.@NotniceRecords Shares “Save Me” Visual Featuring AI Artist, S’riah

Posted on by swadedavillain

The topic of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in music is a matter that is struggling to find a common ground. With news of AI Artists getting signed to Record deals, and AI music taking over social and Entertainment platforms, there are discussions that argue against AI as it replaces real people with real skills, while others are embracing it as a way opening the door to more opportunities. Dancehall Producer Notnice has been the subject of discussion recently as he signed AI Artist S’riah (Soraya) to his label. While the arguments ensue, he’s using S’riah for something that is extremely important. He recently shared the music video for the new single, “Save Me“.

 “Save Me” is Notnice’s official debut of S’riah, his new AI Artist. Following the news of the passing of Jamaican Model Tyra Spaulding, the new song was made in support, and to spread awareness for those who struggle with their Mental Health. Many people struggle with various forms of Depression, and some choose to go through the route of Suicide. With more people advocating for more focus on Mental Health in Jamaica, “Save Me” was made to further encourage discussions and moves in the right direction. The song was written by Notnice Records-signee Nordia Mothersille, who continues to showcase her talent, and extended it to her code-filled label mate. The talks of Artificial Intelligence in music will continue, but right now, we encourage listeners and our readers who are struggling with their Mental Health, to seek an outlet where they can speak to someone who can assist them. The video for “Save Me” shares some information for Jamaican viewers who are seeking the right help. The struggle is hard, but we believe there is hope. Sleep well, Tyra Spaulding.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Mad Anju – Wha Dis Fadda (1999)

Posted on by swadedavillain

The Month of May is recognized as “Mental Health Awareness Month“. The Caribbean has been through, and is going through so much, and not many of us are strong enough to handle it all. For many of us, music is an escape whether you’re a listener, or performer. Today’s “Oldies Sunday” selection comes from Mad Anju with the track, “Wha Dis Fadda“.

Produced by Chad Simpson a.ka. Mr. G/Goofy for Big League Records on the “Antz Nest Riddim” and released through Young Blood Records/Main Street Music in 1999, Mad Anju has a list of things to talk about in, “Wha Dis Fadda”. The Deejay shares a number of scenarios that all end up on the wrong side of the story, and cause major stress. A few examples would be him having dreams of living the good life with all the spoils of success, but in reality he’s living hand to mouth, far from the dream life. Another would be having what he believes is a Woman who is loyal and loving to him in every way, only for her to be dishonest and a Thief in the end. Anju takes the time to call out those who would rather pursue a music career that has no guarantee of success, and show displeasure in participating in Farming, something that is sure to provide in more ways than one. He mentions a few more things that are sure to make listeners ponder and are still relevant today, but overall they all in some shape or form cause a decline in Mental Health among the population. “Wha Dis Fadda” quickly became a hit for Mad Anju, earning him spots on local Music charts, providing him opportunities to perform locally, and abroad.

Since the release of “Wha Dis Fadda”, Mad Anju went on to score a few more hits, but his time on the scene was short lived. He secured a deal with VP Records thanks to the popularity of his hits, but an album never materialized. He would make attempts at a comeback in later years, but fell back into music and event promotion. He may not be on the scene like before, but his singles including “Wha Dis Fadda” still gets love in Jamaica, and the rest of the world.

Thank You Mad Anju For This Hit!

Silk Boss Channels His Pain In “Vent”

Posted on by swadedavillain

They say health is wealth, but for some of us, our mental health has been in the red. There’s a lot going on in the world, and we’re all affected by them in one way or another. Some of us have been struggling to make it to the end of the day, some have sadly chosen other paths. Dancehall Artist Silk Boss has had his share of troubles over the past few years, and he has been vocal about some of them. He fights his battles, but now he’s taking the time to “Vent“.

Produced by Rockit Muzik/Ice Queen Records/Dynasty Global, Silk Boss channels through song in, “Vent”. He’s facing demons, he’s fighting battles mentally and physically, and he’s honest about his mental health being affected, and the things he has done. From fake friends, to deceptive partners, he’s asking for guidance to overcome them all. The Saii Media Group-directed Music Video shows the Deejay sporting a Hospital gown, being bounded by ropes, and confined to a Wheelchair throughout the clip. There are times where evil lurks in his presence, but he’s doing his best to get away from it. Silk Boss is definitely one of those Artists who doesn’t hide what he goes through, even if it means getting a negative reaction to the public. We all have our battles, but we hope the Deejay finds some peace in the meantime.

The world is troubled, and it needs an intervention. There are many who use their platform to promote unity and peace, but there are strong forces out there that creating roadblocks against change. Recording Artist/Content Creator McKada is one of those Artists who uses her music to promote positivity, and reaches out to the necessary channels to bring forth her messages to a wider audience. For the resolutions and revolutions to happen, we need to have a few “Conversations“.

Produced by McKada Music with assistance from Raymar “GSharp” Rochester, Marlon Dixon, Romano Pitt, and Jowayne Campbell, McKada aims to challenge society, and get the world back in the right order in, “Conversations”. Released recently during “World Mental Health Awareness Week“, the Singer speaks on the forces plaguing our world, and the mental and emotional strains that those who live in it are experiencing. Whether it’s finances, discrimination, injustice, or oppression, many of us are suffering in silence, and McKada is using her voice to fight for the people, and recruit others to do their part. A version of “Conversations” was originally released in 2018, but through the advice of renowned Musician/Producer Mikey Bennett, the song was reworked, and given a new date. Mckada looks forward to connecting with listeners, and being a part of projects and discussions with organizations to bring forth change in the near future. Change starts with self, so do your part in becoming the change you want to see, and let it be contagious.

Recording Artist Mortimer has experienced plenty in his life, but still standing after all that showcases the strength he possesses. Let him tell you what’s going on in “Not A Day Goes By“.

In a video directed by Pete Beng and conceptualized by Mortimer, “Not A Day Goes By” is the exhibition of a Man who is fighting battles internally, and seeks help from a higher power to overcome it all.

Winta James provides a mellow production to accompany the lyrics, and Protoje’s Camp Habitat is the location for Mortimer’s visual, and safe space.
