Popcaan – “Everything Nice” (Video)

Another good video from Popcaan for his Mixpak single release. Now when we say good, I really mean the camera work and process of a video as it compliments the tone of the song. Very few times in the ‘entertainment’ industry does the hype match the content and this time the lack of excitement was the correct way to highlight this song… #Salute

The Dividends – “Fool’s Gold” feat. Raekwon

artworks-000064634634-9sqeut-t500x500

The Dividends (singer Sarah Jaffe + producer S1) recruited Raekwon for some Wu spice on a reggae-bouncy single off their upcoming EP “Far From Away” (due out 2014). The infusion of a raw rapper can switch the flavor of a track in an instant… mellow, and then BOW! Smooth with the roughness to finish. But this “Fool’s Gold” good stuff nonetheless.

Jah Prince spins at Face Off Fridays, MJQ Concourse, Atlanta – the 2nd Friday of every month and then 2nd Saturdays, Vibes Night Club in Decatur, GA. He also is the DJ for Art on the Wall, every other Thursday at HOBI – and this is “not your average art show”.

Politics: Saudi Artist & Activist ‘Hisham Fageeh’ Channels Bob Marley With His Viral Internet Hit “No Woman, No Drive” (Video)

Interesting. To be certain, this women’s rights issue-driven video could have been delivered with a more serious tone; but 26-year-old Saudi comedian/activist Hisham Fageeh likely ‘toned down’ his Bob Marley-inspired song “No Woman, No Drive” – as to be too fiery would put the performer, and any involved with the vid’s production/distribution, under fire.

A couple of months [after the “No Woman, No Drive” song was created], Twitter was abuzz with talk that Saudi Arabian women would defy the ban on driving by mounting a demonstration on October 26, Fageeh and his two friends, Saudi musicians Fahad Albutairi and Alaa Wardi, decided to produce a video to coincide with the day of protest.

– The Daily Beast

I like that this points out injustice, then pokes a stick at it… in sort of a fun way, but even that is done with substantial socio-political risk. On another note, Fageeh’s pretty good for someone who “doesn’t really listen to music.” Dude definitely getting his Bobby McFerrin on (e.g. with the ‘body music’ with a message). Wonder if there will be any ‘response videos’ from pro-conservatives of Saudi?

While the Saudi government officials issued harsh warnings to political dissenters or anyone supporting female drivers, there have been no reported arrests or fines, and the young comedian says he’s not afraid in the least. So far, he tells The Daily Beast, he’s gotten “nothing but love” in response to the video, from everyone from Saudi grandmothers to New York hipsters. “It resonated with people,” he says. “It was relevant to them.”

By the way, you can buy the track (name your price)…

R&B: Estelle – “Be In Love” feat. Jeremih

estelle-jeremih-be-in-love-single-leadAs a fan of reggae/dancehall & dub music I can really appreciate when good singers get together over this type of island breezy production. British singer Estelle enlists fellow R&B singer Jeremih to get down with her on this “Be In Love” track from her upcoming “Love & Happiness: Vol. 2 Waiting To Exhale” EP that will be released on her own label imprint New London Records.  I’m feeling the latest push by a number of true R&B/Soul singers taking chances with more island style production in their music.

Say Grace For The Pum Pum (Video)

ANOTHER hilarious video from Roger B, ‘A Cunnilingus Prayer’ covers healthy behavior of adults and how men need additional protection from the most high! Eating aka nyam-ing and the stigma facing Caribbean men/women is still a personal choice and this just adds to the jokes DJ, selectors and bloggers will chat-bout for the rest of the summer, however could this become the norm?
