Posted on by swadedavillain

Recently, Jamaican music lost an Icon, the late Pluto Shervington. Quite the contributor to the culture, Shervington delivered a number of hits over the years, and lent his production prowess to a number of Artists. He will be missed by many. We’ve featured him previously, but today’s “Oldies Sunday” selection highlights his classic single, “Your Honour“.

Produced by Paul Khouri and released through the Wild Flower label in 1975, Pluto Shervington pleads his case in “Your Honour”. While held in Court, Pluto defends himself against an accusation that he was having relations with another man’s Wife. While he was caught in the couple’s bedroom closet and beaten by an angry Husband, he pleads that he is innocent, and shares that the Wife would defend him as he is a better man than the Husband. With its comedic element, “Your Honour” quickly became a hit for Pluto Shervington, securing a place in the UK Top 20 Music Chart. The song was included on the albums “Pluto” and “Again“.

Since the release of “Your Honour”, Pluto Shervington enjoyed a career locally and Internationally, performing at various venues, and releasing many more songs. Shervington transitioned on January 19, 2024, leaving behind a legacy that will be celebrated for years to come. “Your Honour” remains one of his most recognized singles.

No matter what’s going on in the world, Mortimer will step out with a love song. The Reggae Artist has been busy recording and performing in recent months, and even made appearances on records for other Artists.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Last year, we highlighted that come 2024, an official Biopic on the life of the late Reggae legend Bob Marley will be released. Titled “Bob Marley: One Love”, we shared that a number of prominent names in Jamaican music will make their acting debuts as key characters. One name, who will also play a key character, wasn’t announced until recently. His name is Alex Gallimore, but the music scene knows him as Alexx A-Game.

Alexx A-Game will make his acting debut in the long-awaited “Bob Marley: One Love” Film. Playing the role of the legendary Peter Tosh, A-Game knows that his role is very important as the late Tosh was a founding member of The Wailers along with Marley and the late Bunny Wailer, and an iconic figure in Reggae Music. “I’m still searching for words to express the feeling,” shared an ecstatic A-Game in a recent Instagram post. “I’m more than honored to be a part of the telling of the legendary story of BOB MARLEY. It has been a life changing experience. Thanks to Avy Kaufman, Reinaldo Marcus-Green, Ziggy Marley, and Paramount Pictures and the rest of the team for trusting me with the role of an iconic and legendary figure such as ‘Peter Tosh’. I got a chance to work with some of the most amazing people in Film/Production who are now family.“

Young GT Links Up With Sizzla On “Badness Don’t Pay”

Posted on by swadedavillain

There are many ways you can start off a new day, week, month, and year, but it is always good to start on a positive note. A key thing to know is that good will always prevail over evil. Manchester/US-based Recording Artist Young GT has a message that he wants to share, and that is, “Badness Don’t Pay“.

With a video directed by Romaine Visuals, “Badness Don’t Pay” is Young GT’s latest single with Reggae/Dancehall Icon Sizzla Kalonji. Together they emphasize the message that it’s “Good over evil“, and watch out for those that try to take you off the good path. The video was shot at Judgment Yard in August Town and Broadleaf, Manchester, and it shows what happens to those who study evil, and how the tables can turn on them. Jamaica’s crime rate continues to rise, and without positive outlets to help the people, it can get worse. Lots of corruption out here, but it takes some good people to make the right moves. Young GT has been on the scene for quite a while, and with this Sizzla collaboration, expect to hear more of him.

.@JadaKingdom Samples A Sizzla Classic For “Those Days”

Posted on by swadedavillain

January is a month for new music, and a few highly-anticipated ones have been given the green light. Last year, Dancehall Artist Jada Kingdom previewed a single called, “Those Days“. The opening vocals instantly took listeners back in time as Reggae/Dancehall Icon Sizzla Kalonji’s 2002 classic “Just One Of Those Days” was the featured sample, drumming up a lot of requests for its release. The wait is over as Jada finally unleashed the tune.

Produced by Stephen “Di Genius” McGregor and released through Money Well Spent, Jada Kingdom shares some of her down times on “Those Days”. She asserts her value, emphasizing her need to take care of herself and people who matter the most to her. Her days may not always be the best, she holds the faith, keeps an eye on fleeting people in her life, and move forward as stress free as possible. The sampled “Just One Of Those Days” by Sizzla was produced by the late “Bobby Digital” Dixon, and is one of Kalonji’s biggest hits to date having successfully crossed over on the International market in the early 2000s. We believe there’s a remixed version of “Those Days” featuring fresh vocals from Sizzla, but we’ll have to wait and see if that will materialize. Jada Kingdom has hinted that she’s working on an album and more music with “Di Genius”, we just have to stay tuned to see what’s next. Just one of those days…
