Tony Matterhorn’s “Dutty Wine” Sampled On @RoyWoods’ New “X” Album

Posted on by swadedavillain


Jamaica has been the topic of discussion these past few days. From celebrating her 64th Independence, to New York hosting its first Jamaica-themed day parade, to her exports making things happen in music, sports and more, Jamaica is always a vibe. Toronto Recording Artist Roy Woods knows she’s a vibe as well. Recently, he released his latest album, “X“. Released through Drake’s OVO Sound, the Singer looks to take back his spot with 10 new tracks that aim to keep the listener in a groove. Having a Caribbean background, he tapped into a sound for one of the tracks, and many of us would instantly recognize it.

On track 7 of Roy Woods’ new “X” album called “Set Fire“, Dancehall Selector/Recording Artist Tony Matterhorn’s classic single “Dutty Wine” was sampled. Produced by Di Genius, a sample of the track’s Instrumental dominates the uptempo selection along with references to the “Dutty Wine” dance and lyrics. “Dutty Wine” was produced by SupaHype on the “Smash Riddim” and released through Hyperactive Entertainment in 2006, and is Tony Matterhorn’s most successful single as it broke ground on the International market, and never left. The dance caused quite the controversy over the years, but was adopted by many, including US Recording Artist Beyonce, who performed in a number of her routines.

Roy Woods’ “X” album is out now.

.@PopcaanMusic Featured On @Drake’s “Maid Of Honour” Album

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s that time. Canada’s own Drake returns to the scene in a huge way with a trio of album releases. “Iceman“, “Maid Of Honour“, and “Habibti” serves as his return to the top spot after releasing a joint album with PartyNextDoor, and recovering from his much talked about battle with fellow Rapper, Kendrick Lamar. With 43 tracks, he has covered plenty ground, and with a few features throughout, it’s this feature on “Maid Of Honour” we focus on. He links up with an old friend here.

On Drake’s “Maid Of Honour”, Dancehall Artist Popcaan joins him on the track, “Amazing Shape“. As with previous collabs, this one is aimed at the ladies, and with the mix of Jamaica and Canada, it’s “OVO Unruly” again. Popcaan was signed to OVO Sound in 2013, and severed ties in 2023, but remains on good terms with Drake, even supporting during his battle with Kendrick Lamar. “Amazing Shape” is just one of the many tracks that ladies will be tuning in to on “Maid Of Honour”. “New Bestie“, another track on the album, features Drake speaking in Patois, and shouting out Dancehall Artist Vybz Kartel, who we thought would make an appearance. The track “BBW” features a sample of Trini Artist Denise Belfon’s classic “Put Your Back In It“. The album along with “Iceman” and “Habibti” are out now.
