.@RyginKingO Covers The Classic “Stop That Train” With The Late U-Roy!

Posted on by swadedavillain

In February 2021, the world lost a Music legend, and a Jamaican Icon named Ewart “U-Roy” Beckford. A man who has greatly contributed to the ever changing musical landscape, you can call him the Originator of how you put the lyrics together. While the world misses him, there were talks about putting together a final album for the great U-Roy. It was revealed with the title, “Solid Gold U-Roy“, and one of the singles that made the album features one of Dancehall’s hottest acts, Rygin King on a cover of the classic single, “Stop That Train“.

Produced by Sharna Liguz, Youth, and Zak Starkey, we see two Artists from two great generations join forces to give us something different. The single covers the 1967 version of the Keith & Tex Rocksteady version of “Stop That Train”. The 1967 version is cover/remake of The Spanishtonians’ 1965 Ska original that speaks of a woman whose boyfriend is leaving her via train, and she wants to join him on board. U-Roy also released a cover version in 2009/10. Both Keith & Tex and U-Roy & Rygin’s versions speak from a man’s perspective however. While many are familiar with Rygin King’s style of music, they’d be surprised to know what he enjoys in his downtime, and seeing this collaboration is just a fraction of what can happen. With the late U-Roy’s signature toasting/deejaying, this an “OG meets the Young General” moment, and we know the posthumous U-Roy album has a lot more gems. This could pave the way for a lot more collaborations like this, and we’re here for it! Call us up so we can be a part of it. For more U-Roy, check out our special U-Roy Playlist here. “Solid Gold U-Roy” is now available for pre-order through Trojan Records, and will be released on July 16, 2021. Continue sleeping in peace, Daddy U-Roy!

Natural Bond Ent. Reaches For The Stars With “Comet Riddim”!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Jamaican Record Label Natural Bond Entertainment is on its 3rd gear to release a plethora of new music. While the label dominated with the “Gold Leaf”, “Mentality”, and “Porus” Riddims in 2020 and early 2021, the tank is far from empty as the label wants to continue putting out quality music, and collaborate with more upcoming and established artists. With the new “Comet Riddim”, the label seeks to connect with more music markets worldwide.

The “Comet Riddim” started its rollout in Spring 2021 with the release of Dancehall Artist Teejay’s “Young Rich”, followed by Dancehall Songstress Ikaya’s “Nude” in May 2021. Increasing the anticipation, Zimbabwean Artist Buffalo Souljah’s “Tek Off” featuring Zimbabwean Artist Poptain and Ghanian Artist Jupitar, and Dancehall Artist Navino’s “Tiptronic” round off the final releases before the complete compilation from the Riddim is available. Da Professor, Knaxx, and Deeclef are the other featured Artists on the Riddim, and Natural Bond Entertainment promises that the “Comet Riddim” will be another classic. In addition to the release of the tracks, music videos will be released in support of the “Comet Riddim”.

Posted on by swadedavillain

June may be a Wedding month for many couples, but sometimes many relationships don’t get to make it to the Altar. For today’s Oldies Sunday selection, we go back in time to check out Cornel Campbell’s track, “You’re No Good“.

Produced by Bunny “Striker” Lee for his Lee’s Label and released in 1973, Cornel Campbell uses his signature falsetto to deliver a song that speaks about heartbreak, abandonment, and lost love. Cornel calls out the person who hurt him, and let him to suffer, and he looks back at the times he was warned that she was not. good person. The hurt can be felt by the listener, people instantly connected with the song, and related to the lyrics. The song was a great addition to Campbell’s catalogue, as he recorded many hits with Bunny Lee in the 1970s. He went on to record many singles and released albums well into 2021 in the form of the reissue of his 1978 album, “Sweet Baby“. Congrats to those who got a chance to take the big step this Wedding season, much love to those who have gone through splits.

Fil Callender & Jah Stitch’s “Baby My Love” Featured In New @TylerTheCreator Album

Posted on by swadedavillain

US Rapper/Producer Tyler, The Creator may have his share of controversy over the years, but you can’t deny his talent. With a cult like following with his OddFuture collective and brand, Tyler has set himself to become a very successful person. He still manages to shock people, but a lot of times in a good way thanks to his lyricism and production, and his new album, “Call Me If You Get Lost” is no different. One stand out on the album, is a track that sampled a Reggae/Lover’s Rock hit.

On track 10 a.k.a. “Sweet/I Thought You Wanted To Dance“, the 2nd half of the track (“I Thought You Wanted To Dance“) features a sampling of the 1978 Fil Callender single, “Baby My Love“. Produced by Phil Mathias along with Callender and featuring Jah Stitch, “Baby My Love” is considered a Lover’s Rock classic. With Fil Callender’s delivery which can be said was inspired by the late American Soul Musician Curtis Mayfield paired with Jah Stitch’s deejaying, the single quickly became a hit when it was released, and a favourite for many. “Baby My Love” was featured on the soundtrack for the 5-part Steve McQueen directed series, “Small Axe” in 2020. “Baby My Love” can be heard throughout “I Thought You Wanted To Dance” along with a sample of Jamtech Foundation’s 2000 single, “Run The Track” (which we believe sampled Bounty Killa’s voice). Fil Callender was a member of the Reggae Band, The In Crowd, but went solo in the 1980s and became a born again Christian. He was awarded the Order of Distinction in 2013 by the Jamaican Government for his contribution to Jamaican Music.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Rising Recording Artist 450 is steadily making his way up to becoming a prominent fixture in Jamaica’s music scene. In a short space of time, he has managed to release singles that have quickly gained popularity, and praise from some of the big names in music. With hard hitting lyrics and great charisma and energy, 2021 may end with him being placed high on a few lists. With his new single, “Imperfections”, he may be connecting with the people in a whole different way.

Produced by Week.day of Tru Ambassador Entertainment, 450 shows vulnerability on “Imperfections” by sharing some of the wrongs he has committed in his life. Despite these actions coming back to affect him negatively, he admits he’s not perfect, and he’s remorseful on all that he has done to hurt those close to him. Since the song’s release on June 7, it has been quickly embraced by the public for its very relatable content, scored thousands of plays across various music streaming platforms, and has received endorsements by the likes of Irie FM’s DJ Bryan, Footballer/Producer Kyle Butler, Dancehall Artiste Dovey Magnum, Tru Ambassador Entertainment boss Jahvy Ambassador, and many others. 

Accompanying the “Imperfections” single is a music video shot by Damaniac Visualz and directed by Jahvy Ambassador (Tru Ambassador Entertainment), and it finds 450 secluded to the hills to be one with his thoughts, looking back at the bad choices he’s made in life, and contemplating ending it all. Since the video’s release, it earned a place in the “Trending” section on Youtube, and is currently peaking at #8 in the “Music” section for Jamaica amassing over 300,000 views. 450 plans to extend the global reach for “Imperfections” in the coming weeks, and is working on a follow up single.
