OLDIES SUNDAY: Asher D & Daddy Freddy – Summertime (1988)

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s been a while, but Sundays are for “Oldies Sunday“! Summer is officially here, and that means lots of outside activities for many. One key addition is music, and we have an Oldies Sunday selection for you to check out. Tune in to UK-based duo Asher D & Daddy Freddy’s “Summertime“.

Produced by Simon Harris and released through Music Of Life in 1988, Asher D (not to be confused with UK Rapper & “Top Boy” Actor Asher D) & Daddy Freddy gave us a Jamaican style cover of the classic single, “In The Summertime“. “In The Summertime” was originally recorded by British Rock Band Mungo Jerry in 1970, and was huge hit. “Summertime” not only borrowed elements from the original track, but focused on the beautiful ladies from Jamaica, New York, London, Germany, and Italy who would catch the attention of the duo. The song celebrates the summer holidays, beautiful Women, and paid homage to a classic song.

Asher D & Daddy Freddy were the originators of the “Raggamuffin Hip Hop” subgenre, a fusion of Ragga and Hip Hop, and found success with “Summertime” and previously released music. Since the release of “Summertime”, the duo were temporarily split up due to Asher D’s imprisonment in the late 1980s, but reunited in early 1991 before splitting up again indefinitely. Daddy Freddy (who became the World’s Fastest Rapper in 1989 and was inducted in the Guinness Book Of World Records) is still active as a solo Artist, but Asher D has been absent since the 90s. Fans of “Summertime” still play it to this day, reminiscing on the summer holidays in their younger years.

Thank You Asher D & Daddy FreddY For This Tune!

OLDIES SUNDAY: Ding Dong Ft. @IAmQyor – Holiday (2009)

Posted on by swadedavillain

This past week marked the beginning of the 2022 Summer season. Many have been looking forward to relaxing, having fun, explore new territories, and meet new people, and we urge you all to be safe. Nothing says Summer in Jamaica like a party series, or a Summer song. For today’s Oldies Sunday selection, we look back at one of Dancehall’s greatest Summer songs, and it comes from Dancehall Artist/Dancer Ding Dong with the track, “Holiday“!

Produced by Wayne “Hunga” Thompson for Notice Productions and released in 2009, Ding Dong’s “Holiday” single features Recording Artist Chevaughn. On the track, the Artists celebrate taking a break from everything to have endless fun. Whether you were putting down the schoolbooks or escaping the 9 to 5, this was your time to call up friends, and find yourselves somewhere to release the stress. The upbeat single encouraged listeners to break out the dance moves, and the accompanying Road Block Films directed music video showed off colourful outfits, and scenes with friends kicking back and enjoying the Summer holidays.

Ding Dong and Chevaughn’s “Holiday” was a hit, becoming a top ten single in Jamaica, and gaining momentum around the world. The single received a great amount of airplay, and it is considered a classic Dancehall Summer song. Since the release of “Holiday”, Ding Dong has been enjoying a very lucrative music and dance career, and he is still active and on top of his game. Chevaughn scored a few hits for himself over the years, and has recently changed his stage name to Qyor. For those who are ready for the Summer, remember to put “Holiday” in your Playlists.

Austria based singer, Miss Str8 is focused on raising the heat with her new release, “Summertime.” She wrote the song with the intention of reminding us to enjoy the bright sunshiny days and encourage us to make the most of the hot weather months.

“Being a Jamaican living in Austria where there are no beaches like Jamaica, it just makes you think of what’s missing. The vibes, the people and no one looks at you like, you’re crazy when you’re singing and dancing on the streets. The vibes in the Clubs tun up! Every summer there is a different style, so the ladies think about what to wear for the season,” Miss Str8 reflects.

She recalls some of her most memorable summer experiences, “I went on a Caribbean cruise with my son, it was extremely nice, he loved it. I also had an awesome time at the Legoland Deutschland resort in Germany, that was crazy fun”

Summertime was produced by, Ras Askia of Hardcore Production and is now available on iTunes. Miss Str8 said, “An official music video is currently in the making and will be released early July. It will feature dancers: Barbie Slimaz from Aruba, Tamica flex doll from Germany, My BFF Stella and Tatjana my son Jafari. The Summertime artwork cover is spectacular and was done by Dobra Fiezt-Bridges.”

Miss Str8 is a popular dancehall artiste in Austria. She is a true ambassador for dancehall in that region being a former dancehall queen titleholder. She performed in Jamaica for the first time at the last staging of the annual Boxing Day event, Sting.
