HOTTT New Dancehall ►►► Cham ft. Mavado – Love Song!

Greetings!

From the time you see Cham’s name in the subject line / headline you know 2 things:  One, you’re going to play this chune and two, you're going to request this chune from your favorite DJ!

Teaming up with Mavado, Cham re-ignites the Fighter riddim by releasing a new single called “Love Song!”  So far the feedback has been great as fans have been flocking to the single like bees to honey.  Lyrically, the chune opens with Mavado sing-jaying:  “baby ah go mek caw ah pure rain ah fall / huzzy deh ah work so ah me get dih call / turn up dih radio cause me must mek she ball / my girl love me cause ah me mek she crawl / face made fih mek up and legs made fih ....” 

Cham answers with metaphoric filled honey-fied lyrics of his own:  “she say she waan ride inna mih Benz cause dem car ah stall / she love it when me rev it cause mih gear stick nuh small / she ask if me ah giant cause mih tun up so tall / my chune badda dan dem all ….”  Oh yes!  The duo go on to sing the punch line being ‘she wants to hear my Love Song!”  Brilliant!

Musically, there isn’t too much different to the riddim’s lead single “Fighter” (featuring Damian 'Jr. Gong' Marley) and as to whether we will have more chunes on the riddim, wait and see!

In the meantime, here's your YouTube link:  

HOTTT New Dancehall and Hip Hop Crossover ►►► Cham ft. Damian ‘Jr. Gong’ Marley – Fighter!

Greetings!

 

As we journey on life’s road, we come to a point where the fighter in us must come out because if it doesn’t, we are either not going to get what we want, or we are going to be bullied.  Cham and Jr. Gong make sure that these circumstances don’t reach their fans by recording this undeniable street heat chune, “Fighter!” 

Produced by Dave Kelly for Madhouse Records, Mr. Kelly finds the right notes to get the attention of the youths by introducing the chune with an electronic sounding base and a militant drum pattern.  This is the perfect opening for Cham to state:  “we made it but we did things our way / gotta give thanks and praises each day / we hustle real hard so we control our future / tun it up ….”  These words make way for Jr. Gong as he sing-jays:  “like a beacon on the mountain / shining through like the rising sun / so shall it be for the faithful / the ones who never stop till the work is done / we grind cause the system / does not favor the common man / but he shall reap the riches / plentiful like the grains of sand….” 

Not stopping there, Cham brings home his point to the chune by DJ’ing:  “we nuh quit when we ah struggle / man ah fighter from we born / wifey haffi hot so from a hustling we gone / bruk and touch dih road / me nah come een till dawn / so when me say ‘on’ / yuh betta sen it on / screw the mutha lova’s who use we like a pawn / it’s all about the money / now ah dat we ah demand / ain’t lookin for no trouble / but ah years dat ah gwaan / so mek we tun it on….” 

The significance of these words is that they are true to Cham’s heart and career.  Going back in the pages of time, Cham tells us of producers who over looked him as an artist because his tone was nasal and not like most other artists.  Dave Kelly saw the passion in a young 16-17-18 year old Cham and worked with him, and now look at where he is today.  The “Fighter” in Cham came out, and still comes out every time he hits the recording booth and the stage.  He fought so the world can know his talent … the words he DJ’s comes from experience so this record is a special gift from Cham to fans as he says ‘I understand.’ 

There is nothing about this chune you won’t love which is why you’ll have it on repeat from the iPod to the computer to the car and all other points in between!

HOTTT New Dancehall ►►► Spragga Benz – Informer

Whether you’ve been in the business one year, or 25 years, Spragga Benz is a name you know and his music you can depend on to move the crowd.  Riddim and Spragga is like macaroni and cheese – you can’t have one without the other. 

The newest chune on the Sell Out riddim comes from our Dancehall General, Spragga.  His chune “Informer” is straight heat – hardcore – lands on the marrow.  It’s an excellent compliment to Cham’s “Sell Out.”  Explaining how police can place a wire tap a phone Mr. Benz DJ’s:  “how yuh tink nuff man get fih tap ah phone / ah informer tell dem when yuh not at home / but chatty mouth can’t step in shatta zone / caw dem get wet up and dem lucky if ah dat alone….”  Ka-Boom!   

If I didn’t know better, I would say this riddim was made for Spragga.  His voice rides this riddim perfectly and will cause you to pull up the chune several times!
