OLDIES SUNDAY: Delroy Wilson – Emy Lou (1963)

Posted on May 4, 2025May 11, 2025 by swadedavillain

May is recognized as “Child’s Month“, and on “Oldies Sunday“, we highlight some of the Child Stars of yesteryear. For today’s entry, we bring you Jamaica’s first Child Star, Delroy Wilson with the track, “Emy Lou“.

Produced by “Sir Coxsone” Dodd and released through the Supreme Label in 1963, Delroy Wilson is infatuated by a young Woman named, “Emy Lou”. He shares that even if she’s avoiding him, or even taken by another, he still has the eyes for her. This Ska release was Wilson’s debut single, and even though it didn’t create waves at first, it opened doors for him to score official hits as a Teen, and later on as an Adult. From Ska to Rocksteady to Reggae, Wilson’s name was big in the world, and he gained in many ways through music. Delroy Wilson passed away in 1995, but left behind a legacy that is celebrated by the young and old. His son Karl, known to the world as Konan from “Krept And Konan“, paid tribute to him earlier this year with the single, “Delroy’s Son“.

Thank You Delroy Wilson For This Hit!

Vybz Kartel’s “Clarks” Featured In New Supreme X @Transformers Promo

Posted on April 16, 2025April 23, 2025 by swadedavillain

Where are the Streetwear Scholars? The Brand Aficionados? Streetwear brand Supreme has announced their official collaboration with the classic “Transformers” franchise. The hit TV/Film franchise teams up with the New York-founded Streetwear brand to launch a new Optimus Prime figure featuring special makeup/branding. To kick things off, the collaborators released a promotional video to announce the new venture, but a familiar sound was featured throughout.

In the promotional video for Supreme and Transformers’ new collaboration made by PlasticAction that features a dancing Optimus Prime action figure, Vybz Kartel’s 2009 hit single, “Clarks” was used in the soundtrack. Produced by ZJ Chrome, Vybz Kartel’s “Clarks” was an ode to the popular British Footwear brand. The song also featured a then upcoming Artist named Popcaan, who recently joined the Portmore Empire/Gaza collective, and Gaza Slim who also a fresh recruit. “Clarks” would take the scene by storm, and further contributed to the already growing love for the line of shoes in Jamaica, and the rest of the Caribbean. With Vybz Kartel being featured in the promotional spot, it’s only right that Supreme reaches out for a collaboration (Supreme if you’re reading this, I want a care package of the Vybz Kartel collab please and thanks).

Supreme x Transformers launches on April 17 on Supreme’s webstore.
