Reggae Music From Hawaii Featured In New “The Wrecking Crew” Film

Posted on by swadedavillain

Reggae Music is universal, and continues to be so after adding more GRAMMY awards and other accolades to its mantle. Over the weekend, the new Film, “The Wrecking Crew” premiered on Amazon Prime Video. The Film stars Jason Mamoa and Dave Bautista, who are half brothers investigating the death of their Father in Hawaii. The Film features Actors who are from the Island of Hawaii and of Hawaiian descent, and shares parts of Hawaiian culture. Reggae got a feature in the Film, and we speak on it below.

During a scene in the new Film, “The Wrecking Crew”, “Brains” by Hawaiian/Samoan Recording Artist/Educator/Farmer Ka’ikena Scanlan was featured. The Pacific/Hawaiian Reggae single was released in 2019, produced by Pano, features Hawaiian Band These Guys, and was released through Spoon Meat Entertainment. The track speaks on the corruption that happens in the world, the manipulation of the people by evil doers and warmongers, and is a call for people to wake up, preserve the culture, and fight against systems that don’t mean the world well. Reggae music has mostly been about revolutions and consciousness, and Ka’ikena’s track is no different. “The Wrecking Crew” is out now on Amazon Prime Video.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Ambelique – Penny Lover (1997)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Welcome to February. We kick off Reggae Month, celebrate the birthday of the late Dennis Brown, recognize Black History Month, and celebrate love. It’s “Oldies Sunday“, and before we start off, we salute the late Sly Dunbar known to many from the Production duo Sly & Robbie who passed away on January 26. Today’s selection is all about love and remembering the greats. We go back in time to check out “Penny Lover” by Ambelique.

Produced by Sly & Robbie and released through the Taxi label in 1997, it’s all about a deep desire for that special someone in Ambelique’s “Penny Lover”. The track is a Reggae cover of US Singer Lionel Richie’s 1984 hit single, and Ambelique does it justice with his unique vocals, pulling in the listener who is focused on love. Sly & Robbie’s top tier production adds well to the powerful track, and it became a hit for listeners. “Penny Lover” was featured on the 1997 album, “Sings The Classics“, and was included in a number of Sly & Robbie projects following including the GRAMMY Award-winning “Friends” album.

Since “Penny Lover”, Ambelique continued to release more music. He is still active, and in 2024 he released the album “Blind Spot“. Though “Penny Lover” is a cover, it’s still loved by many around the world.

Thank You Ambelique For This Classic!

OLDIES SUNDAY: Cat Coore & Kiddus I – Jah Sun You Rise (1997)

Posted on by swadedavillain

On January 18, the legendary Musician Stephen “Cat” Coore, co-founder of Third World, passed away. Fans, family, and peers mourn this loss, and tributes are pouring in from around the world. A brilliant Musician, Coore knew how to reel in listeners with his sound, and when he takes the stage, it’s all about his performances. On “Oldies Sunday“, we pay tribute to him with the selection, “Jah Sun You Rise“.

Released through MiDehYa in 1997 and featuring Kiddus I, it was appreciation for the Creator, and one of the greatest creations being the Sun in, “Jah Sun You Rise”. Paired with great Instrumentation, we hear of the greatness of the Sun in contributing to life, guiding one’s path, and its radiance in times of darkness. The song also calls for the Sun to lead people to the right path, put light into the hearts of people who need it, and help to make the world a better place. “Jah Sun You Rise” was featured on Cat Coore’s 1997 debut album, “Uptown Rebel“, and was well-received by fans of his Musicianship, and of Third World.

Since the release of “Jah Sun You Rise”, Cat Coore continued to release a few singles, but being onstage with his Third World brethren found him displaying even more of his skillset. His musical legacy will be carried on by his family, and his name lives on in the hearts of many.

Sleep Well Cat Coore, And Thank You For Your Music!

.@JahLilMusicJA & Tanzie Fight “Poverty” On New Single

Posted on by swadedavillain

In a world where attaining wealth and luxury are the focus, living in poverty is the reality that many of us face. The world nuh level as they say, and we’re working on making our lives better than it ever was. Recording Artist Jah Lil understands the frustration when it comes to living poor, and he doesn’t want us to accept that reality, but to overcome it. He speaks on his new single, “Poverty“.

Produced by Cloud Beats and featuring Singer Tanzie, “Poverty” finds Jah Lil wanting to change the narrative, and encourage more of us to escape that construct that aims to keep us locked in. Not every problem will be solved when one has wealth, but the goal is to live better, and do good in this world. Jah Lil and Tanzie join voices and make for a great collaboration, and may inspire moves that call for great actions towards a system that doesn’t love us. Jah Lil may be gearing up for a new project to be released later this year, but at the moment, he’s sowing the seeds that help to build more anticipation, and you might find him on a stage near you, so stay tuned. Ghetto yute haffi rich!
