Certified Fire: Gentleman and Shaggy Say “Warn Dem!”

Every once in a while we get hit with a song that is certified fire.  The song is so fire-istic that even thinking about playing the song means turning off the smoke detectors in the house because you know the chune is going to catch a fire!  
Gentleman & Shaggy Performing "Warn Dem" at MTV

The chune I'm talking about is from Gentleman and Shaggy called "Warn Dem!" 

Taken from Gentleman’s album MTV Unplugged on the VP Records label, the chune “Warn Dem” featuring Shaggy is composed to be an anthem, with Gentleman going hard in the paint with these lyrics:  “We tell the youths dem to be the first and never come last / get your life in order before you start floss / don’t be the employee when you can be the boss / memba grandma say you fih stick to the task / if you nuh know where you’re going then you might get lost / so many rivers which one you have to cross / you better think twice don’t you move too fast….”

K-A-B-O-O-M!

Looking at the lyrics in this message, you may not be too impressed, but add the larger than life synthesized horn section, ringing alarm and roll of the African drum and I’m telling you, you will pull up this chune so many times, your entire radio show will be in honor of this warning!

Catch the chunes at the YouTube link below, and please, whatever you do, don’t sleep, pause, hesitate or even blink on this.  Add it to your playlist today and keep it on repeat.  This chune is a must!

Make sure you Tweet Gentleman and Shaggy >>> @gentlemanmusic | @DiRealShaggy

Shaggy, Super Cat & Maxi Priest Make it a Night Flight!

Traveling as much as you do, you know that daytime travel is hectic; families with crying children want to get to their destination faster (and sometimes to the annoyance of fellow travelers), people talking on their phone at volumes that are offensive, and, airport staff are irritable because they have to deal with stressed out passengers which combined makes daytime travel hard, until you take a “Night Flight!”

Evening travel means less traffic, a relaxed experience, and most times going to an exotic destination with your honey according to Shaggy, Maxi Priest and Super Cat!

Super Cat Sing-Jays:  “I say the Dada have to leave her pon a late flight / a late flight / pon a late flight / fih go ram dih Reggae music Dancehall til it ram tight / ram tight / till it ram tight / and mih movin like a jack and mih tell yuh inna dih dark night / dih dark night / inna dih dark night / sippin on some Chardonay ….”

This HOTTT new Lover’s Rock chune is set at 90 BPM and has a groove that you can’t help but sway to as you look your lover in the eye while drinking wine.  Produced by Sting International Productions, and with contributions from Sly & Robbie and Lenky Marsden, this is a definite must add to your playlist, but only if you’re a Lover!

P.S.  This song is track 17 on Shaggy’s album Out of Many One Music XL Edition which has been nominated for the 2015 Grammy for Best Reggae Album.  Make sure you buy the track on iTunes

Details About the 2015 Grammy Nominees for Reggae Album of the Year!

Reggae and Dancehall are the two most enjoyed genres in the world, and today, the Grammy committee has announced the Nominees for Best Reggae Recording, 2015.

The nominees are:

Ziggy Marley – Fly Rasta

Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry – Back At the Controls

Sean Paul – Full Frequency

Shaggy – Out of Many One Music

Sly & Robbie and Spicy Chocolate – The Reggae Power

SOJA – Amid The Noise and the Haste

Ziggy Marley still uses the standard set by his Father, Bob Marley, when it comes to producing good music, Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry is not afraid to be himself which comes through in the unique music he makes.  Sean Paul understands the power of a single frequency, not to mention what happens to the masses when they get full frequency (he chose the right title for his album).

Shaggy single handedly brought nations of people together, and the true intentions of his heart were revealed when this album was made.  Not only is he the hardest working man in our business, he is one of the hardest working in music and entertainment, and always creates opportunities for others.  Tessanne is just ONE of many.

Sly & Robbie never cease to amaze with their work ethic and work habits.  They operate as if they have nothing and the project they are working on (currently) means everything to them.  In other words, despite the many Grammy’s they’ve won in the past, despite the amount of world tours they’ve been on, they act as if all of it is happening again, but for the first time.  This is so humbling.

SOJA are the newest kids on the Reggae block!  They are well known on the West Coast of the US, but they are from Arlington, VA, just across the Potomac River.   The amount of their fans is equivalent to the amount of grains of sand found on a beach in Montego Bay … they have a lot!

Good luck to all the nominees!
