Missed @ReggaeSting 2023? Check Out Some Highlights

Posted on by swadedavillain

On December 26 in Jamaica, two things are celebrated. Boxing Day is the main one, and “The greatest one night Reggae and Dancehall show on Earth” a.k.a. “Sting“. This year marks the event’s 40th year, and the lineup looked to be one for the books. Though it had some setbacks in the past couple years, 2022 saw its return to the stage in St. Ann, but this year saw its return to the original venue of the Jamworld Entertainment Complex in Portmore, St. Catherine. For those who were not able to attend live or check it out online, we have a few highlights for you.

Sting 2023 brought out some of the giants in Reggae and Dancehall, and made way for emerging talent, which allowed many to experience that stage for the first time ever. Sting is also famous for its clashes, and a few acts fired off warning shots and scathing bars during. While we won’t reveal a whole lot, we invite you to tune in, and be entertained. Will Sting return for 2024? Maybe, but we hope it’s better in every way possible. Big up (Isaiah) Laing.

BIG UP TD CLIPS FOR THE FOOTAGE.

Posted on by swadedavillain

It was the day before Christmas, and everyone’s rushing. They’re either buying gifts to keep loved ones blushing, or checking off lists in grocery shopping. Regardless of what’s going on, it’s Christmas time on Oldies Sunday! We go back in time to check out a selection by UK Reggae Band The Cimarons called, “Holy Christmas“.

Produced by Robert Thompson and E. Mulby for A House Production and released through the Downtown label in 1971, The Cimarons celebrated the true reason for the season in “Holy Christmas”. The song recognizes the birth of Jesus Christ, and encourages everyone to sing of his birth, and foster the right spirit, and sing aloud. Backed by great production, the band delivered soulful vocals for a song that was instantly liked. Hope the season caught you in a good space. Please be safe this Christmas Eve.

With the year coming to a close, he has a few more things in store to gear up for, and one of them was his recently released single, “Bun Dem”.

Produced by the legendary DJ Karim for his Stainless Music imprint along with Kalonji Music, Sizzla is not holding back as he charges after the wicked and corrupt individuals of the world. Unleashing powerful lyrics and displaying great energy over the production, Sizzla burns the fire that will have the oppressors begging for mercy. The listener will feel like they need to suit up and join the Artist in war, chanting “Fire, fire, fire…” throughout. “Fire Bun” is just one of many new releases this year, and DJ Karim adds to his catalogue of hits as he enjoys over 20 years of feeding the masses with music.

In addition to new music, Sizzla’s presence was requested for the 2024 edition of “BRT Weekend”. Come March 2024, the Deejay will take the stage with fellow musical giants for a fun filled series of events in Ocho Rios, St. Ann.

Produced by Sugar Minott and released through Youth Promotion in 1989, “Rub-A-Dub Christmas” was all about the parties, the unity, the love, and the immense vibes during the holiday season. Anthony Selassie borrows the classic “Tis The Season” melody, and delivers a version that everyone got along with. If your Bank account was low, it didn’t matter because everyone felt irie when this one played. “Rub-A-Dub Christmas” was featured on the “Christmas Jamboree” compilation that featured Sugar Minott and a few of his friends, and was released through Youth Promotion. Roll up some Collie Weed, and boogie down with your partner to this one.

Since the release of “Rub-A-Dub Christmas”, Anthony Selassie continued to have an active music career with his latest release being earlier this year. “Rub-A-Dub Christmas” still gets played around the world, along with many other Christmas-themed songs.
