We Pay Tribute To Jimmy Cliff With New “Sampling” Playlist

Posted on by swadedavillain

On November 24 2025, the world mourned the loss of one of Reggae’s most legendary Ambassadors, Jimmy Cliff. One of the pioneering Artists of the genre, he took Reggae to places that have never heard of it, and solidified himself as one of Jamaica’s true Rockstars. He scored big in music, and in Film, and has influenced generations. Despite him not being here physically, his musical legacy, name, and family live on. We send our condolences to his family at this time. We pay tribute to the Icon with our latest Playlist, “Sampling Jimmy Cliff“.

While Jimmy Cliff’s catalogue has been off limits in the case of sampling, there were a few Artists who were allowed a chance to, who then managed to treat the music with respect, and paid tribute through their own creations. Featuring the likes of Rebel MC, Cutty Ranks, FatBoy Slim, Afroman, and Kris Kross Amsterdam, you can tune in to some of the sampled works, and the original hits from Dr. Cliff himself. If you aren’t familiar with our Playlist selections, check them out here. Thank you Jimmy Cliff for your work and life, and may you continue inspiring many for years to come. Sleep well, legend.

We Salute The Late Max Romeo With Our Latest Playlist

Posted on by swadedavillain

On April 11, the world lost another legend. The news of Reggae Icon Max Romeo’s passing was definitely a shock to many, and tributes were quickly made public. Since the 1960s, Romeo defined an era where he delivered songs that stood out from the pack, with lyrics that have inspired generations of Artists, and caused bans and censorships. He became a dominant force, and he never backed down from whatever or whoever stood in the way. He is a legend, will be missed by many, and his legacy will be carried on by his children, and those who have joined his movement. We pay tribute to him with our latest Playlist, “Sampling Max Romeo“.

Featuring a few tracks, we showcase not only some of Max Romeo’s works, but Artists in Hip Hop, Pop, EDM, and Reggae who have sampled his music on the “Sampling Max Romeo” Playlist. Many of us know Jay Z’s “Lucifer” that sampled “Chase The Devil“, but we’re using this time to highlight even more. Hopefully there will be more who will sample his work in the future, just make sure the business is handled well with his family. Salute to the late Max Romeo. Max Romeo 4Eva!

On March 11, Jamaican music lost another legend. Renowned Recording Artist Cocoa Tea passed away, leaving many in mourning. The Man from Rocky Point, Clarendon was the Ingredient to many classic Reggae and Dancehall hits, one of the names to call for a Dubplate at a Sound Clash, and he leaves behind a legacy that many will appreciate for generations to come. With many taking the time out to spin many of his hits, we’ve decided to pay tribute to him in another way over here. Today, we present, the “Sampling Cocoa Tea” Playlist.

Cocoa Tea may not have had many of his songs sampled over the years, but there have been a number of Artists and DJs who have shown their appreciation for his music. This Playlist’s runtime is for a little over 2 hours, but you can tune in to music from the late Icon, along with Artists like JPEGMafia, Joss Stone, Arrested Development, Troy Ave, 2Pac, Pendulum, and Pete Rock who have used his works in their creations. For this Article, we’re also including a few of our favourite Cocoa Tea tracks, and if you have a favourite song from him, be sure to share with us in the comments section, or on our Social Media platforms. Sleep well Cocoa Tea!

We Look At Songs That Sampled Shabba Ranks In Our Latest Playlist

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today (January 17), we celebrate the birthday of a giant, a column, and a King of Dancehall, Shabba Ranks. The Man born Rexton Gordon made significant contributions to the genre, with a few extras. Shabba was not only a huge earner for Dancehall Music in the 90s and successfully crossed over to the International market, but was the first Deejay to score GRAMMY awards. He paved the way for a number of Artists, scored a national honour for his work, and is still celebrated today. Today, we recognize his 59th birthday, and celebrate his catalogue with our latest Playlist.

In our “Sampling Shabba Ranks” Playlist, we shed a light on the number of times Dancehall legend Shabba Ranks has been sampled. There was been a number of times from Hip Hop, to Pop, to Electronic Music where the Deejay has been sampled, and we’re taking the time to not only highlight, but educate on how far this Dancehall music has gotten in the world. Did you know that he was sampled by Alanis Morrissette, one of the 90s biggest Artists? Did you also know that he was the inspiration behind one of the biggest musical genres in Latin America? Let this Playlist aid you in your quest to learn more about Shabba Ranks if you’re not familiar. If you wish, you can check out our other Playlists, including fellow January born Artists Vybz Kartel, Sean Paul, and Ninjaman.

Nigy Boy Made 2024 His Best Year, Check Out His New Playlist

Posted on by swadedavillain

2024 was a year of revelations, exposure, triumphs, and improvements. In the Jamaican music scene, a number of Artists scored big and expanded on their brands, while others started to decline. For Dancehall crooner Nigy Boy, who has been on the scene for a number of years, he enjoyed his biggest year in music. He started off the year strong, secured degrees and accolades, and ended it on a high. We commend Nigy’s ascension, and we highlight his best year with a new Playlist.

We invite you to tune in to a display of an Artist who never let his disability hinder him from success, became the “Most Improved Player“, and he has a lot more to conquer. With Nigy Boy’s knack for delivering tunes about being the Ladies Man, “The Blind Casanova” Playlist highlights his 2024 hits that definitely built his female fanbase, and shines a spotlight on his songwriting skills. From “Continental” to “Karma” to “Old Gyalis“, you can’t deny Nigy’s presence in Jamaican music. We believe the hitmaker will stand out even more in 2025, but today, we can reflect on an awesome year. Big up “1FadaBlind“.

(Sidenote: The Playlist cover was inspired by another blind Casanova, Ray Charles)
