Here is the follow up to Trinidad James’ All Gold Everything club banger – now its time for the remix. Initially I heard reports about a 17 verse remix but this version only has T.I., Young Jeezy and 2 Chainz on the track. Maybe this is just an appetizer…
When Busy took the stage at Jamworld, he came fully equipped with new songs—and none more crucial than
“Mystery History,” the most detailed musical account yet of Busy’s arrest, case, and legal struggles. Opening with the sound of a jet plane, the tune breaks the whole story down before giving thanks and praise to the Almighty for securing Busy’s release from prison after just six months. Audio After The Jump…“Informer call me name, Jah know the bwoy dem sail me out.” Run the track…

VP Records has outdone itself with Barrington Levy: Reggae Anthology: Sweet Reggae Music. This 2 CD set is stock full of those heavy riddims that we cut our teeth on as reggae fans. Familiar tunes like “Shaolin Temple,” “Mary Long Tongue,” “Poor Man Style,” and “Black Roses” showcase Levy’s unmistakeable wail and his uncanny ability to paint a vivid picture of life in the ghetto. “No weak tunes shall prosper” in this set. You will not find a weak track to speak of here. Just 40 straight skullbangers that will test the physical limits of your headset.
Pusha T and Popcaan collaborated on Pusha T’s lastest track Blocka. This is good exposure for Popcaan but I really wish he got to drop a full verse rather than just vocals for the intro. As for the chorus sounds like a Baby Cham sample a bit to me…. Never the less its still solid work.
The audio and video treats are below.

Cham’s “Stripper Pose” video looks like it had to be one of the funnest video shoots ever. Beautiful girls on a beach with big bass cabinets blasting dancehall—what’s not to like? His song “Lawless” video might be on the same Dave Kelly–produced riddim, but the visuals depict totally different situation. It’s a rudeboy tune after all, a block-by-block survey of which neighborhood in Kingston is the maddest and why. We’re talking black bandanas, high-speed chases, outwitting Babylon at every turn. Fasten your seatbelt.
It’s hard to keep up with the kid. Check out the latest video off his new album, First of a Living Breed, below….
