.@WhoIsBEAM Pays Tribute To Fu-Schnickens On “FU”

Posted on by swadedavillain

2023 celebrates 50 years of Hip Hop, and its culture has been one of great influence. While many of you know of its history, the art form continues to birth new talent, new ideas, and new movements from around the world. Rapper/Producer BEAM is not only a student, but he uses his talents to pay tribute to those who have previously made contributions to Hip Hop’s development. He steps up with the video for the track, “FU“.

Directed by madebyJAMES, City James, and Darrin James, BEAM uses his platform to honour 50 years of Hip Hop, pay tribute to the classic Hip Hop trio FU-Schnickens and their 1992 hit “True Fuschnick, and salute to the Dancehall styles of his Father, Gospel Recording Artist/Minister Papa San. Both FU-Schnickens and Papa San ruled their respective music arenas with their speedy flows, and they definitely inspired many to borrow the styles. Salute the OGs. The black and white visual takes us back to the 90s, and BEAM has no problem ripping the beat, and letting loose his barrage of flows and bars. We’re taken through a number of New York spots and buildings, and this track is one to be celebrated. Many will say there’s nothing like the old school, but we believe in combining the best of the old and the new to make something special. Salute to Chip Fu, Moc Fu, Poc Fu, Papa San, and Hip Hop!

OLDIES SUNDAY: Sister Charmaine – No Disrespect (1990)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today’s Oldies Sunday selection is dedicated to Dancehall Artist Sister Charmaine who passed away on January 5, 2021. Before the many prominent Queens of Dancehall, Sister Charmaine was one who held that title proudly. Today we go back in time to check out “No Disrespect“.

Released through Leggo Records in 1990, Sister Charmaine did plenty name dropping on this one as she shares the difficulty in catching a break in music. In a rather humorous way, she calls upon artists like Papa San, Admiral Bailey, General Trees, Little Lenny, Professor Nuts, Lt. Stitchie, Flourgon, Ninja Man, and many more for assistance in making her career as successful as theirs. From borrowing a Benz, to performing Obeah, to learning certain songs and moves, Sister Charmaine believes these were some of the methods her fellow artists used in getting a “buss“. The song was not made to disrespect the many artists mentioned, but to give her audience something to laugh about, and showcase her versatility. The song was featured on the “Live And Kickin’” compilation in 1990. A song we believed took a cue from “No Disrespect” was Ce’cile’s 2000 single, “Changez” where she called out male deejays, but for a rather different topic.

Walk Good Sister Charmaine!

Chip Off The Old Block: Meet The New Kids Of Dancehall x Reggae (Pt. 5)

Posted on by swadedavillain

First they started out as the youth of the Dancehall/Reggae culture, now they’re parents with growing kids. It isn’t unusual for the child of an Entertainer to follow in their parent’s footsteps one way or the other as at times they bring a modern take on their parent’s creations, or create their own lane. Some of the most famous off springs include Stephen, Ziggy, and Damian “Junior Gong” Marley (Sons of Bob Marley), Chino and Di Genius (Sons of Freddie McGregor), Junior Tucker (Son of Jimmy Tucker), Morgan Heritage (Children of Denroy Morgan), Tarrus Riley (Son of Jimmy Riley), Queen Ifrica (Daughter of Derrick Morgan), Protoje (Son of Lorna Bennett), Chronixx (Son of Chronicle) and many more. In part 5 of a few part series, I feature more of the new set of kids on the scene whose parents have covered much ground in their respective careers.

After a long hiatus, Oldies Sunday is back!

Today’s Oldies Sunday entry comes from the Reggae Band, Third World. Titled “1865 (96 Degrees In The Shade)“, this was a single of their 2nd album of the same name which was released in 1977 on Island Records. In the song they sing about the Morant Bay Riots of 1865 which resulted in the death of 400 blacks during the riot and 350 more through hangings which included National Heroes Paul Bogle and George William Gordon. The line “96 Degrees In The Shade” suggests the temperature on that day, real hot!
