OLDIES SUNDAY: Chevelle Franklyn – Here I Am (1989)

Posted on by swadedavillain

The month of May being “Child Month” is coming to a close. Today on “Oldies Sunday“, we highlight a time when young folks take on arguments they have no business being in. It comes in the form of a song in this case. Today, we go back into time to check out a young Chevelle Franklyn, and her track “Here I Am“.

Produced by Rohan Harrison and Arnold Edwards and released through the Rhage Records in 1989, we find a Teenage Chevelle Franklyn (then known as Chevelle) taking on the role of a Woman who is in love with a married Man in, “Here I Am”. Released at age 16, the song showcased a young star in the making with a powerful voice, and who had promise of a successful music career. “Here I Am” was beyond Chevelle’s years in subject matter, but it catapulted her into stardom quickly. The song topped the JBC Radio One Top 30 charts, the RJR Top 40 music charts, and put the Singer on a winning streak as she scooped up a number of awards, made her a household name, and opened doors which included collaborations with Shabba Ranks, Spragga Benz, Beenie Man, and later scoring an International Record Deal with Island Jamaica.

Since the release of “Here I Am”, Chevelle Franklyn made strides in music. In the late 1990s, she stepped away to focus on her faith. She would return to the scene shortly after as a Gospel Singer, enjoying success in that lane. Despite the changes in her life, many still remember that little girl who made her debut on the scene signing about big people tings. “Here I Am” continues to be well-loved by many.

THANK YOU CHEVELLE FRANKLYN FOR THIS HIT!

Posted on by swadedavillain

To say Dancehall Artist Vybz Kartel is hard at work is an understatement. This year saw him take on stages, flood the streets with new music, secure more assets, grow his family and fanbase, and connect with old and friends. He has a lot going on, even a love affair. Hear him tell it in, “Don’t Mess Up“.

Produced by Greedy Lion Records/Silver Bird Records/Vybz Kartel Muzik, Vybz Kartel presents an R&B love affair called, “Don’t Mess Up”. He taps into the R&B with a story of love that had strong beginnings, and endured some stumbles throughout. They may be on different paths at times, but Kartel knows she’s very special to him, and when they link up, it’s a moment in History. When the love is strong, two hearts will always connect. Vybz Kartel continues to build his post-Prison catalogue, and is still reeling off him collaboration with US R&B Artist Chris Brown for his recently-released “Brown” album. Fans are still eager to see the “World Boss” in person, and this summer will fulfill those wishes. Whatever you do, don’t mess up.

Vybz Kartel Joins @ChrisBrown On New “Brown” Album

Posted on by swadedavillain

Life has been good to Vybz Kartel. Since his release from prison close to 2 years ago, he gained more money, more assets, a greater appreciation for life away from the bars, and a lot more. As an Artist, he’s still in demand. Internationally, he has collaborated with DJ Khaled and Travis Scott, and recently was recruited by R&B star Chris Brown for his new album, “Brown (Break Rules Only When Necessary)“. Check them out on, “F*** And Party“.

Produced by T-Town, Chris Brown further shares his love for Jamaica by linking up with Vybz Kartel for “F*** And Party”. The track finds Brown expressing his desire to not be locked down, and gives the young Woman who is interested in him a warning that nothing will be normal when it involves him. Kartel also shares the same sentiment as he’s all about having a good time, no time for anything serious, so know what you’re getting into. Sidem Ozturk, Kartel’s leading lady, gets a shoutout on the track as well, and the “World Boss” scores another International collaboration, and will definitely do the numbers. Major Myjah, son of Bounty Killa and frequent collaborator of Chris Brown, also shares writing credits on the “Brown” album. From dancing with Elephant Man, to sampling Red Rat, to recruiting Jamaican Dancers for his team, to collaborating with Vybz Kartel. Looks like they’ll call him “Gaza Chris” now. Does this mean he’ll do another concert in Jamaica? Stay tuned. “Brown” is out now.

Kickraux & PHE Drop Long-Awaited “Truth Or Dare” As Dash Rockets

Posted on by swadedavillain

In the beginning, there’s an idea, and that idea is brought to life with the right tools. Kickraux and PHE are multiplatinum talents, and they’ve taken their skillsets to the next level. Over the past couple years, they’ve formed the union called, Dash Rockets, providing music that’s out of the usual, but will get you hooked. Through weekly posts, they’ve shared new sounds, and from the feedback they send it to the right places. In 2025, they premiered their debut EP, “The Adventures Of Dash Rockets“, which received a lot of love. Recently, after much demand, they release the new track, “Truth Or Dare“.

Tapping into Country, Soul, and R&B, “Truth Or Dare” is about having someone who may be bad for you, but good for your soul. It’s a sentiment that many share when dealing with toxic relationships, but the vocals on this release make everything feel like the best thing. PHE puts down notes throughout that the listener can’t help but get lost in, while he and Kickraux knock out some solid production. We can look out for a Dash Rockets album this year, and with what we’ve heard previously, the project will be the talk of the town. Stay tuned.
