In a time where there are external and internal wars going on around the world, it takes some great people to step forward and lead the people into the light. Many have taken the stance, including Manchester-based Recording Artist/Producer Abka Kaba. He wishes for the world to be a better place, but it takes something powerful to make it happen. He contributes to that with, “Behold“.

Released through Roots N Creations Records on the previously-released “360 Riddim”, Abka Kaba utilizes his platform to promote change in “Behold”. Over some solid production, he calls for peace, love, and unity in this world that is filled with conflict. The time has come for the real ones to stand up, and make a stop to the madness out there. Extending his creativity, Abka released a Music Video for the single. Along with his Kahinga Films company, he taps into the power of A.I. to bring forth a Music Video that finds a character calling that positive change to happen, and unite the people through music. Abka cannot campaign for change alone, and he encourages everyone to do their part. We just want a life that’s good. Here’s to better days.

DYCR Calls Out P. Diddy In Latest Release

Posted on by swadedavillain

If you’ve been living under a rock for the past few days, International Music Executive/Producer/Recording Artist/Mogul Sean “P. Diddy” Combs was arrested by the FBI for a number of charges that range from racketeering, to sex trafficking. He is currently detained in Brooklyn, New York, and the public has been invested in the developments, and sharing theories about who may be committing heinous crimes with the “Diddler“. Dub Poet Delroy Chandler a.k.a. DYCR used his platform earlier to share his thoughts on the situation, and released a new selection called, “You Did It Diddy“.

Over Reggae production, DYCR asks the important questions on “You Did It Diddy”. He asks Diddy about his current allegations, his involvement in the deaths of Rappers 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G., and emphasizes that he should be punished for his crimes. The Feds have been watching Diddy for a while, and DYCR urges the former Ciroc Spokesperson to admit it all, and let the law do its job. What a poco poco indeed. DYCR’s charged delivery makes for this selection one to really listen to, and his social commentary has been connecting with many this year as he shared pieces about Vybz Kartel’s release, and even recorded over the “Dutty Money Riddim“. As the world awaits news on Diddy, DYCR continues to let his creativity flow with new selections.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Messenjah – Rock You High (1982)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Reggae Music has enjoyed a number of “firsts” over the decades, and there are times we forget about them. For today’s “Oldies Sunday” selection, we highlight one of them. Today, we head over to North America to check out Canadian Reggae Band Messenjah’s “Rock You High“.

Produced by Rupert “Ojiji” Harvey and released through Phonyx Records in 1982, Messenjah came to shake the nation with good music on “Rock You High”. Taking the music to a new stage at the time, Messenjah was the first Canadian Reggae Band to sign to a major label (Warner Music Canada a.k.a. WEA). The track got a lot of attention for the Band as it quickly became well known outside of Canada, and it became a part of their live shows over the years. The track was released through their Independently-released debut album of the same name, which went on to be a success.

Since the release of “Rock You High”, Messenjah went on to become one of Canada’s most popular and successful Reggae Bands. The Band went on to release more music, collect awards, toured for a number of years, and even being featured in the movie “Cocktail” starring a then up and coming Actor named Tom Cruise. Messenjah disband in the late 1990s, but reunited with some members in 2014 for a Bob Marley tribute concert in Toronto. “Rock You High” remains one of their most popular releases.

Thank You Messenjah For This Hit!
