►►► Classic Friday! ►►► The Hottest Year!

Greetings!

 

The year 2010 has gone on record as being

one of the hottest in history.  Not since the

1980's have countries like Canada, the UK

and Europe seen such heat.  Makes one say

'it's hot this year!'

 

In 1991, Dancehall artist Dirtsman coined the

phrase 'hot this year' with the recording of his

chune of the same name.

 

Produced by Tan-Yah Records, the riddim,

artists and lyrics were hot.  The attitude of

the riddim caused patrons in the Dancehall

to want to put their hand in the air to give the

selector an immediate fawud.  Imagine the

vibes when Dirtsman comes over a well tuned

sound Dj'ing:  "Mih come hot this year / not

even water caan cool me...."  Kaboom!

 

Other artists on the riddim include General

Degree, Admiral Tibett, Papa San and Pinchers

to name a few.

♥ HOTTT New Music! ♥ Dionne Blaize - Gone Forever + Take The Lead + Bonus Download...!

Greetings!

 

Miss Dionne Blaize has just released three

new chunes that she's really excited and

eager to share with you! 

 

The first is "Gone Forever" which is a song

about a woman who didn't tell her beau how

much she loves him, then unexpectedly he

passed away.  Definitely a lyrically deep

chune.

 

Dionne's second chune, "Take The Lead"

ft. Culture Smith, is a beautiful interplay

between a man and a woman where the

woman beautifully tells her man that she's

ready to trust in him, and asks him to take

the lead!  Sweet chune!

 

Dionne's bonus chune, "Ba Mwen Les Pou

Pas" is a sweet Soca / Zouk vibe chune that's

sung in English and Creole French!

♦ Loud Disturbance Records Presents ♦ Busy Signal - Good Good Good + Gyal Need A Man!

Greetings!

 

In my best voice (lord knows I'm the lead

singer for the Tone Deafs so bear with me),

I sing:

 

Busy, Busy, Busy / can't you see / sometimes

your words just hypnotise me / and I just love

your flashy ways...!  Ha!  I jest, I joke, I laugh

but now I get serious!

 

Busy Signal's two new chunes, produced by

Mafia McKoy for Loud Disturbance Records

are called "Good Good Good," and "Gyal Need

A Man" and both are certified MADDDDly and

BADDDDly!

 

In the first chune, Busy playfully performs a

lyrical tongue twister by telling a girl about

what he thinks of her, and instead of being raw

with the lyrics, the nickname becomes 'good

good good.'  Mad!  In the second chune Busy

is a little more direct, but builds the song off

of a nursery rhyme.

 

Remember the rhyme 'farmer in the dell?!'  Add

a hand clap in the background, and a loose

interpolation of Boney M's "Rivers of Babylon"

style of driving bass, and we have the recipe for

yet another HIT record for Busy Signal, and another

notch in the belt for Mafia McKoy, founder of

Loud Disturbance Records.

"Good Good Good" and "Need A Man" produced

P.S.  Impressing fans even more, Busy recorded

a chune called "Busy Latino" for his album D.O.B

Busy captured authentic Latin vibes, and the chune

became a hit record in Latin America.  Today,

Busy released a remix of the chune which is also

available for download.

 

My statement:  Busy is the Baddest ... Period...

Greetings!

 

After working a long week, and dealing with

the stresses that come with work, there is

one thing we need ... stress relief!

 

Reggae artist Strugglas understands that,

so, built to the Shanty Town riddim, Strugglas

gives us the chune "Party We Party!"

 

Showing off a playful side, Strugglas tells us

what he goes through during the week, and

what he does on the weekend.  The HOT

lingo from the chune is 'ah party we put pon

repeat!'  Kaboom!

 

Produced for the Roaring Lion record label,

Strugglas gives DJ's a chune to add to their

Shanty Town riddim collection!

 

Fast Facts:  Since being introduced to the

CARIBANA™ ARTS GROUP (CAG) Chair Speaks to

Norman Otis Richmond

 

 

The Caribana parade and festivities have come to an end, however, planning and public education have begun for next year's 44th anniversary.

CARIBANA™ ARTS GROUP (CAG) Chair, Henry ‘King Cosmos’ Gomez, will join Norman Otis Richmond on 88.1 CKLN on the show Saturday Morning Live.  From 12 to 1p.m. on Saturday August 7th, the two will discuss community response to this year's festival and to give a perspective on the Festival Management Committee.   The CAG Chair also plans to set the record straight and educate the public on the difference between the Festival Management Committee (FMC) and CARIBANA™ ARTS GROUP (CAG), formerly the Caribbean Cultural Committee – CCC, who are the owner of the CARIBANA™ Trademark.

Norman Otis Richmond, whose program Saturday Morning Live has been on the air for many years, welcomes the discussion by saying “Caribana needs to be discussed because of its historic, economic and cultural importance to the Black and Caribbean community.”

Listen to the broadcast live by logging on to www.ckln.fm at 12pm EST, 5pm GMT, 9am PST.

Classic Friday - She Purposely Kills!

Greetings!

 

When you hear the words 'black widow,' there

are three things that (usually) come to mind.

One is the character 'Natasha Romanova,'created

by Stan Lee for the Marvel comic series.  Second

might be the spider known for consuming her

male counterpart after he has courted her.  In

crime, the term 'black widow' is given to women

who kill their husbands for financial gain.

 

In Dancehall, when we say 'Black Widow,' we're

referring to the 1998 riddim produced by Shane

Richards for the Shines Record Label.  The

riddim was also co produced by famed duo

Steely & Clevie.

 

The riddim featured Beenie Man, General Degree,

Daddy Screw and Terror Fabulous, some of

Dancehall's greatest talents!  Some of the sweetest

aspects to the riddim is the bassline, organ riff

and the off beat of the drum pattern.  Maddd!

 

In 2007 the riddim was re-loaded with Bounty

Killer, I-Wayne, Vybz Kartel, Munga and Lutan

Fyah.  How did they do compared to the original

line up?  You tell me!
