Bugle & Nation Boss - "Experience" music video on 13thStreetPromotions.com #Jamaica #Reggae #BugleAn9ted #NationBoss

“Experience” @BugleAn9ted & @1NationBoss’ Collaboration In New Visual

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s been close to 2 months since Reggae/Dancehall Artist Bugle released his latest album, “Toxicity“. The album has been doing well since its release, with fans sharing their favourite selections, and praising Bugle for another great body of work. The grind continues as Bugle has been putting out quality content in support of the album. While many were thrilled with the Nation Boss collaboration called, “Experience“, you can now enjoy it even more with the release of its music video.

Directed by KhingCam and done in collaboration with Cooriya Bikes, Bugle and Nation Boss ride through the Kingston streets bringing their track to life. The single was highly anticipated before its summer 2021 release, and helped to drum up even more buzz for the “Toxicity” album. The Cooriya Bikes have a buzz though, we may need a couple of them with our branding (who can make that happen? 🥺). The visual for “Experience” is a clean one, and shows some well needed unity, and some fun thanks to the bike riding. Look out for more Bugle content.

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s a great Sunday, and a Oldies Sunday! It’s also the day we celebrate one of Jamaica’s greatest Reggae Artists, Everton Blender on his 67th Birthday. Today we honour him on Oldies Sunday with one of his classic tracks, “Family Man“.

Produced by Richard “Bello” Bell on the “Tempo Riddim” and released on the Star Trail label in 1995, Everton Blender’s “Family Man” was a song that was made for the working men who had to do what was necessary to take care of their families. No matter what was going on, Everton had to stay strong in his faith, and overcome the daily challenges to make it good things happen. “Family Man” was one of Blender’s popular singles, and still remains one of his more recognizable tracks. Possessing strong lyrics, Everton Blender’s mission was to make good music with positive messages that would connect with many around the world. Since the release of “Family Man”, Everton Blender went on to release more singles and albums, and is still active today. Put “Family Man” in your classic songs rotation today.

Thank You Everton Blender!

Dale Virgo presents "DubSoul" on 13thStreetPromotions.com

.@DaleVirgo Seeks To Make A Global Impact With “DubSoul”!

Posted on by swadedavillain

When it comes to music, the Island of Jamaica has been a pioneer, contributing to the ever growing soundscapes. From Ska, to Reggae, to Dub, to Dancehall, Jamaica’s music has lent a hand in establishing new genres, and creating fresh new talent in the process. With names like Bob Marley, Toots Hibbert, Lee “Scratch” Perry, Sean Paul, and Vybz Kartel being some of the more recognizable names globally for their musical contributions, a huge impact has truly been made from such a small Island. Enter Producer Dale “Dizzle” Virgo who seeks to contribute to the growing impact with, “DubSoul”.

“DubSoul” is the newest sub-genre that promises to further change how you hear sounds. Created during the pandemic, Producer Dale Virgo delves into various sounds, and was inspired to create a new wave, something that will touch music lovers in a way that never had before. The sub-genre taps into Dub, Reggae, Dancehall, Soul, and other sounds from many other genres, and Dale Virgo believes that “DubSoul” will have staying power, and new talent from around the world will emerge to push it to unprecedented levels. “Armed with capabilities for physiological arousals, emotional mood setting, and a deep cognitive range, he is ready to take over mainstream with his dynamic rhythm sounds which can leave you: calm, mellow, happy, lively, enthusiastic, and inspiring, while also revealing the complex, sad and depressing side of the same coin. What is his name? He goes by the name “DubSoul.” shares Virgo about the new sub-genre. Early examples of DubSoul can be found on Gyptian’s 2010 single, “Mama Bawl”, and on Virgo and Jamaican Recording Artist SeanResy’s collaborative EP, “Rocky Road”, which was released in July 2021.
