"Vendetta" Corleon is running things in NM in May with two different
riddims. Last month's #1 dropped down to #3 and a brand-new Beenie Man
on
the red-hot JONKANOO riddim has taken over. While we're still awaiting
the
APPLAUSE to hit, the JONKANOO has conquered NM on the air-waves &
in the
dancehalls alike. It is no surprise to find no less than 5 tunes on the
riddim in this month's top 20 alone. Don Corleon's roots selection, the
DROP LEAF is still going strong as well with 2 tracks on the current chart
and quite a number of others just bubblin under.
Due
to the more current tracks, the KOPA also refuses to quiet down out this
way, as evident by the likes of Bounty (at #10), Sean Paul (at #12) and
Tami Chin (at #15). Next bad bashment riddim comes on the Ghetto Youths
label. Don't know the name of this one (could just be a one-pop at this
point) but the Damian Marley plus girl track is murder and so is the riddim,
so how
bout a few more songs on the beat, youths? It's on the flipside of Junior
Gong's "Welcome To Jamrock", which is HUGE out here & the
hype of which was only pushed further by his live-performance in NM in
May. Looking for this one to still hit the jackpot out here.... Gibbo's
HARD TIMES riddim is hitting hard as well, with I-Wayne, Capleton, Luciano
& Bascom X doing the honors. Christopher Birch's MILITARY with Macka
Diamond & the sweet voice of Mister Easy, together with the heavyweight
tag-team combination of Lady Saw & Remi Martin (on a re-worked version
of the TIAJUANA beat) close things out this time around.
Tons
of new material on the way (as usual). Looking forward to Snowcone's
APPLAUSE, Birch's MY SWING (hallelujah!), Gibbo's HARD DRUGS and a few
cuts
of South Rakkas new BIONIC RAS also sound promising! Until such time:
