J.A.E. - Rollin' Explicitly!

What it do Famous Facers?!  One of our Famous Face favourites, Mr. J.A.E. has passed through to drop off a new chune called Rollin' which is explicitly HOTTTT!

So far we've heard J.A.E. "Put In Work" with Fatman Scoop for a feel good Hip Hop jam.  Then we heard him with a pinch of 'yard' flavour on the Reggae-ish "Drumma Base" which hit the spot.  Soon after came the "Runaway" freestyle, and now comes the explicit chune "Rollin'" which we love!

Hoods in every state can break they neck to this joint.  J keeps it real, and comes raw showing he can switch up from 'pretty boy' dude to hardcore if called upon, and we're appreciating that swagger!

Click on the title below to cop "Rollin'" and make sure you send us feedback so we can pass it on.  Ya heard?!

P.S.  For all the hardcore mixtape kings and queens, and for after hours mixtape radio dj's, this chune goes perfectly with Rick Ross's "BMF."  Don't sleep....



The Best of England & Barbados Presents: Biggie Irie - Let's Stay Together...!

Greetings!
 
One of the best artists to come out of Barbados
is the 'Big Papa' of Groovy Soca and Lover's Rock,
also known as Biggie Irie!
 
If you dig deep into Biggie's history, you'll discover
that he was born in England, and at the age of 3
moved to Barbados with his mother, hence the
Groovy Soca and Lovers Rock combination!  Today,
Biggie makes his debut to the network in the Lovers
Rock lane.  The chune is called "Let's Stay Together"
and it's guaranteed to be a hit record!
 
Performed to the familiar one drop classic riddim
based on Alton & Hortense Ellis's "Breaking Up Is
Hard To Do," Biggie's variation turns the wording to
emphasize on staying together and loving forever as
opposed to breaking up.  His sweet voice is clear
and believable and makes all women reconsider
the decision to leave!
 
This chune is a must play for your Lovers Rock
segment on radio, via mixtape, or as a early warm
session in Dancehall!
 
Broadcasting at 320kbps, catch Biggie Irie and his
brand new hit chune "Let's Stay Together" here:
 
P.S.  Download bonus!  "Nah Goin Home" ft.
Maximus Dan which was the 2007 International
Groovy Soca Monarch in Trinidad & Tobago!

Classic Friday! That's Entertainment!

Greetings!
 
As we continue to explore classic riddims from
the 80's, we can't go any further without highlighting
the Joe Gibbs produced Entertainment Riddim
which was produced for the Powerhouse Record
label.
 
Created and voiced in 1983, Mr. Gibbs chose a
few artists for the riddim, and the few he chose
made it 'institution' for Reggae DJ's and selectors.
 
The Crown Prince of Reggae, Mr. Dennis Brown
sang "Love Got A Hold On Me" so sweetly, that
the chune became an instant classic.  Lady Ann's
"Informer" did the same as did Tristan Palmer's
chune "Entertainment" for which the riddim was
named.
 
Continuing the historical roots and significance of
the Entertainment riddim, Mafia McKoy remade
the riddim for his Loud Disturbance Records
and called it the 50 Pound Riddim.  This riddim
was the last riddim that the late great Sugar Minott
voiced on before he sadly passed away.
 
Broadcasting at 320kbps, catch the original Entertainment
riddim produced by Joe Gibbs for Powerhouse Records
here:
 
P.S.  In case you missed it, you can catch the just
uploaded interview with Mafia McKoy - Part 1 here:

From Farrin Comes The Mad Man

Greetings!
 
Depending on your perspective, you could say
that some of the 'maddest' people come from
'foreign.'  Their outlook on life, their attitude's
towards others ... all of it just mad!
 
Farrin Records from Jamaica, produced the
Mad Man riddim which is very much mad!  This
up-tempo Dancehall riddim is an warm up, and
call for all dance crews to hit the dance floor. 
It's also good for the video man, and him filming
people just catching the vibes of a dance!
 
Some of the artists on the riddim include Skalla
Lee, Lexx and Madd Anju whose chunes are
certified MADDDDDD for real.  Also included
in the download pack is the riddim version.
 
Broadcasting at 320kbps, catch the Mad Man
Riddim produced by Farrin Records here:
