.@MrVegasMusic Toasts To The Legends With “Ghetto Reggae” Album

Posted on September 2, 2025September 9, 2025 by swadedavillain

Mr. Vegas is a Jamaican music legend. You may have your opinions about him, but for nearly 30 years, he has delivered hit singles, commanded stages, and kept his name prominent in the music and media scene. He is still in demand, and is still recording. He has also been showing love those who paved the way for him. With his new album, “Ghetto Reggae“, you’ll hear where his mind is at.

Featuring 14 songs, Mr. Vegas presents an ode to “Rub-A-Dub” Reggae with the album, “Ghetto Reggae”. He has leaned into this direction a number of times over the years, and with the new album he hopes to make it a trend that more Artists follow. Production on “Ghetto Reggae” salutes the sounds of yesteryear, and joining Mr. Vegas on the production boards are Mark A. Brown, Wolfpack Muzic, Yung Alpha, The Kemist, and Marc Jouanneaux, while Vegas shares the booth with the late Daddy URoy, Demelo, and Greentone. Despite being a veteran, Mr. Vegas finds the time to pay homage to the foundations of Jamaican music, while adding his own sound to extend their lifelines.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Carol Gonzalez – Spoiled By Your Love (1986/1991)

Posted on June 9, 2019June 23, 2019 by swadedavillain

It’s Wedding SZN! For the month of June, Oldies Sunday will feature some love songs that can be a great addition to your Wedding Playlists, and could be the official song to dance to. Today we go back a few decades with Carol Gonzalez and her single, “Spoiled By Your Love“! With two versions of this track produced by Donovan Germain, one version was released through the Rub-A-Dub label in 1986, while the 2nd version was released through Penthouse Records in 1991. The Rub-A-Dub version catered to Reggae listeners with a slow tempo and the legendary Dean Fraser playing the Saxophone while the Penthouse release was more of a Dancehall version with a faster tempo. The track was a cover of US Recording Artist Anita Ward’s single that was featured on her 1979 debut album, “Songs Of Love“. On the song, Carol spoke on a lover she could not get over, and no matter who she moved on with, he was just “the real thing“. Both versions of the song had Carol’s name buzzing locally and overseas, and received favourable airplay.

While Carol Gonzalez released more music over the years, and even scored a couple hits, she took a break to focus on her Law career (Attorney-at Law and a Judge). She came back to music for a short period in 2006 and launched her debut album a year later, but today she still practices Law.
