J’Calm Collabs With Nigy Boy On “Emotions” For Upcoming Album

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recording Artist J’Calm has been building on his brand in the past few years. From International recognition, to collaborations with some of the biggest names in Jamaican music, he’s ensuring his tenure is a long one. With a new album on the way, he’s keeping the people occupied with new music. Recently, he released the single, “Emotions“.

Produced by Tony “CD” Kelly and featuring Nigy Boy, J’Calm taps into R&B/Dancehall vibes in, “Emotions”. The track finds the Artists tapping into their vulnerabilities, and oozing confidence as well throughout, making for a release that will reel in the ladies from around the world. The track samples the “Answer Riddim“, a classic Dancehall Riddim that drew inspiration from Sir Coxsone Dodd’s original production that has had many versions from the likes of Blacker Dread, Steely and Clevie, and “Fatis” Burrell. Fun fact: Tony Kelly also had a version of the “Answer Riddim” that featured Charlie Chaplin. J’Calm’s upcoming album titled, “Emotions”, promises to make an impact, with hopes of enhancing the International Dancehall scene, and place him at the forefront.

Mr. Easy "Drive Me Crazy" on 13thStreetPromotions.com #Jamaica #NewYork #Dancehall #Music #13thStreetPromotions #MrEasy #DrivesMeCrazy #SheDrivesMeCrazy #BuyOutRiddim #TonyKelly #TonyCDKelly #2002 #KLicious #Oldies #OldiesSunday #OldSchool #Caribbean

OLDIES SUNDAY: Mr. Easy – Drive Me Crazy (2001)

Posted on by swadedavillain

There are hits, and then there are smash hit singles. Sometimes we don’t know how to differentiate the two, but time has a way of showing us. This Artist can say he has a smash hit single, as it has transcended decades, and still feels like a new song. Today’s “Oldies Sunday” selection comes from Dancehall/Reggae Singer Mr. Easy, and his track, “Drive Me Crazy“.

Produced by Tony “CD” Kelly on the “Buy Out Riddim” and released through the K-Licious label in 2001, Mr. Easy is in a dilemma in “Drive Me Crazy”. He shares the stress, and the feeling of being bamboozled as the Woman who he has been investing his time in, is not the person who he think she is, but she is pregnant with his child. The song is a reality for many who think they have an ideal partner, but once the veil is lifted, they see a whole different person. Despite his troubles, Mr. Easy found success with “Drive Me Crazy”, and it was one of the more popular singles off of the “Buy Out Riddim” when it was released. Ultimately, it became his signature single, and was later remixed by Recording Artist Kevin Lyttle in 2004, and sampled by Haitian Compas Band T-Vice in 2008.

Since the release of “Drive Me Crazy”, Mr. Easy went on to enjoy a successful career that found him scoring local and International careers. He still tours, helps to develop upcoming Artists, and still gives people good vibes when he performs “Drive Me Crazy”.

Thank You Mr. Easy For This Classic Tune!

OLDIES SUNDAY: Lady Patra – Queen Of The Pack (1993)

Posted on by swadedavillain

There are many Queens, but there is only one Queen Patra! Today she celebrates Lady Patra’s birthday, and we honour her on Oldies Sunday by highlighting her classic “Queen Of The Pack” single!

Produced by Clifton “Specialist” Dillon and Tony “CD” Kelly and released through Epic Records in 1993, “Queen Of The Pack” was Patra’s way of promoting female empowerment as she showed that she can stand on her own, is strong, smart, and beautiful, and she runs things! Patra had no problems standing out in a male dominated Dancehall scene, and it paid off for her. “Queen Of The Pack” was one of Patra’s most memorable singles, and was featured on her 1993 debut album of the same name. It was later remixed by Producer Salaam Remi, and covered by Dancehall Artist Destiny Sparta in 2016.

Since “Queen Of The Pack”, Patra went on to release more singles, took some time off from music to complete her degree in History & Political Science, returned with more music, and flexed her entrepreneurial muscle with her Chateau 7 restaurant in Kingston. You can shuffle the deck all you want, but the “Queen Of The Pack” will always be on top! Big up Patra, and Happy Birthday!
