We Pay Tribute To The Late Rhiya Luna In Our Latest Playlist

Posted on by swadedavillain

This post is dedicated to a Mother, a sister, a very unique talent, and a friend. She was born Shaneika Martin, but the music scene first knew her as “Shie“, then later on, Rhiya Luna. We lost this dear individual on March 2 after a long battle with Illness, and it has really left a dark cloud over many who received the news. She was a longtime friend and supporter of this platform, and she was destined to do great things. It’s never easy when you lose a loved one, and one can only keep their memory alive through previous interactions, and their works and hobbies. Today, we pay tribute to Rhiya Luna with a tribute Playlist titled, “Long Live Rhiya Luna“.

For over an hour, listeners can tune in to some of the tracks that Rhiya Luna shared with the world over the years. From Dancehall singles, to R&B and Pop-inspired tracks, to songs with positive messages, she was on her way to doing even more, but life had other plans. She got to share the stage with some great talent, and when there were doubts, she was backed by many who truly believed in her and wanted to see her win. She leaves behind a family who will honour her name, and listeners like us will ensure that the people heard her. Long live Rhiya Luna, sleep well my friend ❤️.

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 mission is not complete, and he has plenty more to do. Today, he shares his latest single, “Bad News“.

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.

Blvk H3ro "Runaway" on 13thStreetPromotions.com #Jamaica #Dancehall #Music #13thStreetPromotions #BlvkH3ro #Runaway #LoudCity #KingIVier #MusicVideo #Caribbean

.@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.
