Chip Off The Old Block: Meet The New Kids Of Dancehall x Reggae (Pt. 5)

Posted on by swadedavillain

First they started out as the youth of the Dancehall/Reggae culture, now they’re parents with growing kids. It isn’t unusual for the child of an Entertainer to follow in their parent’s footsteps one way or the other as at times they bring a modern take on their parent’s creations, or create their own lane. Some of the most famous off springs include Stephen, Ziggy, and Damian “Junior Gong” Marley (Sons of Bob Marley), Chino and Di Genius (Sons of Freddie McGregor), Junior Tucker (Son of Jimmy Tucker), Morgan Heritage (Children of Denroy Morgan), Tarrus Riley (Son of Jimmy Riley), Queen Ifrica (Daughter of Derrick Morgan), Protoje (Son of Lorna Bennett), Chronixx (Son of Chronicle) and many more. In part 5 of a few part series, I feature more of the new set of kids on the scene whose parents have covered much ground in their respective careers.

iNi Kamoze, Boomdraw, BoomdrawofFizix, Listen Me Tic, Listen Me Tic Remix, Yared Lee

NEW MUSIC: @iNi_Kamoze – Listen Me Tic (@BoomDrawOfFizix RMX)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today I present to you a classic from the “Lyrical Gangsta” iNi Kamoze a.k.a the originator of the “Woiyoi“, with a modern twist from a mad Scientist named Yared Lee a.k.a Boomdraw. Remixing iNi’s 1995 “Listen Me Tic“, Boomdraw experimented with new samples and scratches over a dark Production. If you’re a fan of the original then you’ll love this and If iNi was looking to reissue his “Lyrical Gangsta” album, he should consider throwing this remix in there along with the Soso Def remix with Da Brat. Stay tuned for more from Boomdraw as well as he aims to hold your ears hostage every time he drops new production. Check out the track below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

Peppa Ceed, 13thStreetPromotions, ZazaPR

PRESS RELEASE: @PeppaCeed4Real’s Ready To Party!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Jamaican-born, NY-based recording artiste and restaurateur Peppa Ceed is preparing to take to local airwaves with his latest single “Party Time”. Released in mid-December, the Singjay said the single, which featured Dancehall artiste Gully Bop has been making rounds in the clubs in New York. “I am hoping to have similar or even better luck here in Jamaica. That would be a plus for my career as Jamaicans are the hardest music lovers to place so when they embrace your work, you know you are doing a good thing,” he said. “Party Time” was produced by Peppa Ceed’s Hot Peppa Records.

Peppa Ceed, whose given name is Garvin Hussey, spent his earlier years in Golden Spring, St Andrew. His introduction to music came when he began singing back-up for some of his friends at a community studio. “In those days you had to rehearse sometimes for months to get it right,” he said. Peppa then migrated to New York after completing his Secondary Education at Mount James All-Age School. While living in America life still proved to be a struggle for him which prevented him from continuing to pursue music as a career. He then diverted his attention to operating a West Indian-style restaurant “Peppa Ceed Jerk Chicken Restaurant” in New York. In 2014, he released the single “Lebron James” which he said is still being played in small clubs in the Tri-state area. This was followed by “Whine Fi The Peppa” in 2015.

NEW VIDEO: @ItsJahmiel – Where Were You x Great Man

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recording Artist Jahmiel has been very consistent with the tunes in recent times. With hits under his belt, he’s working his way to becoming the MVP for 2016. Today, he premiered his visual for the “Where Were You / Great Man“. Directed by Mamaz Boiz Films, this visual comes in the form of a short film featuring Jahmiel, his friends, and of course a “Bad mind Producer“. From a scenario where he was rejected by said Producer to performing on Onstage to being interviewed, Jahmiel visually tells his story of his rise to stardom. A good concept here and this is only the sample of the greatness that’s to come from Jahmiel. Look out for his upcoming project with Quantanium Records. For now, check out the video below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
