Posted on by swadedavillain

What started as an activity among friends, quickly became a viral moment for Gotti OG, and OG Mini with the creation of the “Doukie Bounce“. The new dance has found its way to being a hit among regular party patrons, and one of the names that helped further its popularity is Selector Brush 1 Chromatic. To further promote it, Brush 1 teamed up with the “Sauce Boss” Kemar Highcon, and Recording Artist Kacique for the dance’s official song last year. Tonight, fans of the song can now get an official viral video!

Directed by Panda Studios, viewers who haven’t been familiar with the dance, can now catch up. With various familiar faces making cameo appearances, we can tell they all had a lot of fun putting together this video. Where will the Doukie Bounce pop up next? Only time will tell.

.@JKinggz_ & @Laughta1 Don’t Need “No Fake Love” In New Video!

Posted on by swadedavillain

2019 saw Recording Artist JKinggz being very busy, and 2020 won’t see any change to that. With singles and projects out, he continues with the video for the new single, “No Fake Love“! Directed by the team of E.A.D., Polar Films, and RDCYF, both single and video features an appearance by prominent UK Recording Artist Laughta who fires off with her blend of Hip Hop and UK Grime throughout. The Ace Bankz produced track finds them making it clear that they have no time for fake people and the love they claim to have, being all about positive energy, and moving forward to achieving greatness and all that comes with that.

The St. Vincent and The Grenadines born/Brooklyn based JKinggz has a lot more in store for the year as he is currently working on more singles, and projects including the follow up to his “No Co-Sign” EP. He is also hitting the road to promote “No Fake Love” and more in the coming days. We encourage everyone to stay far from the fakers, as their negative energy and “love” will be your downfall.

Hopeton Lewis & U Roy - Tom Drunk 13thStreetPromotions.com

OLDIES SUNDAY: Hopeton Lewis & U-Roy – Tom Drunk (1971)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today’s Oldies Sunday selection comes from the duo of Jamaican Icons Hopeton Lewis and U-Roy. We get to hear the classic, “Tom Drunk“! Produced by Duke Reid and featuring Tommy McCook & The Supersonics, this was released in 1971 through the Treasure Isle Label. The track features the duo calling out a lying and cheating person who thinks their ways will always be beneficial to them. They also warn that there are consequences for those actions, and they throw in a few proverbs throughout like “Tom drunk, but Tom nuh fool“, and “Play fool to catch wise“. The song turned out to be a hit for the Artists, and its wicked production becomes infectious after every listen. The song was featured on U Roy’s 1978 album, “Jah Son Of Africa“.

Over the years, “Tom Drunk” has been covered by The Specials, its Instrumental has been featured on fellow legendary Artist Stranger Cole’s “Crying Every Night” track, and it has been sampled by Hip Hop Artists Talib Kweli, Hi-Tek, Mos Def, and Mr. Man on the classic, “Fortified Live“. U-Roy is still active in the music as he continues to perform his classics worldwide, while Hopeton Lewis made more hits until his passing in September 2014.

THANK YOU Hopeton Lewis & U-Roy for this classic!

OLDIES SUNDAY: @SteelPulse – Steppin’ Out (1984)

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s Grammy season! With Reggae Artists like Koffee, Julian Marley, Sly & Robbie, Steel Pulse, and Third World in the running to cop one this year, we felt the need to highlight one of the unique moments in the Reggae category on Oldies Sunday. The aforementioned Steel Pulse Band is up with their 1984 classic, “Steppin’ Out“! Produced by Steel Pulse, Jimmy “Senyah” Haynes, and Del Newman, the track was featured on their 5th studio album, “Earth Crisis“. “Steppin’ Out” is also one of the first Reggae singles to be nominated for a Grammy award. The other single to be nominated was Jimmy Cliff’s “Reggae Night“. The Grammy eventually went to Black Uhuru in 1985 for their “Anthem” album.

With its energetic production, the single became a favourite for many listeners. Since its release, it has been sampled by the likes of Hip Hop Artists Rakim, Bun B, Blac Monks, Society, and EDM Artist Miguel Migs. It has also been covered by Alborosie, and remixed by Producer Steve Thompson, and the late legendary DJ Screw (you can hear the screwed & chopped version below).

Who’s your pick for the Reggae Grammy come January 26? Check out the classic below, and share with a friend. Show us some love/follow us on Twitter and Instagram at @13thStreetPromo.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Flourgon – We Run Things (1988)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Happy New Year! Today’s Oldies Sunday selection shows love to an Artist who was determined to succeed, despite the odds that were thrown at him. Today’s selection comes from Recording Artist Flourgon with his hit, “We Run Things“! Released through Redman International in 1988, this was produced by Hugh “Redman” James, and finds the Deejay proclaiming that he rules in everything that he does. From music to relationships, Flourgon will not cower to anyone.

A song that was considered one of the biggest hits of 1988, Flourgon lived his lyrics when in March 2018 he filed a US$300 Million Lawsuit against US Pop Artist Miley Cyrus for using lyrics from the track in her 2013 single, “We Can’t Stop“. Despite many doubting the Lawsuit and Flourgon, the case ended in a settlement in favour of Flourgon just days ago. While the amount is undisclosed, it marks a victory and is a sign for other Artists to seek justice for their own situations.
