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)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Before the month is over, we want to show respect to an Architect in Jamaican Music. a Man who created a wave in the early years of Ska Music, and made his name prominent in other genres, that soon made him an inspiration, and Icon. His name is Byron Lee, and if there was a “National Heroes Of Jamaican Music” category, he would’ve been on the list. The late Musician/Producer/Entrepreneur took the music to new territories, and has received numerous accolades for his accomplishments. His Dynamics Sounds Studio was one of the best in the Caribbean, he produced classics in multiple genres, and he gave us “Jamaica Carnival“, popularizing Soca Music in Jamaica, making it accessible for everyone. His band, The Dragonaires, became the standard for many bands in the Caribbean, and have been in movies, on the Radio, and at an event near you. Byron Lee has done so much for Jamaican Music, but today we’re highlighting some of the music that sampled the work of Mr. Lee in our latest Playlist.

While the list is not long, we invite you to tune in to some of the hits that Byron Lee produced over the years, and some of the tracks that used his sound to make their own hits. From Ska, to Dancehall, to Hip Hop, Lee’s DNA could be found in some of your faves. Those who are not familiar, can use this Playlist as a start into discovering more from the late Icon. Long live Byron Lee!

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.

We Pay Tribute To The Late Rhiya Luna In Our Latest Playlist

Posted on by swadedavillain

This post is dedicated to a Mother, a sister, a very unique talent, and a friend. She was born Shaneika Martin, but the music scene first knew her as “Shie“, then later on, Rhiya Luna. We lost this dear individual on March 2 after a long battle with Illness, and it has really left a dark cloud over many who received the news. She was a longtime friend and supporter of this platform, and she was destined to do great things. It’s never easy when you lose a loved one, and one can only keep their memory alive through previous interactions, and their works and hobbies. Today, we pay tribute to Rhiya Luna with a tribute Playlist titled, “Long Live Rhiya Luna“.

For over an hour, listeners can tune in to some of the tracks that Rhiya Luna shared with the world over the years. From Dancehall singles, to R&B and Pop-inspired tracks, to songs with positive messages, she was on her way to doing even more, but life had other plans. She got to share the stage with some great talent, and when there were doubts, she was backed by many who truly believed in her and wanted to see her win. She leaves behind a family who will honour her name, and listeners like us will ensure that the people heard her. Long live Rhiya Luna, sleep well my friend ❤️.
