Obeah Man – 13th Street Promotions

When it comes to success for some, it’s a result of hard work, dedication to the craft, and consistency. For others, it’s a stroke of luck. For Dancehall Artist Valiant, he did the necessary groundwork and development to get to where he is now. While he was recently named as an Artist to watch by British Vogue, his work is just getting started. Despite his success so far, there are many in high and low places who don’t wish to see him make it any further. We call it badmind, but Valiant has something for them that is stronger on “Bruk Days“.

In this KhingCam-directed video, Valiant shows us that no weapon formed against him shall prosper, and it can be your own friend who wishes to see your downfall. The video sees the Deejay overcoming the traps that a badmind friend has set against him through the help of the Obeah Man, but without even noticing what’s going on, his life remained intact with no harm done to him. Valiant speaks of his emerging success on “Bruk Days” as he’s able to take care of things that seemed unattainable before, and once his family is happy, he’s happy. It’s always important to watch the friends that you keep, and there will be many who will try to bring that negative energy into your life. Be careful. Here’s to more success to Valiant, and to all who are doing the right things to make it.

It’s October 31, and in certain parts of the world, Halloween is celebrated. While Jamaicans don’t celebrate Halloween (expect the American minded folks), Jamaica’s music culture has shared a few words on ghosts (duppy), monsters, demons, vampires, and those who practice witchcraft and black magic. For today’s Oldies Sunday selection, we look at those whose practices involve potions, elixirs, and spirits. We go back to a couple decades to check out Charlie Chaplin’s “Obeah Business“.

Produced by Doctor Dread on the “Heavenless Riddim” and released through Ras Records in 1991, Charlie Chaplin puts fellow Entertainers on blast as he’s aware of their unethical practices to gain fame and fortune. While he does this in a comical way, he shares his experience in meeting an Obeah Man who exposed a few of his peers who sought the Obeah Man’s services that use his “powers” to give them success. The Obeah Man also shares that some of them owe him money, and he will use these same powers to bring bad omen their way until the fees are covered. The Obeah Business has been a very profitable one for decades as people would spend exuberant amounts of money to get their wishes granted. Charlie Chaplin’s “Obeah Business” gained some popularity when it was released as the Deejay was already a big name on the scene. The single was featured on his 1991 album, “Cry Blood“. Watch out for strange powder being sprinkled your way, and stay prayed up as there are people out there who wish to see your downfall.
