.@KingBeenieMan Releases Long-Awaited “Simma” Album

Posted on by swadedavillain

Beenie Man is a King of Dancehall. Love him or hate him, he is the greatest Dancehall Entertainer, and he has plenty moments at stage shows, and attendees to vouch for that. With over 40 years in music, it’s still crazy that a former child star not named Michael Jackson has made his name transcend generations. In 2021, Beenie shared that he would release a new album. After a few delays, he has finally liberated “Simma“.

“Simma” features 20 tracks, and it finds Beenie Man still holding his own in Dancehall Music. Never one to stay boxed in, he tries out a few different styles for this album. Whether your taste is the traditional Dancehall/Reggae, or even the new wave of NY and UK Drill, Beenie has something for everyone. Production on “Simma” include the likes of Suku, Dutty Rock Productions, Walshy Fire, The FaNaTiX, Frankie Music, Tony Kelly, and Teddy Riley. Beenie shares the album with a number of friends including Giggs, Popcaan, PatoranKing, Busy Signal, Ms. Banks, Sean Paul, StoneBwoy, Mÿa, and more. Beenie Man promises that you will be thoroughly entertained by his new album, and you have to respect a man who has given most of his life to this music. Respect the King.

.@MyaPlanet9 Links Up With Bounty Killa For “Whine”

Posted on by swadedavillain

US Recording Artist Mýa is a music legend. For nearly 30 years, she has built herself an impressive resumé that highlights her career as a triple threat. She influenced generations of stars, and she stays being creative. Her love for Jamaica was never a secret, and she returned to the Island some time ago to collaborate with one of Jamaica’s music icons on the track, “Whine“.

With a music video directed by Josh Sikkema and Derek Brown, Mýa teams up with Bounty Killa for a track that will have the ladies dancing up a storm. If you need a lil help with the moves, a few familiar faces including Latonya Style, DaniiBoo, and Pata Skeng are in the visual to get you on the right foot. The DJ Hardwerk production finds Mýa and Bounty having fun throughout, and it continues to show that Mýa never lost a step. For those unfamiliar, this is not Mýa’s first time doing Dancehall, remember she has hits with Beenie Man, Spice, Jah Cure, and Ding Dong! “Whine” was hinted from 2021, and was announced earlier this year, to see the Artists on screen is a good look. Get ready to dance!

.@DonToliver Samples @KingBeenieMan Classic For @KaliUchis-Featured “4 Me”!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Earlier this week, couples of all sorts celebrated their version of love on Valentine’s Day. A lot of music was released this week in celebration of it, including US Recording Artists Don Toliver and Kali Uchis’ single titled, “4 Me“. The Artists, who are an item in real life, showed off not only their skills, but them being a winning pair right now. One addition in making their collaboration a big deal, was it sampling a Dancehall classic.

On Don Toliver and Kali Uchis’ “4 Me”, Dancehall Icon Beenie Man’s “Girls Dem Sugar” was sampled throughout! Released in September of 2000, “Girls Dem Sugar” featured US Recording Artist Mya, and was produced by The Neptunes. The track was a remix of Beenie’s 1997 hit “Who Am I (Sim Simma)“, and was featured on his 2000 GRAMMY-winning album, “Art and Life“. “4 Me” sampled various parts of the hit single, and is expected to become a favourite for fans and new listeners alike.”4 Me” will be featured on Toliver’s “LoveSick” album which is due on February 24.

@SpiceOfficial: The Dancehall Queen Of The Stage!

Posted on by swadedavillain

We salute the “Stage Show Boss” in this post. As the saying goes, “Give people Flowers while they can still smell them”. Big up Spice!

The Throne for the Dancehall Queen is currently vacant, and there could only be one who ascends to claim her rightful place at the top of Dancehall. The genre is now in the Era of “The Spicy 1“, and though her given name is Grace Latoya Hamilton, we know her as Spice! Never been far from the spotlight, Spice proved time and time again that she’s in a lane of her own with no contenders. From acting, to singing, deejaying, to dancing, she’s multifaceted and continues to have an edge among her peers.

Words by King David x SwadeDaVillain

Since her debut, Spice has always been one to push boundaries in Dancehall as a Female Artist. She will always be known for being different whether it be for the colour of her hair, her unique outfits, or her many stand out singles. Among her Dancehall peers, she has never been afraid to outperform them, whether male or female. Her various Clash appearances, “War” records and counteractions are proof of this. Bounty Killer, one of her earliest mentors, hailed her as one of the “Baddest” acts before she even scored her first hit.

DianaKing-ShyGuy

Today’s Oldies Sunday selection comes from Singer/Songwriter Diana King. Titled “Shy Guy” and produced by Andy Marvel in 1995, Diana sings about being a very desirable lady who all the men are eager for but would rather the affection from a “shy guy“. She speaks on refusing to be with a fly guy, a “rough neck” and a guy who’s “loving everybody” and details what she likes about a shy guy. In “Shy Guy” she delivered the song in English and Jamaican Patois.
