Posted on by swadedavillain

North Carolina-based Rapper Rapsody had many anticipating a new project from her for quite some time. She finally came through with her latest body of work called, “Please Don’t Cry“, a 22 track collection and her 4th studio album which features some of her best music that dabble in various topics. She brought along a few friends to help share her messages, including a friend from the Caribbean on, “Never Enough“.

Produced by Major Seven, Nicole Bus, and Precious Wisely, “Never Enough” features Reggae Artist Keznamdi and Bus. The track finds Rapsody and Kez speak on loss, overcompensating for flaws, trading peace for material things, appealing to the trends and not what’s right, and more importantly not fitting into societal norms and ideals, and loving yourself. To be “free from Babylon” is always the motive, and Rapsody, Keznamdi, and Nicole Bus deliver beautifully over some great production. Rapsody shares many uplifting messages on her new music, and it’s out now for streaming.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Carl Douglas – Kung Fu Fighting (1974)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today’s Oldies Sunday Selection comes from Jamaican Recording Artist, Carl Douglas. Titled “Kung Fu Fighting (Buy It Here)“, this was produced by Biddu for PYE Records in 1974. At that time, Martial Art films (termed “Chopsocky“) were increasing in popularity worldwide (especially in Jamaica), and at a time during the rise of Disco music, Carl created it as a tribute.

“Kung Fu Fighting” didn’t start off as a hot single, and received no airplay five weeks since its release. After that it started gaining popularity in dance clubs and helped to make its entry into the UK Singles Chart at #42. After a while it rose to the top of the charts and stayed there for 3 weeks while it made its way to the US Billboard Hot 100 where it made it to #1. “Kung Fu Fighting” also went #1 in other countries including France, Austria, South Africa, Germany, and many more. It has been placed at #100 of VH1’s “100 Greatest One-Hit Wonders”, #1 in Channel 4’s “50 Greatest One-Hit Wonders” and was a part of a great moment in Pop Culture. In 1974 it was certified Gold, received a Grammy for “Best Selling Single“, played a role in the popularity of Disco music, and became one of the best selling singles of all time selling over 11 Million records worldwide.
