Mavado

AAAAANNNNNNNNYYYYYYYYYYWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYZZZZZZZ

Bad People Riddim

I'm going on record and saying that this riddim is going to run the road HARD.

All the versions I've listened to are really good. I can't say who has the best tune on it. So I'm going to go with the Aidonia one, but check the Beenie Man, Busy, Baby Cham, and Mavado ones too.

Run it!!!!

Heavy Manners x Sizzla

Here's a little re-up on the mix we did with Sizzla and Tribe of Kings.

Last Man Standing!!!!!

This tune is still running the road in JA and for good reason as it is probably one of the best clash tunes ever recorded.

But this video is almost even better. Check the one minute mark when they took Mavado's face and out it over some frightened soldier from Saving Private Ryan or Band of Brothers. I can't really tell.

Thank the almighty for the internet.

Bad Man Photoshop

So I was looking for the "Last Man Standing" tune by Vybz Kartel last night and I came across what appeared to be Vybz's 25th myspace page. After clicking on the pics I found a folder with all these photoshop'd images of him and Mavado. Obviously these were created post Sting, but I couldn't help but post these things.

The last flick is just of Vybz from Sting, but I just thought the whole coffin thing was creative.

2009 is going to be so good for dancehall. Quote me.

Sting 2008 and The Party Keeps Moving

When it comes to dancehall business there is always one person who I can turn to when all other roads have failed.

Hugh Knight a.k.a Unite

Unite has been juggling 45's since well.....probably since he was born. So whenever I need answers or a tune I just simply ring him up and it's sent to my email no questions asked within the hour. Well as long as he has time between rolling spliffs.

That being the case it is vitally important you check his blog frequently as it is one of the best places to get dancehall news, tunes, dubplates, history etc and if that isn't enough he has you covered on hip-hop, funk, soul, and even a little graff business from time to time. So if you're not sold on that just check him yourself at his new url:

PartyAt45RPM (now on WordPress)




P.S Also check out the newest Vybz Kartel tune he posted because that tune is gonna run the road for sure after the dust settles down from the Mavado vs. Vybz clash at this year's Sting 2008.

Sub-note: After watching the youtube clips of the clash and the listening to the full audio I am going to be diplomatic and say I don't think either artist really displayed any ability to throughly control the crowd over the other. I think Vybz was more articulate with his chat and Mavado sounded a bit inexperienced to tell you the truth. But in the end I'm just sort of disappointed with both of these deejays. This clash doesn't hold a candle to any of the big Sting moments from the previous years. Ninjaman comes out at the end and has the best line of the whole clash "Me suck yu motha, but yu motha suck me." Classic Ninja f*ckery. Gotta love The Gorgon.

Beast Riddim

As promised the Beast Riddim Pack. I'm really liking this riddim and everyone has a pretty decent tune on it which is always good.


I'm gonna try and post up more riddim sets as I come across them so get used to it. Check the track listing above for what's in the pack.

Mavado and Vybz Kartel Beef

Hopefully this just sticks to wax, but I doubt it.

These are some big tunes. The video is lame, but listen to songs. I will post up the tunes in a bit, but for now just sekkle!!!

Vybz Kartel

I don't know anything about this tune other than it RAMSSSSSS.

Unite feel free to give me the background.

I believe it is on Red Alert Riddim and it sounds like some Mavado diss f*ckery which I can't support seeing as people can get killed in JA over that idiot boy beef.

For those not into dancehall culture when artists beef in Jamaica like Vybz and Mavado or Bounty and Beenie Man you can get blasted just for taking sides. No joke business.

Mavado Arrested

Looks like Mr. Gangsta 4 Life a.k.a Mavado finally got caught up.

He walked into custody himself and the charges stem from an incident from last year. We'll see what happens. It could be some rap actor bullsh*t since a lot of dancehall artists want to be so American these days. By being "american" I mean going to court for stupid sh*t.

Can everybody just stop shooting each other?

Mavado "Last Night" Video

Ed* Surprisingly decent video from Mavado. I say surprising because dancehall videos usually have 1/10 the budget of their hip hop counterparts when it comes to videos, seen?
