.@JadaKingdom Suffers From “GPP” On New Single With @DiGenius1!

Posted on by swadedavillain

There’s something about a Woman that drives Men (and Women) crazy. It may be the looks, the personality, or her name, but whatever it is, it has a lasting effect. For Recording Artist Jada Kingdom, she has a couple reasons why they go crazy, and she shares it in her new single, “GPP“.

Produced by Stephen “Di Genius” McGregor, Jada Kingdom shares her dilemma of the Men that go crazy when they get to know her. Jada knows she’s a powerful Woman, and it’s only natural that the Men will get addicted to her. Her collaboration with Di Genius was previewed months before, and it gained viral success on TikTok, with fans anticipating the full single’s release.

Expect more work with Di Genius and Jada Kingdom as it was announced that they have contributed to Recording Artist John Legend’s upcoming album! Jada will be performing in a location near you, so stay tuned for announcements.

Steely & Clevie & Shabba Ranks Get Sampled On New @TaiAyshaMami X @Saweetie Single!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Ting-A-Ling-A-Ling, a new song is in, sampling some sounds from a 90s Dancehall Riddim! Model/Recording Artist Tai’Aysha made her debut today with the single, “One Night Ting“. The single features an appearance by Saweetie, and was co-produced by the legendary Stephen “Di Genius” McGregor! While there is high hopes that this will be a hit for Tai’Aysha, we’re here for the sample! Dancehall heads would immediately pick out a similar sound, namely Shabba Ranks’ 1992 classic, “Ting-A-Ling“. “Ting-A-Ling” would come from a classic Riddim called, the “Gi-Gi Riddim“.

The “Gi-Gi Riddim” was produced by the legendary Production duo of Steely & Clevie a.k.a. Wycliffe Johnson and Cleveland Browne, helped to birth the classic Shabba Ranks single, “Ting-A-Ling”. “Ting-A-Ling” was featured on Shabba’s 1992 “X-tra Naked” Album. “X-Tra Naked” won a GRAMMY for Best Reggae Album in 1993, and was certified Gold. Tai’Aysha and Saweetie’s “One Night Ting” isn’t the first time “Ting-A-Ling” got sampled, and everyone from Patra, Wale, Vybz Kartel, to Nicki Minaj all sampled “Ting-A-Ling” and the “Gi-Gi Riddim”.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Singer/Actress/Reality TV Star Amara La Negra has been enjoying an enormous amount of buzz since crossing over to the US market thanks to her appearances on VH1’s “Love & Hip Hop: Miami“.

Produced by Theron Thomas of Rock City and Supa Dups (with Stephen “Di Genius” McGregor making a cameo appearance), Amara wants to get to the bottom of things as her intuition is tingling when it comes to matters of the heart.

2017 Faves: @ChronixxMusic – Christina (#2)

Posted on by swadedavillain

As 2017 comes to a close, we look back at a few songs that were favourites on the Blog for the year. While we can’t name EVERY one, we’ll give you 5 (in no particular order so hold off on the ego) to reminisce on, or get familiar with.

Our second to last pick today comes from the “Dread and Terrible” Chronixx with “Christina“! The single is track #15 off his Grammy nominated debut Album, “Chronology” which was released in July. Featuring Stephen “Di Genius” McGregor as the Producer, and contribution from Blues Guitar legend Donald Kinsey, Chronixx speaks on believing in himself and working towards his dreams despite facing opposition from his then partner, Christina. The message in this is to never let anything stop you from pursuing your dreams. Leave those that doubt in the back, and move forward. A video for this would be lovely (tell Chronixx and his Manager Daddi Barnz that we have some ideas) however. If you missed our previous picks, check them out here. Hear “Christina” below!
