HOTTT New Dancehall Freestyle from Sting 2012! Busy Signal – Mystery History!

Sting 2012 was stung by Busy Signal in front of a home audience and international audience who was baited by every syllable put together to form every lyric.  In a word, Busy was outstanding! 

Dressed in a suit of white, the Dancehall DJ took to the stage just after 4:00am, his first song being “Nah Go Ah Jail,” from there, we went off, and the audience went off too.  Busy could not be stopped. 

Delivering what all critics agree to be the performance of the night, Busy styled those who needed to be styled and he did it with lyrics we haven’t heard before.  He did it with a true Freestyle and guess what the artist and Management asked me to share with you today (even though I’m supposed to be on Christmas holidays!)?!  Yes, the Freestyle. 

Here’s a quick pree of a few syllables and please note, the chune begins with the sound of a plane flying:  informer call mih name / jah know dih bwoy dem sell me out / B-U-S-Y ah so dih bwoy spell me out / deh pon ah flight from Amsterdam / dih bwoy corral me out / inna dih immigration line me hear dih bwoy dem yell me out / say mih nah go ah jail again still dih bwoy dem jail me out / so mih link wid KD Knight fih see if he can bail me out ….” 

The brilliance of the words is that Busy told all his fans last night exactly what happened direct.  No host asking questions, no words to read, just Busy holding a reasoning directly with his fans.  Musical Murdah!  Read Busy's exclusive interview at www.L3Magazine.com!

The ILLIONNaires – Good Girl + Not Around Remix!

Looking at the name The ILLIONNaires, figuring out who they are and what they represent won’t be so easy.  As soon as you hear their music, not only will you be moving (head bob at minimum), you’ll be singing along to their punch line “I think I gotta good girl….” 

Based in the UK, the duo, are best described as fusion where R&B / Pop meets a pinch of Dance with a dose of Caribbean flavor.  They are producers and song writers as well as vocalists which gives them a unique perspective on music, and a unique performance.  Unique in this case is good!  

The first single I received from them is called “Good Girl,” which, if you believe music starts with the bass line, is definitely the song for you!  The sugary bass determines the pulse of the song and gives off a visual effect of a couple enjoying each other’s company on a rainy day.  One thing leads to another, and another, and another…! 

Appreciating good music as much as you do, you’re going to appreciate this song from the UK’s ILLIONNaires! 

Click on the link to hear “Good Girl” by the ILLIONNaires, and as a bonus, listen to their remix of Noel Gourdin’s “Not Around!”

HOTTT New Dancehall! Collie Buddz – Live Life!

Holiday celebrations are in full swing, and I’m rolling with Collie Buddz and his newest single “Live Life!”  Matter of fact, not just for the Holidays, I’m going to take Collie’s advice and celebrate everyday like it’s my Birthday!  Ha! 

The new single from the artist saw his fans rush to his YouTube channel to get a preview of the party song designed for those who don’t want stress, but just want to party with good people every day! 

Produced and distributed on the artists own Harper Digital label, the track is simple, allowing Collie’s voice to be heard clearly as he sings “hey oh / mih wallet fat and mih waan spend money oh / me ah party like ah champion until day oh / me nah leave dih club and mih nuh care weh dem ah say oh / all wine 6:30 baby get low / and me ah love it when you bubble it, bubble it, bubble it pon me / just bring yuh friend come let’s double it pon me….” 

What’s more, Collie cleverly weaves the melody of a very popular 70’s disco classic into the last verse of the song making it a must play to the end!  Par-tay!  The chune is radio / mixtape and party ready and has received the stamp of approval from all Collie Buddz fans around the world! 

by the way, the song is available on iTunes >>> http://bitly.com/Tt7vZb!

HOTTT New Reggae! Tarrus Riley – Gimme Likkle One Drop!

I’m excited and my excitement is due to one person … Tarrus Riley a.k.a. Singy Singy!  Teaming with Chimey Records, the seasoned Reggae artist gives his fan a brand new chune that will have them skaning and rocking for years to come.  The chune is called “Gimme Likkle One Drop!”   

Performed on the Tropical Escape Riddim, Tarrus represents everything that we love about Reggae music beginning with the DJ whom he asks to ‘set the mood’ so the people can hold a different energy!  Wait … Tarrus goes on to sing “I’m loving how the music sounds / yuh see dih women and dem we ah pree / hey Chimney / gimme likkle one drop / mek dih bass line roll and cotch / and mih love how dih riddim juss ah chap / me and mih women ah rock….”  Musical Murdah! 

Combine the lyrics and performance (yes, if you listen carefully you’ll hear Tarrus ‘performing’ this chune, not just recording it) with an incredible riddim that is more than just a riddim, it’s a journey!   

Musically, Chimney selects the right key and fuses the bass line and riddim guitar seamlessly which makes us move in unison.  What’s especially sweet is that non Reggae listeners who hear this chune for the first time will want more.  Great news for Reggae music!

HOTTT New Anthem! Busy Signal – God Mih Seh!

There will never be another artist from this generation as remarkable as Busy Signal.  The artist’s ability to capture energy and release it through song is something we have not seen from others, and I don’t think we will see.  Today’s release is another example of the artists’ brilliance. 

As you can imagine, jail is not nice.  It is a place where people are locked without hope and without support.  It is a place that is difficult to find a light.  Busy understands that which is why his new song “God Mih Seh” is such an exceptional chune. 

Let me begin with the musical composition.  Using the sound of the ‘death bell,’ and the hum of an ominous choir, Busy’s own label, Turf Muzik and Riff Raff lay a foundation of foreboding.  The instrumentation is something for a horror movie … but this is Busy Signal we’re talking about! 

Lyrically, Busy contrasts the darkness of the music by using his voice as a weapon of light.  This is what he says:  “God mih seh / mih nuh work fih satan / bun the enemy / slew dih pagan / Busy mih deya fih please dih nation / mih nuh mix up wid no evil nor no demon / we nah join dem congrega – shun / we nuh owe nuh bwoy no oblige-shun / mih couldn’t wait fih dih damn plane land / freedom worth more than gold and diamond ….”  

In other words, Busy could have been sucked into thoughts of evil and darkness, but instead chooses the path he has always chosen … the light.  Salute! 

To truly get the full hundred, to truly get the full influence of this chune, request this chune the next time you go out to a Dancehall event.  Every lighter that burns is a salute to Busy, and a salute to all who choose the light over darkness. 

P.S.  Tweet with Team Busy and let him know what you think of the chune >>>

HOTTT New Dancehall! Alty B – Wine Up Yuh Body {Tech Sweedz Riddim}

Dancehall artist Alty B has struck certified Gold with his newest release called “Wine Up Yuh Body” on the Tech Sweedz Riddim produced by Smokey from Smoke Shop Productions! 

To Alty B, there is nothing more appealing in the club than when you see a woman wine up her body, so with that thought process, the artist put his thoughts into song! 

Performed to a riddim that is Dancehall with a lot of Techno, Alty rides the beat effortlessly as he DJ’s “love dih way you ah wine on dih sum’n / every man inna dih club waan say sum’n / look pon dih way you ah bubble / body double my girl yuh ah trouble / my girl me waan jump in yuh middle / yuh nah soft and mih fit like a fiddle / this ah no rhyme mih nuh tink seh a riddle / can dash out yuh middle / wine up yuh body gyal….”  Murdah! 

Smokey, once again showing off his compositional dexterity, gives listeners a riddim that is so modern day classic, it can be used as a techno beat alone, or as a Dancehall beat.  As a matter of fact, what makes the riddim Dancehall are the performances of the artists who all happen to be Dancehall DJ’s.  If you’re going from one genre to another (Dancehall to Techno), this riddim / chune is for you!

HOTTT New Reggae! Lindo P – Contraversy - Smoke Shop Production!

One of the first artists in the Reggae and Dancehall genre, from Canada, to have the international market calling his name is Lindo P!  The artists lyrical composition, combined with his lyrical delivery, has made him one of the most sought after which still remains up to today! 

Reggae and Dancehall fans in Canada and around the world are now reacting to Lindo P teaming with Smokey of Smoke Shop Productions, and the reaction is positive with most calling it – Musical Murdah! 

We heard Lindo P ‘Dancehall settings’ style on the chune “Exercise” from the Thump It riddim (produced by Smoke Shop Productions and distributed by Zojak), now today we hear Lindo P ‘Reggae settings’ style with the chune “Contraversy!” 

The title of the song is exactly the way the artist wants it spelled, and, Lindo brings ample controversy to the chune beginning with his intro which is a skit of Babylon badding up the artist wanting info on ‘which part dih weed deh!’  Lindo goes on to deliver these lyrics:  “dem seh / ‘yuh know Sizzla’ / me say ‘no Dadda’ / me nuh know Bounty Killer / Me nuh know Spragga / Me nuh know Jagga B / and me nuh know Zagga / never hear say Chronicle ah walk wid more dagga / yuh nuh know Capleton / me only know more Fiyah / yuh know Buju Banton / mih send him more prayer / if yuh looking for a snitch yuh need to check Papi / cause him sell out Shawn Storm and Kartel him Daddy ….”  Musical Murdah – and it gets better from there.  Woi! 

The riddim track is a re-lick of a classic 90’s chune from Lady Junie (now goes by the name Junie Platinum) which gives radio programmers, Club DJ’s and mixtape specialists lots of room to move from old school to new school and vice versa.  I’m telling you, the chune is straight Murdah!

Sunday Settings! Faze ft. Kaylie Sea – The Vibes Am Feeling!

Since the 90’s, we haven’t really seen duets be the focus in music.  Men are doing their thing, women are doing their thing and not too many artists are thinking of working together, until we come to Faze Fizzle from Toronto! 

Faze works well with the ladies and today, he introduced us to his newest project which features Kaylie Sea.  The chune “The Vibe Am Feeling,” is sweet Lover’s Rock which is a great combination of the grit of Faze’s voice, and the silk of Kaylie’s.  To summarize, this is beauty and the beast on wax! 

Musically, this co-production between Faze (Faze Fizzle Productions) and Smoke Shop Productions is reminiscent of Lover’s Rock from the UK.  Deep bass designed for a hard core rub-a-dub session will result in hip to hip activity for Lover’s locked up in their rooms.  For Lover’s at a party, once the blue light goes on, and this chune drops, the wallpaper is coming off the walls!  Murdah! 

How does Kaylie answer when Faze Sing-Jays “well all night ah lovin / with half an hour intermission / make your body pay the dues like tuition / girl / smooth / starting and now ah time fih conclusion / yuh fih enjoy yuhself based on facial expression….”  Kaboom!

Dancehall Settings! Michie Mee – Bad Gyal Bubble {Smoke Shop Productions}

 

Ok so it’s Friday and it’s time to get ready for club settings and tonight, Michie ‘Badgyal’ Mee’s got your back, and she’s got it hard! 

Taking centre stage, Canada’s undisputed Queen absolutely destroys the Madd Rass Riddim produced by Smokey of Smoke Shop Productions.  She destroys the riddim so badly, new meaning is given to the expression ‘gangsta rass!’ 

Luring you in with the title of the chune “Bad Gyal Bubble,” Michie flips the script as the first line of the chune the Queen says ‘mih nah (beep) up dih intro mih juss waan talk it real.’  From there, the badgyal lets loose a plethora of lyrics aimed at taking out her foes who has underrated her.  The brilliance is based on the title, you would think the chune is another ‘I can bubble and wine – watch me’ type of chune and this is far, I repeat FAR from that! 

Michie goes so hard, a Dubplate is a must as the chune will kill any sound caught in its cross hairs (bulls eye).  Musically, Smoke Shop Productions does the strength of the lyrics justice as the riddim goes just as hard.   

Using heavy bass and 808’s, Smokey (Smoke Shop Productions) uses these instruments to literally hammer home the point Michie is making.  Murdah!  Adding to that, synthesized riffs by a clarinet and flute are the only mercy or ‘lightness’ the listener experiences.  Murdah again!  Did I mention the riddim has a nice throwback Dancehall vibe to it?!  This straight heat for the street. 

Riddim up!  The Queen goes hard as (shut yo mouth) on this track…!

Grammy Watch! Throwback Thursday – Jimmy Cliff – The Harder They Come!

Jimmy Cliff is a global beacon; an example of humility fueled by determination, and role model who set his mark on a goal, and didn’t stop until he achieved it.  To Jimmy Cliff we owe the highest musical honor.

At the age of 14 he knew that he wanted to write songs and sing.  He convinced Leslie Kong to go into the recording business, and Kong’s first venture was with Cliff as a young artist.  The first two releases were not a success, but, the third was being “King of Kings!”  

Giving us subsequent hit records was great, but not the focus of Cliff.  Instead he was focused on writing great songs; songs with meaning, songs with impact and songs that would make a difference.  He achieved that goal and hasn’t stopped achieving! 

Former Prime Minister Edward Seaga recently released Reggae Golden Jubilee – Origins of Jamaican Music – 50^th Anniversary which is a comprehensive, 4-Disc set that spans 50 years of Reggae music.  The set (released on the VP Records label) is comprised of 100 songs, and includes the music of one artist who helped write the history of Jamaica through music – Mr. Jimmy Cliff! 

Last night The Grammy’s released the 5 nominees for Best Reggae Album 2013, and the first name announced was Jimmy Cliff for his album Rebirth!  Currently on tour with the Dave Matthews Band (and will be performing at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto tomorrow – December 7^th, 2012), news of his nomination had the Reggae icon beaming with pride.

Tha Vor Gives Them ‘What They Want!’

Without dispute, Tha Vor is one of my favourite artists because this dude has swag locked.  No, I’m not one of ‘those’ chicks who wants a dude dressed in brand this, or brand that pushing a whip on Asanti wheels and rims.  Instead, I’m a chick who’s turned on by the lyrics an artist throws to me in hopes I can catch.  I’m a catcher! 

So Tha Vor has released the video for “What They Want” which is a Reggae infused Hip Hop track that is a juxtaposition between the spiritual (good overcoming evil) and the physical (relations with a young lady); and the concept works! 

Peep the video, and vibe to these lyrics:  “yo Joe / my voice taking the world ova / yo dude / I thought I was just here to kill cobras / got heavy rollers / mic / army of angels on my shoulda / caught up in the star wars / I rip the force like Yoda / but soddering ah weh dih young gyal want / getting hysterical / ain’t even flipped that / green / already she calling me incredible / flow / on point ….” 

 

P.S.  Big up Smoke Shop Productions on the beat which is dirty, rude, lacks manners and has no behavior.  In other words … it’s our kind of music!  J

 

 

Kirsten Olivia Confronts "Mr. Opinionated!"

Her voice is clear, strong and the elephant in the room that you can’t ignore!  She is Kirsten Olivia and today she’s performing a song called “Mr. Opinionated!”  Combining elements of Jazz, R&B, Blues and a dash of Rock n Roll, Kirsten’s voice carries like the New York Philharmonic performing at The Lincoln Centre – not a note, riff, oh or ah is missed!  

In her performance, Kirsten addresses the naysayers by saying outright “don’t try to break me, you’re not my teacher,” and while this is being sung, the hammer of the bass drum is the only instrument to be heard as if to replicate the action of a fist being pounded.  Oh yes, Kirsten has our attention! 

Her brilliance continues with runs that are mild, yet warning the ‘haters’ as if to say ‘this is the ONE time imma talk to you about this ish – back off!’  She is beating down doors and breaking down barriers with every note she sings.  Kirstens voice, and the musical production work to the point that, she is an artist you want to see perform live. 

Check out the music of this musical angel sent to earth to deliver her message at the SoundCloud link below – one more thing, please Google Kirsten.  Her rendition of John Legend’s “Ordinary People” is off the chain! 

P.S.  Shout out to Yogi Da Producer from Studio 9 for sending me Kirstens music!

◄◄◄ Throwback Thursday! The Princess Gone ‘Rollin’ with Adrenalin!

The vibes are turned up (((LOUD))) in the studio right now, as I hold a reasoning with Roland McDermott of Born Rollin Productions! 

Some have heard the name because of the recent promotion of Iba Mahr.  Others know the name because of the amount of work Rollin has done with several artists.  Others still know the name because they want to know why the Princess Gone ‘rollin!’ 

The year was 2000 when Roland produced the riddim Adrenalin Rush (“Wine and Roses” by Anthony B, “When” by Junior Kelly featuring Igena and “Princess Gone” by Jah Mason).  The riddim, recorded live at Tuff Gong Studio’s in Kingston, featured the musicianship of Leroy ‘Horsemouth’ Wallace on Drums, Rohan Garden on Riddim Guitar, Strickland Stone (Dubtonic Kru) on Bass, Mikey Fletcher on Acoustic Guitar, Obeah on Keyboards as well as Christopher Birch on Keyboards.  The riddim was mixed by Shane C. Brown!  That was the beginning of history!  

Of the riddim Rollin says “I feel great about the success of the riddim and the Jah Mason song Princess Gone.  It didn’t hit in Jamaica at first, it actually hit in Barbados and Trinidad and overseas.  Within Jamaica, Irie FM was giving the riddim a lot of love.  Jocks like Ron Mushcette, Mighty Mike, Elise Kelly and Sunshine were playing it and giving it strength!” 

Of the single Princess Gone Rollin says “I had given the riddim to Jah Mason from before so he could vibes to the riddim.  It was a Sunday when he came to the studio to record.  As Sandy Davis said ‘red light,’ Jah Mason began to record, and the whole song, everything you hear, was recorded in one take and it was done on reel to reel – analog, not digital.  As soon as Jah Mason finished recording, he looked at us and said, that is a hit song.” 

That my friend was Roland McDermott’s first riddim he ever produced and the hits keep coming! 

Today, we throw it back with Roland McDermott and the chune “Princess Gone” performed by Jah Mason, taken from the album The Saga Bed produced by Roland!

 



Richie Spice – Soothing Sounds: Acoustic

Sometimes the best way to experience Reggae music, not Dancehall, but Reggae, is via a live stage show with a band.  Depending on where you live, or even economic situation, that may not be possible.  Richie Spice offers the perfect solution.

Just released is his album Soothing Sounds:  Acoustic which hears some of his most famous songs set to a canvass of the acoustic sound – minimal instruments and most importantly, without electronic touch.

The 15 track disk features songs like “True Love,” “Free” (which I’ve been playing on my radio show for the past month), and “Searching.”  The highlight of “Searching” is the drumming which accentuates the urgency of the heartbeat.  Absolutely brilliant!

In addition to the ‘acoustics’ accentuating the sound, Spice reminds us that he is one of us and understands the struggles that we face as he faces them too.  The gist is we are all in this together.  When the background singer sings “whoa” on the song “Hang On In Deh,” it’s a cry on our behalf – the people who are suffering.

On the flip side, songs like “My Girl” bring out the lover in Spice and his listeners too.  This is the kind of song makes couples snuggle up closer, rock and sway and be thankful they have one another.  This track is definitely another favourite.  Spicing up (pun intended) the love offering is track 10 called ‘All Night” in which Spice uses a Banjo for effect.  Musical Murdah!

For some reason, we the listener, connect with Spice’s voice, and don’t have the interference of multiple instruments – our ears are opened and hearts receptive to the much needed messages and the actionable encouragement.

P.S.  Track 15 is a surprise, and one you will Love!

If you want your own private concert with Richie Spice as the featured artist, this album is for you!  Get it here:

Vybz Kartel and Teetimus on UFO MEDZ!

Established in his own right, Teetimus da producer is well known amongst music circles for his cutting edge sound and avante garde ear for matching artists with multi-genre sounds.  Teetimus’s newest project is no exception to this standard as he’s the first producer to make Vybz Kartel ‘pop!’ 

Merging Pop with Techno and a splash of electronic, Teetimus (as the producer) lays the musical groundwork for Vybz Kartel to deliver one of his most well received cross-over performances in the song called “U.F.O. MEDZ” which features the Dancehall King and Teetimus the Rockstar.  

Recently released to the worlds’ most prominent DJ’s, initial feedback to the song exceeded the teams expectations.  “We knew the DJ’s were going to like the track” said Teetimus from his recording studio in New York, “but we didn’t expect it to be so well received by the Pop and Techno audience.  Vybz Kartel did a great job with the track – he really is dih teacha!” 

For Vybz Kartel, shying away from a track so forward thinking for the Pop genre was not an option.  The artist recorded his vocals in Jamaica prior to incarceration and expressed that the Pop / Electronica sound will allow him to gain fans of a wider background.  “Teetimus approached me with this track and the result is great.  I stayed true to Dancehall while working with a new genre.  Fans are going to appreciate it.” 

Already available on iTunes, the track has gained a lot of traction with sites such as Chromaticmag.com, Spotlightnow.com and Yardhype.com.  The preview, available on YouTube, is one of the most searched, marking another sign that the single is on deck to being a hit. 

No stranger to success, Teetimus the Rockstar earned several accolades as the co-producer of Damian ‘Jr. Gong’ Marley’s 2012 hit song “Affairs of the Heart,” Trey Songz “Ladies Gone Wild” and Mr. Vegas “Bruk It Dung,” and is in negotiations to produce a track for a very prominent and Grammy award winning female rapper.

Throwback Thursday - Alamo Is Ya Wit Me?!

If you were to Google DJ Alamo, you wouldn’t find much by way of information about him.  You’ll find ample reference to Brand Nubian and Grand Puba, and you’ll find reference to the fact that he is Sadat X’s cousin.  Apart from that, there isn’t much else to find, so I had to turn to the music! 

Alamo, according to his micro blogging page Twitter ( @alamoworldcom ) is still active in the game as a producer.  We also know that he’s a huge New York Knicks fan, he drinks Hennessey, eats Rice-a-Roni and is mean with Instagram:  http://instagram.com/alamoworld/ ! 

One of the most famous songs recorded by Grand Puba is “What Goes Around,” and one of the most famous lines from the song is ‘Alamo is yuh wit me?,’ and yes, he is.  What we learn from that song, and movements following the song, is DJ Alamo is one of the most loyal people in the game.  He could have left Puba when Brand Nubian split, but he didn’t, he chose to stay. 

Always with Vinyl in hand, Alamo is an incredible producer, banging out such classics as 1995’s “Playin the Game” from the album 2000 as well as the song “Don’t Waste My Time.” 

For today’s Throwback Thursday, I’m kickin it old school style with Grand Puba and DJ Alamo and the song 360 Degrees (What Goes Around)! 

P.S.  This blog gets filed under the header, I always wondered what happened to (fill in your blank here)!  Peace and Bless and Happy Thanksgiving for those who celebrate!
