Barrington Levy - Watch Dem ft Snoop Dogg & MIMS

Thursday, 22 April 2010 0 comments

If any of ya'll know about old skool reggae you will Barrington Levy... HE IS OLD SKOOL! But he's been brought back this year by Snoop Dogg and Mims on a remix on one of his 80's track 'Murderer'. Now the original is hard! So if you don't know about Barrington I advise you listen to it first before you listen to the remix. There is nothing new about artist remixing old reggae tracks and bringing them back into the lime light through hip hop, The Game did this with Junior Reid's original song 'One Blood' a few years back as well. But THIS remix is the baddest thing I've heard in a while! Which is why it's my 'One Top Watch' today. Have a listen below and let me know what you think.

One To Watch - Smiler

Saturday, 17 April 2010 0 comments

My 'One To Watch' This week goes to Smiler. With his video to his new single 'Enza' only being out for a little over 10 days and already receiving nearly 20,000 hits is a big accomplishment for a relatively new artist. He released his free mixtape 'Clarity' a few months ago and since then he has realised one other video (for a track called 'Clarity') in promotion of the mixtape. Breaking through into such a cut throat industry with only a mixtape, video and your swagger to hand is a difficult task but Smiler makes it look ENZA...
