Today’s new video comes from Lincoln 3Dot. Titled “Dying To Live” and directed by Dante HillmedoLincoln is given the black and white treatment and we hear him speak about his lyrics, working hard and living his life,seeing people go certain routes to gain fame, providing for his son and leaving a legacy for him to carry on, and the meaning of “3Dot“. We also see clips of people in riots and facing oppression. Great song here and the video is very clean as we see Lincoln is shown addressing his fans and detractors.

NEW MUSIC: @KabakaPyramid x @RealIWayne – Versatile


KPIWDropping some conscious music today is the combination of Kabaka Pyramid and I-Wayne. Titled “Versatile” and produced by Rokwon Productions on the Rokwon Drop Riddim, we hear the artists speak on the evil that many do, promoting righteousness, fighting the corrupt, going against artists who promote the wrong things, Tessanne Chin and her getting recognition, and advising the youths to be versatile as to avoid falling into the traps of Babylon and Rome. A great effort here as I’ve been anticipating a collaboration between the two. It could a long shot but I’d love to hear a EP from the two or at least more tracks from them this year. Check out the track below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Pan Head – GunMan Tune (1991)


[In respect to the 17th anniversary of Biggie Smalls’ passing, my Oldies Sunday selection features a song he sampled on his first album.]

Today’s Oldies Sunday selection comes from Deejay Pan Head. Titled “Gunman Tune” with production by Lloyd “John John” James Jr. on the “Soap Riddim” and distribution by Father & Son Records in 1991, we hear Pan Head paying tribute to all the gun men in Jamaica while showing disrespect to informants (or snitches). He also speaks on the different communities that the gunmen reside in, the types of weaponry they have in their artillery, how they use them and the type of friends gunmen and informants should have.

EtantJoToday’s new video comes from the combination of Etana and Jo Mersa Marley. Titled “Thy Will Be Done” we hear Etana and Jo Mersa dropping message music and speaking on the issues affecting Jamaica and its people. In the video Etana’s part is shot in different communities highlighting the youth and the adults that reside there and also scenes of her performing at an event while we see Jo Mersa delivering his part in the studio. A great combination here as the “Strong One” and the 2nd generation Marley deliver conscious music that will reach the ears of many. Great shots of the various communities and the people that reside there. Check out the video below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

KI6G5J8uDropping some hotness and energy today is the D-I-V-A Tifa! Titled “Body Up” and produced by Di Genius, we hear Tifa deejaying about how sexy she is, how she drives the men crazy, and other girls should just fall back and appreciate since they can’t be her. I love the energy off this one and Di Genius’ production compliments it well. Her body is “Up deh” and the volume for this track shall be “Up deh” as well. I hope I get the chance to interview her soon. Check out the track below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
