Featuring 10 tracks, “Third Time’s The Charm” is Protoje’s first project since his 2020 “In Search Of Lost Time” album. In the somewhat short space of time Protoje has been active as a Reggae Artist, it’s impressive that his career has blessed him with the opportunity to release 6 albums. This milestone is just a testament to Protoje’s dedication to his craft, and fans will be pleased with the contents of “TTTC“.

Protoje recruited iotosh, Zion I Kings, Ziah, 8 Track, IV The Polymath, and Cadenza, who all brought their A game on “Third Time’s The Charm”. Protoje is never alone during album mode, and he brought along Jesse Royal, Samory I, Lila Iké, and British Singer Jorja Smith who all made valuable contributions to “TTTC”. Thanks to singles that lead up to the album’s release, Protoje is confident that “Third Time’s The Charm” will be another classic, and will open the floor for plenty opportunities come 2023.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Yesterday, Entertainment giant Marvel unveiled the latest phase of their “Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)“. With plenty films and tv shows on the way, fans were looking forward to consume even more stories from their favourite Comics. The rollout included the announcement of the sequel to the popular “Black Panther” film called, “Wakanda Forever“. Announced in the form of a teaser, a familiar song was featured in its soundtrack.

For those familiar with Reggae (who wouldn’t at this point?), the lyrics from Bob Marley’s classic, “No Woman No Cry” was heard in the teaser for “Wakanda Forever”. Instead of Bob’s version, a cover by Nigerian star Tems was put in place. Throughout the over 2 minute teaser, Tems’ cover was played before being mixed into Rapper Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright” single. “No Woman No Cry” was written by Bob Marley and Vincent Ford, produced by Chris Blackwell and The Wailers, and was featured on Marley’s 1974 album, “Natty Dread” with The Wailers. A live version of the single was released in 1975, and is considered one of the greatest songs ever made. The track was covered by many including The Fugees, Wizkid, Jimmy Cliff, and Sean Kingston.

“Black Panther” was released in 2018, and starred Chadwick Boseman, and Lupita Nyong’o among others. Boseman was set to reprise his role as the African superhero in the sequel, but passed away in 2020 after a long battle with Colon Cancer. “Black Pather: Wakanda Forever” will be released on October 11, 2022.

Anyone familiar with the TV Show “All Rise“? It’s a Legal Drama that revolves around the personal lives of judges, prosecutors, and public defenders in a Los Angeles courthouse. The series is in its 3rd season on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN), and for its latest episode (Episode 6 “I’ll Be There”), a classic Reggae song was featured.

In the closing of episode 6 of “All Rise”, Bob Marley & The Wailers’ classic, “Redemption Song” was featured. Released in 1980, “Redemption Song” is considered one of Bob Marley’s greatest works, and one of his most influential. The track was featured on the “Uprising” album, the 12th Bob Marley & the Wailers release, and was used during protests for Apartheid in South and South West Africa, used in tribute to the 9/11 attacks in 2001, and was covered by the likes of Stevie Wonder, U2, John Legend, and Wyclef Jean, and we featured Singer Shav-A covering it recently.

OLDIES SUNDAY: David Isaacs – Good Father (1969)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today around the world, Fathers, Dads, Pops, Papas, Papis, StepFathers, Uncles, Grandpas, and big Brothers are being celebrated on Father’s Day. While not many see today as a negative one, we celebrate the real Fathers who do everything to have a great presence in the life of their child/children. Today’s Oldies Sunday selection comes from Recording Artist David Isaacs with the track, “Good Father“.

Produced by Lee “Scratch” Perry and released through the Upsetters Label in 1969, David Isaacs shares some of the things a good Father does. David shares his signature vocals throughout with the help of backup Singers, and Lee “Scratch” Perry’s thumping production compliments the song well. Not many songs have been released celebrating Fathers over the years, but appreciation is shown for those that made it to the mainstream.

For those who have been called Deadbeat Fathers, Absent Fathers, “Sperm Donors”, and the like, you need to wise up! There are so many who wish to have their Fathers present but are unable due to tragedies and other reasons, but you chose to abandon those who really need you. There are even some of you who take on the Stepfather role to someone else’s kids while you ignore yours. We could’ve had a lot more songs for Dad had you lot done what you’re supposed to do. If you were called any of the above names, DO BETTER!

thank you David Isaacs for this track! Happy Father’s Day!
