KMarley

The “Shotta” Ky-Mani Marley stopped by Power 105.1’s “The Breakfast Club” for a quick interview. Here he spoke a little about his background, releasing his first album in 8 years, his father’s legacy and recalling a memory with him, touring and more. Great interview here, while many will remember Ky-Mani for being a part of the classic “Shottas“, they will need to add his music to their collection. “Maestro” will be out on June 30. Check out the video below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

With movies, sports and music under his belt, Kymani Marley is really the jack of all trades in the Marley clan.

Kymani also premiered the music video for “All The Way“. Check out the video below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

Onstage

With the premiere of the “Jamaican Mafia” hitting screens this month, actors Paul Campbell and Mykal Fax stepped on Onstage to speak on the film and more with Winford Williams. Here the actors spoke about the film, their roles in the making of the film, Mykal’s background and previous work in film, Paul’s achievements in film, thoughts on Jamaican movies with violent themes being released, preparing for their roles and more. With Jamaican films like “Shottas“, “The Harder They Come” and “Dancehall Queen” being very successful worldwide, I do hope “Jamaican Mafia” is the next film to make a mark in the record books. Check out the interview and trailer below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Pan Head – GunMan Tune (1991)

Posted on by swadedavillain

[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.

NEW VIDEO: @TheCham – Lawless

Posted on by swadedavillain

Wa-Wow! Remember when that used to be the intro for Baby Cham? Well today’s entry comes from Cham himself and there’s no mention of his once famous intro. Titled “Lawless“, this is a song for the shottas, dons, bosses…you get the drift. Shot by Dennis Brown of V.S.M.P., Cham is shown along with an accomplice escaping the law while highlighting the various communities across Jamaica that shottas reside in his lyrics. Cool video, clean quality as well and is worth the watch. Click on the video above to view and share your comments in the comments section.
