Posted on by swadedavillain

Recording Artist Runkus has been brewing up something good for a while, and he’s ready for the world to indulge in it. Known for his unorthodox wordplay and a flow that always stands out, and his consistency in song creating has resulted in people moving their feet, and getting their knowledge up. He takes his music to a higher level with the new “SUPERNOVA” album.

Featuring 13 tracks, Runkus aligns with Bahamian Conceptual Artist, Tavares Strachan for the new “SUPERNOVA” album. A follow up to the well-received “IN:SIDE” and “OUT:SIDE” albums, Runkus returns with more thought-provoking content, and extends his catalogue that has been lauded by many. Stratchan’s involvement in the album comes in the form of its cover titled, “A Map of the Crown (Fulani Red)“, which was inspired by Eve, the first Woman of creation.

Production on “SUPERNOVA” features production from the likes of Prodj, RiddimBoss, Chopstix, KaleX, A Guy Called Purple, and Runkus himself, while Sean Paul, and vocals from the late Peter Tosh grace a couple tracks. The Lyricist returns to his arena with something powerful.

Fee Fi Foe, Yaksta Releases “The Return” Ahead Of New Album

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recording Artist Yaksta has been very busy these past few weeks. From Media appearances to music releases, he’s building on his rollout for his new album, “The Microphone Saved Me“. With “Roar” connecting with more people, it’s only right he delivers more music to build more anticipation. He follows up with the new single, “The Return“.

Produced by Track Starr, Yaksta makes bold steps on “The Return”. He doesn’t bite his tongue here, and he’s calling out the colonizers, the deceivers, the snakes, and the oppressors. He has seen too much corruption happening, and he’s letting the fire blaze, and the chants ring out, and his sword slice through the screens. The energy he brought in “Roar”, is amplified on “The Return”, and will be greater on “The Microphone Saved Me”. Yakst continues to showcase his diversity, emphasizes that he lives his life with a certain order, and encourages us to seek out the right in this crazy world. Keep the fire burning, and “NPT” the “Bush Lawd“.

Dennis Brown’s “Revolution” Featured In New “Apex” Film

Posted on by swadedavillain

Over the weekend, streaming giant Netflix released the much-anticipated Film, “Apex“. Starring Charlize Theron and Taron Egerton, the Film revolves around a Woman who goes on rock climbing excursions in Australia, becoming the target of a Hunter. The survival Thriller quickly found fans, and rang up the numbers over the weekend. The Film features a soundtrack that blends well with some of the action scenes, but for the not-so-action parts, a familiar sound from Jamaica made an appearance.

During a small scene of the new Film, “Apex”, Reggae Icon Dennis Brown’s “Revolution” was featured. Produced by Sly & Robbie and released through the Taxi label in 1983, Brown called for the people to stand up and fight for what is right. If you want a life that’s peaceful, a life that is good and filled with love, you have to join the ranks and fight. The track was featured on Brown’s 1985 album of the same name, was sampled by Bounty Killa and Public Enemy, and covered by Bad Brains. “Revolution” is also one of Dennis Brown’s most popular singles.

“Apex” starring Charlize Theron and Taron Egerton is out now on Netflix.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Bim Lewis & Clover – Sweet Heart (1975)

Posted on by swadedavillain

One thing with Jamaicans, we’ll take anything and turn it into a song. From hard times, to achieving success, to the ups and downs of a relationship, to something that occurred 5 mins ago, and they’ll all be hit singles. For today’s “Oldies Sunday” selection, we share a situation that is somewhat common in many relationships, the other person. We go back in time to check out Ed Lewis a.k.a. “Bim” Lewis and Hyacinth Clover a.k.a. Clover’s “Sweet Heart“.

Produced by Chap Productions and released through the Dawn label and Village Records in 1975, Bim Lewis and Clover play the role of a married couple, and they deal with the possibility of a 3rd partner in, “Sweet Heart”. Bim shares with his Wife that he has a lady on the side, and the Mistress has expressed that she and the Wife should be friends. For Bim, that sounds like a great idea, but for Clover, she’s not putting up with that. She believes her Man is HER Man, and should not be shared with another Woman. Bim on the other hand, believes that he should have the best of both worlds, a Wife who does her duties and plays her role, while the Mistress covers ground when the Wife is unavailable. Bim is warming up to the idea of an Open Marriage, but it quickly goes sour when Clover shares she’d indulge if she has a Man on the side, and he should be friends with her Husband.

“Sweet Heart” quickly became popular in Jamaica, and its theme of infidelity was relatable. The track was featured on the Comedy Play, “Gun Court Affair“. Bim and Clover were a part of the “Bim, Bam and Clover” Comedy/Music troupe with Aston “Bam” Wynter, which started from “Bim & Bam”, the comedic duo who entertained many with their Comedy-Dramas since the 1930s. Unfortunately, the duo started out by adopting the blackface Minstrel style of the era, but over the years would try to phase out of that. Bim and Hyacinth Clover, who was the Sister of the legendary Singer Ken Boothe, were actually married, and their content when it came to relationships quickly resonated with their audience. Bim & Bam also helped in the development of the careers of Ska legend Derrick Morgan, and legendary Saxophonist/Co-Founder of The Skatalites Ronald Alphonso.

Since the release of “Sweet Heart”, Bim Lewis and Clover continued to do more releases under “Bim, Bam and Clover”. Bim would pass away in 1976, and Clover would continue the productions until she passed away in the 2000s. “Sweet Heart” is still played around the world, with many sharing that it was a guilty pleasure in their youth as many were children when it was first released.

THANK YOU BIM AND CLOVER FOR THIS CLASSIC!
