Turbulence Celebrates “Love Forever”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Reggae is love, and for decades it has been put on display by many Artists. Rastafari is love, and Recording Artist Turbulence’s catalogue has a number of selections for the lovers. Before the V-Day celebrations, he celebrates “Love Forever“.

Produced by Countree Hype on the “Flimstone Riddim“, Turbulence shares the importance of love between two people in, “Love Forever”. Along with the good times come the bad ones, and that special can never be broken a part. There will be those who spew hate, spread propaganda, and do a manner of things to break up happy homes, but true love will never die. The single is accompanied by a music video directed by Clipz By Will, and while Turbulence delivers his song, we see a couple bond in a number of ways throughout. During Reggae Month, let the music inspire new beginnings, rekindle lost connections, and secure two hearts that are in it for life. Love wins!

OLDIES SUNDAY: Perfect Giddimani – Hand Cart Bwoy (2004)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Reggae is a music of love, and before the Valentine’s Day weekend, we thought we’d not only celebrate love, but celebrate the versatility of Reggae being it is Reggae Month on “Oldies Sunday“. For today’s selection, we go back in time to check out Perfect Giddimani’s “Hand Cart Bwoy“.

Produced by Rebel Chris for Rebel Musik in 2004, it’s all about two different world finding that love, and becoming a union in Perfect Giddimani’s “Hand Cart Bwoy”. Perfect shares his upbringing to one that’s not rich in wealth, but in love, and his chance meeting with a Woman who may have come from a more privileged place. They instantly clicked, and despite their backgrounds, they’ve managed to share love, and build a companionship that comes right out of the Romance novels. It’s the kind of love that’s not based on what you have, it’s your character, something that’s missing in a lot of relationships today. “Hand Cart Bwoy” was an instant hit for Perfect, and found its way to connect with many on the International market. The song would later be featured on his 2006 debut album, “Giddimani“. “Hand Cart Bwoy” was sampled by Cutthroat Mode in 2017 for a song of the same name.

Since the release of “Hand Cart Bwoy”, Perfect Giddimani continued to enjoy a career with a few more hits, and has been a touring Artist for a number of years. “Hand Cart Bwoy” remains one of his biggest songs, and is one to play for the lovers.

THANK YOU PERFECT GIDDIMANI FOR THIS CLASSIC!

Jah Cure & T.O.K Sampled On New @JColeNC Album, “The Fall-Off”

Posted on by swadedavillain

New music is in the air, and many are breathing it all in now. American Rapper/Producer J. Cole earlier released his long-awaited album, “The Fall-Off“. The new album serves as his supposed final project, and is chock full of selections for the fans, and music lovers. The double disc covers various aspects of his life and music career, but there are familiar sounds featured throughout.

On the track, “Only You“, a track featuring Burna Boy and features production from T-Minus, DZL, and Luca Mauti, J. Cole raps about Fatherhood, the trial and tribulations of a long-term relationship, and the negative effects that can come from success. The track taps into a variety of sounds, but particularly tapped into something from Jamaica. “Only You” sampled Jah Cure’s “Longing For“, and T.O.K’s “Footprints” from the “Drop Leaf Riddim“. Released in 2004 and produced by Don Corleon a.k.a. Donovan Bennett for Don Corleon Records, “Longing For” was one of Jah Cure’s most successful releases while “Footprints” became one of T.O.K’s top crossover singles in the 2000s.

Jah Cure was incarcerated during the release of “Longing For”, and the track built heavy anticipation for the Singer locally and Internationally. It was later featured on his 2005 album “True Reflections…A New Beginning“. J. Cole’s “Only You” title borrows a lyric from the track as well. “Footprints” found T.O.K at the top of their game. The group that consisted of Alex, Bay-C, Craigy T, and Flexx eyed more International looks, the 2000s was good to them. “Footprints” gained Islandwide appeal, but when the music video premiered on US channels BET and MTV, the single secured a sizable part of the International market, and would be a mainstay for years to come. “Footprints” was featured on the group’s 2005 album, “Unknown Language“. Don Corleon’s “Drop Leaf Riddim” remains one of his most successful Riddims, and the 2004 release featured tracks from Bounty Killa, Morgan Heritage, Sizzla, Tanya Stephens, Gentleman, Luciano, Maxi Priest, and more.

J. Cole’s new album, “The Fall-Off” is out now.

.@JobyJayMusic Shows Resilience On Powerful New Single, “Fighter”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Reggae Music was always rebellious. It rebelled against society, called for more consciousness, and fought against oppression and practitioners of it. Bob Marley was one of the genre’s biggest Ambassadors who called for liberation of the people, encouraged them to be resilient against the powers of evil, and his work continues to inspire generations. Recording Artist Joby Jay is one of those Artists who cites Marley as one of her inspirations. She channels him on his birthday with the release of, “Fighter“.

Produced by Mark-Anthony Reid for MAR Music, Joby Jay shares an anthem of self-liberation, mental strength, resilience, and defiance against the oppressors in, “Fighter”. Joby has observed the way the world has been running and what people have been experiencing, and she gets vulnerable here showing her battle scars, her determination to overcome and heal, and her substantial growth through it all. The song serves as encouragement for listeners to stand for what’s right, and fight, wherever they may be in the world. In the darkest of times, we need the music to help us survive, help us thrive, and help us overcome all that aim to keep us in the dark. Let Joby Jay be the voice to bring back that light. Fans of the Singer can catch her performing at the “Lost In Time Festival” on February 28 at Hope Gardens, Kingston where she shares the stage with Protoje, Tanya Stephens, Lila Ike, and more. This one is for the rebels.

Posted on by swadedavillain

2026 is Ras-I’s year. The Recording Artist has been teasing for a good part of last year that an album was on the way. Many have been enjoying his musical output live and on the streams over the past couple years, and more people have been sharing that they want more. Come May, Ras-I will deliver his 3rd album, “Heart Of Love“. Until then, he gives you a dose of it via the new single, “These Are The Days“.

Produced by Koastal Kings/Ras-I Musique and featuring Kabaka Pyramid, “These Are The Days” is the collaboration many have been yearning for. While they have collaborated previously on “Do The Right” (Kabaka was the Producer), they take it to another level with trading verses about living life abundantly after putting in the work, combining faith and dedication to make their dreams a reality, and giving thanks for where they’re are now in life. Kicking off “Album SZN” in a big way, fans of Ras-I will get a preview of more to come in the coming weeks, so stay tuned. Natty Dread at the helm, tune in.
