.@DiRealShaggy Pays Tribute To “Junjo” Lawes, Talks New Projects & More With @JamaicansDotCom

Posted on by swadedavillain

International Dancehall/Reggae Ambassador Shaggy is a student of the music. Despite having a well-decorated music career, he always salutes those who have paved the way for him and others to go. It’s not hard to know when you listen to his catalogue as he finds ways to mold a classic tune into something for the new generation to enjoy. Recently, he had a chat with Kadia Francis of Jamaicans.com, and he had a lot to share.

In his new Interview with Jamaicans.com, Shaggy spoke on the significance of the late Producer Henry “Junjo” Lawes, his many contributions to the culture, being a foundation for Dancehall, and how Shaggy pays tribute to his work with the release of his new “Badman Riddim” Compilation. The new Riddim was previewed in 2024 with singles from Spice (who he shared a great deal about), Junior Cat, and Shaggy and Olaf Blackwood, and is set to be fully released later this year. Shaggy also spoke on his “Mr. Symphonic” project with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, and how important it was to do something like this to expand on his creativity. He also shared his views on the newer crop of Dancehall Artists, name dropping a few who have shown up on his radar, and highlighted how necessary it is to stand out as an Artist. He also emphasized the importance of musical foundations, and there should be more to learn from previous generations, to assist in developing future generations. “Mr. Boombastic” shared plenty in this Interview, and listeners will be intrigued and motivated, especially when they learn how some of his hits were just sitting on hard drives before being released.

Catch Shaggy on May 17 with Lila Ike at The Issa Trust Foundation’s 20th Anniversary “For The Children” Event at Couples Sans Souci, Ocho Rios, St. Ann.

Badda General "The Debate" on 13thStreetPromotions.com #Jamaica #Dancehall #Music #13thStreetPromotions #BaddaGeneral #TheDebate #KingOfDancehall #VybzKartel #BeenieMan #BountyKilla #Alkaline #Masicka #KingOfTheDancehall #Caribbean

Badda General Weighs In On The “King Of Dancehall” Topic In “The Debate”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Who is the King of Dancehall? Some say Bounty, some say Beenie, some say Kartel, some say Alka, some say Masicka. With plenty of names being thrown in the hat whenever conversations start, there is always division. Recently, the topic got hot when Vybz Kartel was given the title, but fellow Dancehall Artist Beenie Man opposed, and shared a few words about it. Dancehall Artist/Producer Badda General decided to step in, and discuss the new controversy in the single, “The Debate“.

Released through Real Squad Records, Badda General weighs in on the “King of Dancehall” topic in “The Debate”. While there are a number of names being called aside from Vybz Kartel, Badda shares that at the end of the day, no matter what awards, sales, and streams say, the streets make the overall decision on who qualifies for the Dancehall throne. He mentioned former GRAMMY winners Sean Paul, Shabba Ranks, Buju Banton, and Shaggy, who have made great contributions to uplifting the culture, but he also gave a short History lesson on past Artists who helped to shape Dancehall, and are a part of the G.O.A.T. list like U-Roy and Yellowman. There will be Kings, and everyone has their time, but the debates will never end. Who is YOUR King of Dancehall?

.@JahvyAmbassador, Alkaline Take #1 Spot With “Dangerous Youth”

Posted on by swadedavillain

No matter what the detractors may say, Dancehall Music is still a dominant force. It continues to be a global phenomenon thanks to the many Ambassadors of the genre, and will stay that way for years to come. Dancehall Producer Jahvy of Tru Ambassador Ent. has been a dedicated representative of the culture, and he has enjoyed a vast amount of success over the years. He recently celebrated another milestone thanks in part to Dancehall Artist, Alkaline.

Recently, Jahvy and Alkaline teamed up for the single, “Dangerous Youth”. Another entry in the list of collaborations they have together, “Dangerous Youth” finds the Deejay in his element as one of Dancehall’s big names over solid production. The collaboration quickly gained traction on music streaming platforms, climbing to over 100,000 views on Youtube in just hours. Strong support for the single was expected, but it further solidified its place by taking the #1 spot on the iTunes Reggae Singles chart. The move was deemed monumental as it towered over Bob Marley’s classic single, “Three Little Birds”, Stephen Marley’s “You Don’t Know How It Feels”, iNi Kamoze’s “Here Comes The Hotstepper”, Shaggy’s “Angel” and “It Wasn’t Me”, and Jimmy Cliff’s “I Can See Clearly Now”. Jahvy shared his accomplishment on Social Media with the caption, “#1, doh get e figure wrong”, and shouting out Alkaline as collaborator, and longtime friend.

Jahvy continues to keep his Tru Ambassador Ent. Ship sailing, and with the success of Dancehall Artist 450, and Producers Week.Day and Falconn under his management, there is a lot more ground for him to conquer. He has hinted at a number of developments to come via his Social Media platforms, and he urges fans to stay tuned.

Jahvy and Alkaline’s “Dangerous Youth” is out now on all digital music streaming platforms.

Today (July 1) is recognized as “International Reggae Day“, and we salute the pioneers, the movers and shakers, and the talent who took this genre to every part of the world, influencing generations. One of people who made Reggae an emerging force in the beginning was the late Producer Leslie Kong. Through Kong, the career of Jimmy Cliff took off, the launch of Beverley’s Records from a small Record Shop, to a Internationally known Record Label happened, Bob Marley got to record his first single, the establishment of Chris Blackwell’s Island Records and Graeme Goodall’s short-lived Pyramid label through his early investments, and taking Reggae Music to the International market. Kong also became the Island’s leading Producer having worked with everyone from Toots and The Maytals, Desmond Dekker, and many others. Today, we salute his work with our latest Playlist, “Sampling Leslie Kong“.

For over 3 1/2 hours, “Sampling Leslie Kong” highlights some of Kong’s many hits, and the songs that sampled them. From Jimmy Cliff, to Toots and The Maytals, to Bob Marley, to Desmond Dekker, to Christina Aguilera, to Foxy Brown, to Shaggy, to Vampire Weekend, to SchoolBoy Q, to FatBoySlim, the new Playlist will entertain you, and of course educate you.
