OLDIES SUNDAY: Yabby You – Deliver Me From My Enemies (1977)

Posted on by swadedavillain

In today’s world, many are unsure of who really has their backs. Regardless, we have to trust in a higher power. Today’s Oldies Sunday selection comes from the great Yabby You with the track, “Deliver Me From My Enemies“.

With Yabby You handling the production and released through Grove Music in 1977, “Deliver Me From My Enemies” is Yabby’s way of asking God for protection from those who wish to endanger him. He utilizes Psalm 143:8-10 throughout the song through a chant like delivery, and the sounds that accompany makes it for a very spiritual listen. The track was featured on his album of the same name in 1977. Born Vivian Jackson, he had a rough upbringing due to poverty, and after experiencing severe Arthritis at age 17, he became partially crippled. He found himself hustling in the streets for quite some time before finding success with the single, “Conquering Lion”. From there, he became known in various circles, and recorded and produced for many upcoming and established Artists. He passed away in 2010 from a Brain Aneurysm.

THANK YOU YABBY YOU!

Jamaica JAmaica Tourist Board Chris Malachi Music Video Music Dancehall Blog 13thStreetPRomotions 13thStreetPromo Everything Cool Irie Mon Tourist Tourism Paradise Caribbean Singer Koastal Kings

.@ChrisMalachi Shows Another Side Of Paradise On “Everything Cool”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Remember seeing those travel commercials inviting you to come to the Caribbean? How about those about coming to Jamaica? Yes the Island is a home away from home, and is indeed a paradise, but have you ever taken a look into how the residents are living outside the Hotels and Resorts that you’re used to? Well, Recording Artist Chris Malachi wants to give you a first hand look into life inside  “Paradise” on “Everything Cool“!

Produced by Koastal Kings, Chris Malachi’s “Everything Cool” is far from all that “Tropical” vibes foreigners speak of. You are in for a surprise if you thought this was a party song. While Tourists can get fat and lazy on the white sand beaches with a few Red Stripes in the cooler, Chris sheds a light on what Jamaicans are going through daily. Chris’ delivery is great as always on “Everything Cool”, and this is an important song that puts the island and the leaders under a microscope. From rising crime, to classism, to the Government failing the people, to a bad economy, the single and video will wake up many, and a change needs to happen.

Accompanying the single is a music video directed by Chris and Maya Wilkinson that was so beautifully presented, that even the Jamaica Tourist Board would blush. The video isn’t without a great cast which include Shernette Higgins, Koastal Kings, Bernard Hasenbichler, O’Neil Dacres, and the legendary Owen “Blakka” Ellis. Chris Malachi cleverly promoted the single through a series of Tourism related content that was reminiscent of the “Kool Runnings” and “Come Back To Jamaica” eras, and he has a lot more in store in the coming days. Who is gonna fight for us?

Sia’s “Cheap Thrills” Featuring @DuttyPaul Gets Featured In @Marvel’s “Black Widow” Film!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recently, Marvel Studios released their long awaited Film, “Black Widow“. The movie finds the Comic Book heroine going through some quests between the “Captain America: Civil War“, and the “Avengers: Infinity Wars” Films. Directed by Cate Shortland, the Film has a terrific score thanks to Lorne Balfe, but one of the highlights in the Film came in the form of the inclusion of Pop Artist Sia and Dancehall Artist Sean Paul’s “Cheap Thrills“.

Produced by Greg Kurstin, the Synthpop/Dancehall track was released in 2016, and was the second single on Sia’s “This Is Acting” album. The song was originally made without Sean Paul and was shopped to Rihanna for her album “Anti”, but was rejected. The Sean Paul featured version peaked at #1 on the US Hot 100 Billboard Charts, and was certified multiplatinum. “Cheap Thrills” was played in the scene before Black Widow encounters one of the Film’s antagonists, “Taskmaster“. “Black Widow” is available for streaming on the Disney+ platform.
