  • WATCH THIS: ZJ Wah Wa & Wasp “Clique (Str8 Up World)” Official Video

    Wasp Stings Up Hit-Boy’s “Clique” Beat On The Madboss’s New Mixtape
    Wasp2Boom

    Wasp is one of those artists who’s been doing his thing long enough to have a few hits under his belt and a little bit of buzz—yet somehow his crazy skills still go unappreciated. But sometimes a great mixtape freestyle can fix a problem like that. Check out the way Wasp deals with the “Clique” beat—”The one with the curve dem me ah observe them”—on this cut from DJ Wah Wa’s new mixtape Str8 Up World. Wasp is not the first to say “me flow ah de baddest,” but he may just have a point. It’s an eye-opener to witness an undeground dancehall artist ripping up a G.O.O.D. Music track as well as or better than Big Sean, Jay-Z or Kanye. If I had a tune this hot on my hard drive, I’d call The Untouchable Dancers and director Icey Jace to shoot a video too. Two questions: What is up with Wah Wa’s space alien motorcycle helmet? And what’s that thing Wasp puts into his boombox? A cassette!?! Video After The Jump… (more…)

  • HEAR THIS: Miss Lily’s Family Style Vol. 1 “Megamix”

    DJ Max Glazer Makes The Music Play—Right Away!

    Miss Lily’s hasn’t been around much more than a year, but the Houston Street hotspot is already an NYC institution, bringing yardstyle food, music, and vibes to Gotham City residents. When the good folks at RadioLily.com aren’t playing the people’s music (night and day) or playing host to reggae royalty that passes through Miss Lily’s restaurant (and the next-door chill spot Miss Lily’s Variety / Melvin’s Juicebar) on the regular, they’re hosting art exhibitions, publishing recherche books, and curating reggae-dancehall-soca anthologies like the oh-so-crucial Miss Lily’s Family Style Vol. 1. Peep my liner notes below, and keep clicking for a full track list and a taste of DJ Max Glazer’s murderous megamix.   Audio After The Jump…

  • WATCH THIS: Lady Chann “Feel Calm” Video

    Lady Chann Reminds Us How Love Really Feels

    When you think of Chann you think, “what lyrics is she murdering now?!” Back when we reasoned with her in the summer she spilled the beans on getting into it with the girls, bad choices of boyfriends, how she went from a Baby to a Lady—and then some! Last month the UK’s finest dancehall Lady released part 3 of her mixtape trilogy “Dun Dem Season,” and vouching from personal experience the launch showed her at her best—on fire—and witnessing her doing her thing LIVE is a whole next experience. The girl sure can spit some lyrics but she forgot to tell us she has a sweet voice too! Singing over the riddim for Gyptian’s “Hold Yuh” she tells a tale of a man who’s down for his lady no matter what—and how that makes her feel. If you ain’t got the track already download it below. In the meantime, check out the visuals for “Feel Calm.” Sit back & take the edge off—we all need to do that sometimes. Video after the jump… (more…)

  • DOWNLOAD: Tommy Lee vs G Starr Mixtape

    The Gaza Spartan and The Gully Starr Go Head to Head On New Mixtape

    Tommy Lee has had the dancehall world polarized since he stepped on the scene. Some love him for tunes like “Pussy Mechanic,” “Uncle Demon,” and “Psycho.” Other wonder if he really is psycho—like for real. But there’s no doubt that he’s repping hard for the Gaza. Meanwhile G Starr has been repping the Gully for a minute now and even dropped his own mixtape back in 2010. He hasn’t quite blown up yet—maybe it’s the dancehall illuminati‘s fault—but now Selector Jiggy has him going track for track with one of the hottest youths in the game. So who badder? Let the people decide. Audio after the jump. (more…)
