♠ Inspired by 'The Realest Mix' ♠ Konshens "Out The Ghetto" + The Manhattans!

Greetings!


Yesterday's e-blast featured the 'Realest Mix'
by D&H featuring Konshens. Track 29 on that
mix is a chune called "Out The Ghetto" which was
my first time hearing the chune even though I'm
told it was released in 2009 - September 2009.
Yikes!



"Out The Ghetto" is the right now record, and
the anthem. In some way shape or form, we are
all trying to make it 'out the ghetto.' The term
'ghetto' is not necessarily the place where a person
lives, but is a place where a person doesn't want
to be, thus trying to 'make it out.'


To quote Konshens "we are hustlers, and a hustler
never quits, gotta go hard for the benefits, tryin'
to make it out the ghetto...."


Mr. & Mrs. DJ, if you've been rocking this chune,
ignore my banter. If you haven't, you gotta take
it in.

For listeners young, mature and in between, and
broadcasting at 320kbps, catch Konshens chune
(which I'm really late on - apologies) "Out The Ghetto"
here:

►►► 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

♠::HOTTT! Revolution Riddim::♠ Gyptian + Natural Blacks + Richie Spice + Yami Bolo + More...!

Greetings!
 
In the 1980's, there was a popular expression
that said "the Revolution will not be televised,"
which came from artist and dub poet, Gil Scott
Heron.  Today, we say the Revolution will be
played on the radio!
 
The Revolution riddim, produced by 5th
Element Records has been receiving great
reviews, and the download numbers show it!
 
Picked up by just over 600 Radio and sound
system DJ's, the riddim has received airplay
world wide, and even showed up for a few minutes
on the Hype TV top 20 countdown - not too bad!
 
The team at 5th Element are really happy with
the feedback, and have a lot of new music in store
for the masses going into this summer and beyond! 
 
Broadcasting at 320kbps, and featuring the vocals
of Gyptian, Natural Blacks, Richie Spice, Yami
