Augustus Pablo’s “King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown” Featured In “How To Make A Killing” Film

Posted on by swadedavillain

How has it been movie lovers? What’s the new screening that you’re obsessed with? Recently, Movie Studio A24 released their latest Film, “How To Make A Killing“. Directed by John Patton Ford, the Film stars Glen Powell as a Man who was disowned by his wealthy family at birth, and plots ways to get what is deserved to him, even if it means taking out some family members in the process. The Film features a mix of new and old music of various genres, but a familiar sound from Jamaica could be heard in a scene.

During a scene in the Film, “How To Make A Killing”, the familiar sound of a Melodica played by Musician/Producer Augustus Pablo could be heard along with some Reggae/Dub production. What was heard was Augustus Pablo’s “King Tubby Meets Uptown Rockers” from 1974. The Dub version of Jacob Miller’s “Baby I Love You So” which was produced by Pablo, was a collaboration between Pablo and King Tubby who was the Mixing Engineer. The track was released a number of times including through the Mango Label, as a B-Side to Jacob Miller’s single, and later through Island Records. It was also featured on the 1976 album of the same name. The track was previously featured in Grand Theft Auto 4, and is Rolling Stone Magazine’s “Top 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time“.

“How To Make A Killing” is out now.

.@RasI_Musique Finds “Home” In @Khalia100-Featured Single

Posted on by swadedavillain

The world is tense right now, and there’s so much going on. Many of us are seeking comfort, seeking a place of calm, a place of love. Some say music will provide the direction for those things, and they may be onto something. Here’s Recording Artist Ras-I with his new single, “Home“.

Produced by Keneil Drumz for Koastal Kings and featuring Khalia, Ras-I looks on love as an emotional shelter in, “Home”. Flings and sneaky linkings are cool and all, but what about that love where you feel your best in? What about being with someone you can be yourself with? In a time where relationships end as soon as they start, we’re looking for our bubble, and when we find that peace, it will be a life-changing experience. Ras-I and Khalia join in voices beautifully for this one, and it will be featured on the upcoming album, “Heart Of Love“. The season has changed, but real love shouldn’t. May you find your “home” today.

Ahead Of New Album, @Protoje & @ShenYeng Link Up For, “Goddess”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Protoje has been busy this year. From releasing music, to a sold-out Festival, to building anticipation for his new album, sleep must be missing him a lot. At the end of the day, the work continues. Ensuring the fans stay ready, he unveiled his new single, “Goddess“.

Produced by Winta James and featuring Shenseea, Protoje says it with his chest that he adores the Women in, “Goddess”. Protoje shares his interest in a Queen, while Shenseea knows who she is, but she’s heard it all before. Overall, this is a song that will definitely be a favourite in a collector’s Playlist. The Artists share some chemistry outside of the booth with a SAMO/Filmaica-directed music video, and we get a visual that could turn into a Film ready for the Theatre and Netflix slot. Protoje is getting things in order ahead of his new album, “The Art Of Acceptance“, while Shenseea adds another high profile collaboration to her 2026 list. This one is for the Queens, Empresses, and Goddesses.
