Busy Signal “Mystery History”

Monday, January 7th, 2013

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…

Midnight Raver’s Selection Mix: Barrington Levy

Sunday, January 6th, 2013

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.

Cham – “Lawless” Video.

Thursday, November 29th, 2012

via Boomshots. Check the video 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.

More New Music Busy Signal – “Come Shock Out” + Interview with CVM TV’s Onstage.

Less than ten days after being released from prison in the US, dancehall star Busy Signal has returned to Jamaica and asserted his presence with “Come Shock Out,” a real uptempo feelgood song that pays tribute to 80’s sound system deejays, and a time when it was just one turntable playing in the dance. Shouting out his peers and his elders alike, Busy channels the sound of some of dancehall’s greatest rhythm riders from the 80’s, including the late Early B, Lord Sassafrass, Burru Banton, General Trees and even Sancho, as producer Shane Brown plays bits and pieces of Dennis Brown’s “Revolution” bass line—and which Busy Signal rides like a professional disc jockey in the Jamaican sense of the word.

A song that will definitely find favor with older dancehall heads and school a lot of young fans, “Come Shock Out” will likely have many current deejays imitating Busy’s throwback style very soon. The only thing missing from “Come Shock Out” is Joe Lickshot with some verbal gunshots: “Peeoow Peeoow Peeoow!”

Check out his interview with with Winford Williams on CVM TV’s Onstage below and after the jump…

That first tweet when he touched back down on Jamaican turf was nice. Last night’s press conference was sweet. But nothing beats the feeling of hearing Busy Signal’s first new release since his own release. No surprise he sounds like he’s got a lot to get off his chest. “Me just jumped out and me ready, go tell the whole world say me ready.” His fans are ready for sure. Hope the whole world is ready too.
