OLDIES SUNDAY: The Visionaires – Marcus Garvey (1982)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Yesterday (August 17) was celebrated as the birthday of the late Rt. Excellent Marcus Mosiah Garvey. The Pan-Africanist was Jamaica’s first National Hero, and inspired many Civil Rights Activists, Rastafarians, The Nation Of Islam, and Black Power Movements. His teachings and influence continues to connect with many generations, but on “Oldies Sunday“, we look back at one of his tributes. Today’s selection comes from the Roots Reggae Band, The Visionaires and their track, “Marcus Garvey“.

Produced by Austin Hutson and released through the Orthodox Label in 1982, The Visonaires shared the importance of the Rt. Excellent Marcus Garvey in “Marcus Garvey”. The track champions for the philosophical works of Garvey to be taught in the schools, and encourage more people to learn about him and become more conscious of themselves. The band also speaks on Garvey’s prophecies that have come to pass, and call out those who try to eradicate his name and works from the public. “Marcus Garvey” was featured on the band’s only album, “To Have A Home“, which was featured in 1982, and gained popularity locally and Internationally. Not much information is out there about The Visionaires, but the band consisted of Audley Watson, Basil Gayle, and Winston Dudney. “Marcus Garvey” is still played today, especially during Marcus Garvey celebrations.

Thank You The Visionaires For This Classic!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Dancehall Artist Shawn Storm is enjoying freedom, and is back to the music like he never left. Shortly after his release from Prison, he released the track, “No Blood” which has been receiving positive feedback ever since, and has been hailed as an example of loyalty. Speaking of “Loyalty“, he emphasizes that in his new Visualizer.

Produced by Kwashawna Records on the “Super Hero Riddim” and originally released in 2019, Shawn Storm emphasizes his stance on “Loyalty”. As mentioned by Vybz Kartel, Shawn has been by his side through the various trials over the past decade and change, and has not betrayed him. In a world where it doesn’t take much for people to be disloyal in relationships, friendships, and partnerships, more should be like Shawn Storm. The R4Robin-directed Visualizer finds Shawn standing firm in his statements throughout, and gives more life the previously-released single. Here’s to the Deejay being more consistent with the Music, and get back on track with his life outside of the Studio.

.@FousheeLive Samples Prince Buster’s “Ghost Dance” For Her “war” Single

Posted on by swadedavillain

New Jersey-based Recording Artist Fousheé recently announced her upcoming sophomore album, “Pointy Heights“. Dedicated to the St. Catherine community of Pointy Heights and her Jamaican background, Fousheé looks to deliver some of her best music yet while tapping in some sounds from the Caribbean. The sound is evident in her newest single, “war“.

Fousheé handles the production on her new single, “war”, as she speaks on the need for peace and harmony as she has had times where there were conflicts in her life. She makes note that there is power in the tongue, and she is having the kind of peace where she’ll even pray for her opps. Her vocals emphasize the peace that many of us need, but the production taps into a sound that may perk some ears. “war” features a sample of the late Ska Pioneer Prince Buster’s 1967 track, “Ghost Dance“. The self-produced track features Buster having a conversation with a friend who is no longer among the living through the writing of a letter, and sending well wishes to others who have passed away. The track also features backing vocals from a young Lee “Scratch” Perry (ah, duppies...), and was featured on the 1967 album, “Judge Dread“.

Fousheé looks to bring a new vibe to the world when she releases her “Pointy Heights” album on September 13, through RCA Records.

When it comes to the ladies, it’s all about the beauty, the style, the fashion, and the presence that can set the mood. When it comes to the ladies in the dance, Japanese Deejay Hibikilla has his focus on them every time. He talks about it in his new single, “Batty Rider“.

Hibikilla handles the production on the new “Batty Rider” single, and he enlists Brazilian Recording Artist Arcanjo Ras, and Brazilian DJ ED as they share how they feel about the Women who know how to catch the eye with their clothing. Taking on a style reminiscent of the ‘90s Dancehall era, we get a track that aims to shake up the scene when played, gets the ladies feeling their best, and creating a vibe that won’t die down. For those unfamiliar, a “batty rider” is a pair of shorts that are extra short. Some would call them “daisy dukes” while others say “pum pum shorts“, and they are sure to attract a lot of attention. Something new to check out.
