One An’ Ready! Top Banks & XKappe Release “Taxi Man”

Posted on by swadedavillain

When it comes to traveling in Jamaica, you can take public transportation, or get something private. Most residents go for public transportation in the form of taxis and buses for various reasons, and the atmosphere there is enough for many comedy and drama productions. From hilarious interactions, to hearing colourful language, the life of a public transport operator is one filled with hustle and determination. If you haven’t been driven by a Jamaican Taxi Man, Dancehall Artists Top Banks and XKappe give you an idea in, “Taxi Man“.

Released through Steel Chest Records/Bigz Milli Records/White Life Records, Top Banks and XKappe take over Jidenna’s “Classic Man” Instrumental to share the day to day runnings of a “Taxi Man”. The everyday hustle to get passengers is no easy feat, but when done right, it is rewarding to earn that honest bread. This isn’t without any funny moments and drama, and the Deejays deliver a track that takes our minds off of the daily stress. Banks and XKappe always make for a great collaboration, and “Taxi Man” is bound to be another favourite. The Mandeville-based Artists continue to expand their bases, with Banks looking to take his talents to Canada this month for a number of events. XKappe is still doing numbers with his releases, and his live performances continue to find fans reciting every line. Make space in the vehicle for this one, wi ready fi di road!

Yaksta Declares “The Microphone Saved Me” With New Album

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recording Artist Yaksta is a living example of perseverance. Having started his career from humble beginnings in the 2010s, he has been making every year better than the previous one. The late 2010s/early 2020s gave him a number of high profile moments, and he has not slowed down. The past few months found him in some controversy, but he always had the music to focus on. With a new album ready for the world, he’s defending creativity, and ensuring that his lane fosters more success. He steps out with, “The Microphone Saved Me“.

Featuring 11 tracks on the digital version while physical copies boast 12-15 tracks on his official website, Yaksta is unapologetically himself with the album, “The Microphone Saved Me”. The title is a testament as life could have been very different had he not chosen to put his lyrics over production. His lyrics are raw and direct as they dabble into topics from relationships, to everyday life, to his societal observsations, and if you have heard the previously-released album cuts, he doesn’t hold back. Production on “TMSM” includes the likes of Track Starr, Princeton Brown, Kingsway Music Group, David Luckain, Kabaka Pyramid, and Troyton Rami, while Silk Boss, Lone Don, and Dre Tegs make up for guest features. The work never stopped for Yaksta, he just focused on becoming better. Thankful for that Microphone.

Nelly Cottoy Needs Her “Licka”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Kicking old habits are not the easiest of things to do, sometimes the willpower is not strong enough. Those familiar sensations will have a hold on you, and you’ll be caught up in that rapture. Even the “Queen Of Zess” Nelly Cottoy is trying to kick some habits, but in the late night, she is in need of her “Licka“.

Produced by Bing Bang Studioz/Studio Impact on the “Rose Riddim“, Nelly Cottoy folds under pressure all for the love of “Licka”. When you’re trying to go cold turkey and swear off things, sometimes it takes bad timing to get caught up all over again. This Woman however, misses her “liqs” and “licks“. With a flashy music video co-directed with MarDonn, Nelly thought life was getting better, but it was only a matter of time before she was called back in, and reunite with her supplier. Nelly Cottoy is pretty busy this time of year, and with a Caribbean Music Awards nomination on deck along with live show dates, expect to hear even more from her this summer.

Tower Band Steps Out With The “Dancehall Future” Mixtape

Posted on by swadedavillain

For every Artist, there is a Band. The Backing Band makes a great musical experience when it comes to the live show. Having been a part of the support team for many Artists over the years, the Tower Band have paid their dues, and have done plenty to elevate their game. Consisting of Kryss Ras, Corey Coombs, and Prof, the Band officially ventured into becoming Recording Artists little over 3 years ago. With a number of singles to their name, the Band believes it’s time to take the next step. Recently, they premiered their debut Mixtape, “Dancehall Future“.

Mixed/hosted by ZJ West, the Tower Band is ready to dominate with their “Dancehall Future Mixtape“. Consisting of 16 tracks, listeners will get familiar with the Band’s growing catalogue, and witness even more of what Jamaican music has to offer. From party songs, to girl tunes, to motivational music, Tower Band hopes this project puts them on the necessary heights, and show the world their range of talents. As a part of the mixtape’s promotion, the Band is currently on an Islandwide tour, with a couple spots already embracing the sound they have provided. Jamaica is filled with talented folk, and the Tower Band continues to put their talent to work as a part of the new generation, even when they’re supporting other acts.
