The World is going crazy, and everyday is something new. From crime, to poverty, to pandemics, we need an outlet to escape to. Luckily, music provides that, and today, we get some from GRAMMY winning Recording Artist Medisun looks to bring us peace with his new single, “Speak Love“.

Released through Zion I Kings Productions, Medisun sought the talents of Teflon Zincfence (Drums), Jah D (Bass), Moon Bain (Guitar), and the late Drew Keys (Keys) to give us musical healing, and vibes that are truly unmatched. With lyrics that prompt meditation and reconnecting with oneself, Medisun has done his part in making our days a little better with his music. Accompanying the single is a music video that was directed by Samo Kush, and it finds Medisun performing the track and giving us plenty visual art to enjoy. When you need to get away from the madness of the world, you need music from the likes of Medisun to enjoy, and zone out to. It’s time to heal, and speak love!

Yabby You a.k.a. Vivian Jackson - Deliver Me From My Enemies (1977) on 13thStreetPromotions.com

OLDIES SUNDAY: Yabby You – Deliver Me From My Enemies (1977)

Posted on by swadedavillain

In today’s world, many are unsure of who really has their backs. Regardless, we have to trust in a higher power. Today’s Oldies Sunday selection comes from the great Yabby You with the track, “Deliver Me From My Enemies“.

With Yabby You handling the production and released through Grove Music in 1977, “Deliver Me From My Enemies” is Yabby’s way of asking God for protection from those who wish to endanger him. He utilizes Psalm 143:8-10 throughout the song through a chant like delivery, and the sounds that accompany makes it for a very spiritual listen. The track was featured on his album of the same name in 1977. Born Vivian Jackson, he had a rough upbringing due to poverty, and after experiencing severe Arthritis at age 17, he became partially crippled. He found himself hustling in the streets for quite some time before finding success with the single, “Conquering Lion”. From there, he became known in various circles, and recorded and produced for many upcoming and established Artists. He passed away in 2010 from a Brain Aneurysm.

THANK YOU YABBY YOU!

Tappa Zukie's M.P.L.A. album that features the single, "Freedom" on 13thStreetPromotions.com

OLDIES SUNDAY: Tappa Zukie – Freedom (1976)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Break the chains and kick down the gates, it’s Emancipation Sunday on Oldies Sunday! Parts of the Caribbean recognize August 1 (and August 2 on weekdays if the 1st is on a weekend) as Emancipation Day. It’s a day that commemorates the abolition of slavery, but we’re still fighting against many other forms of depression around the world. Today’s Oldies Sunday selection comes from the great Tappa Zukie with his track, “Freedom“.

Produced by Tappa Zukie and released through the KLIK Label in 1976. “Freedom” finds Tappa Zukie calling for the liberation of black people who have been held captive for centuries. He flexes a mix of singing and toasting inna dub style on the track, and he can be heard saying “freedom a wha di natty dread want…” throughout. The song came around the time when black consciousness was at an all time high, and it makes its mark an important song of the times, with messages that are still relevant today. “Freedom” was included on Zukie’s 1976 album, “MPLA“. As we recognize an important day, may we still fight to break the new chains of oppression.

Thank You Tappa Zukie!
