OLDIES SUNDAY: Aston “Family Man” Barrett – Soul Constitution (1971)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Before we start off today’s Oldies Sunday, we want to send our condolences to the families of the late Alan Magnus, and the late Aston “Family Man” Barrett who made their transitions over the weekend. May their legacies live on.

On Oldies Sunday, we’ve highlighted many who have made the music we love. From Vocalists to Musicians, they have provided sounds and vibes beyond our imaginations, scoring hits, and faves in the process. Today, we highlight a Musician who was the backbone of a few important Bands in Jamaican Music. His name is Aston Barrett, many know him as “Family Man” Barrett, and we highlight his track, “Soul Constitution“.

Arranged by Aston Barrett and featuring Musician Glen Adams, “Soul Constitution” was released through the Star Apple label in 1971. The Instrumental track features Aston’s signature basslines, backing by additional Instruments, and a soulful vibe throughout that could easily be the theme music for a TV show. “Soul Constitution” was one of Barrett’s many productions, and was re-issued in 2016, and included in his 2016 album of the same name. It was also sampled on the 2007 track “Engine Running” by Hip Hop Artists Talib Kweli and Consequence, and Producer Madlib.

Aston “Family Man” Barrett was a member of Bob Marley & The Wailers, The Hippy Boys with Lloyd Charmers, the Barrett Brothers with his Brother Carlton, and The Upsetters with the late Lee “Scratch” Perry. He was a Producer who co-produced, engineered, and played on albums by Bob Marley & The Wailers, Judy Mowatt, Burning Spear, Keith Hudson, Augustus Pablo, Max Romeo, and many others including his own albums. He has been celebrated by many, and was recognized by legendary Musicians/Artists/Publications, and was awarded the Order of Distinction in 2021 during Jamaica’s National Honours and Awards. He was also highlighted in the upcoming “Bob Marley: One Love” Film played by his son, Aston Barrett Jr. Aston “Family Man” Barrett passed away on February 3, 2024, but left behind a legacy that will span generations, and like his nickname, a large family both biological and social.

Thank you Aston Barrett For Your Works. Sleep Well.

.@GovanaGenna Brings Back “Deablo” for “Gvn Toe”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recently, Dancehall Producer Notnice had the Dancehall scene feeling nostalgic with the revamped version of his classic “Street Vybz Riddim“. Named “Street Vybz 2.0“, Deejays Chronic Law and Aidonia quickly secured hits with “Weekend” and “Bottles” respectively, and it was rumoured that many more Artists would make their contributions on the Riddim. Another one who stepped up to bat was Govana as he shared a preview. Today, it gets official with the release of “Gvn Toe“.

With a video directed by Rizzy for Now Or Never, Govana brings out his badman side on “Gvn Toe”. Going back to his former stage name “Deablo“, no one is safe when the Deejay steps out with his artillery. While others provided party songs on “Street Vybz 2.0”, Govana wanted shots to ring out with his release. The dark visual adds to the sinister lyrics, and will be a popular one for listeners. This one is for the “StrikeForce” crew, the “4th Genna” set, Deablo makes a temporary return to the scene, and he’s ready for whatever.

Teejay Unleashes “I Am Chippy” EP, “Dip” With Tommy Lee Sparta

Posted on by swadedavillain

2023 was the year for “Drift“, but 2024 is the year Teejay the global Artist makes significant moves. The Deejay has been busy these past few months. From scoring a International hit single, to signing a Record deal, to even confronting fellow Dancehall Artists in short-lived lyrical battles. With all that’s happening and happened, it’s still his time to shine. He steps out with the EP, “I Am Chippy“.

Featuring 10 tracks, Teejay delivers a package that is street-certified, club ready, and globally accepted. While many awaited an album from the Deejay, plans for that is currently shelved, and “I Am Chippy” will set the tone for his career moving forward. “Drift” and its remix with Davido are featured, and production includes the likes of DJ Mac, Panda, Slingerz Records, DJ Frass, and Extol Music. Teejay doesn’t take on the world by himself, and he brings along Skillibeng, Tommy Lee Sparta, Quada, Jaydon, Bayka, and Malie Donn.

Teejay follows up the EP release with the official Music Video for “Dip” featuring Tommy Lee Sparta. The Lagikz Supreme-directed visual brings out the Dancers, and is a great addition to the EP’s release, as it quickly became a hit since its release as a single a few weeks ago. Get ready to drift, dip, and hold a vibes with the Uptop Boss.

Reggae Artist/Activist T’Jean has been a dominant force for a number of years. Armed with powerful lyrics and a strong militant presence, he is a voice for the people, and not the one to be taken lightly. Having released a number of hard hitting tracks over the past few months, he’s ready to teach you A.I. Not the A.I. that has been the topic of many outlets, but the “Ancient Intelligence” with his new EP.

Featuring 7 tracks, “Ancient Intelligence” is some of T’Jean’s best work. The EP follows up the 2020 “Tief In The Night” album, and the Artist continues to stand up against injustice and corruption, promote the strong messages of Rastafari, and reinforce a consciousness that many have slipped away from. The EP features production from Izreal Records and Jdeacs Records, which have provided the right sounds to back up T’Jean’s powerful presentations. He’s here to shake up the place, and make things right. Educate yourself with “Ancient Intelligence”.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Somewhere in the world, there’s someone praying and having the belief that they will see success, and be in a position to live a life that’s better than what they’re currently in. For Entertainer/Recording Artist Deno Crazy, not only does he wants to elevate his life in a greater way, but he wants to bring along his people to experience the same.
