.@Iotosh Deals With Some “Bad News” On New Single

Posted on by swadedavillain

For a number of years, Producer/Recording Artist Iotosh has been putting in the work to make his name prominent in Jamaica, and various parts of the world. His career steered him into the direction of working with high-profile Artists, securing GRAMMY nominations, and generating great streaming numbers. His mission is not complete, and he has plenty more to do. Today, he shares his latest single, “Bad News“.

Iotosh handles the production on “Bad News” with release through his Sound Ting label, and he goes through the emotions while dealing with a loss. Over classic Reggae sounds, he expresses what many can relate to when it comes to dealing with the loss of a loved one. Losing someone you were close to is never easy, and we can remember the initial reaction, and where we were when we first heard the news. Iotosh continues to work on music that will tap into every vibe and situation, and we can keep our fingers crossed to see if he’ll finally release a project later this year. Here today, gone tomorrow. R.I.P. to those we have lost.

Posted on by swadedavillain

The saying goes, “Every ghetto yute waan rich“, and that statement couldn’t be more true as there are many who go through various avenues in hope of becoming successful. Many have ventured into entertainment and earned their riches, while others have flexed their entrepreneurial muscles and built their success from the ground up. Recording Artist Yaksta is one of those individuals who wants his riches the right way, and he shares his ambitions on, “Rich A Morning“.

Produced by PotSink Records on the “Bread Crumbs Riddim“, Yaksta has his eyes on the prize in “Rich A Morning”. He pictures living in a Townhouse, he wants to take his family out of impoverished areas, he wants to generate wealth, even if it takes a longer time to make it happen. He believes in working for what’s his, and will not allow himself to be corrupted, nor will he go against his morals for riches. Yaksta has been steadily making good moves in his career, and they have resulted in hits singles, bookings locally and internationally, and a growing fanbase that supports his every move. Yaksta is working on new music to be released later this year, and is possibly working on the follow up to his “22” album. Believe in the dream.

.@BlvkH3ro Shares New “Runaway” Single

Posted on by swadedavillain

When it comes to music, Blvk H3ro uses it as a medium to share stories, display abilities and talents, and bring people together. It took a lot to get him where he is now, and he still has more to do in order to fully solidify himself as a legend. His music has taken him to distant lands, but on “Runaway“, he does some reflection, and more.

Produced by King I-Vier, Blvk H3ro gets vulnerable on “Runaway”. He shares the many challenges that he has overcome, the moments of pain, the burdens that he carried all while chasing his dreams, and pursuing his passions that resulted into success later down. Even thoughout the success, he admits there are still battles that he is fighting, and it’ll make him, and anyone else want to run away from it all. Many knew of Hervin Bailey Jr. who strongly believed in his craft and made sacrifices in the pursuit, who would later become Blvk H3ro who is known in various parts of the world, with a fanbase that supports his every move. The Efe-directed music video that accompanied the single finds him in a remote location giving the viewer a passionate performance of his track. Had he fell victim to his doubts, we may not have known the Artist that he is today. The journey is never an easy one.

OLDIES SUNDAY: @MorganHeritage – Tell Me How Come (2005)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Last Sunday (February 25), the music world suffered another loss as Peter “Peetah” Morgan, lead Vocalist of Morgan Heritage, passed away. While many are saddened by the news, there are some of us who have to celebrate him in the best way we can. Today on “Oldies Sunday“, we celebrate Peetah’s legacy, and celebrate the group with the selection, “Tell Me How Come“.

Produced by Donovan Bennett for Don Corleon Records on the “Seasons Riddim“, Morgan Heritage’s “Tell Me How Come” was released in 2005 through VP Records. The track speaks about the many injustices that have been happening in Jamaica, and the people who are going through it are crying out for help. They highlight the persecution of Rastafarians, corruption from those in power, crime and violence in the country, the inequalities when it comes to uptown vs downtown, Artists being locked up, and they question the validity of the Motto, “Out Of Many One People” while so much wrong is happening. Peetah Morgan leads the charge on the track, and the group share strong messages that quickly connected with the listener. “Tell Me How Come” became a hit for the group, and was featured on the group’s 2005 album, “Full Circle“. A music video, which was directed by Jay Will, was made in support of the single.

Since the release of “Tell Me How Come”, Morgan Heritage went on to release more music, dealt with band members leaving for solo careers and other ventures, solidifying their status as one of Reggae biggest groups, copped a couple GRAMMY awards as well, and recently suffered the loss of Peetah Morgan, who was fighting a long battle with illness. Morgan Heritage was many hits to their name, but “Tell Me How Come” remains a favourite for many.

Thank You Morgan Heritage For This Classic.

Sleep Well Peetah Morgan.

.@Protoje Steps Out With “Legend Legend”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Protoje is at it again. For over a decade, the Artist has been providing music that connects with the listener in various ways, and has built a movement that has been growing rapidly around the world. Fresh off of his massive staging of the “Lost In Time Festival“, Protoje releases, “Legend Legend“.

Produced by The FaNaTiX, Protoje solidifies his position as an Icon in “Legend Legend”. The track is a testament of the impact he has had in his music career, and we are aware of the work it took to get there. The song also recognizes another legend, Bob Marley. Even after his death in 1981, Marley is a global Icon, and the recent release of the “Bob Marley: One Love” Film is evidence that the Gong is generational. Fun Fact: Protoje name dropped Bob Marley albums throughout “Legend Legend”. Accompanying the single, is a Music Video directed by Samo, and it finds Protoje in his element, and shares highlights of what happened at the 2023 staging of the “Lost In Time Festival”. A new album is on the way. Is Protoje in your top ten?
