OLDIES SUNDAY: Conky – Sweet Mother (1978)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today is for the Mom, Mama, Mommy, Ma, Grandma, Auntie, and Mother. It’s Mother’s Day on “Oldies Sunday“, and we send a shout out to them all. Today’s selection comes from the late Calypsonian, Mighty Conqueror a.k.a. Conky with the track, “Sweet Mother“.

Arranged by Art De Couteau, “Sweet Mother” was released in 1978 through the Jumbo Caribbean Disco label. Conky’s track was a cover of Cameroonian/Nigerian Singer Prince Nico Mbarga’s mega popular track that was released in 1976. The song speaks of a person’s gratitude towards their Mother as she has been there for them in every stage of life. Even when she’s not physically present, a Mother and her love are not forgotten in the heart of her Child. Conky’s version of “Sweet Mother” was a popular track in the Caribbean, and was highlighted yearly in some Islands including his home of Trinidad & Tobago. Celebrate your Mom today, and every day of the year.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

.@SarkAmbassador Gets Lost With A “Siren” In New Short Film

Posted on by swadedavillain

Some Women have that aurora. Some Women have that special thing about them that attracts Men to them like flies to Honey. Those Women stand out in a crowd, and they can be dangerous if not treated well. Trini Artist/Creative Sarkastik Ambassador has met a few of those Women in his lifetime, but this one is different. He shares his adventure in the new Short Film for his new single, “Siren“.

Produced by Dechode Mode, “Siren” is Sarkastik Ambassador’s new single about a Woman who whose pull is stronger than a magnet, and has him wanting to fulfill all her desires. A Woman like that will have him under her spell for life. The track was produced by  The Short Film, which was co-directed by Jerel Ramsey (Sark) and Renaldo Matamoro, continues off from Sark’s “Release Me” visual where he was seen in a Forest, finds him being drawn to a body of water, and be in awe when a beautiful Woman emerges out of it, and pulls him in. What happens next is for you to find out by watching. Sarkastik Ambassador has always looked outside of the box when it comes to his visual content, and “Siren” sets the tone for future video productions that will captivate the audience.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Papa Reu Ft. Lil Keke – Diamonds And Pearls (2000)

Posted on by swadedavillain

The Caribbean has created, and dabbled in various musical genres over the decades, and they have turned into hits, or significant moments in the culture. There used to be a demographic that frowned upon the idea of Caribbean Artists doing Hip Hop Music, but over the years it has become the norm, with hits being made from some of the releases. For today’s Oldies Sunday selection, we highlight an Artist who used his Caribbean background to be a part of Hip Hop History. Hailing from Trinidad & Tobago, his name is Papa Reu, and we look back his track, “Diamonds And Pearls“.

Released through Reu Muzik in 2000 and featuring Houston Rap legend Lil Keke, Papa Reu had the ladies in mind for his single, “Diamonds And Pearls”. With Reu’s blend of Hip Hop and Dancehall deliveries, he melodically shares that he will provide a life filled love, happiness, loyalty, and splendour for the lady who falls for him, while Keke outlines in intentions in his segment. The production samples Evelyn “Champagne” King’s 1982 hit “Love Come Down“. “Diamonds And Pearls” became a hit for Papa Reu in various parts of the U.S. including Houston, Texas where he was based, and was featured on his 2000 debut album, “Xcuse Me!“, and Lil Keke’s “From Coast To Coast” project.

Since the release of “Diamonds And Pearls”, Papa Reu became a name etched in the History of Southern Hip Hop. He released more music over the years, and with his blend of Dancehall and Hip Hop, he was featured on a number of tracks with the likes of 504 Boyz, Lil Wayne, Juvenile, 8Ball & MJG, Rick Ross, Solange Knowles, Chamillionaire, Scarface, and many more. He was also signed to the legendary Cash Money Records for a number of years. Many still remember and play “Diamonds And Pearls”.

Thank You Papa Reu For This Hit!

.@RoySimmons_ Doesn’t Want You “Fallin'” For Him

Posted on by swadedavillain

Trini Recording Artist Roy Simmons returns with something for your ears. He has been staying busy since his last release in 2022, and waiting for the right time to bring them into the light. Thankfully, he was included on the recently released “The Good Things Riddim” with the single, “Fallin’“.

Produced by Kedon Charles, Roy Simmons shares why getting caught up with him can be a bad thing in “Fallin'”. Simmons shares that while you may have a few amazing moments with him, it’s not permanent, so don’t start planning your life with him. He understands that he has an effect on the ladies, but what they’re experiencing with him is not love. He’s not taking responsibility for your misguided thoughts and actions, just keep it moving. Kedon Charles’ new Riddim also features other prominent Artists, and has been gaining a lot of attention since its release. Expect more from Roy Simmons later this year.

.@MainlyMali Protects What’s Hers In “That Boy Is Mine”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Alex Mali returns with something new for the people. She had an eventful 2023 that included the release of her debut album, “Trust The Process“, and her name being mentioned in more places. She started the year and this month with a collaboration with DJ Rose Gold, but now she’s all about some matters of the heart. She releases her new single, “That Boy Is Mine“.

Produced by ODZZ and UGYN, Alex Mali is in attack mode in “That Boy Is Mine”. When it comes to her Man, she’s not about that sharing business. She fends off the Women who think they can easily snatch him away, and she’s protecting what’s hers from the watchy watchy girls. In a society where taking another person’s partner is welcomed, and celebrated by some, Mali doesn’t have any time for that, and she will get aggressive. Follow her advice, you’re not Brandy nor Monica, so go find your own person. The new single comes just a few days after her birthday (March 21), and we can expect the red (previously green)-haired Singer to deliver even more music in the coming months. Leave har Man alone, an’ go look yuh own.
