Super Beagle & Reggie Stepper Sampled On New @FreddieGibbs & @Alchemist Project

Posted on by swadedavillain

In the wee hours of Friday July 25, US Rapper Freddie Gibbs and Producer The Alchemist released their new collaborative project called, “Alfredo 2“. The new project is the sequel to their 2020 release, and features the duo sharing street tales, and a display of lyrical exercises over solid production. Fans have anticipated this project for quite some time, but some may have heard a familiar sound on one of the tracks.

On track 5 of Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist’s “Alfredo 2” named “Empanadas“, Reggie Stepper and Super Beagle’s “Cu Oonuh” was sampled throughout. Produced by Winston Riley on the “Stalag Riddim” and released through the Techniques label in 1993, “Cu Oonuh” was one of Stepper’s biggest singles. The intro for the track, which was performed by Super Beagle, was sampled for “Empanadas”. “Cu Oonuh” was previously sampled on Rapper Logic’s “Bobby Tarantino 2” project, its most popular sampling was done on Kanye West’s 2012 track, “Mercy“. Freddie Gibbs is no stranger to using Dancehall/Reggae in his music, and has previously worked with Agent Sasco for his “Bandana” project, and sampled Dancehall music for previous projects. We hope the respective people sampled and their estates are taken care of fairly. “Alfredo 2” is out now.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Reggie Stepper – Drum Pan Sound (1990)

Posted on by swadedavillain

The Soundclash culture is one that many should be celebrating. The world has seen the rise of many sounds, and the derailment of some thanks to the Soundclash events where they pit their best against each other. The Dubplate is a very important tool in a Soundclash, and many of your favourite Artists have recorded tracks to be used in the wars. For our Oldies Sunday selection, we highlight an Artist who has recorded his share of dubplates that have aided many sounds. His name is Reggie Stepper, and his track is “Drum Pan Sound“.

Produced by Steely & Clevie on the “Stalag Riddim” and released through their label in 1990, Reggie Stepper gets into some Soundclash vibes on “Drum Pan Sound”. Throughout the track, he jeers the sounds who aren’t at their best, and there is no tolerance for those who can match up to his team. Stepper throws in his signature style, and it puts the listener in the audience at a Soundclash. “Drum Pan Sound” became a popular track for Stepper, and Selectors would request Dubplate versions for their respective sounds. “Drum Pan Sound” was also sampled over the years on tracks like “Wreck Shop” by Run-D.M.C., “Chief Rocka” by Lords Of The Underground, and recently on Nas’ “Magic 2” album on the track, “Bokeem Woodbine“.

Since the release of “Drum Pan Sound”, Reggie Stepper continued to release more music, perform in various parts of the world, and fulfilled Dubplate requests for many Selectors and sounds. “Drum Pan Sound” remains one of his more recognized tracks.

Thank You Reggie Stepper For This Track!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Have you been watching any films lately? If so, have you seen the new Netflix movie, “See You Yesterday“? Directed by Stefon Bristol and produced by Spike Lee, the movie finds two best friends, CJ and Sebastian, (Eden Duncan-Smith and Dante Crichlow respectively) building Time Machines in an effort to reverse the unjustly death of CJ’s brother. While the Film aims to give you a lil Sci Fi fun, you might hear some familiar music in it. As a part of the Film’s soundtrack, the late Tenor Saw’s 1985 hit, “Ring The Alarm“, and Dawn Penn’s 1994 hit, “You Don’t Love Me (No No No)” were featured! “Ring The Alarm” was featured on the “Stalag Riddim” and released through Winston Riley’s Techniques label while “You Don’t Love Me” was a Dancehall remake of Dawn Penn’s 1967 single.

The soundtrack choices wouldn’t be the first time a Spike Lee production featured Caribbean music as his Netflix series “She’s Gotta Have It” featured Dancehall, Reggae, and Soca music (more on that here). “See You Yesterday” is now playing on Netflix, but you can check out the Trailer below and share with a friend.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Little Kirk – What’s Love Got To Do (1984)

Posted on by swadedavillain

In recognition of May being “Child’s Month“, Oldies Sunday will be highlighting a few child stars who made some noise in music. Today we go back to the 80’s with Recording Artist Little Kirk and his cover of the Tina Turner classic, “What’s Love Got To Do“! Produced by Winston Riley on the Stalag Riddim, this was released in 1984 and featured on the LP, “Original Stalag 17, 18, & 19“. Having gotten his start through the Sound systems in his early teens, Little Kirk could be found covering popular tracks with a dose of his distinct sound and delivery.

Since the release of “What’s Love Got To Do”, Little Kirk has went on to release numerous singles and albums, and became one of the main voices at the Patrick Roberts owned “Shocking Vibes” label along with his younger brother, Beenie Man. In recent years however, he has switched to releasing Gospel Music but still performs many of his previous singles when he’s on tour.

Reggie Stepper’s “Cu Oonuh” Sampled On @Logic301’s “Bobby Tarantino 2”!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Are there any Logic fans here? Known for dropping stand out lyrics in the modern era of Hip Hop, he continues to expand his brand with the release of his latest Mixtape, “Bobby Tarantino 2“. Comprised of 13 tracks, he tackles various issues, brings along some of his friends, and makes listeners know he’s still sharp with the bars. Starting off track 11 however, listeners may hear some familiar vocals. Previously heard on Kanye West’s 2012 track “Mercy“, Dancehall/Reggae Artist Reggie Stepper’s “Cu Oonuh” was sampled on the Big Sean featured, “Wassup“! “Cu Oonuh” was produced by the late Winton Riley on the Stalag Riddim, and released on the Techniques label in 1993. “Wassup”, which was produced by 6ix, borrows the legendary intro of the track which was done by Fuzzy Jones. “Cu Oonuh” was also sampled on Lil Wayne and Drake’s “Believe Me“, and The Roots’ “Push Up Ya Lighter“. Logic is no stranger to performing on Dancehall/Reggae samples as Barrington Levy’s “The Vibes Is Right” was sampled on his 2016 track, “44 Bars“.

Logic’s “Bobby Tarantino 2” is now available on all major streaming services. Hear the tracks below.
