Kumar Fyah Kicks Off 420 With “5000 Acres”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today is 420, also known as the day for Ganja, Marijuana, Herb, or whatever name you have for Mary. While many are enjoying the herb, others are tuning in to the classic Ganja songs, or releasing new ones. Recording Artist Kumar Fyah offers a new tune for you all to hear, and it’s called, “5000 Acres“.

Produced by Stay Nice Music, Kumar Fyah shares empowerment through music with the new single, “5000 Acres”. He recalls an incident when he was detained by Law Enforcement for a small possession of Marijuana, and the experience of it all. To Kumar, the situation was minor as he owns a large portion of the good green as it assists him outside of the usual consumption, and was willing to share some of his harvest if needs be. The experience sheds a light on what’s going on in Jamaica, as many are still incriminated for the possession of Marijuana, and not enough is done in using the plant as a means of economic growth, and community building. While many are elevating to different levels on 420, discussions are still being had about Marijuana being more beneficial for local Farmers, and building a proper Industry for it in the Island. Free up the herbs!

OLDIES SUNDAY: Ernie Smith – One Dream (1971)

Posted on by swadedavillain

On April 16, the world lost another legend. That day, the Iconic Ernie Smith transitioned to a bigger stage. One of Jamaica’s most powerful and recognizable voices, he blessed the world with great music, and people of all ages loved him. Today, we salute the legend on “Oldies Sunday“. We go back in time to check out, “One Dream“.

Produced by Richard Khouri with arrangement by Ken Lazarus for Merritone Production and released through FRM in 1971, Ernie Smith shares his definition of the ideal couple in, “One Dream”. The song finds him wishing for that one Woman whose good qualities come from combining qualities from every Woman in the world, while wishing to possess all the good qualities of every Man in the world so that their union is a perfect one. Talk about having THE dream partner. The upbeat Reggae production paired with Smith’s signature deep baritone vocals and solid songwriting instantly made “One Dream” a hit. The song went to #1 in Jamaica, and found a fanbase soon outside of the Caribbean. The song would be later featured on Smith’s “Greatest Hits” album in 1972, and would be covered by Tommy McCook, and Count Prince Miller.

Since the release of “One Dream”, Ernie Smith continued to have a very successful career which started in the 1960s, releasing even more music over the years. His voice was instantly recognizable, and was a part of many campaigns in Jamaica for Tourism, Health, a number of businesses, and even Theatre. He even voiced his displeasure of the Jamaican Government through song, which caused controversy. Smith passed away on April 16 during a Hospital admission, but his legacy lives on. “One Dream” remains one of his biggest hits.

THANK YOU ERNIE SMITH FOR THIS CLASSIC! SLEEP WELL.

Despite The Challenges, @PopcaanMusic Says “Life Still A Gwaan”

“Life is just for living” was said by the late Ernie Smith, and it still holds true today. No matter what’s going on every day, life continues to happen, and we live however we can. Dancehall Artist Popcaan understands this, and despite challenges during the triumphs, “Life Still A Gwaan“.

With a video directed by Shane Creative, Popcaan connects with the people, and shares the reality in, “Life Still A Gwaan”. Shot in St. Thomas, Popcaan shares what’s important to him, ensures he makes every day count, and will always make it a priority to prove the doubters wrong. The Damage Musiq-produced track also found him sending a shout out to the newly-freed Chronic Law, and encourages listeners to fight for what is right. Popcaan recently released “Lavish And Madish“, and has more singles to hit the streets, so fans can stay tuned. Born to prove them wrong.

Witty Continues The Rock Dancehall Agenda With “Friday Night”

Posted on by swadedavillain

The Rock Dancehall agenda continues to grow legs, and Witty is adding to it today. Having gone viral with his own Rock-tinged Dancehall releases, we believe he should keep it up in this lane, and add to the diversity of Jamaican music. He continues to rock on with, “Friday Night“.

In a video directed by Bussweh Visuals (Xhan Shot It with the graphics), Witty brings the energy in, “Friday Night”. Borrowing Pop Star Katy Perry’s “Last Friday Night“, the Deejay drops lyrics about having wild times with the ladies, partying it up, and of course all the ingredients that make up the fast life. The video features appearances by Social Media Personality Big Trap, Recording Artist Alanys OG, Jamaican Rock Musician Brother Martell, and Prince Pine (if you know the original Prince Pine & Fatskull videos, you know this appearance is a great one). For those who jeered when Witty was trying to find his footing, make sure you give him that support now, because he’s on his way to a major breakout, and with co-signs from some of the best in the business, it’s no longer farfetched.

Chronic Law Announces “I.C.E.” EP, Drops “Like Samson”

Posted on by swadedavillain

73 days in I.C.E. Detention is not for the weak, nor for any one really. Dancehall Artist Chronic Law underwent that ordeal this year, and he has been back on the grind since his return to the streets. Earlier, he announced that will be releasing a new EP called, “I.C.E.“, a collaborative project with Producer Notnice that shares his time behind bars. Before that EP hits the streams, he shares the first single, “Like Samson“.

Directed by Linkz Notnice, Chronic Law is taken back to his time behind bars, and shares his sources of strength during his ordeal in, “Like Samson”. The video not only gives us an idea of his daily life, his challenges, and him finally being free. We even see clips of the Deejay recording with Notnice, and reconnecting with his people. “I.C.E.” a.k.a. “Inside Cold & Empty” will have the world listening, and come April 24, it will be in your possession. Good to see the “Law Boss” home, and may the other Entertainers in I.C.E. Detention and otherwise get their days as well.

The album finds him at his most creative, presenting a project that further cements his status as one of Jamaica’s greats. His lyricism continues to expand, and he shares not only his skillset, but knowledge for those who can pick them out. His sound continues to grow with this album, and his travels definitely brought inspiration. Production on “TAOA” includes the likes of Winta James, Ziah, Manu Digital, and Universvl, for his 7th body of work, he calls up Masicka, Shenseea, Jesse Royal, Stephen Marley, Pressure BussPipe, and Damian “Junior Gong” Marley, a collaboration that many hoped for since album one.
