Do You Know How It Feels To Be Ricky Blaze? It Feels So Real
Not only did Brooklyn’s own Ricky Blaze come out of nowhere to produce the year’s biggest hit with Gyptian’s smash “Hold Yuh,” he’s also got the next-biggest tune on that riddim, a love song that wins on the strength of apparent sincerity rather than vocal dexterity. (more…)
The Original Gallis Drops Hits Pon Top Of Hits
Quiet as it’s kept, Mr. Vegas is on a roll right now. From his “Boy Shorts” remix with Teairra Mari to his unofficial remix of Chris Brown’s “Deuces” (which sounds harder than the official one), Mr. Die-Do is in the zone. Earlier this month Vegas passed through a radio showcase for Boston’s Hot 97, where his “Gallis” tune from last year is picking up some spins. But this set was for the true heads. “Nike Air,” “Heads High,” “Pull Up,” “She’s A Ho,” “Hot Wuk”… Catalog, me say. And the man works the stage like a true veteran entertainer. Yes Vegas, yuh Bless fe real!
Online Premiere Of New Video From The Real Sheba & The Warlord
When Sheba Sahlemariam calls herself The Real Sheba, you best believe it. Descended from Ethiopian Royalty (King Solomon + Queen Sheba = Line of King David) Sheba carries herself with a certain majesty, and she thinks about time and space a bit differently than most. (“Yes my love for you can break the bonds of space-time,” she sings…Whoa.) Sheba’s journey this lifetime has brought her all the way from Africa to Kingston by way of Brooklyn, Port of Spain, and parts unknown. In short, Sheba’s uniquely qualified to rock your world. Did I mention she can sing? This sultry lover’s tune with a supernatural twist has been bubbling all year in Jamaica. Sheba says her love is “perfect and divine” plus the Warlord came through to give her the big co-sign. Boom-boom-bam.
Two years later TruckBack’s biggest tune is still clickin’.
