INTERVIEW: @KingBiggsSOL x @InnovoEnt

Posted on February 10, 2015 by swadedavillain

If you’re a listener of Jamaican Hip Hop, you might be familiar with the Rapper/Producer and now Entrepreneur Julian Morrison a.k.a. “King Biggs“. Affiliated with the Sons of Liberty collective and Equiknoxx Music, Biggs has made room along with his song writing and production for Innovo Entertainment. I’ve had the chance to chat with him recently about this new venture, his aims for it and future endeavors.

13thStreet: King Biggs, you’re known in the Jamaican Hip Hop circles as a Rapper, Producer and a part of the Sons Of Liberty collective, now you’re dabbling in a new venture. What is Innovo Entertainment?

KB: Innovo Entertainment is a brand that produces interactive entertainment experiences for adventurous and tasteful young Jamaicans. It will produce parties but that won’t be the flagship. New entertainment options such as fitness challenges, entrepreneur expos and events celebrating international culture will give people something else to do other than party. The ethos of Innovo Entertainment is the celebration of the effects of Globalization on 80s and 90s babies in Jamaica. Most of the events involve activities so patrons don’t come and stand still, they’re a part of something unfolding before their eyes.

13thStreet: What made you decide to start this venture? When was the idea brought into existence?

NEW MUSIC: @KashKapri X @Shotti48 – KASHFLW

Posted on February 9, 2015February 9, 2015 by childoflaluna

Playing on the word KA$HFLW, aside from the cliché, it directly creates a call to action for Kash Kapri who actually leaves room for Imije to have his own distinct flow on the track. It’s quite obvious that the artistes never really parted ways because they complement each other well (hook).

Personally, I believe the bass on the track could be tweaked in addition to having the sonics turned up for my preference (I’d add it to my vehicle turn up playlist at that point lol). Gaz beats did a good job producing/mixing, my question is was there mastering done and if so, who did it? There is a level of evolution to be seen here overall. The track cover is dope; if nothing about your music is good, the one thing that can be used to speak otherwise is PROPER PACKAGING. Flow on point, lyrics on point. 876 Hip-Hop never disappoints.

Posted on February 3, 2015July 30, 2019 by swadedavillain

Free the herbs! Today’s new video comes from Acmatic and they’re all about Jane. Titled “Free Jane” and features Singer Mortimer and King Lopo with the verses, they are advocating for the legalization of Marijuana, speak on the possibilities of its use and how it can change lives financially. In the video, Marijuana is personified at times wearing chains and embracing Lopo while he raps. A great effort here as the song has been previewed for months and seeing that the legalization of Marijuana in Jamaica may see the light of day, this is a proper song to get the people listening. Whether you smoke it, drink it, wear it, or even like drawing it, check out the video below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
