Posted on by swadedavillain

Remember seeing those travel commercials inviting you to come to the Caribbean? How about those about coming to Jamaica? Yes the Island is a home away from home, and is indeed a paradise, but have you ever taken a look into how the residents are living outside the Hotels and Resorts that you’re used to? Well, Recording Artist Chris Malachi wants to give you a first hand look into life inside  “Paradise” on “Everything Cool“!

Produced by Koastal Kings, Chris Malachi’s “Everything Cool” is far from all that “Tropical” vibes foreigners speak of. You are in for a surprise if you thought this was a party song. While Tourists can get fat and lazy on the white sand beaches with a few Red Stripes in the cooler, Chris sheds a light on what Jamaicans are going through daily. Chris’ delivery is great as always on “Everything Cool”, and this is an important song that puts the island and the leaders under a microscope. From rising crime, to classism, to the Government failing the people, to a bad economy, the single and video will wake up many, and a change needs to happen.

Accompanying the single is a music video directed by Chris and Maya Wilkinson that was so beautifully presented, that even the Jamaica Tourist Board would blush. The video isn’t without a great cast which include Shernette Higgins, Koastal Kings, Bernard Hasenbichler, O’Neil Dacres, and the legendary Owen “Blakka” Ellis. Chris Malachi cleverly promoted the single through a series of Tourism related content that was reminiscent of the “Kool Runnings” and “Come Back To Jamaica” eras, and he has a lot more in store in the coming days. Who is gonna fight for us?

Sia’s “Cheap Thrills” Featuring @DuttyPaul Gets Featured In @Marvel’s “Black Widow” Film!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recently, Marvel Studios released their long awaited Film, “Black Widow“. The movie finds the Comic Book heroine going through some quests between the “Captain America: Civil War“, and the “Avengers: Infinity Wars” Films. Directed by Cate Shortland, the Film has a terrific score thanks to Lorne Balfe, but one of the highlights in the Film came in the form of the inclusion of Pop Artist Sia and Dancehall Artist Sean Paul’s “Cheap Thrills“.

Produced by Greg Kurstin, the Synthpop/Dancehall track was released in 2016, and was the second single on Sia’s “This Is Acting” album. The song was originally made without Sean Paul and was shopped to Rihanna for her album “Anti”, but was rejected. The Sean Paul featured version peaked at #1 on the US Hot 100 Billboard Charts, and was certified multiplatinum. “Cheap Thrills” was played in the scene before Black Widow encounters one of the Film’s antagonists, “Taskmaster“. “Black Widow” is available for streaming on the Disney+ platform.

2021 found Kxng Izem giving his all, and amplifying his hustle with the release of new music via the “Wildfire EP“. Since its release, it has been receiving quite a lot of praise and streams worldwide, and Izem’s continuing to apply pressure with content in support of the EP. Previously stated that will shoot a visual for every track on the EP, he completes that mission with the video for “Uno“.

Directed by Jus Hugh Production, “Uno” is the much anticipated collaboration between Kxng Izem and Royal Blu, and they bring the best out of each other over the Ten24 Music production. The video features some dope editing, and the chemistry between Izem and Blu is put on full display. Kxng Izem is back to making more music behind the scenes, but for now, we get to see that when he steps out, he does it in a big way.

.@RyginKingO Covers The Classic “Stop That Train” With The Late U-Roy!

Posted on by swadedavillain

In February 2021, the world lost a Music legend, and a Jamaican Icon named Ewart “U-Roy” Beckford. A man who has greatly contributed to the ever changing musical landscape, you can call him the Originator of how you put the lyrics together. While the world misses him, there were talks about putting together a final album for the great U-Roy. It was revealed with the title, “Solid Gold U-Roy“, and one of the singles that made the album features one of Dancehall’s hottest acts, Rygin King on a cover of the classic single, “Stop That Train“.

Produced by Sharna Liguz, Youth, and Zak Starkey, we see two Artists from two great generations join forces to give us something different. The single covers the 1967 version of the Keith & Tex Rocksteady version of “Stop That Train”. The 1967 version is cover/remake of The Spanishtonians’ 1965 Ska original that speaks of a woman whose boyfriend is leaving her via train, and she wants to join him on board. U-Roy also released a cover version in 2009/10. Both Keith & Tex and U-Roy & Rygin’s versions speak from a man’s perspective however. While many are familiar with Rygin King’s style of music, they’d be surprised to know what he enjoys in his downtime, and seeing this collaboration is just a fraction of what can happen. With the late U-Roy’s signature toasting/deejaying, this an “OG meets the Young General” moment, and we know the posthumous U-Roy album has a lot more gems. This could pave the way for a lot more collaborations like this, and we’re here for it! Call us up so we can be a part of it. For more U-Roy, check out our special U-Roy Playlist here. “Solid Gold U-Roy” is now available for pre-order through Trojan Records, and will be released on July 16, 2021. Continue sleeping in peace, Daddy U-Roy!

Rising Recording Artist 450 is steadily making his way up to becoming a prominent fixture in Jamaica’s music scene. In a short space of time, he has managed to release singles that have quickly gained popularity, and praise from some of the big names in music. With hard hitting lyrics and great charisma and energy, 2021 may end with him being placed high on a few lists. With his new single, “Imperfections”, he may be connecting with the people in a whole different way.

Produced by Week.day of Tru Ambassador Entertainment, 450 shows vulnerability on “Imperfections” by sharing some of the wrongs he has committed in his life. Despite these actions coming back to affect him negatively, he admits he’s not perfect, and he’s remorseful on all that he has done to hurt those close to him. Since the song’s release on June 7, it has been quickly embraced by the public for its very relatable content, scored thousands of plays across various music streaming platforms, and has received endorsements by the likes of Irie FM’s DJ Bryan, Footballer/Producer Kyle Butler, Dancehall Artiste Dovey Magnum, Tru Ambassador Entertainment boss Jahvy Ambassador, and many others. 

Accompanying the “Imperfections” single is a music video shot by Damaniac Visualz and directed by Jahvy Ambassador (Tru Ambassador Entertainment), and it finds 450 secluded to the hills to be one with his thoughts, looking back at the bad choices he’s made in life, and contemplating ending it all. Since the video’s release, it earned a place in the “Trending” section on Youtube, and is currently peaking at #8 in the “Music” section for Jamaica amassing over 300,000 views. 450 plans to extend the global reach for “Imperfections” in the coming weeks, and is working on a follow up single.
