Ce’Cile – Come Over
Bad Gyal Ce’Cile dropped her Sophisticated EP with producer, ZJ Chrome earlier this month with 8 new singles. One of the standout tracks was a modern Reggae and Dancehall infusion, Come Over. Ce’Cile flexes some slick deejaying bars with her syrupy sounding vocals to tell her lover that she’s as devoted as they come – “Let me come over, rest pon your shoulders, I’ll be your comfort.”
Byron Messia – No More Parties (Remix)
St. Kitts Dancehall artiste Byron Messia flexes his un-ordinary cross-genre style and flow with this playlist must-have, No More Parties, a remix of Coi Leray’s No More Parties with a freestyle video. The young rapper/deejay is caught up with a girl who is simply over going out and wants “no more parties”, instead calls him incessantly to come over. “She have a man though suh don’t tell nobody,” … he picks up a bottle of Bacardi and heads on over.
Zac Jone$ – Lonely
Jamaican artist Zac Jone$ has released the visuals for the second single off his upcoming Man A Yard EP, entitled Lonely. Known for his Reggae and heavy rap infusions, Zac unbridles his effortless flows to share this gentle reminder to embrace the vulnerability that comes with exposing yourself to love in a relationship. Shot between Kingston and St. Ann Bay, Jamaica, the Jesse Suchomel directed music video chronicles the day in the life of a couple who are obviously in love but are at odds. Neither of the two wants to make the first move but in the end, agrees to go for it – a great production watch below.
Rygin King – Dancehall Baddest Ting
The Trap King is trending at the No. 2 spot on YouTube Jamaica with his new single Dancehall Baddest Ting. Rygin declares there’s only one king; the Trap King, Dancehall’s baddest ting, “any other king is a napkin.” He goes on in the song to toot his prestige and affirm that he’s still running the streets since he broke out on the scene in 2018, “Mi dominate the game with some flow dem (other deejays) not creating.”
Intence | Wahs | Invasion | IWaata | Sadike – Yeng Badness
Trending at the No. 3 spot on YouTube Jamaica is this mega collab with Dancehall deejays, Intence, Whas, Invasion, IWaata, and Sadike to demonstrate the meaning of Yeng Badness. If you didn’t know before, it’s an agenda of ‘emptying clips, drive-by shootings and cleaning up their own vicious messes’. In the track, the ferocious five remind the ones wanting to cross them that they are not to be taken for anything less than true villains.
Janeel Mills – In The Ghetto
This might be a song to you but it’s Janeel’s reality she says in her new single In The Ghetto. The track is a relatable series of events for many living in the ghetto with limited opportunities, “Mama work every day and still the bills never pay.” The plot unfolds growing up without her father and fighting thoughts of being a courtesan, “Mi father him never deh deh and I naa go sell my body fi get nuh vanity, soul haffi pure so mi haffi keep mi sanity.” But its Janeel’s will to overcome that is the silver lining – “In the ghetto life it never easy, the struggles dem a beat we but as sure as the sun shine, I’m gonna take what’s mine.”
Capleton – Real As It Seems
Capleton hits the scene this week in another of his virtuous musical preaching on the single Real As It Seems. Leave it to The Prophet to lift you up in positive music, making this one a favorite pick for your playlist. Capleton delivers a calming ballad to foster a clean heart, working hard and earning an honest living. The Tizzy Tokyo directed music video plays like a mini-movie to impeccably capture Capleton’s message, staging visuals of a farmer reaping his crops to sell and support his family.
Teejay – Young Rich
Teejay is young and rich and though this is the reoccurring tune with many deejays these days, the Up Top Boss’s, Young Rich is something you won’t get tired of hearing. Laying down his sweet falsetto tones all the way through on the track, he braggers his richness and magnetic appeal with this particular “browning” – definitely worth listening.
Jahvillani – Shaka Zulu
Dancehall artist Jahvillani sure knows how to construct a gripping narrative, but in this one, he says it’s based on a true story. With director, ShotByDollaz’ assist the music video takes viewers through the hunt to find Shaka Zulu. Not even the curfew can stop their mission, Jahvi rounds up his crew to locate the target and unleash their deadly acts of slaughter. The new production is already a big hit with the fans, it’s now trending at No. 5 on YouTube Jamaica.
Vybz Kartel – Beautiful Human
In our pick on Usain Bolt’s Clockwork Riddim, we’d like to highlight Vybz Kartel’s Beautiful Human which comes along with a new music video filled with intrigue and humor courtesy of Xtreme Arts. This is another of Kartel’s slower records in balladry, spiked with his usual bawdy commands to misbehave and be bad. The scene however portrays a contrasting plot, and is rather set at a pub hosting, “Speed Dating Tonight.” The focus is on a hopeful bachelor who sifts through a series of possible love matches but when he thinks he has found the right one, she runs off with his wallet.
Gage – Word of Prayer
Dancehall singer Gage encourages “just a little word of prayer” to his listeners in this new release. For him, it’s the answer to being a better person and keeping the devil far away but most importantly the reason he has so much to be thankful for. “Our father who art in heaven if yuh nuh busy listen the prayer mi sending. Mi want fi thank you fi all a di blessing since lately that I have been getting,” he croons on the hook to remind us all to give thanks every day.
Chronic Law – Nuh Clown
The Law Boss shares another insightful track, here he is still on a quest to find love, but it seems his recent suitors want to take him for a clown. “Cyan be nuh clown fi nuh body, mi sorry it cyan work… She cold but mi smarter dan me phone,” he says in his usually crafty lyrical delivery. He’s unbothered by the trickery and deceit, “memba say too much gal inna di rass world,” so he can easily move on with someone else.
Deep Jahi – Intergalactic Gad
Dropping his swift Dancehall flows on the melodious Kingston Heat Riddim, Deep Jahi stirs a pretty nice vibe in his single Intergalactic Gad. The deejay proves he’s a witty rhymester with excellent traphall style raps as he dishes his interstellar verses in the single. Listen and watch below.
