Young GT Links Up With Sizzla On “Badness Don’t Pay”

Posted on January 15, 2024January 22, 2024 by swadedavillain

There are many ways you can start off a new day, week, month, and year, but it is always good to start on a positive note. A key thing to know is that good will always prevail over evil. Manchester/US-based Recording Artist Young GT has a message that he wants to share, and that is, “Badness Don’t Pay“.

With a video directed by Romaine Visuals, “Badness Don’t Pay” is Young GT’s latest single with Reggae/Dancehall Icon Sizzla Kalonji. Together they emphasize the message that it’s “Good over evil“, and watch out for those that try to take you off the good path. The video was shot at Judgment Yard in August Town and Broadleaf, Manchester, and it shows what happens to those who study evil, and how the tables can turn on them. Jamaica’s crime rate continues to rise, and without positive outlets to help the people, it can get worse. Lots of corruption out here, but it takes some good people to make the right moves. Young GT has been on the scene for quite a while, and with this Sizzla collaboration, expect to hear more of him.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Prince Oret – Ghetto Youth (1989)

Posted on January 14, 2024January 21, 2024 by swadedavillain

In life, there are many ups and downs. Some succumb to the downs, while others find ways to overcome them to live positive lives. Today’s Oldies Sunday selection highlights an Artist who like many, overcame negative circumstances, and lived a positive life from thereon. His name is Prince Oret, and we look back at his single, “Ghetto Youth“.

Produced by Little John on the “Give Me The Right Riddim” for the Romantic Label in 1989, Prince Oret reflects on his challenges, and sharing his message of overcoming them in “Ghetto Youth”. A victim of homelessness in his younger years, Oret turned his circumstance into song at the age of 14, with lyrics sharing his hardships, encouraging listeners to not be discouraged, and make efforts to have a positive impact on their lives moving forward. “Ghetto Youth” gave Prince Oret some recognition when released, and while it didn’t make him a huge Artist at the time, the song received some love over the years and made him a name to know locally and overseas.

Since the release of “Ghetto Youth”, Prince Oret released more singles over the years, and made positive strides in his life. He found success as a Producer, owning his own Record Label Godfather Records, dabbled in Real Estate overseas, and made sure never to experience any of the hardships he faced in his younger years again. “Ghetto Youth” is a song of turning a negative into a positive, and is still played around the world.

Thank You Prince Oret For This Song!

450 Asks The Important Questions In “What If?”

Posted on January 13, 2024January 20, 2024 by swadedavillain

A popular song from the 2000s had the lyrics, “Would you love me if I was down and out? Would you still have love for me?“. In a time where many relationships have become transactional, some people are still searching for someone who will be there through the good times, and the storms, with and without dollars to their name. Dancehall Artist 450, though he has the status as one of the hottest acts out that gets a lot of love, would he be as loved if he wasn’t? He asks “What If?” in his new single.

Produced by Week.Day, 450 asks the important questions in “What If?”. He recognizes his current position, but wonders if his lady would still be into him if he had different careers. If she can see him in the roles of a Garbage Collector, a Vendor in the Market, or even a struggling Recording Artist, would the love be as genuine? Would she be quick to answer his calls if he was broke? There are many who are in similar positions, and have been denied love, but there are also some who experience the opposite. It’s all about respect. The accompanying music video directed by DaManiac Visualz highlights 450 in a few of those positions, further emphasizing his lyrics. The love game can be a cruel and fleeting one, but respect goes out to those who believe in genuine love, with and without things and status.
