“Reggae Month” may be coming to an end, but Reggae continues everyday. The year will continue to hear more music from Reggae Artists new and old, and the vibe will always be an uplifting one. The works of Production team Silly Walks Discotheque remain as powerful as ever, and this year will see the team deliver even more music. Recently, they recruited Miami-based Recording Artist Kaylan Arnold for the single, “Joy“, and earlier we get the official Music Video.

Shot in a number of locations, Kaylan is spreading the love everywhere she goes, producing smiles, laughter, and a lot more. “Joy” is one of the latest releases off of Silly Walks’ “Sandy Park Riddim“, and has been picking up steam throughout “Reggae Month”.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Jimmy Cliff – We All Are One (1983)

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s Reggae Month in Jamaica, and we continue to show respect to those who have contributed to the further development and success of Reggae on “Oldies Sunday“. Today’s entry highlights a Jamaican Rockstar who helped to set the standard. We look back at Jimmy Cliff, and his track, “We All Are One“.

Produced by Amir Bayyan, Jim Bonnefond, and Ronald Bell and released through Columbia/CBS in 1983, Jimmy Cliff promoted unity in “We All Are One”. Cliff reminds us that despite our race, age, culture, and nationality, we are all human with similar qualities and features at the end of the day, and we should treat each other better. Cliff delivers melodies over some solid production that taps into Reggae and Pop sounds, and “We All Are One” quickly became a hit for him. The single was featured on Cliff’s GRAMMY-nominated 1983 album, “The Power And The Glory“. Jimmy Cliff was one of the Artists who helped in bringing Reggae to International popularity in the early stages, and has inspired many around the world.

Since the release of “We All Are One”, Jimmy Cliff went on to release more music. He is a 2 time GRAMMY winner, was given the Order of Merit by the Government of Jamaica, was assigned as a Peace Ambassador for the United Nations, has been a part of many Humanitarian campaigns, and continues to contribute to the extension of Reggae music around the world. “We All Are One” remains one of his memorable hits.

Thank You Jimmy Cliff For This Classic!

.@McKadaMusic Tackles Catcalling On “Psst” Single

Posted on by swadedavillain

In Jamaica, there is a catcalling culture that has come under fire a number of times. Some Women find to be a form of harassment, and in recent times they have found ways to set boundaries to hinder its widespread. Reggae Artist McKada has experienced being catcalled numerous times in her life, and with her new single, “Psst“, she looks to put a stop to it.

Released through her McKada Music imprint and co-produced with Raymar “GSharp” Rochester, McKada is not entertaining anyone who catcalls her in “Psst”. The song finds her calling out the Men who think it’s nice when a Woman’s catcalled, but when she doesn’t entertain them, she’s insulted. The song is accompanied by a Music Video directed by Garreth Daley, and it finds the Singer walking through a community and she is approached by a number of Men throughout. Many stories of harassment are shared regularly on Social Media where Women have been subjected to various forms of abuse when rejecting Men’s catcalling. Sadly, there have also been stories of Women succumbing to attacks on their lives when they have rejected a Man’s unethical approach. McKada is doing her part in halting the rise in domestic violence cases in Jamaica, and “Psst” looks to be one that helps to inspire movements in not only Jamaica, but the Caribbean and the rest of the world.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Gregory Isaacs – If I Don’t Have You (1981)

Posted on by swadedavillain

This Friday will be Valentine’s Day, and we know there will be many who will be in the loving mood, taking the time out to give their lover gifts, and take them out on dates. For the rest of the world, it’s just another Friday. We wanted to get ahead of the crowd with an “Oldies Sunday” selection that is nothing short of a classic. We go back to the 80s to tune in to “The Cool Ruler” Gregory Isaacs’ “If I Don’t Have You“.

The self-produced “If I Don’t Have You” was released in 1981 through the Pre and Charisma labels, Gregory Isaacs delivered a song so relatable with “If I Don’t Have You”. When it comes to someone you have a deep admiration and love for, you’ll want to do everything to ensure it’s perfect. For Gregory, he believes she is that one Woman that checks all the lists, is his ideal match, and his forever love. If he messes it up, he has no desire to seek another. “If I Don’t Have You” was an instant hit for Gregory locally and Internationally, and listeners fell in love with his signature smooth delivery, and the lyrics definitely connected. The track was included in his 1981 album, “More Gregory“. The track was also referenced in Brooklyn Rapper Yasiin Bey (fka Mos Def) in his 1999 single, “Ms. Fat Booty“. “If I Don’t Have You” is considered one of Gregory Isaacs’ most popular songs, and it ranks high among his extensive catalogue.

Since the release of “If I Don’t Have You”, Gregory Isaacs secured his place as one of the legends of Jamaican music, releasing many albums and singles over the years. His life was cut short in 2010, but his music continues to live on. Many of his love songs are played during the Valentine’s season, including “If I Don’t Have You”. Happy Valentine’s Day in advance.

THANK YOU MR. ISAACS! CHECK OUT OUR GREGORY ISAACS PLAYLIST!
