Posted on by swadedavillain

For some, weed smoking only happens on April 20 a.k.a. “420“, but for others, it happens everyday! Upcoming Artist Afyah is about that life as she delivers a love song for the herbs with her debut single, “Everyday“! Produced by Escaban, Afyah gives us her own blend of “Weed & B” as she professes her love for “Mary Jane“. Her delivery is perfect for those who have just gathered their freshly rolled spliffs, and want to just hop on board a Ganja flight. This one is not for the joker smokers, it’s time to get lifted!

Rhiya Luna Believes In Destiny On “Really Like You”!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Ever had feelings for someone else, but you know you couldn’t shoot the shot because they’re involved with someone? In a world where “Tek people man/woman” songs are celebrated and having side partners are welcomed, Recording Artist Rhiya Luna holds back on her new single, “Really Like You“! Produced by HighLife Music Entertainment, Rhiya shares her belief in having a soulmate and destiny placing them in the same space, but she can’t approach him just yet because he’s in a relationship. In the meantime she says she’ll be on standby for when things go left and take her chance at him.

Rhiya Luna has been staying busy as she has made appearances at the Reggae At The Mill event series in Massachusetts, and will be performing on Reggae Artist Etana’s “Reggae Forever” tour stop in Surfside Salisbury Beach on May 26! More music on the way too. Check out the track below, and share with a friend. Show us some love/follow us on Twitter and Instagram at @13thStreetPromo.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Lil Vicious – Nika (1994)

Posted on by swadedavillain

In recognition of May being “Child’s Month“, Oldies Sunday will be highlighting a few child stars who made some noise in music. Today’s first selection comes from Brooklyn born Rapper/Dancehall Artist Lil Vicious with his 1994 hit, “Nika“! Produced by DJ Clark Kent and released through Epic Street/Sony Records, we find Vicious giving us bars about his new love interest, Nika, and rocking the crowd throughout the song. With lyrics about Marriage, dating, and even having kids, teenage Vicious was ahead of his time with his grown up bars then. He doesn’t understand why his parents love her though. “Nika” was featured on the Rapper’s debut album, “Destination Brooklyn“.

“Nika” was a hit for the Artist as it peaked at #9 on the Billboard Hot Rap singles chart, and #69 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song also featured samples of US Music group The Isley Brothers’ “Between The Sheets“, Rapper Big Daddy Kane’s “Somethin’ Funky“, and an interpolation of Dancehall Artist Beenie Man’s “World Dance“. Since the release of “Nika”, Vicious kept rapping despite not gaining another hit, and even got mentioned on the late Notorious B.I.G.’s “You’re Nobody (‘Till Somebody Kills You)“.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Frighty & Colonel Mite – Life (Is What You Make It) (1988)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Enjoying your Easter weekend? How about a throwback? Today’s Oldies Sunday selection comes from the duo of Recording Artists Frighty and Colonel Mite. Going back to the year 1988, we check out “Life (Is What You Make It)“! Produced and released by Y&D (with releases through Mogul Records and Profile Records in 1989), the duo expressed their desire to give the ladies that “Raggamuffin Love“, and gave us that feel good vibes throughout the song. The single was very popular since its release in the UK and Jamaica, and even made its way onto the US Billboard Charts in the early ’90s.

Since the single’s release, Frighty and Colonel Mite went on to produce more music together and as solo Artists with Colonel’s last being in the early 2000s, while Frighty’s was in 2016. “Life (Is What You Make It)” is still being played to this day.

.@KxngIzem Gets Socially Conscious On “Pity”!

Posted on by swadedavillain

With all the craziness that affect our world on a daily basis, we really need to encourage more positive living and put out good energy out there. Recording Artist Kxng Izem (formerly Dmitri Izem) prays for good times with family and friends on “Pity“. With the single produced by Ten24 Music, Izem shares his observations of violence in his homeland, people studying evil, betrayal amongst friends and family, and folks portraying a clean character but are really terrible people on the inside. The video, which was directed by Vartex Studio and Lucid Production, finds friends getting together for a game of Dominoes, but ends on a tragic note where one was gunned down after a disagreement with another.

This is also Kxng Izem’s first outing since changing his name. When asked why the change, he explained that “Dmitri Izem” spoke towards a suppressed history in which we were once proud black African Kings that had our names replaced. The change to “Kxng Izem” pays tribute to the fallen ancestors and reclaim that black royal heritage.
