New Dancehall

[Benny B]

Love that bin laden one, was listening to his new album last night and that was one the standouts.
Amazing gaseous production throughout, even though some tracks are a bit half formed (there are 35 of them though).

Don't know much about Jahvillani but how good are these?

Lizzad pon limb - the style a style riddim is very cool and exotic sounding

Smooth - great guest spot from Skillibeng and another brilliantly produced riddim

Mighty, on the private jet riddim

 

[shiels]

Are most of these on Spotify too?

 

[Benny B]

Iwaata - like Rytikal I think he's got a bit of a 90s flow to him at times

Science

Havoc - a collab with Intence

Flutes!

Dues

Yes all of them are. Spotify is great for keeping up with dancehall, seems to have everything. I'll stick up a playlist in a sec.

This playlist has all the songs I've posted so far, I'll keep adding to it

I'm going to get really into it just to become an expert to spite barty

Ill find ones with less than 1000 plays on Spotify and claim they're the "real shit"

Does sound familiar

 

[Benny B]

That tune is magic and I reckon forms a sort of trilogy with Nuh Regular Bwoy and Through The Gate, same soundworld.

Barty's probably pointed this out many times before, but Intence's nasally goblin voice really suits autotune. I watched a video of him doing a freestyle on westwood without autotune and the big reverb and it just wasn't the same.

Loving this new (to me) sound, it sounds like a significant youthful fracture, almost a new subgenre?. Something that maybe has been a long time coming. The sparser productions seem to be a big factor. Interested in how this is getting played in the dance if it is at all.

This is definitely my fave Rebel sixx from Bartys Trinibad breakdown had it on repeat past couple weeks.

CHOPPA RISING: A HISTORY OF JAMAICAN TRAP DANCEHALL - AFROPUNK

Espoused by the likes of Rygin King and Squash, JA's new sound is not Kingston-born, but the product of rural parishes, Montego Bay traps, and scammers.

Did you read this at the time?

 

[luka]

I know an online publication called 'afropunk' doesn't bode well but it's honestly worth reading that for some good background.

 

[muser]

Nope I didn't I'll have a read

 

[shiels]

I was like, fuck I must have been blocked last night no recollection of writing that, doesn’t even sound like me...

 

[muser]

Yeah that was really confusing
