Bella Blair Returns With “Tired Of You” Single

Posted on by swadedavillain

There’s a time to be a creative, and there’s a time to deal with life. For a number of years, Bella Blair entertained the world with her comedy skits, and her music. She dominated her lane on Social Media, and aimed to stand out with her music as she blended genres, while still being true to her roots. Over the past few years, she slowed down a bit to focus on family. Her creativity however, never stopped, and she would share bits of it to the outside world. Recently, she announced that the creativity bug is eager to be outside again, and earlier she released her latest single, “Tired Of You“.

Produced by Kevon “Webbo” Webster, Bella Blair gets back into her Pop/R&B Music vibe with the release of, “Tired Of You”. When it comes to a situation that doesn’t mean you well, the aim is to get out. Bella shares her frustration and deception that she experienced, and she made every move to break out of it. She doesn’t sound sad here, but rather she’s relieved, and will maintain her distance, making herself happier in the long run. Bella never followed the norm when it came to her music, and we can expect this one to not only make its way onto radio rotation, but make appearances Internationally. Mama took a break, but she’s back outside.

Posted on by swadedavillain

On June 28, renowned Tobagonian Recording Artist Oscar B passed away. The legendary Artist has been one of the biggest voices in Soca, and has been a part of many classics, especially with Byron Lee and The Dragonaires as the lead Singer. Today on “Oldies Sunday“, we salute the legend, and his work will live on. For today’s entry, we go back in time to check out, “Soca Tatie“.

Produced by Byron Lee and featuring Dancehall legend Admiral Bailey and released through Dynamic Sounds in 1995, Oscar B along with Byron Lee and The Dragonaires delivered a track that really the people dancing the “Soca Tatie”. The “Tatie” dance was introduced in the Dancehall scene previously, but the Soca touch gave it a bigger presence. The vibes paired with some upbeat production and vocal contributions from Oscar B and Admiral Bailey became a hit instantly, becoming a part of a large catalogue of hits. “Soca Tatie” was featured on the band’s 1995 album of the same name.

Since the release of “Soca Tatie”, Oscar B continued working with Byron Lee and The Dragonaires until Lee’s passing in 2008, and after when the band was renamed “The Dragonaires”. Oscar B passed away in June 2026 from complications following suffering a stroke. His legacy lives on, and many still play “Soca Tatie” in remembrance.

Malaïka Teams Up With Kickraux For “Déjà Vu”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Music is always the right answer, no matter the question, and it’s a mood enhancer. When there are Architects of the sound like Kickraux, expect nothing but good vibes. While he has lent his sound to various genres, when he taps into Reggae, it’s a surreal vibe. He’s always tapping in to various cultures and Artists, and recently he connected with a songbird named Malaïka for her new single, “Déjà Vu“.

When it comes to love, things may go well, and not so well, and in “Déjà Vu”, Malaïka can see ahead where the direction of the relationship will go. She has had her experiences, and while new beginnings can be beautiful, familiar feelings and recurring actions can be triggering, or lead to the possibility of something better. Malaïka dabbles in some Reggae sounds here, and adds to Kickraux’s growing catalogue as he has been working with a number of Artists in Latin America. With a Mexican and Haitian background, you can stay tuned to this songbird as she continues to elevate her sound, and expand to new markets. The single is accompanied by a music video directed by Ryvesh, and we see what looks like the start of a great relationship from a chance meeting, but it didn’t play out that way in the end. Something new, something different for the people to tune in to. Stay tuned for even more work from Kickraux!

One An’ Ready! Top Banks & XKappe Release “Taxi Man”

Posted on by swadedavillain

When it comes to traveling in Jamaica, you can take public transportation, or get something private. Most residents go for public transportation in the form of taxis and buses for various reasons, and the atmosphere there is enough for many comedy and drama productions. From hilarious interactions, to hearing colourful language, the life of a public transport operator is one filled with hustle and determination. If you haven’t been driven by a Jamaican Taxi Man, Dancehall Artists Top Banks and XKappe give you an idea in, “Taxi Man“.

Released through Steel Chest Records/Bigz Milli Records/White Life Records, Top Banks and XKappe take over Jidenna’s “Classic Man” Instrumental to share the day to day runnings of a “Taxi Man”. The everyday hustle to get passengers is no easy feat, but when done right, it is rewarding to earn that honest bread. This isn’t without any funny moments and drama, and the Deejays deliver a track that takes our minds off of the daily stress. Banks and XKappe always make for a great collaboration, and “Taxi Man” is bound to be another favourite. The Mandeville-based Artists continue to expand their bases, with Banks looking to take his talents to Canada this month for a number of events. XKappe is still doing numbers with his releases, and his live performances continue to find fans reciting every line. Make space in the vehicle for this one, wi ready fi di road!
