954)

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s another Oldies Sunday, no matter where you are in the world. When you talk about hits, Jamaica has a ton of them spanning decades. This time around, we go back to the 1950’s to check out Lord Composer’s “Hill And Gully Ride/Mandeville Road“.

Released through Motta’s Recording Studio (Fun Fact: This was Jamaica’s 1st privately owned Recording Studio, and was owned by Stanley Motta) in 1954, “Hill And Gully Ride/Mandeville Road” was a medley Mento single recorded by Lord Composer and his Silver Seas Hotel Orchestra. “Hill And Gully Ride” was a dancing tune that had a few instructions while “Mandeville Road” was about people going to Manchester to break stones, a profession that many did in those days before the advancements in Technology. Both songs were done over percussion, strings, and a Fife solo, with Composer being lead Vocalist with backing vocals. “Hill And Gully Ride/Mandeville Road” were Folks Songs, belonging in a department called “Digging Songs“. They were included with another medley single on a Record, and sounded nothing like what was out in those times. The medley was covered by a number of Folk Singers, and two versions of it would later become the theme music for the popular “Hill An’ Gully Ride” TV series in Jamaica. The lyrics and cadence of “Hill And Gully Ride” were sampled by a number of Artists including YellowMan and Busy Signal, while “Mandeville Road” was sampled by Dancehall group T.O.K.

Lord Composer never released many songs when he was active, and only had an LP’s worth of singles since the release of “Hill And Gully Ride/Mandeville Road”. Composer passed away in 1990, and his music is celebrated to this day in parts of the world.

Thank You Lord Composer For Your ClassicS!

Young GT Links Up With Sizzla On “Badness Don’t Pay”

Posted on by swadedavillain

There are many ways you can start off a new day, week, month, and year, but it is always good to start on a positive note. A key thing to know is that good will always prevail over evil. Manchester/US-based Recording Artist Young GT has a message that he wants to share, and that is, “Badness Don’t Pay“.

With a video directed by Romaine Visuals, “Badness Don’t Pay” is Young GT’s latest single with Reggae/Dancehall Icon Sizzla Kalonji. Together they emphasize the message that it’s “Good over evil“, and watch out for those that try to take you off the good path. The video was shot at Judgment Yard in August Town and Broadleaf, Manchester, and it shows what happens to those who study evil, and how the tables can turn on them. Jamaica’s crime rate continues to rise, and without positive outlets to help the people, it can get worse. Lots of corruption out here, but it takes some good people to make the right moves. Young GT has been on the scene for quite a while, and with this Sizzla collaboration, expect to hear more of him.

Lil Kish Shares Visual For “God A Mi Obeah Man”

Posted on by swadedavillain

To her friends and family, she is known as Tajana, but the public has been hip to the upcoming Entertainer known as Lil Kish. The Teenager who is based in Manchester has been steadily making her name known across the Island, and she looks to bring a different kind of energy to the music scene. She gained viral success a number of times, been a part of a few campaigns, and even has a music video that hit over a million views. While everyone else is focusing on other means for success, she chooses to stick to her faith and her talent in “God A Mi Obeah Man“.

In this Abka Kaba/Kahinga Films-directed music video for “God A Mi Obeah Man”, Lil Kish takes it to the Church hall to declare that her faith is strong, and she doesn’t need the negative influences to give her what she desires. She shares encouragement for those who need it on the track, and she maintains her focused as a child of God. She calls out those who practice wicked acts, and urges them to do better over the Hot Topic Ent./Kingkish Records production. She is joined by friends in dance and song, including a Youth Choir who put on a few moves as well. Lil Kish looks to take “God A Mi Obeah Man” to various places, and expects this one to become the hit that will further solidify her as the Artist to watch. Trade in the guard rings for the Word.
