Salute to Spragga Benz - Top Shottas Anthem

In honour of a great artist and a living legend, recording artist and producer Xyclone took to the studio and voiced an amazing tribute to one of Jamaica’s best, Spragga Benz, who is also became world-renowned for his acting debut in the hit Jamaican movie Shottas.

The track is called “Top Shottas Anthem” on the Top Shottas Riddim and features former Gaza Empire member, Deva Bratt. It is on the new RSQTHP label, in collaboration with Black Out Squad and 3^rd Floor Productions. It was released in September 2012.

Xyclone looks up to Spragga for his lyrical versatility and talent to not only perform on stage but also to act in movies. “In my opinion, Spragga a di real Top Shotta so that’s why we [RSQTHP] built the riddim and named it Top Shottas Riddim,” said Xyclone. He also made it a point to mention that Spragga is a mentor to him as well as other young artists and ghetto youths. 

Already “Top Shottas Anthem” has gone over 8,000 views on YouTube. Also, with an impressive 20,000 plus views, Stylo G’s hit “Bolt” is another tribute to another living legend, Jamaican track superstar Usain Bolt, which has skyrocketed Top Shottas Riddim to an overwhelming anticipation for the release of the compilation. There are other popular artists who have jumped on board like D’Angel, Red Rat, Magazeen, Bawse Dawg, Delly Ranx, Esco, Ninja Kid, Ratigan and Brik Tears.

The video was shot recently on location in Portmore, Jamaica in January at the start of 2013. It was released on February 12, 2013 to rave reviews with over 8,000 views on YouTube in only 3 days! Xyclone is definitely on the path to major success and shows no signs of slowing down.

Livication Splash

A true celebration of Life!  Spragga Benz's Livication Splash takes place on November 12th at the West Indian Social Club in Connecticut.  This year we honor the Life of Spragga's son, Carlyle.  View the flyer below and make sure you're there!

Jadakiss - I Octane - Spragga Benz - Konshens...

On Friday, July 15 I-Octane along with Jadakiss will be sharing the stage at Club Amazura in New York.

I-Octane who is no stranger to the tri-state area will be representing dancehall reggae while Jadakiss will provide the hip hop mix.

Presented by I-Octane and Destine Media in association with Calico Music, Group C and Raygon Entertainment, the event will also see performances from artistes such as Spragga Benz Konshens, Munga, Frisco Kid, Richie Loop, Chi Ching Ching, Baby Chris, Kranium as well as surprise special guest artistes.

I-Octane is currently enjoying a buzz on the scene with hit songs such as Lose A Friend, Study Yuh Friend ,Puff It, My Life as well as current gems such as Short Term Memory, Nah Wash, Badmind Fi Di Year, and Nuh ramp Wid Me, which currently holds the number one (1) spot on Hype Tv top 20 singles chart.  The singjay will also be performing for the first time in the tri-state area with the Ruff Kutt Band.

Hip hop artiste Jadakiss made his presence felt on the scene in a big way. He commanded immediate attention when he burst onto the scene with the group LOX.

Music lovers couldn't help themselves! There had never been a hip-hip group in history who revolutionized the sound of hip-hop music as fast as they did.  Jadakiss, the LOX's front man, has now gone solo and has kept up the momentum with hits such as Knock Yourself Out, Keep Yah Head Up, You Make Me Wanna, Can't Stop Me and Who's Real.

"It will definitely be the best of both worlds at Club Amazura," said I-Octane about his and Jadakiss' upcoming performances.

If the buzz on the streets of New York is anything to go by then late ticket buyers might find that they missed the boat!

Providing music for the event will be Massive B and Bankey Hype among others, while emcee duties will be shared by DJ Roy, Nikki Z and Irie FM’s Big A.

 

►►► Throwback Thursday ►►► It's a Bruk Mystery!

Greetings!

 

Western movies played a pivotal role in Dancehall

music in the early days.  With influences such as

Clint Eastwood's 'Fist Full of Dollars,' James Stewarts

'Bandelero,' and 'How The West Was Won' starring

John Ford, it's not surprising that some of the early

veterans in Dancehall performed chunes with these

movie titles, or named themselves after characters

in the movies.

 

With this in mind, gun culture was also a focus in

music as it was a reflection of power and status. 

When Dancehall speaks of a 'top shotta,' they speak

of bad man / gangsta.  Sometimes a chune might

refer to 'murdering' a person, not because they will

actually kill the individual, but merely to say 'I will

exercise my power if you test me.'  For example,

Ninjaman's infamous "murdah dem, murdah dem,

in a competition we gwaan murdah dem!"  Another

example would be "I'm in the mood to kill a sound...."

The artist is not saying he's literally going to kill.

 

Today's throwback riddim is one that was most popular

in 1998 (I can't believe it's that old!), and was  produced

by Dave Kelly, one of the most respected producers

in modern Dancehall.  The riddim is also a reflection

of Dancehall culture at that time.

 

This 1998 hit riddim,  had performances by T.O.K.,

Bounty Killer, Spragga Benz, Baby Cham and

more.  Cham's performance was one of the most popular,

and caused many to sing the punchline, including people

who don't swear (hint)!  Some would argue that the

lyrics in the chunes to this riddim are violent, but

others would say they are a reflection of the culture

at the time.  Both are right.  What do you say?!

 

Broadcasting at 320kbps, and keeping in mind all

that was mentioned above, catch the mystery riddim

Throwback Thursday Mystery!
