EDGE Shares Visual For, “1994”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Last week, we shared that Rapper/Athlete/Stuntman EDGE is making a return to music after a brief hiatus. While he has been venturing into other things during his break, he’s ready to make some noise, and enter new doorways in the process. Earlier, he shared the video for his new single, “1994“.

Directed by Gareth Cobran, EDGE takes us to Edgecombe, St. Ann where it all began in the video for “1994”. The video sees him connecting with his love interest, and with the herbs as he shares what makes him someone you need to tune in to over production by Justin “OooThatsJustin” Caine. If you haven’t been familiar with EDGE, you will have all of 2024 to do.

Sonya Spence’s “Let Love Flow On” Featured In “American Fiction” Film

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s awards season, and if you’re in Music or Film, chances are you’re one of the people who is a part of an award-nominated creation. One award show many look forward to is the 96th Academy Awards. One of the Films up for a few awards is “American Fiction“. “American Fiction” stars Jeffrey Wright, Tracee Ellis Ross, Issa Rae, and Sterling K. Brown, and it focuses on a Novelist/Professor named Thelonious “Monk” Ellison (Wright) who out of frustration, wrote a satirical book on stereotypical Black people, that turned out becoming a success which has good and bad outcomes. The Film was released in December 2023 in Theatres, but was made available digitally on February 6. The Film features a selection of music that was played throughout, but in an important scene, a song from Jamaica was the soundtrack.

During a Wedding scene in “American Fiction”, “Let The Love Flow On” by the late Sonya Spence was featured. Produced by Sonia Pottinger and released through High Note Records in 1981, “Let Love Flow On” was a Reggae/Funk/Soul single that got Spence’s name out there. Sonya Spence was an Artist on the rise in the 1970s and 1980s, but her career was sidelined numerous times through a number of ways (You can see our Women’s History Month write up on her and this single here). (Editor’s note: I was happy and saddened by Sonya Spence’s song’s inclusion in the Film. Many Creatives worked hard for moments like these, but some of them never made it this far because they were robbed of it. Her story is truly a sad one. May she rest in peace.)

“American Fiction” is out now on your favourite movie streaming platforms. Will it secure any of the big awards? Stay tuned.

Bakersteez x Skillibeng x Scalebaby "R U 4 God?" on 13thStreetPromotions.com #Jamaica #Dancehall #HipHop #13thStreetPromotions #Bakersteez #Skillibeng #ScaleBaby #RU4God #NowOrNever #Caribbean #ESyde

“R U 4 God?” Asks @Bakersteez, @Skillibeng & ScaleBaby On New Track

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recently, Rapper Bakersteez went through a moment that had many talking. He called out a number of prominent names in a series of Social Media rants, and discussions began where people either were concerned for his mental health or the safety of the ones mentioned, or if this was a stunt to get his name out there. Since then, his Mother came out with an apology video, and it seems like he’s in a better place now. He makes his return to the scene with, “R U 4 God?“.

Featuring Skillibeng and ScaleBaby, Bakersteez gets back to Rap on “R U 4 God?”. The Artists bring forth plenty badness on the track, letting listeners know that things can get dark when they’re around. “4 God” is one of Steez’s new monikers, and many got familiar with it during his rants. The track isn’t without a Music Video, and the Artists get together on the corner in a Now Or Never-directed clip along with Dirt Bikes, a few bad gyals, and artillery. Good to see Bakersteez back to doing what he does well, and we can expect more content in support of his latest project, “Life Liva“.

.@IAmSharonMarley & Big Youth Connect For “Steppah”

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s the weekend before the official release of the Film, “Bob Marley: One Love“, and the anticipation is high. The Iconic Bob Marley continues to be a topic around the world, with many remembering the hits and his presence, while others dabble in various discussions surrounding the Man. The Marley brand has gone up a few levels over these past few months, with some of the offsprings making strides. Recently, Julian secured a GRAMMY win for “Best Reggae Album“, and now Sharon returns to music with a new single called, “Steppah“.

Produced by Leroy Romans and Nicholas Davis, “Steppah” featured the legendary Big Youth, and was released through Gong Gyal Entertainment. Sharon Marley reminisces on a past love, and though their paths have taken different turns, she has a hope they will reunite and recapture some of that magic they had. Big Youth brings his iconic vibe to the track as he now holds the position of an OG. The video, directed by Donisha Prendergast (daughter of Sharon Marley), takes us back in time as we look at the story of young love, the separation, and the great reunion in modern day. Lots of eye-catching 70s fashion here, and paired with Sharon and Big Youth’s sounds and energy, we can expect “Steppah” to be in heavy rotation leading up to Valentine’s Day. “Steppah” is the latest single off Marley’s upcoming “Love Frequency” album, which is set for release later this year. A lil weekend love for you to tune in to.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Life has it challenges, how we handle them determines a positive or negative outcome. Overall, we just want better, and we’re in one piece through it all. Reggae Artist Jah Lil has his share of ups and downs, but he is determined to make good things happen. He is a fighter, and he looks to encourage us with the new single, “Above Water“.

Produced by Ziah Push through Habitat Studios and released through Out Deh Records/Give Thanks Music, Jah Lil provides some positive words on “Above Water”. Many of us are fighting battles, and the song comes as a cloak of strength for the trying times. Accompanying the new single, is a Music Video directed by Fernando Hevia, and it finds Jah Lil not only connecting with the water, but adding to the message that we’re just trying to stay above the craziness. Jah Lil has been on the scene for some time, but expect him to be everywhere this year. Keep your head up.

For all the TV junkies, a new show has emerged, and we know you’ll tune in. Recently, Amazon premiered their new series, “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” on their Prime Video platform. Inspired by the 2005 Film starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, the series stars Actor/Producer/Recording Artist Donald Glover a.k.a. Childish Gambino, and Actress/Writer Maya Erskine who play Assassins/Secret Agents for an organization under the cover of a married couple. The Spy Comedy/Action series has been anticipated for quite some time, its soundtrack features some great tracks. In a couple episodes of season 1, familiar music from Jamaica was featured.

In Episodes 2 and 3 of “Mr. & Mrs. Smith”, “Pearls” by the late Vocalist Alton Ellis, and “Dream Girl/Girl Of My Dreams” by Reggae Singer Cornel Campbell were played in a couple scenes respectively. “Pearls” was produced by “Sir Coxsone” Dodd for Studio One, and featured on Ellis’ 1969 “The Best Of Alton Ellis” compilation. “Dream Girl/Girl Of My Dreams” was produced by Bunny “Striker” Lee, and released through the Jackpot label in 1972. “Girl Of My Dreams” was sampled by La Fine Equipe, and by Naomi Cowan for her hit single, “Paradise Plum“. Both songs are certified classics, and made for great additions for the “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” soundtrack, which also features other songs with love themes. If you haven’t been familiar with the new series, “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” is now available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
