Yow!
3 months in a row now for Junior Gong at the top. Air must be gettin'
thin up there! After the success of the MY SWING riddim last month (whichstill
has a number of tunes bubblin under & is bound to return to this chart),
Chris Birch (alongside Ward 21's Suku) is back with a vengeance in August
with his red-hot BOUNCE riddim. Leading the way is the prophet Capleton
who can still hype it up better than the rest of them with "Tek Weh
U AK", which has classic lines & delivery (minimalistic style)
like"no
bother get mi short temper, nuff a dem nah have no sense yah, not even
little common sense yah, no bother put it ova di wall an mi sensor, how
much
innocent life gone a trench yah." Also mashing up NM dancehalls &
airwaves
are tracks on the riddim by Lady G, Voicemail, as well as a naughty Sizzla.
Birch continues to be on fire in 2005!
The
DROP LEAF & the HARD TIMES are gone, the SEASONS continues to barely
bubble under, yet still never quite seems to mek it, so thanks to Frenchie
& Bad 2000, who re-voiced the WORLD-A-REGGAE-MUSIC beat (and re-titled
it the WORLD JAM), the roots flag continues to fly high in New Mexico.
Wicked tunes are served up here by the hardcore crew around Bounty Killer,
Anthony B and newcomer Prilly Hamilton. Rocky Gibbs MUST GET A BEATEN
continues to do well out this way with the most crucial combination-tunes
of 2005 (featuring Peter Tosh alongside Buju and Junior Reid alongside
Capleton), as is Mister Perfect's legendary "Handcart Boy".
On
the dancehall front, Mista Wilks MARRY WANNA (or Icebreaker) is crusing
nicely, with Doctor Evil's hilarious "No STD" on which Lefteye
sounds like the yard version of Eminem, the title track from Wayne Marshall,
as well as with the Red Square Crew (Briggy Benz, Natty Chris, Greg Hines
& Sugar
Slick), who sound like they could follow in the footprints of TOK to become
one of Jamaica's hottest dancehall crews in the future. Jah Snowcone's
APPLAUSE still causes a stir in the Southwest with Sizzla, Shane-O and
Ele representing, and Assassin just bubbling under. Shaggy has an excellent
new cross-over track out with Olivia, which is running up & down commercial
& hurban radio out here, and Vybez Kartel finally has a next anthem
with "Emmergency" on the fresh SIREN riddim. Rounding out the
vibes this time is the reggaeton remix of Elephant Man's "Rah Rah",
featuring Daddy Yankee and Pitbull.
Bless,
