Gala & D.N.A. riddims

My Post is a day early but i've got a full day tomorrow.

The first song is WARM UP by Sheba and its ft. Vybz Kartel and its off the Gala riddim. If you like the riddim other songs I recommend are Elephant Man - Another Round, Natel - Pan Mi & ****Vybz Kartel - Oh Dey Gyal. There are more songs on the riddim but these are the baddest.



The second song is JACKET by Assassin aka Agent Sasco other songs on the riddim are: Vybz Kartel - Thank Yuh Jah, Vybz Kartel - No Wild Grain, Bugle - Don't Need Yuh Friendship. If you wondering what a JACKET is, its basically a child that is raised by another father but to qualify the father has to think that its his child he is raising

After an extended absents I have returned and will be posting 2 videos the first one is by leftside aka Dr. Evil not really new but still amazing. Nov. 2009 was the origninal release its on the sick transformer riddim. The next one is not a video, far as I no there is no video but such a sick song its from biggie's duets CD and its featuring Bob Marley sorry if someone had posted it but its such a good song twice may not be enough.









Won't stay away so long next time

Made In Jamaica

So I am thinking that I’ll just post every Wednesday, as oppose to whenever I want just to give myself some order, with the exception of today.

My vision for my second post was something completely different from what I am posting now, I even did the write up and everything but I just think that this is more inspiring and my second post can become my third.

MADE IN JAMAICA is a film directed by Jerome Laperrousaz, I did not know who he was until I saw this film but from what I’ve read he is a really solid guy. This film attempts to show the everyday struggle of the Jamaican people, through the eyes of our biggest representatives in my opinion our music artist. The film deals with everything from corruption to killing. I first saw this film 3 or 4 years ago at TIFF, which I try to go to every year. As far as I know it never got very good reviews as some individuals (critics) felt it just skimmed the surface of the issues and did not go deep enough into what is truly wrong with Jamaica. I’ve never been one to agree with critics so I watched it for myself and was truly impressed, while it did not show the whole picture it left me wanting to find out more about my home country and what plagues it, and what is better than a film that makes one want to do research.

If you ever have the chance to watch it I truly recommend it, the film has some of the biggest names in the business, talking about politics, why they do what they do and what they feel is the hope for Jamaica. I even got to meet Capleton at the TIFF.
The sad part is other than the premier, I don’t think this video has seen circulation but I could be wrong.

p.s. I’ve spent years looking for a copy of this film never been able to find one, so if you know where I can leave a comment, I could download it but it is not the same.

You can check out the main website @ http://www.madeinjamaicamovie.com/index.html it has not been updated recently i check it periodically.



Performers in order by first appearance in trailer I know I got someone wrong, or I forgot someone. So don’t bite my head off, cause I just might respond.

My next post is a two part post. The first part is the promised dance hall post.

ORB first Post

So I’m a big reggae fan, not so much dance hall but reggae has become my passion. Not just any reggae either, it has to be some conscious reggae. You know the kind of stuff that’s going to make you stop and say, “but wait a dat dem a deal wit”, you know the Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Queen Ifrica, and sometimes Buju listen to “Til I'm Laid to Rest”. I could go on and on but you get the picture. Now it has not always been this way, in truth when I came to Canada I won’t lie I hated reggae. I was like a lot of people I know, I would make fun or snicker when I heard some conscious reggae, but after seeing how much my little sister was invested in it. I decided there must be something to it and I started listening to it right away... I wish that was how it happened. It was more like I was upset that my sister who was not born in Jamaica, could listen to something that I felt was mine and love it. Even though I wanted nothing to do with it, I was still upset. So in the end it was more like a one sided competition; me trying to say I knew more about reggae then her, seeing if I could get the latest songs out of Jamaica before her. I can’t really say when it stopped being a competition and I started enjoying the music for itself, but I do know that it eventually became that. I was going to post Tanya Stephens “Do You” but I couldn’t find it on y0utub3, It is a really good song, listen to it if you get the chance. On a brighter note my back up song is a really good song too. My first post is going to be from Queen Ifrica, now no groans or complains just listen to the words and I think that her words are more universal it does not apply only to Jamaica everywhere you look people are dealing with the things stated in the song. It’s called “Keep it to yu self” off the Secrets Riddim, just in case someone is having difficulties I aim to please so translation “keep it to yourself.”
I downloaded some new music the other day I’m also thinking of posting some street dancing videos too some of them are really serious comments please.
O yea LAST THING if it is not on y0tub3 I am not posting it.
