PEOPLE’S CHOICE: “Phat Punani” or “Want Yuh Body”?
Which Version of Leftside’s Tune Is Badder: The Raw or The Remix?
This past June KeepLeft Records released the raw, uncut version of “Phat Punani” a tune that set dancefloors on fire. The song’s unforgettable hook displayed Leftside’s bold sexuality as well as his trademark start-stop cadence. But the producer/artist was just getting started….

HEAR THIS: Bounty Killer “The Message” (Done Talk)
The Poor People Governor Turns It Up Again With Madhouse
Gully Gaad, Warlord, Timberlee, Cham and Chase Cross at Big Yard Studio.
Madhouse Productions’ new “Turn It Up” riddim has been making noise for a couple of weeks already. But the mission was not complete until late last night, when Dave Kelly and Rodney Price finished off “The Message,” a powerful statement that Killer and Madhouse were back in effect—”the link seal and the link real.” And the new lyrics in the full version go even harder…

HEAR THIS: Mavado & Vado “M.O.V.A.D.O.”
Harlem And The Gullyside Link Up: This Could Be A Problem
It didn’t take a genius to see this one coming. Like Mavado, Vado is most hated. And the Dipset’s blazing young gun traces his heritage back to Jamaica too. Vado + Mavado = Certified Boomshot. You knew they had to link up eventually, but who really knew it would be this hard? “I’ma grow my wings again,” the Gully Gaad sings, reflecting on his inability to fly to America due to visa politics. Feel his pain: “The streets, love me dearly. Can’t see me, but I know they hear me.” Then Vado checks in from Dipset HQ and you know what comes next… (more…)
