Kyoka - "Hurt People" for 13thStreetPromotions.com #Jamaica #Dancehall #Kyoka

.@Kyoka_Donn Prays For Better Days On “Hurt People”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Life is filled with ups and downs, and our experiences shape how we conduct ourselves and journey through life. Some may have had beautiful moments for most of their lives, while others have experienced pain and hardships. Upcoming Artist Kyoka has experienced a lot in her lifetime, and she speaks on some of them in her debut single, “Hurt People“.

Featuring production by Zimi Ent., Kyoka gives us lyrics we can all relate to. We get hurt, especially by people we love and care about, but that hurt may linger and cause us to hurt others, and it moves on to others and creates cycles. In Kyoka’s eyes, people are fake, and are only here to use and abuse so she is very cautious of who shares her energy with. Many of us are broken one way or another, but is there a fix? May we pray for better days. Kyoka takes our thoughts and channels them well in her song, and accompanying it is a well shot music video directed by Ruption of RD Studios. Kyoka comes out strong for her debut, and we believe she’ll be around for a long time.

Koffee - West Indies for 13thStreetPromotions.com #Jamaica #Dancehall #Koffee

.@OriginalKoffee Returns To Party In The “West Indies”.

Posted on by swadedavillain

The last time we heard Recording Artist Koffee, she wanted to get into some “Lockdown” loving. Sadly, since the advent of the Covid 19 pandemic, our lives have experienced a series of lockdowns, but not of the loving kind. Some have said that the song jinxed us, but we’re still here dodging Covid, and trying to live our lives. Over a year since Koffee’s last single, she returns with her new single, “West Indies“.

Produced by iotosh, Koffee expresses her desire to enjoy her life in the great West Indies. She wants to have fun, she wants to party, and she wants to be around the people she loves. We feel the same way too, and for some of us, we have to live vicariously through those who are enjoying fully vaccinated lives without lockdowns, restrictions, and dangers thanks to the Coronavirus. Accompanying the single is a music video directed by Meji Alabi, Koffee, and JM Films that promotes family, friends, fun, and that amazing Island life. We’re treated to cameos from some very familiar faces as well, and the video has us missing all the “outside” has to offer. Koffee is back on the scene to run the place!

Posted on by swadedavillain

In 1970, the duo known as Dave Barker and Ansell Collins a.k.a. Dave & Ansell Collins released their single, “Double Barrel“. Produced by Winston Riley, the song went on to become the second Jamaican produced track to top the UK music charts. From there it went on to sell numerous records, charted in the US, and introduced the world to a young Sly Dunbar, who played drums on the record. It became a classic, and was immortalized by many Artists through the technique of sampling. Today, for our latest #13thStreetThrowback Playlist, we highlight “Double Barrel”.

Featuring 50 tracks, the “Double Barrel” Playlist highlights a few covers, and songs that sampled the 1970 hit.

Dexta Daps Has The Ladies Waiting On “I’m On My Way”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recording Artist Dexta Daps has become the Casanova of Dancehall with his selection of hits that have become panty droppers for the ladies. When he gets into his zone, the temperatures are rising, and he’s gonna make magic happen. Last year, he released the “VENT” album which had made its rounds. Just recently however, he followed it up with the Deluxe Edition featuring a collection of new tracks with appearances by Konshens, Marlon Asher, Patrice Roberts, and more. One of the new tracks is called, “I’m On My Way“, and we get a music video for it.

Directed by PhillyFlyBoy and Rahim Visram, the visual for “I’m On My Way” puts you in the seat to watch what could’ve easily been a scene from a romantic film. It may not be as steamy as the “INTRO” Short Film from a couple years ago, but you know Dexta Daps may have another one of those in his arsenal. At the end of the day, he has an incredible run, and the “VENT” album was just given new life with an extra set of new tracks.
