.@FousheeLive Samples Prince Buster’s “Ghost Dance” For Her “war” Single

Posted on by swadedavillain

New Jersey-based Recording Artist Fousheé recently announced her upcoming sophomore album, “Pointy Heights“. Dedicated to the St. Catherine community of Pointy Heights and her Jamaican background, Fousheé looks to deliver some of her best music yet while tapping in some sounds from the Caribbean. The sound is evident in her newest single, “war“.

Fousheé handles the production on her new single, “war”, as she speaks on the need for peace and harmony as she has had times where there were conflicts in her life. She makes note that there is power in the tongue, and she is having the kind of peace where she’ll even pray for her opps. Her vocals emphasize the peace that many of us need, but the production taps into a sound that may perk some ears. “war” features a sample of the late Ska Pioneer Prince Buster’s 1967 track, “Ghost Dance“. The self-produced track features Buster having a conversation with a friend who is no longer among the living through the writing of a letter, and sending well wishes to others who have passed away. The track also features backing vocals from a young Lee “Scratch” Perry (ah, duppies...), and was featured on the 1967 album, “Judge Dread“.

Fousheé looks to bring a new vibe to the world when she releases her “Pointy Heights” album on September 13, through RCA Records.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Heavy D & The Boyz – Mood For Love (1989)

Posted on by swadedavillain

On “Oldies Sunday” we celebrate the classics and the underrated gems, and we aim to bring listeners back to a time when they first enjoyed the selection, and introduce new listeners to something they’ve never heard before. Some of our Artists are Caribbean-born, some are born overseas but highly influenced by the Caribbean. For today’s selection, we highlight a Jamaican-born Artist who grew up overseas, but never left his Caribbean background behind. He is the late Recording Artist/Producer/Dancer/Actor Heavy D, and we feature the track, “Mood For Love“.

Produced by the cousins Heavy D and Pete Rock and featuring Eddie F, “Trouble” T. Roy, and G-Whiz who form “Heavy D & The Boyz“, “Mood For Love” was released through MCA Records/Uptown Records in 1989. It’s all about love on “Mood For Love”, and everything good that comes along with it. The song finds Heavy D draws inspirations from Reggae/Dancehall, R&B, and Hip Hop, and delivers in a Deejay cadence with melodic parts throughout. The song also sampled Yellowman’s “Zungguzungguguzungguzeng” and Pat Kelly’s “I’m In The Mood For Love“. Heavy D encourages love to flow on through his song, and it quickly gained popularity from many listeners. While it wasn’t officially released as a single, it was featured on Heavy D & The Boyz’s Platinum-selling sophomore album, “Big Tyme“.

Since the release of “Mood For Love”, Heavy D and his “Heavy D & The Boyz” collective went on to release more music, and enjoy more success. “Trouble” T. Roy passed away in 1990, and was the inspiration for the classic Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth track, “They  Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)“. Born in Mandeville, Manchester and raised in Mt. Vernon, New York, Heavy D become an important figure in Hip Hop, played a role in the development of a few Artists including Soul for Real, never turning his back on his roots and collaborated with the likes of Super Cat, Frankie Paul, and Buju Banton, acted in a number of Films and TV Shows, performed the Theme songs for “In Living Color” and “Madtv“, and even made hits with Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, and B.B. King. Heavy D passed away on November 8, 2011, and despite the reports, his death has been a part of a few conspiracy theories in relation to Sean “P. Diddy” Combs, who has been the target of a number of investigations over the years. “Mood For Love” remains one of Heavy D’s more memorable tunes.

Thank You Heavy D For This Classic! S.I.P.
