.@BlvkH3ro Makes Producer Debut On Sizzla & Anthony B’s “Victory”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Since the late 2010s, Recording Artist Blvk H3ro has been putting in the work to become one of the standout acts in the “Future Reggae” lane. With many years now behind him, he has secured record deals, growth in his fanbase, high profile collaborations and cosigns, consistent bookings, crossing over to the International market, and even earned a GRAMMY nomination. He isn’t slowing down however, and recently he made his debut as a Producer on the single, “Victory“.

“Victory” is a collaboration between Reggae Icons Sizzla Kalonji, and Anthony B. Blvk H3ro’s Producer debut was done with Island Vibe Agency, and the track finds the Reggae acts praising Jah, providing words of motivation for the people, calling for an end to corruption, and encouraging many to be more in tune with the Creator. Sizzla and Anthony B always make for a good collab, and Blvk H3ro scored a solid first release as he provided the sound for two Artists who he considers his musical inspirations. For those who didn’t know, Anthony B previously worked with H3ro on the “On A Mission” album. H3ro is also working on a new album, with a possible release this year, so stay tuned.

OLDIES SUNDAY: The In-Crowd – Marcus Garvey’s Back In Town (1979)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today (January 19) is a historic day. While many are experiencing the on and off in terms of Social Media platform TikTok, this morning it was revealed that Jamaica’s first National Hero, Marcus Garvey, was posthumously pardoned by the Biden Administration in the United States. This comes after more than 101 years after he was convicted of Mail Fraud in 1923. The case was accused of having racial and political overtones, and many advocates rallied for a pardon over the decades, but to no avail. In US President Joe Biden’s final day, he made the pardon possible, and on “Oldies Sunday“, we celebrate. Today’s selection comes from The In-Crowd with the track, “Marcus Garvey’s Back In Town“.

Produced by Phil Mathias, written by Fil Callender, and released through Weed Beat in 1979, “Marcus Garvey’s Back In Town” was The In-Crowd’s way of bringing the late National Hero to the public again, and pay tribute to him. They speak about his influence, his works and contributions to advancing Black People, and encouraging the people to fight for their rights, and demand reparations. The upbeat production carries the solid lyrics throughout, persuading the public to take an ear, and be inspired to do the right thing. “Marcus Garvey’s Back In Town” gained popularity when it was released, and was featured on the group’s 1978 album, “His Majesty Is Coming“.

Today’s a big day in Jamaican and Black History, and let’s see what other possibilities are there in the coming future.

Thank You The In-Crowd For This Classic!

OLDIES SUNDAY: Jahmali – El Shaddai (1997)

Posted on by swadedavillain

2025 has started off with a number of incidents, and hopefully they aren’t indications of what to expect for the rest of the year. When it comes to music, we just have to deliver content where one can find some peace and order for a few moments. Today’s “Oldies Sunday” selection comes from Reggae Artist Jahmali, and we highlight his single, “El Shaddai“.

Produced by Donovan Germain and released through Penthouse Records in 1997, Jahmali provides a song of rejoicing in, “El Shaddai”. The title means “God Almighty“, and the song encourages listeners to find peace in God every time. The song speaks on what’s going on in the world, and aims to be a guide for those who need a center, and a push into the right direction to fulfill their destinies. “El Shaddai” quickly became a hit for Jahmali, and spread throughout the world. The song was featured on the 1998 album of the same name, and became Jahmali’s biggest hit. The song was sampled in 2015 by Reggae Artist Exco Levi, and featured Jahmali as well.

Since the release of “El Shaddai”, Jahmali went on to release more music over the years. He is still active in Reggae, and many still remember his hit single.

Thank You Jahmali For This Classic!

When you’re all about someone, and they’re focused on other things, it can be a frustrating experience. St. Vincent and The Grenadines-born/Canada-based Recording Artist Skiifall finds himself in a dilemma in the new single, “Her World“.

Produced by Kenny Beats, who taps into some classic Reggae sounds, “Her World” features an appearance by UK Songbird Jorja Smith. On the track, Skiifall finds himself questioning his lover if she’s about being with him, or is she going with her options in the streets. The situation is a painful one as Skii has been let down by her before, but he believes they make a great union, and he’s not accepting defeat. Jorja plays the lover on the track, and she tries to let him down easy as she wishes to see what else is out there, leaving him behind. Many can relate to this song here, and the scenario is played daily by various characters. Skiifall has been on the scene for a while, and is gearing up to release his new EP, “Lovers Till I’m Gone” later this year. To the lovers out there, guard your heart.
