[In respect to the 17th anniversary of Biggie Smalls’ passing, my Oldies Sunday selection features a song he sampled on his first album.]
Today’s Oldies Sunday selection comes from Deejay Pan Head. Titled “Gunman Tune” with production by Lloyd “John John” James Jr. on the “Soap Riddim” and distribution by Father & Son Records in 1991, we hear Pan Head paying tribute to all the gun men in Jamaica while showing disrespect to informants (or snitches). He also speaks on the different communities that the gunmen reside in, the types of weaponry they have in their artillery, how they use them and the type of friends gunmen and informants should have.

Tonight on Onstage, Konshens and Masicka were featured to discuss a few things. Here Konshens spoke about his Konz876 shoe line and its progress so far, his collaboration with Sean Paul and performing it overseas including on the Arsenio Hall Show, and signing Masicka to his Subkonshus label and future projects. Masicka also reintroduced himself to the world, connecting with Konshens, creating a buzz lately with new music, wanting to be a bigger force in Dancehall music, and upcoming performances and projects. Masicka also performed a new single on set. Good interview, both artists have been creating a great buzz in their respective lanes and coming together it will be greater. Check out the interview below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
Today’s new video comes from the combination of Etana and Jo Mersa Marley. Titled “Thy Will Be Done” we hear Etana and Jo Mersa dropping message music and speaking on the issues affecting Jamaica and its people. In the video Etana’s part is shot in different communities highlighting the youth and the adults that reside there and also scenes of her performing at an event while we see Jo Mersa delivering his part in the studio. A great combination here as the “Strong One” and the 2nd generation Marley deliver conscious music that will reach the ears of many. Great shots of the various communities and the people that reside there. Check out the video below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
Dropping some hotness and energy today is the D-I-V-A Tifa! Titled “Body Up” and produced by Di Genius, we hear Tifa deejaying about how sexy she is, how she drives the men crazy, and other girls should just fall back and appreciate since they can’t be her. I love the energy off this one and Di Genius’ production compliments it well. Her body is “Up deh” and the volume for this track shall be “Up deh” as well. I hope I get the chance to interview her soon. Check out the track below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
