Istanbul Revisited

The latest from HennyVault. It's a classic type of roots & one drop riddim, based on the Istanbul riddim from 2005. This is total remake, no original samples used. HennyMan - Istanbul Revisited

Like I see it

Dear christ. This one has the potential to be my fave of the month. Thump, Thump.
The hottest dancehall (Mavado)& reggae (Jah Cure) stars featuring the boss (Rick Ross). Not bad at all.

Inna Di Yard - Spotify Reggae Selection for February 2011

Here's some reggae & dancehall chart toppers of the month selected by Hennyman. This time as a Spotify playlist, enjoy!

Included are all the latest hits from Mavado, Vybz Kartel, Spragga Benz, Aidonia and others. Not to forget my artist of the month I-Octane.

Christmas Vybz

You know that the silent night is around di corner when Vybz Kartel comes up with a new xmas song. This time teaming up with Sheba he's here with "Like Christmas". Maybe not so out there as 2009 with Gaza Christmas when Vybzie was chanting about killing Santa (!), but this time the overuse of autotune mixed with obscene & profane lyrical still makes it a statement for the holiday season. Just plain xmas spirit, seen!

So for your xmas party of choice you can go either for the...

...Clean version


Or try the f****n dutty one for the pure punanny approach

Informer, big chuuuuun

I'm a sucker for this sound, fi real.

Gotta go

This sooo reminds me of the Realest Song but it's still a banger. And those synth arpeggios... Nice. I guess Sean Kingston hasn't got that much to add to this riddim though.

Konshens really has had a lot of killer tunes lately, Good Girl Gone Bad, Winner, Realest Song... He's mos def an artist to follow.

One more sleeper hit

At first this seemed like an ok song, but it really grows after time. Kinda cool mixture of one drop / lovers chorus and Busy's more hectic vocals. Luv it.

Blakkamoore, seen!

This is top notch stuff originating from Brooklyn,
Like we've heard with Major Lazer as well.

This may not be the new year party anthem, but works on many levels still, if you'ree feelin dubby.

Or try this for more dubsteppy version.

Gaza Shop –mixtape out now!

The year's coming to an end so I put together those reggae songs that touched me in 2009. They also happen to be the ones that I’ve been spinning a lot on my dj sets this year as well.

Ok – you reggae nerds might point out that some of these song didn’t actually come out in 2009, but like I said, these are the ones that did the trick for me this year.

We have some banging dancehall tunes, nice rootsy lovers stuff, tasty one drop, fresh tunes & chart toppers, classic riddims recycled, odd choices, hip hop flavoured tunes, funny lyrics & dutty lyrics, newcomers & old timers, but it’s all good.

Friday's reggae tunes

Here's a couple of my new reggae favourites than surely will be heard on friday at Fillarikorjaamo. Ramping Shop has been a huge hit for some time now, but check out Tarrus Riley & Macka Diamond as well, pretty nice stuff there as well. And Movado's ballady chune is big as well.
