Yaksta Claps Back With “Rumors”

Posted on by swadedavillain

When Recording Artist Yaksta speaks, you’re either going to listen, or get mad. With a sizable catalogue, he’s sure to have detractors along with the fans. Recently, he came under fire for lyrics supporting Scammers, and the rise of Trap/Chop Dancehall. With singles like “The Return” and “Who Fi Tap Eh“, many have been sharing their displeasure. Yaksta keeps it pushing, but had to speak his mind on, “Rumors“.

Produced by Ikeed for Deki Records and Lone Don, Yaksta has a few words for his detractors in, “Rumors”. Channeling his inner Gregory Isaacs, he’s just a Don in the juggling. He directs a few words to fellow Recording Artist/Social Media Commentator Shalam a.k.a. IceKoolio, who attacked him on Social Media, and questioned his Rastafarian faith. While there may be a few spats to follow, you can’t help but appreciate Yaksta’s delivery here. Will this be a back and forth? Let’s see what happens.

Yaksta Gets Controversial, But “Who Fi Tap Eh”?

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recording Artist Yaksta isn’t a fly-by-night Artist. For years he has been putting in the work, has had hits, but also recognized the losses. In a scene where you can be hot today and out of the spotlight tomorrow, he maintains his creativity and presence, even when the odds are against him. His content can get controversial, but “Who Fi Tap Eh“?

Produced by DJ Mac/Crash Dummy on the “Money Walk Riddim“, Yaksta calls up the hustlers on, “Who Fi Tap Eh”. He speaks on the current landscape, with talks of Lottery Scamming, he encourages those in that world to get to the money. While many have attacked him for his stance, he speaks on the Government not doing their job in not making people resort to scamming, calls out those who have the wealth who are not using their resources to help people. At the end of the day, life isn’t great for many, so some will do what they have to do to get out of poverty. Call him what you may, but Yaksta says what many are scared to say in public. The system is messed up, bang and blv.

Yaksta & Silk Boss Call Out The Government In “For Sale”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Sale out, sale out! They say there’s an Island for sale and lease to the highest bidders. The topic of Jamaica no longer being for the natives and more for Investors all over the world is brought up often. We are losing our resources, we are losing our identity, we are losing our home! Recording Artist Yaksta has been noticing things when it comes to our Country, and he’s not pleased. He takes the podium in, “For Sale“.

Produced by Abroad Records/Marlon Easy/Bush Music and featuring Silk Boss, Yaksta calls out the Government in, “For Sale”. Every day we see something going on in Jamaica where foreigners and Investors are capturing our land and resources, driving many of us out of homes, and places of importance. We’re also feeling the effects of higher costs of living, and restrictions on things that would make life here easier. These actions are not our doing, but are being orchestrated by those in power. Yaksta and Silk share their disapproval on the track, and take it to the screen in a Lagikz Supreme-directed music video. “For Sale” is featured on “The Microphone Saved Me“, and fans have been requesting for this one to get the music video treatment. “For Sale, For Sale” they say. What’s next?

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.

Yaksta Says “It’s Okay” As “TMSM” Album Makes Official Launch

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s a big week for Recording Artist Yaksta. This week he’s giving fans an exclusive listen of his new album, “The Microphone Saved Me (TMSM)“, as it will make its way officially to the streams soon. His name has been brought up in a few conversations over the past few weeks, while his music continues to be heard locally, and internationally. Ahead of the album, he gives us another piece from the project called, “It’s Okay“.

With a music video directed by Jxsse Jxmes and shot in New York, Yaksta takes on the streets in “It’s Okay”. Hopping on a Citi Bike, he strolls through the neighborhoods as he shares encouraging words, and keeps on thugging this crazy world. The upbeat production contrasts the aggressive production he has been on recently, but it continues to show his diversity in sound, and further enhances his songwriting skills. “The Microphone Saved Me” will be available for streaming soon, but if you want to be ahead of the pack, you can order the digital or physical versions of the album via his official website. Depending on your order, you may receive extra benefits that streaming won’t give you. The Bush Music sound continues to pump into the streets.
