Jimmy Cliff’s “Wonderful World” Featured In @AppleTV’s “The Big Cigar”

Posted on by swadedavillain

“The Big Cigar” is one of the latest additions to the growing Apple TV streaming platform. Starring Andre Holland, Alessandro Nivola, and Tiffany Boone, the series focuses on the late Activist Huey P. Newton and his Black Panther Party in the 1970s, and his escape from a manhunt from the FBI to Cuba. The series features music from a number of stars from the 1960s and 70s, but a familiar sound from Jamaica was featured in one of the episodes.

In episode 3 of “The Big Cigar” called “Guns & Matzah“, Jamaican Icon Jimmy Cliff’s “Wonderful World, Beautiful People” could be heard during a scene. Produced by Leslie Kong and Cliff and released in 1969 through Trojan Records, “Wonderful World” is a vision by Cliff on what the world could be if things were done different. The song was a top ten hit for Cliff in various countries (was Trojan Records’ 1st hit), and was featured in his self-titled 1969 Reggae album (Sometimes known as “Wonderful World, Beautiful People“). “Wonderful World” was sampled by Cutty Ranks, and was covered by the likes of Sasha, Chuck Bennett, OreSkaBand, and Amazulu. “The Big Cigar” is now available for viewing on Apple TV.

.@Keznamdi Teams Up With @Rapsody On “Never Enough”

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.

.@NVT3L Takes On The “Honey Pot 2.0 Riddim” With “Let The Music Play”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recently, German Sound System/Production collective Silly Walks Disco released the “Honey Pot 2.0 Riddim“. The Riddim is a revamped version of the classic “Honey Pot Riddim” that featured hits from Chronixx (“Smile Jamaica”), Ginja (“Sweet Killer”), Da’Ville (“One In A Million”), and many others. Inspired by the resurgence of the Dancehall Riddims “Go-Go Club” and “Street Vybz“, “Honey Pot 2.0” was introduced through a Social Media challenge where Artists would record their song on the Riddim, and the best ones would be selected. One of the Artists who was selected was Recording Artist Natel (now using the alias “NVT3L“), and did a number on the Riddim called, “Let The Music Play“.

When it comes to music, it’s always going to be an out of this world experience when the right song plays. NVT3L understands this completely, and shares his love for the music on “Let The Music Play”. To him, the music is a drug that one cannot overdose on, and should be distributed to every corner of the globe. With the “Honey Pot 2.0” injecting nostalgic vibes, we expect NVT3L’s entry to do some damage soon after its official release, and we can see him controlling the crowd with it at the live shows. Get lost in the music today.

“Follow Your Heart”, And Listen To Quan Dajai

Posted on by swadedavillain

Quan Dajai Henriques may be a new name on the scene for some, but his face has been on many screens worldwide. Having portrayed a young Bob Marley in the recently-released hit Biopic, “Bob Marley: One Love“, Quan has gained quite the attention, and has been making good use of it. With music in tow, he has been busy recording, and earlier this year released the single, “Brimstone“. He now follows up with, “Follow Your Heart“.

Produced by Bulby York, Quan Dajai shares messages of love in “Follow Your Heart”. Over retro styled Reggae production, Quan melodically delivers a song about a love that is real, loyal, and worth it all. A love that stays strong through the seasons and the challenges that life has in store, is rare, and should be cherished. Rojhay Anderson took on the directorial duties for the Music Video, and it highlights a special kind of love, a Man who believes in love, a Woman who gives and receives that love, and of course some great hair. Quan Dajai secured a place in Film, and looks to capture the world with his music.

.@IbaMaHr Is Smitten In “Stole My Heart”

Posted on by swadedavillain

That thing called love is something special when done right. When you come across that person, everything feels like the best thing. Reggae Artist Iba MaHr believes in this thing called love, and in “Stole My Heart“, he speaks on his new experience.

Co-Produced by Khemani Thompson and Iba MaHr, “Stole My Heart” finds the Artist smitten by a Woman who has him feeling good all over, and is giving his heart that needed jolt. He speaks on experiencing life with her over smooth production, and we believe it’ll be a favourite for many couples out there. With a Music Video directed by Jxsse Jxmes and starring Maxine Turenne, Iba MaHr plays a Man who is truly in love with his lady, and the onscreen couple ooze a love that many of are experiencing, have yet to experience, or miss experiencing. From dates to spending quality time together, let that love be real and free from deception.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Thriller Prince – Teach The Children (1996)

Posted on by swadedavillain

The Month of May is recognized as “Child’s Month“, and on “Oldies Sunday“, we feature content that highlights former Child Stars in Caribbean music, or music that supported the children. For today’s selection, we look back at Thriller Prince’s “Teach The Children“.

Produced by Richard Bell on the “Baltimore Riddim“, “Teach The Children” was released through the Star Trail label in 1996. The song finds Thriller Prince spreading the message of good parenting, emphasizing raising children in the right way, guiding them to live fulfilling lives, and trodding on the right paths. Thriller melodically delivers over the solid production, and the messages shared are still relevant today. The song gained attention locally and parts of the world, and is a solid one on the “Baltimore Riddim”.

Since the release of “Teach The Children”, Thriller Prince continued to be an active Artist. Under a new alias Izeezi, he continued to release more music, and was recently a part of some performance events in parts of Jamaica. “Teach The Children” is still recognized by some.

Thank You Thriller Prince For This Tune.
