Tifa Does Her Ting In The Boxing Ring
Last month we caught up with Tifa for an interview that touched on all the drama amongst ladies in the dancehall. Now comes this video, which was filmed at the Stanley Gold boxing gym in downtown Kingston with members of the Jamaican national female boxing team. (Tifa came up with this concept herself.) During our chat she broke down her feelings on what’s been going on from her perspective—and judging from this tune on Dre Skull’s Kling Klang riddim, she ain’t about to lie down and be stepped on. Don’t miss the warning: “Which gyal want competition? She better know me ah whine weh her man… you never hear ’bout me ‘Matey Wine’ song?” Draw your own conclusions. Video After The Jump… (more…)

WATCH THIS: Snoop Lion ft. Mavado & Popcaan “Lighters Up” Official Video
East Side West Side Gully Side Gaza… Snoop Lion Sparks A One Love Jamdown
As a hip-hop O.G. Snoop lived through the East versus West rap wars, and witnessed the tragic events that resulted in the death of two great artists. In 2013 Snoop Lion’s older and wiser, so there’s a certain poetic justice that his song “Lighters Up” should end up bringing together artists from the Gully side and the Gaza in musical unity. Now the video has dropped and it looks like everybody had a good day blazing trees at Trident Castle in Port Antonio. They even invited the Tivoli Gardens marching band out to make a joyful noise. Looks like it was a good day. Video After The Jump…

David Constantine Brooks may have as many aliases as he’s got girls. We already knew about Singing Blacks, Gully Gad, Star Bwoy, Stulla, and Real McKoy and but on Mavado’s new tune he lets us know about a few new names: “Mr. Lover Lover,” “Hot Bwoy,” “Mr. Louis Vuitton King,” “Mr. Gal Criminal,” and of course there’s the title of this crazy new tune on Gutty Bling’s “Sneak Preview Riddim.” Fellas, you have been warned.

HEAR THIS: Konshens “Just A Dweet”
Don’t Ask How He Does It, Just Be Glad He Does
Konshens is putting in way too much work to pay much attention to what the haters have to say. But he does have a little fun with them on his latest release, a wicked tune ob the big bad “Red Brick” riddim. “Dem siddung and count how much money me collect,” he rhymes. “Carry my name to obeah worker but it spell incorrect.” The ever-confident Sojah goes on to suggest that “if me even cough on a track it connect.” Luckily he hasn’t tested that theory yet.

HEAR THIS: Freddie McGregor “Equal Rights”
A Fresh Take On A Studio Classic Off The New Album, Di Captain—In Stores Today
“These songs were very specially chosen,” says reggae stalwart Freddie McGregor of the selections on his latest album, Di Captain. The album’s title refers to Freddie’s signature hit “Big Ship,” also the name of his renowned Kingston recording studio, whose name has been kept hot by his music-making sons Stephen “Di Genius” and Chino. “We took the greatest pains in making sure these would be classic songs that will last for a long time. I chose songs like ‘Equal Rights’ because I love the message and because the youth need to hear it. Featuring live bass and harmonies by former Heptones frontman Leroy Sibbles himself, this remake of a song that was first released in the midst of the Civil Rights struggle is more than a cover version; it’s a celebration.

Tony Matterhorn Kills Them With Classics At P Diddy’s Bad Boy Sound Clash
Diddy Jetted Down To Kingston JA To Bless The Winner With $20,000 Prize Money
It’s not every day that Puff Daddy jets down to Jamaica to throw a soundclash. But earlier this month he did just that, with a little help from Downsound, the same folks who teamed up with Supreme Promotions to make this year’s Sting extra-hot. Word is the whole plan came together within 24 hours, but you know what they say… real Bad Boys move in silence. Diddy kicked things off by rocking a few of his classic cuts, then he was joined by Beenie, Flippa, Kippo & Ninja. (Diddy’s pretty much done it all, but he looked genuinely geeked to be rocking a stage in Kingston.) After that it was time for the big clash, and Matterhorn dealt with them wicked.

Case in point: the little-known Right Now album, an overlooked treasure that was recently reissued by Greensleeves. This Jah Screw production was record, voiced, and mixed at Channel One studios with killer riddims laid down by Roots Radics and the We The People band. These sounds are so nice we had to give it to you twice. Audio After The Jump… (more…)
