Will The Wolf Releases Visual For Second Single, “I See You”!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Trini Recording Artist/Creative Will The Wolf is striking while the iron’s hot in his music career. Having enjoyed a buzz with his debut single, “Bang“, he knows he has to keep it going and expand his brand. He follows up with the 2nd single, “I See You“.

Produced by Solo Otto, Will The Wolf makes some observations on someone he cares about, and being careful about who and where he shares his energy over a sweet guitar looped instrumental. The accompanying video was directed Will and shot by Josiah Persad Films, and takes a different step from his successful Napoleon Dynamite inspired debut, and we get a well shot video partially set in a very cozy looking home and ending with a bird’s eye view of some of the island’s beauty. Got to respect the consistency and quality from Will The Wolf, just imagine what many will witness when he reaches his debut project.

In the wake of racial tension and protests for equality all around the world, there is a need for powerful voices to help bring awareness to the many injustices daily. Hailing from St. Croix, USVI, Recording Artiste Krueshef steps up to bring upliftment on his upcoming single, “We Rise Up”.

Produced by Jamaican Producer Dre Swade and released through Kohanim Records, Krueshef brings us motivational lyrics as he lets listeners know that we can do everything through The Most High if you put your trust in him, encourages listeners to pray and keep the faith as they are worth more than material things, and makes the statement that we will rise up even when there is opposition. Krueshef felt the need to take a stand in these trying times, and give the world some hope and words of affirmation. Accompanying the single, is a music video directed by Miami Film Kings that highlights the Black Lives Matter movement, and some of the events that lead up to the start of the movement.

Born Clarence Joseph in St. Croix, USVI, Krueshef had a love for music starting from his childhood days. Inspired by his upbringing and experiences he and others faced, he developed deejaying skills and paired it with his wisdom to uplift, motivate, and entertain listeners near and far. His delivery has oftentimes compared him to Jamaican Dancehall Icon Bounty Killa, and so far he has shared the stage with the likes of Jason Derulo, DMX, and Natty King, and has found success with singles like “Di Great I Am”, “Pray With Me”, and “No Response”.

Krueshef’s “We Rise Up” will be officially available on all digital music streaming platforms on October 10, which is an important day in St. Croix as it recognizes the work of Queen Mary, a leader of the 1878 “Fireburn” uprising.

Lutan Fyah Steps Out With New Single For @LKReggae’s Upcoming EP!

Posted on by swadedavillain

US/Jamaica based Production company Lustre Kings Productions is getting ready to touch the world with some great music. With all that’s going on in the world, they look to provide some healing, entertainment, and consciousness with the release of their upcoming EP, “Star Chile“. With a blend of Reggae, Afrobeats, and Dancehall paired with some of the best voices in the business, the EP promises to be a favourite for many. Kicking off the EP’s rollout is the legendary Lutan Fyah with the track, “No Selfie“.

On the track, Lutan Fyah announces that he is only here for real people, no time for facades and false lifestyles. “Social media tends to have us believing in what we see online and on people’s profiles. That is not necessarily real life. I want to encourage people to know themselves and keep it real. It is a metaphor for being honest and true to yourself.” shared Lutan Fyah. Africa, Mr. Eazi a.k.a. “Star Boy“, and the “Voodoo Chile” Jimi Hendrix were all the inspirations behind the genesis of the “Star Chile Riddim“, the backbone of the “Star Chile EP” according to Andrew Moon Bain, one of the founding members of Lustre Kings Productions. Those elements pushed Andrew to do a deep dive, and emerge with the “Star Chile Riddim” which enlists the exceptional talents of Lutan Fyah, Pressure Busspipe, and Alandon. Consisting of 5 tracks, the EP will hit the streets on October 30 on all digital music streaming platforms through Easy Star Records.
