Roze Don Hops On A Classic Sound For “BAM BAM”

Posted on by swadedavillain

It wouldn’t have been Summer if Dancehall Artist Roze Don didn’t make a contribution. The Deejay has managed to stay consistent with the music, and fans anticipate every release. This time around, he’s getting the ladies ready to bubble in, “Bam Bam“.

Produced by Bugzy2Flashy for 2 Flashy Records/Dark Disciple Records, Roze Don wants all the ladies to get on bad in, “Bam Bam”. The track taps into a familiar sound, which is the classic “Bam Bam” by the legendary “Riddim Twins” Sly & Robbie. “Bam Bam” gave us hits like “Murder She Wrote” by Chaka Demus & Pliers, “Dem A Bleach” by Nardo Ranks, and was sampled by many over the years (Check out our “Sampling Sly & Robbie” Playlist). Roze Don does the Riddim justice by providing a song that will have the ladies dropping the shyness, and showing off how that booty bounces on the dance floor. The track is accompanied by a Music Video directed by Banka for Bankroller Visuals, and features an appearance by Video Vixen Zho. Summer caan done just yet, tune in to some new Roze Don.

.@DZLRecords Shares Starr Dane’s Final Single, “Wha Gwaan”

Posted on by swadedavillain

On July 2, the Jamaican music scene received news of the passing of Dancehall Artist, Starr Dane. The Deejay was on the rise showing great promise with his releases over the years, but his life was tragically taken in Los Angeles, California. A member of the Dale Virgo-founded DZL Records, he shared his skillset with many Artists, and always promoted positivity in his conversations. In order to preserve his memory, it is encouraged for listeners to get familiar with his previously-released work, and now his latest single, “Wha Gwaan“.

Produced by Dale Virgo, “Wha Gwaan” is Starr Dane’s final recorded track. The track delves into some Social Commentary as Dane questions the Island’s rising crime rate, the corruption, the deception by those in power, and the imbalance in the way of life for the citizens. Dane asks the right questions here, and the track looks to inspire others to ask the same questions, with more action into getting the answers and fixing things. The late Deejay’s final entry should not go by the wayside, and should encourage positive change for not only Jamaica, but for the rest of the world where the issues also reside. Sleep well, Starr Dane.

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!

Shawn Storm Is The Definition Of “Loyalty”

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.
