Posted on by swadedavillain

Firstly, Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mothers out there. In this time of the year, many Mothers are honoured, loved, and remembered. Much love to the Mamas. For “Oldies Sunday“, we go back in time to share a tribute to the Mothers that had our backs. We check out Ranking Dread’s “My Mommy A The Nicest Mommy“.

Produced by Tad Dawkings Sr. and Jr., U. Brown, and Ranking Joe and released through Tad’s Records in 1982, Ranking Dread made a special dedication in “My Mommy A The Nicest Mommy”. The Deejay shared that despite her being a single Mother with no Father present, she ensured that he was raised with morals and values, and all the necessities to make a him a great Man in the world. From his childhood days to now an Adult, he dearly recalls moments with his Mother, and salutes her for doing the best could. If you can, make today special for Mom. Otherwise, make her days special as often as possible.

Don’t Get @CapletonMusic Angry, He’ll “Start It Up”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Capleton is a Man who doesn’t ask for much, just righteousness, equal justice for all, and blaze some fire on corruption. Nothing too crazy. His music continues to make dents in the culture, and get the people pumped up for the message he delivers. While he gets aggressive in his music, we advise not to get him riled up outside of that. Things won’t be pretty if that happens, and he’ll “Start It Up“.

Produced by Deki Records, Capleton is ready to handle any confrontation in, “Start It Up”. The “Fire Man” is locked and loaded, and if he’s not handling matters personally, his people will come through with force. Aside from the new single, Capleton is gearing up to release a new album in over a decade this month called, “Heights Of Fire“. The stage continues to call him, and you can expect him in more places this summer. Don’t get the “Fire Man” on his wrong side today.

Jamaicans Cover Classic @TheBeatles Music In Our New Playlist

Posted on by swadedavillain

On May 8 1970, the famed British group The Beatles released their final album, “Let It Be“. Beatlemania was a huge moment in music, and has influenced generations of Musicians and Artists. Consisting of Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison, The Beatles connected with many worldwide, including Jamaica. Competition was brewing on the Island as well, as there were Artists who believed they could take The Beatles’ place including The Zodiacs, who were once propelled to be a threat to the group in the media. Today, the music is still respected, and tributes from some of your favourite Artists have been performed and recorded. For our latest Playlist, we share the many times Jamaicans covered The Beatles.

In our new Playlist “Jamaica Sings The Beatles“, we feature the many Artists who recorded covers of some of The Beatles’ many classics. From Ernie Smith, to John Holt, to Pat Kelly, to Bob Marley, to Phyllis Dillon, to even Vybz Kartel, you’ll hear covers that you’ve either never heard before, or haven’t heard in a while. It has been 56 years since the group’s final album before splitting up, and their influence is still very strong. You’ll hear their music in different styles and vibes, from Reggae to Dancehall, from back in the day, to more recent times. Get your speakers ready for this one.

Vybz Kartel Joins @ChrisBrown On New “Brown” Album

Posted on by swadedavillain

Life has been good to Vybz Kartel. Since his release from prison close to 2 years ago, he gained more money, more assets, a greater appreciation for life away from the bars, and a lot more. As an Artist, he’s still in demand. Internationally, he has collaborated with DJ Khaled and Travis Scott, and recently was recruited by R&B star Chris Brown for his new album, “Brown (Break Rules Only When Necessary)“. Check them out on, “F*** And Party“.

Produced by T-Town, Chris Brown further shares his love for Jamaica by linking up with Vybz Kartel for “F*** And Party”. The track finds Brown expressing his desire to not be locked down, and gives the young Woman who is interested in him a warning that nothing will be normal when it involves him. Kartel also shares the same sentiment as he’s all about having a good time, no time for anything serious, so know what you’re getting into. Sidem Ozturk, Kartel’s leading lady, gets a shoutout on the track as well, and the “World Boss” scores another International collaboration, and will definitely do the numbers. Major Myjah, son of Bounty Killa and frequent collaborator of Chris Brown, also shares writing credits on the “Brown” album. From dancing with Elephant Man, to sampling Red Rat, to recruiting Jamaican Dancers for his team, to collaborating with Vybz Kartel. Looks like they’ll call him “Gaza Chris” now. Does this mean he’ll do another concert in Jamaica? Stay tuned. “Brown” is out now.

.@Runkusinno Extends His Catalogue With “SUPERNOVA” Album

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recording Artist Runkus has been brewing up something good for a while, and he’s ready for the world to indulge in it. Known for his unorthodox wordplay and a flow that always stands out, and his consistency in song creating has resulted in people moving their feet, and getting their knowledge up. He takes his music to a higher level with the new “SUPERNOVA” album.

Featuring 13 tracks, Runkus aligns with Bahamian Conceptual Artist, Tavares Strachan for the new “SUPERNOVA” album. A follow up to the well-received “IN:SIDE” and “OUT:SIDE” albums, Runkus returns with more thought-provoking content, and extends his catalogue that has been lauded by many. Stratchan’s involvement in the album comes in the form of its cover titled, “A Map of the Crown (Fulani Red)“, which was inspired by Eve, the first Woman of creation.

Production on “SUPERNOVA” features production from the likes of Prodj, RiddimBoss, Chopstix, KaleX, A Guy Called Purple, and Runkus himself, while Sean Paul, and vocals from the late Peter Tosh grace a couple tracks. The Lyricist returns to his arena with something powerful.
