OLDIES SUNDAY: Mystic Revealers – Got To Be A Better Way (1991)

Posted on by swadedavillain

The world is troubled, and there’s a lot going on. Every day there’s some sort of conflict in family, friendships, and relationships. People are lead astray from all types of individuals and platforms, and even the most conscious or morally upstanding person can be corrupted. It’s a crazy world out there. Today’s Oldies Sunday selection comes from a Band that has delivered songs that aimed to make the listener more conscious of themselves, and more aware of what’s going on in the world. We go back in time to hear Mystic Revealers’ “Got To Be A Better Way“.

The self-produced “Got To Be A Better Way” was released through Sonic Sounds in 1991, and it finds Mystic Revealers seeking a way out of this world that has been tarnished for so long. They speak about wars, corrupt Politicians, poverty, hypocrisy, and they plead for the people to unite and develop solutions for a more positive world. The song was lead vocally by Billy “Mystic” Wilmot, and when performed live featured some deejaying by Dancehall Artist Angie Angel (the original version doesn’t contain her vocals, but it was somewhat sampled/remixed for a version with her called “What A Galang“). “Got To Be A Better Way” quickly became a hit for the Band locally, and was recognized internationally as it was released through MCA Records. The track was performed at Reggae Sunsplash, was featured on their 1993 album, “Jah Works“, and later on their 2015 “Crucial Cuts” compilation.

Mystic Revealers took their share of hiatuses over the years, but since the release of “Got To Be A Better Way”, they went on to release a number of singles and albums, and toured until a hiatus in the early 2000s. Lead Vocalist Billy Mystic went on to become a brand himself as he founded the Jamaica Surfing Association, opening the doors for the Caribbean’s Pro Surfing culture, and thanks to his acting prowess became a star on the popular Jamaican Soap Opera series “Royal Palm Estate” as the character “CC“. Mystic Revealers reconnected in the 2010s, released albums in 2015 and 2020. “Got To Be A Better Way” remains one of their most recognized singles.

Thank You Mystic Revealers For This Hit!

Bella Blair Keeps Them Talking With “Desperado” Single

Posted on by swadedavillain

Reggae/Dancehall Recording Artist/Actress Bella Blair is back again with something new! Having made a big return to music earlier this year, she’s on a mission to put her name on more billboards and fliers, and take her music to even more parts of the world. She has the ladies dancing to “Hotty Hotty Ting“, and now she’ll have the people talking with the new single, “Desperado“.

Produced by Yo Christon, “Desperado” finds Bella Blair bringing out a lil more of her bad gyal energy, while still giving us a song to rock to. Over some blaring horns, she steps out like an Outlaw with a spliff in hand, belting out quick flows, vocals that will have your attention throughout the track, and catchy lines that will have you repeating them in no time. Bella Blair continues to showcase her various styles, and “Desperado” may just be another favourite for the listeners. Bella is not slowing down anytime soon, so expect more from her like a storm.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Gyptian – Serious Times (2005)

Posted on by swadedavillain

With the month of October coming to a close, we’d like to highlight an Artist who made a significant dent when his music crossed over to the International market. A man who didn’t stick to one style, and earned a number of hits along the way. He recently celebrated his 40th birthday, and his name is Gyptian. On today’s Oldies Sunday, we look back at his debut single, “Serious Times“.

Produced by Kenneth Wilson on the “Spiritual War Riddim” and released through the Frenz Label in 2005, Gyptian shared some social commentary on “Serious Times”. The Singjay shares his observations on what’s affecting his community and the rest of the world, offers advice to listeners in their daily navigations, encourages everyone to be more in tune spiritually and socially, and to give thanks for life above ground. With the help of some African-inspired production and his own smooth vocals, “Serious Times” became Gyptian’s first hit. The track was featured on his 2006 debut album “My Name Is Gyptian“, which went on to make an Artist to watch locally, and Internationally. “Serious Times” was covered by a number of Artists, and was performed by a Student Choir during one season of the Jamaican “All Together Sing” High School Choir competition series.

Since the release of “Serious Times”, Gyptian went on to release more music that increased his profile locally, and eventually making him a bigger name overseas. His is still an active Artist, and is instantly recognized for his biggest hit “Hold Yuh”, but many still remember the new Artist in the mid-2000s who stepped out with “Serious Times”.

Thank You Gyptian For This Classic!

.@ZaggaMusic Shares That “Energy Never Lie” On New Album

Posted on by swadedavillain

The past few years have seen a rise in Jamaican Artists releasing EPs and albums. Some have blessed the Artists with many opportunities locally and Internationally, and others have become award winners. Artists like Zagga knew early on the importance of making albums a part of his catalogue. He has released 2 so far, and is going for the gold the 3rd time around with “Energy Never Lie“.

Featuring 12 tracks and released through Amini Music, Zagga steps out with positive messages, strong deliveries, and an array of different sounds for the “Energy Never Lie” album. The Artist has something for those who need a dose of positive energy, something for those who need to dance, something for the ladies, and contributions that will help to break the negative mindsets around the world. Production on the new album include the likes of 1Royalty Ent., Shakespeare, Extol Music, Wikid Media Music, Collect Di Bred Ent., Amini Music. Zagga holds his own for the most part, but invited friends like Moyann, Jahshii, and IWaata for a few tracks. Zagga has been deemed as an underrated Artist, but thanks to his consistency, more people are becoming more aware of him and his gifts. Energy never lied on this one.
