Just a few hours ago, International Recording Artist/Producer/Entrepreneur Kanye West released his tenth studio album, “DONDA“. It was met with multiple delays, but this year saw it being previewed at a few events. During those events, many of the album’s guest features showed up as a part of the rollout. Today, we highlight two of the album’s features, Dancehall Artist Shenseea, and Reggae/Dancehall Icon Buju Banton.

Kanye West’s “DONDA” album is packed with 26 tracks, with a mix of many genres and sounds. Shenseea represents Dancehall on the album via the track, “Ok ok Pt. 2” and “Pure Souls“, while Buju Banton steps in for Reggae on the track, “Believe What I Say“. Shenseea steps in “Ok Ok Pt. 2” with a verse along with Rapper Fivio Foreign and she sings on “Pure Souls”, while Buju shares a few bars along with some words of wisdom over a Lauryn Hill sampled track. Kanye West is no stranger to having Dancehall/Reggae sounds and Artists on his albums as Agent Sasco, Beenie Man, and Capleton appeared on his “Yeezus” album in 2013. Yeezy SZN is here, and we know many listeners will be making the most out of the album today.

.@NickiMinaj Breathes New Life Into @Skillibeng’s “Crocodile Teeth”!

Posted on by swadedavillain

If you don’t know by now, Skillibeng’s “Crocodile Teeth” is one of the biggest Dancehall singles out now. Released in 2020, Skilli further solidified himself as one of the hottest Dancehall acts, with comparisons to some of the greats. Now rocking an International Record deal and collaborations with various prominent names, this next collaboration came out of the blue. Enter Hip Hop/Pop Icon Nicki Minaj for the remix to “Crocodile Teeth“.

Done in collaboration with Skillibeng, Sony ATV Publishing, Republic Records, and “Crocodile Teeth” Producers Johnny Wonder and Adde Instrumentals, Nicki Minaj returns to the music after a hiatus to take care of family life. Tapping into her Caribbean background, she had to jump on one of the biggest Dancehall songs as a part of her rollout. While Artists like Meek Mill and Tory Lanez showing “Crocodile Teeth” a lot of love, Nicki Minaj breathes new life in the remix, and will find itself in places that may not have been familiar with Skillibeng. If you know Nicki’s background and following, you know this is pretty serious. the song was to originally come out days ago, but things went left, and caused the “Barbz” to get into attack mode. Let’s hope they chill out and support this. Big up Skillibeng!

OLDIES SUNDAY: Bunny Wailer – Electric Boogie (1980)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today, we celebrate another Jamaican music Icon who has transitioned to the big session in the afterlife. Today on Oldies Sunday, we go back in time to check out the classic “Electric Boogie” by “Jah B“, the “Blackheart Man”, and the last Wailer, Bunny Wailer.

Produced through his Solomonic Music label and released in 1980, Bunny Wailer gave us a song that was bound to make us move! With his “Electric Boogie”, we were gonna get shockwaves of good energy from the dynamic production, and Bunny’s attention grabbing lyrics. Originally written and recorded in 1976, “Electric Boogie” did not perform very well when released, but when Marcia Griffith re-recorded it and released it in 1983, it began to catch on. When Marcia’s version got remixed and released in 1989 for her “Carousel” album paired with the “Electric Slide” line dance, it became a smash hit, and one of the most successful singles by a female Reggae Artist ever. “Electric Boogie” would also get a re-release in 1989 along with an energetic music video. It was featured on Bunny’s 1993 album, “Just Be Nice“. “Electric Boogie” still gets plays worldwide, and remains one of Bunny Wailer’s most recognized songs. Born Neville Livingston, Bunny Wailer passed away on March 2, 2021 at the age of 73. May his legacy live on!

THANK YOU BUNNY WAILER!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Before there was Kabaka Pyramid the global Reggae artist with many thought provoking hits, there was Kabaka Pyramid the Rapper who could hit you with plenty bars with ease. While Hip Hop definitely influenced his Reggae career, seeing him collaborate with some of his faves gives us a proud feeling. Today, he joins LA Hip Hop artist R-Mean and the legendary Method Man of the Wu-Tang Clan on the track, “Circus“.

Produced by the legendary Scott Storch, the trio go bar for bar as they each show off their distinct style, and make it known that they have no time for clown business or anything that can tarnish their standards. We recall times where Kabaka Pyramid would freestyle or remix one of his songs over Wu-Tang Clan beats, and since then he has collaborated with members Raekwon and Method Man. Many may not understand it, but this collaboration is a big one. Big up Kabaka Pyramid, R-Mean, Method Man, and Scott Storch!
