OLDIES SUNDAY: Josey Wales – Leggo Mi Hand Gateman (1983)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today’s Oldies Sunday selection highlights one of Dancehall’s greatest foundation artists, “The Outlaw” Josey Wales (Happy belated Birthday)! When you talk about “run Dancehall“, he was one of the artists who made it possible. We go back to the 80s to check out, “Leggo Mi Hand Gateman“.

Produced by Henry “Junjo” Lawes on the popular “Golden Hen Riddim” and released through the Volcano label in 1983, Josey Wales gives an account of entering a street dance in Clarendon one night. Acknowledging that he was taking a young lady out for some fun, he was dealing with some opposition before entering the dance, and gives details on what happened. “Leggo Mi Hand Gateman” became one of Josey Wales’ biggest hits, and is still a crowd pleaser to this day. The single was featured on Josey’s 1983 album, “The Outlaw“. Since his hit, Josey Wales went on to influence generations of Dancehall artists, deliver more hits, and was even awarded the Order of Distinction by the Government of Jamaica in October 2017. Real legend.

Recording Artist Rhiya Luna likes to have fun, whether it’s being at the club, or just chilling with friends. Sometimes she takes it easy, other times she has way too much fun, and she feels the effects of it in the morning. Today, she shares something about the latter situation in, “Can’t Recall“.

Produced by longtime collaborator Nuh Response Production on the “Breathe Riddim“, Rhiya finds herself feeling the after effects of having way too much to drink at a party the night before, not being able to recall everything that happened throughout, and having difficulty facing the day ahead. It gets like that when you’re having a lot of fun with friends, but we also urge you all to drink responsibly. A song that will have many looking back at their own similar situations and build a vibe with, Rhiya Luna may have found another hit with this one.

Lutan Fyah Steps Out With New Single For @LKReggae’s Upcoming EP!

Posted on by swadedavillain

US/Jamaica based Production company Lustre Kings Productions is getting ready to touch the world with some great music. With all that’s going on in the world, they look to provide some healing, entertainment, and consciousness with the release of their upcoming EP, “Star Chile“. With a blend of Reggae, Afrobeats, and Dancehall paired with some of the best voices in the business, the EP promises to be a favourite for many. Kicking off the EP’s rollout is the legendary Lutan Fyah with the track, “No Selfie“.

On the track, Lutan Fyah announces that he is only here for real people, no time for facades and false lifestyles. “Social media tends to have us believing in what we see online and on people’s profiles. That is not necessarily real life. I want to encourage people to know themselves and keep it real. It is a metaphor for being honest and true to yourself.” shared Lutan Fyah. Africa, Mr. Eazi a.k.a. “Star Boy“, and the “Voodoo Chile” Jimi Hendrix were all the inspirations behind the genesis of the “Star Chile Riddim“, the backbone of the “Star Chile EP” according to Andrew Moon Bain, one of the founding members of Lustre Kings Productions. Those elements pushed Andrew to do a deep dive, and emerge with the “Star Chile Riddim” which enlists the exceptional talents of Lutan Fyah, Pressure Busspipe, and Alandon. Consisting of 5 tracks, the EP will hit the streets on October 30 on all digital music streaming platforms through Easy Star Records.

International Poppy is at it again! Fresh off the release of his highly anticipated “Fixtape“, Popcaan continues to cross seas and plant the Jamaican and Unruly flags in various territories. Finding himself in the pop scene this time around, he connects with Singer Jorja Smith on, “Come Over“.

Produced by Dre Skull, Pasque, MadisonLST, and Cadenza, we get a Dancehall flavoured/sampled track that finds Jorja wanting to “fix tings” with her love interest, while Poppy smoothly steps in the fire off some slick lyrics. Accompanying the single, is a Future Power Station animated visual which was directed by Amber Grace Johnson. A not too fast, not too slow release here, definitely something to slow wine with that special person with. With the pandemic causing a lot of distance between many, may the Zoom and Facetime calls find this song a worthy part of the soundtrack.
