Sizzla & DJ Karim Trample The Demons On “Fire Bun”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Reggae/Dancehall Icon Sizzla Kalonji has been having a busy 2023. With new music, community development, live performances, and tours, he is running off of a different type of energy. 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. BRT Weekend will celebrate their 12 year anniversary with their event, and they hold their own as the world’s biggest Caribbean Music Festival. Party goers will be tuned in as Sizzla delivers the hits, and celebrate great music.

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.

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!

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.
