OLDIES SUNDAY: Byron Lee & The Dragonaires – Soca Tatie (1995)

Posted on by swadedavillain

On June 28, renowned Tobagonian Recording Artist Oscar B passed away. The legendary Artist has been one of the biggest voices in Soca, and has been a part of many classics, especially with Byron Lee and The Dragonaires as the lead Singer. Today on “Oldies Sunday“, we salute the legend, and his work will live on. For today’s entry, we go back in time to check out, “Soca Tatie“.

Produced by Byron Lee and featuring Dancehall legend Admiral Bailey and released through Dynamic Sounds in 1995, Oscar B along with Byron Lee and The Dragonaires delivered a track that really the people dancing the “Soca Tatie”. The “Tatie” dance was introduced in the Dancehall scene previously, but the Soca touch gave it a bigger presence. The vibes paired with some upbeat production and vocal contributions from Oscar B and Admiral Bailey became a hit instantly, becoming a part of a large catalogue of hits. “Soca Tatie” was featured on the band’s 1995 album of the same name.

Since the release of “Soca Tatie”, Oscar B continued working with Byron Lee and The Dragonaires until Lee’s passing in 2008, and after when the band was renamed “The Dragonaires”. Oscar B passed away in June 2026 from complications following suffering a stroke. His legacy lives on, and many still play “Soca Tatie” in remembrance.

Sleep Well, Oscar B. Thanks For The Hits!

Nelly Cottoy Needs Her “Licka”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Kicking old habits are not the easiest of things to do, sometimes the willpower is not strong enough. Those familiar sensations will have a hold on you, and you’ll be caught up in that rapture. Even the “Queen Of Zess” Nelly Cottoy is trying to kick some habits, but in the late night, she is in need of her “Licka“.

Produced by Bing Bang Studioz/Studio Impact on the “Rose Riddim“, Nelly Cottoy folds under pressure all for the love of “Licka”. When you’re trying to go cold turkey and swear off things, sometimes it takes bad timing to get caught up all over again. This Woman however, misses her “liqs” and “licks“. With a flashy music video co-directed with MarDonn, Nelly thought life was getting better, but it was only a matter of time before she was called back in, and reunite with her supplier. Nelly Cottoy is pretty busy this time of year, and with a Caribbean Music Awards nomination on deck along with live show dates, expect to hear even more from her this summer.

Posted on by swadedavillain

The “Hill & Gully” agenda grows, and Di Genius has even more up his sleeve in the coming days. From the hills and gullies, to the city streets, the Women are everywhere, and their beauty continues to strike many. Trini star Kes finds himself wherever the Women are, and he admires them like works of Art. You can say, “Masterpiece“.

Kes gives the “Hill & Gully Riddim” some extra spice with the release of, “Masterpiece”. A Woman’s beauty is the reason for many songs, and this new single is no different. With a music video directed by Shane Creative, Kes finds himself in the thick of things, with his eyes wandering at all the beauty he sees. We also see some of the beauties in action during the recent Jamaica Carnival event, and the footage makes for some great additions. Di Genius teased that Aidonia will be joining the compilation, and we hope it’s this week for the official premiere. She pretty like the Carnival costumes!

Faith Callender Stays Above The Fake Energy In “Keep It”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Cropover is on the way, and everyone is preparing for it. With a number of selections released since from a number of Bajan acts, Faith Callender has been staying busy herself. While she preps for Carnival, she’s also taking over stages leading up to it. She aims to make every day a positive one, and for those who wish to spoil it with negativity, she says to “Keep It“.

Produced by Osei Delsol and released through Momentum, Faith Callender keeps a heavy schedule with no room for badmind in, “Keep It”. Staying positive is the name of the game, and it is very important for Faith to stay on that level. What she won’t tolerate, is fake energy, bad vibes, and negativity. If you have a problem with that, take a Buckley’s, and stay in your lane. The bouncy production helps to send her message across, and the track looks to stay true to not only those who look to participate in Cropover, and those who are living life day to day. With so much going on in the world, we need more positive music, and a chance to spread joy. Keep Faith Callender in your regular rotation, and look out for more Cropover music.

Terra D Governor Gets Himself “Korra Katara” For Spicemas

Posted on by swadedavillain

Spicemas is on the way! The yearly Carnival event in Grenada is bound to bring out the most energetic people, and the season is looking to be one of the best yet. With Spicemas, it’s a time for unity, fun, good vibes, and sharing. For Recording Artist Terra D Governor, he got himself someone special for Spicemas, and it comes in the form of an animation fave. Check out, “Korra Katara“.

Produced by MadHead Productions, fans of the “Avatar: The Last Airbender” series will develop some jealousy because Terra D Governor got himself “Korra Katara”! For those familiar with the franchise but may be unfamiliar with the story, Korra Katara is the combination of two main characters, Korra in the spinoff series “The Legend Of Korra“, and Katara from the original “Avatar: The Last Airbender” series respectively. “The Legend Of Korra” featured the Protagonist learning and utilizing her Avatar powers to protect her city from spiritual and physical elements, while Katara played a supporting character in the original series, and made an appearance in the spinoff. In the video directed by Mafia.Image, Terra and his Katara (played by Choreographer/Carnival Ambassador Angie) venture through the Island and the various elements, and put on the moves. She can bend the elements, she can Jab Jab, and she is Korra. Ready for Spicemas?
