.@YvngEv Takes Inspiration From The Caribbean For New Music, Releases “Too Experienced”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Brooklyn-based Recording Artist Yvng Ev understands how important it is to know your roots. Having Jamaican parentage helped to shape a lot of things in his life, especially the music. While he taps into R&B, when there’s a dash of Island sounds in it, the world gets a product that goes far. Over the past few months, he has drawn inspiration from Dancehall and Reggae hits for a number of his own creations, and they have been catching on.

In 2025, Yvng Ev released, “Easy Gyal“. Produced by AusGod, Ev sings about getting caught up with a Woman who is hard to resist. Sampling Wayne Wonder’s “No Letting Go” from 2002, the track was featured on his “Trench Town Love” EP. The EP would also feature a sample of Vincentian Artist Kevin Lyttle’s “Turn Me On” from 2003 on “Good Sex & Ganja“. Come July 2026, returned with “Tight Up Skirt“, and as the title suggests, he sampled Red Rat’s 1997 hit single. The track would be taken down soon after due to sample clearances. Despite that, August 2026 would find him tapping into a sample of Bitty Mclean’s “Walk Away From Love” from 2004 for the single, “Don’t Love You“, and then followed up with “Too Experienced“. “Too Experienced” was co-produced with Dexter Yu, and sampled Barrington Levy’s 1990 classic single of the same name. Ev has been enjoying some Social Media love for his releases, with users requesting more. Not sticking to one style, he looks to expand his sound in the future, and with the right backing, get some sample clearances out of the way.

Elephant Man Set @BarclaysCenter On Fire At Sold-Out Event

Posted on by swadedavillain

Over the weekend (August 31), the “Energy God” Elephant Man sent a musical charge through New York as he took over the Barclays Center in Brooklyn for a performance. A headliner at the latest staging of the Reggae Fest event series, Ele gave the people what they wanted, great music, a reason to let that stress go, and an all-around good time. The Deejay shared the stage with his Daughter Haley, and patrons sang and danced along to the hits from the 2000s to recent years.

Before closing however, Elephant Man shouted out Dancehall Artist Ding Dong, as they weren’t close for a number of years, but a reunion was made moments later, that promoted an Instagram post from Ding the following morning. Backstage, Ele caught up with fellow entertainers Aidonia, Govana, Dexta Daps, and Wayne Wonder, and hilariously held a “Cologne Shootout” with Aidonia. The Deejay is currently promoting the singles, “Work Out”, “Bad Gyal”, “Dancing School”, and “Forever Dance”, and they’re out now on all digital music streaming platforms.

Fans can look forward to enjoying more from him (and celebrate his Birthday today) like the new single, “Slow It Down”.

Done in collaboration with Natural Bond Ent., Wayne Wonder delivers a new single for the ladies in “Slow It Down”. The summer release comes at a good time when many parties are in motion, and Wonder’s track will fit the mood when the DJs unleash it on patrons. Wonder still performs at a high level over smooth production, with the aim to command the scene when the ladies get to dancing. Wonder and Natural Bond look forward to the single gaining popularity in the Caribbean and the rest of the world, making for a great moment that will be added to the Singer’s legacy.

Wayne Wonder Gives Thanks In “Lift Me Up”

Posted on by swadedavillain

A lot has been going on in times. The Caribbean is currently experiencing/preparing for Hurricane Beryl, and the people are either traumatized, confused, or stressed. Despite it all, many are giving thanks, including Dancehall legend Wayne Wonder who has a lot to be grateful for. He speaks on it in, “Lift Me Up“.

Produced by Sponge Music, Wayne Wonder gives praise to Jah in “Lift Me Up”. He had his share of bad experiences, but he gives thanks for the guidance, and being able to overcome the storms as a better man. The track is accompanied by a Music Video directed by KD Visuals, and it finds Wayne connecting with nature, and some good people while showing his gratitude. Wayne Wonder has solidified his legendary status, and it’s good that he’s still making new music. With this week being an eventful one, we urge you to stay safe. Give thanks.

Jamaicans Sing @BurtBacharach Hits In Our New Playlist!

Posted on by swadedavillain

On February 8, the music world lost one of the most influential persons in Pop Music, the late Burt Bacharach. With his songwriting, production, and various compositions whether solo or done with collaborators, Bacharach has given us some of the greatest songs and sounds, helped to elevate the careers of some of the best Artists including Dionne Warwick, Tom Jones, and Dusty Springfield, and scored Films such as “Casino Royale” (a James Bond Parody), “Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid“, “Arthur“, and “A Boy Called Po“. His work has influenced many, and in our latest Playlist, we cover some of the Jamaican Artists who have covered his songs.

In the “Jamaica Sings Burt Bacharach!” Playlist, we’ve featured 18 tracks that have given hit songs from the late Burt Bacharach a Jamaican touch. From Dennis Brown, to Wayne Wonder, to Diana King, to Dobby Dobson, get yourself familiar or reacquainted with some great music that came to life by Bacharach’s genius. Jamaicans covering some of your favourite International songs always went hand in hand, and we hope to cover a few more like this in the future. Sleep well Burt Bacharach.
