.@JalenNgonda Brings Classic Reggae Vibes With “All About Me”

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s a new week, and with it comes new music. We know the influence of Jamaica around the world. No matter how they try to downplay it, wi large! Today’s post highlights a Singer who was influenced by Jamaica’s music culture for his latest single. Check out Maryland-born/Liverpool-based Recording Artist Jalen Ngonda’s “All About Me“.

Produced by Victor Axelrod and released through Daptone Records, Jalen Ngonda taps into some old school Reggae vibes for the new single, “All About Me”. Jalen plays the role of an arrogant lover here as he tells his love interest that his love is a rare one, and she’ll never find another like his. On the other hand, she means something important to him, and he believes the relationship will endure. The song might have been inspired by the 1978 single “Go Away Dream” by Derrick Harriott (which was a cover of the 1973 single by The Chi-Lites), but overall, one would truly believe this was recorded by one of our soulful acts from back in the day. There is even a Dub version of the track that you can check out below. Jalen Ngonda has found himself a viral hit, and we look forward to what he’ll step out with next.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Chicken Hawk – Education (1989)

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s back to school time, and from grade 1 to College level, we wish you all the best on the new term, and new year. Today on “Oldies Sunday“, we want to drive the message of getting your education even further with our throwback selection. We go back in time to check out Chicken Hawk’s “Education“.

Produced by Steely & Clevie on the “Fast Car Riddim” and released through Steely & Clevie Records in 1989, Chicken Hawk gave listeners a lesson with his “Education” single. It was really a lesson as he had a word for every letter, putting together a song that rode the riddim well, and displayed how lyrical a Deejay can be. When it comes to education, many Deejays encouraged us to read, write, and learn the golden rule, making us scholars in the classroom, and in Dancehall School. “Education” was a hit for Chicken Hawk, with many children knowing it word for word back in the day. The track was featured on Steely & Clevie’s “Fast Car Riddim” compilation, which was released in 1989.

Since the release of “Education”, Chicken Hawk went on to release more music over the years. In recent years, he has made appearances on Social Media where he would perform some of his song on livestreams and staged events. Many still remember his “Education” single, and reminisce on their school days.

Thank You Chicken Hawk For This Hit!
