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!

OLDIES SUNDAY: Mr. G (Goofy) – Dog Bark (1996)

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s a new month, and we want to start it off in a comedic way on “Oldies Sunday“. For today’s selection, we go back in time to check out Mr. G (also known as Goofy)’s single, “Dog Bark“.

Produced by Steely & Clevie on the “Colombian Necktie Riddim” and released through Studio 2000 in 1996, the pursuit of some loving is disturbed by a few things in “Dog Bark”. Mr. G pursues a young lady in this adventure, and they have decided to have some fun in the dark in a not so convenient space. Despite it being a spontaneous way of connecting, the disturbance of dogs and a furious weapon-wielding Father who believes in the security of his family take over the situation, and could end with Mr. G admitted to the Hospital, or laid to rest. Mr. G always delivered some of his music in a comedic way (thanks to his own vocal version of the Disney character “Goofy”), and “Dog Bark” was instantly met with positive reviews. It also gave the Deejay a #1 placement on Jamaica’s music charts, and its accompanying Llewellyn O’Reggio-directed Music Video further showcased his comedic side.

Since the release of “Dog Bark”, Mr. G continued to have a successful career throughout the 90s, 2000s, and beyond as a Recording Artist, and Producer. He has assisted in the development of a number of Artists, and is still actively recording, performing, and releasing music. “Dog Bark” is still loved and played by many today.

Thank You Mr. G For This Classic!

OLDIES SUNDAY: RDX – Bend Ova (2009)

Posted on by swadedavillain

When it comes to music during the Summertime in Jamaica, there was a certain type of music that would ensure the party was successful. There was the “Daggering” era that was filled with hits from some of your favourite Artists. This duo in particular had the era on lock with tune after tune, and they go by the names Delomar and Renigad a.k.a. RDX. Today’s Oldies Sunday selection from them is the single, “Bend Ova“.

Produced by Chad Simpson a.k.a. Dancehall Artist Mr. G on the “Wibble Wobble Riddim” and released through Young Blood label in 2009, RDX’s “Bend Ova” was a song that had one mission: to make the ladies DANCE! With the duo’s commanding lyrics, the intense energy throughout, and a Riddim that got things going, “Bend Ova” was made to cause a scene. The “Daggering” era was filled with sexual energy, and “Bend Ova” was one of the anthems as it instantly became one of the many hits for the Dancehall duo. The single was later released on various compilations, including the 2014 “Kotch EP“. “Bend Ova” also caught the attention of the Jamaica Broadcasting Commission who then banned the song, turning it into an even more popular song worldwide. Last year, it became a viral sensation on Social Media platform, TikTok that kicked off a challenge.

Since the release of “Bend Ova”, RDX went on to score more hits, and toured extensively. Unfortunately the duo parted ways in the late 2010s due to feuds, and as of last week, there’s no chance of them reuniting. RDX’s music is needed in the Dancehall scene that’s filled with “Choppa” songs, and many ladies have been unsuccessfully seeking alternatives to RDX. Let’s hope Delomar and Renigad really put things in the past, and get things going again.

Thank You RDX For This Hit!
