The blessings continue to flow for Koffee. When “Toast” was released in 2018, no one could predict how quickly her career would take off. A major label signing, an EP release, millions of streams, major placements and bookings, and a Grammy later, Koffee is still reigning supreme. Recently, LIFEWTR (a subsidiary of Beverage giant Pepsico), released a new commercial promoting creativity, and how their product fuels it. Blasting throughout the Commercial, is Koffee’s “Toast” can be heard for its soundtrack!

Produced by Izy Beats and Walshy Fire, the song features Koffee giving thanks for her many blessings, and leaving listeners with the catchphrase, “Gratitude Is A Must“. Since the recording’s release, it has been featured in the soundtrack for Jordan Peele’s “US” (details on that here), being a repeat listen for many of your faves (including Barack and Michelle Obama, and Jay Z), and its music video crossing the 100 Million plays mark. Big up Koffee, and get you some LIFEWTR!

We Pay Tribute To The Late @_KennyRogers In Reggae Style

Posted on by swadedavillain

While the world is on standby with this Coronavirus Pandemic, the music scene woke up to news of the passing of Country Music Icon, Kenny Rogers. With a career spanning decades, the legend passed away on March 20 at the age of 81. One Country that mourns his passing is Jamaica as his music touched many people of all ages through the years. Like Canadian Singer Celine Dion, Kenny Rogers became an honorary Jamaican, and was emulated by many Artists including the late Moses Samuels a.k.a. “Reggae Rogers“, a popular Recording Artist/MC from Clarendon. Kenny Rogers even set up shop here with his “Kenny Rogers Roasters” franchises. Today, we pay tribute to this great man with a collection of Reggae covers by some of your favourite Artists.

Jamaica Jah 9 Note To Self Reggae Music Poetry 13thStreetPromo 13thStreetPromotions Caribbean Short Film Documentary

.@Jah9 Gives Us Strong Words & Beautiful Music In “Note To Self” Short Film

Posted on by swadedavillain

When Jah 9 speaks, many will listen. With a career that has been well-regarded and respected, she continues to elevate to higher heights. With album #3, “Note To Self” seeing a release date, she gets in her creative bag to give us the “Note To Self” Short Film.

Directed by Fernando F. Hevia and Samo Kush, Jah 9 dives into the theme of self-awareness through her combination of Music and Art into a beautiful experience that runs for 13 minutes. She shares that, “Getting to know one’s self can seem like an obscure pursuit, but the study is indeed rewarding. Get intimate with your boundaries and the ways in which your essence is contained. In many ways, surviving can be like a war against a vast unknown world, it will prove invaluable having an intimate understanding of yourself and the materials, talents, flaws and gifts you are given. A proper inventory is key. The Note To Self documentary gives context to the album which I do my best to share myself in this state of consistent inventory management,” Jah9 states. “These themes and transitions are visited on the songs throughout the album, and then revisited in narrative form through this documentary. Together they present a summary of my latest effort, a self thesis.”

While we all take in this wonderful showcase, Jah 9’s “Note To Self” album touches the Globe and your ears on March 13. Check out the video below, and share with a friend. Show us some love/follow us on Twitter and Instagram at @13thStreetPromo.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Delroy Wilson – Have Some Mercy (1973)

Posted on by swadedavillain

With Valentine’s Day will find couples doing the most come February 14, today’s Oldies Sunday selection looks at the other side of love. We check out the late Delroy Wilson’s 1973 hit, “Have Some Mercy“. Produced by Ainsley Folder, this was released through the Dee Jay Music Label, followed by releases through the Cactus and Sydna Labels the following year. The track finds Delroy pleading for his lady to come back home as they’ve recently broken up. Throughout the song, he shares how things have been upside down for him since she left, and asks for another chance for them to make it right. The song became a hit for Delroy Wilson, and it remains one of his signature classics.

While many will feel the love this week, there are those who wish to have those feelings back. We hope and pray that many broken relationships are fixed this week. If they aren’t fixed this week, may they get that well deserved chance soon. Have some mercy, and make it happen! Hang in there peeps.
