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…

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.

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.
