Yow!
Consciousness has conquered the New Mexico Reggae Dancehall Charts for
the month of November. After a continuous reign of hardcore dancehall
for the entire year (due to the supremacy of the DIWALI and NINE NIGHTS
riddims), the more traditional style of reggae has finally come to the
forefront again. Shocking Murray, a rock-stone voiced dj hailing from
Portland, Jamaica, but currently based out of West-Germany, managed to
storm to the top this time around. His "Woman A You Mi Want"
on the Bazzoka label out of Cologne is a sincere plea to his lady. Who
feels it, knows it. All the power to you bredda! The artist of the month
title Shocking Murray has to share with Warrior King though, who placed
3 entries on this chart, including the runner-up spot. Brian and Tony
Gold have been hard on the come-back trail in 2002. This time they clock
in with a smooth lovers number that is simply "Irresistable".
On the bashment scene, the doctor Beenie Man has returned to doing what
he does best: creating pure party anthems. On the title track of Shocking
Vibes new GOLDEN BATHTUB riddim he sings: "A bun mi chalice inna
mi golden bath tub, (di galis) dem gimme massage and body-rub." Must
be nice. Sean Paul's "Give Me A Light" on the BUZZ riddim is
still on heavy rotation on a number of hip-hop/r&b radio-stations
in New Mexico, while Gentleman's "Leave Us Alone" on the ACID
ROCK is not only tearing up Germany but the Southwest as well. Another
wicked hardcore riddim is Rattler's percussion-heavy DIESEL. Kiprich's
title track has charted, while strong contenders from Elephant, Bounty
& Doolas and Beenie & Vegas are bubbling under. Strong follow-up
to the successful X5 beat earlier this year-respect to the Rattler crew.
Other bashment selections include Anthony Cruz's cover "I've Been
Waiting" (for a girl like you) on the highly rated ENGINE riddim,
as well as Jr.Kelly's "Flippin & Floppin " on a rough, new
beat from the Firehouse Crew entitled LIVE WIRE. The DIWALI is finally
on its way out, with last month's # 1 from Buju dropping down to # 18
and the rest of the DIWALI crew leaving us altogether. It sure was nice
while it lasted.
Still going strong is Tony Curtis' ganja tune "High Grade" on
the Mo Music label, as is a new Fi Wi Music production from Nelly Furtado:
ON THE RADIO. Massive B's fine re-creation of the Roots Radics DUB ORGANIZER
riddim finally charts in the form of King Kong's "Jah Is My Best
Friend". The rest of New Mexico Reggae Dancehall Charts for the month
of November consists of Lion Paw's TRIBAL WAR (with entries from Capleton,
Luciano, Warrior King and a George Nooks/Louie Culture combination) and
Calibud's ROCK ME, featuring material from Terry Linen, Leroy Sibbles
and Leroy Sibbles alongside Louie Culture again.
Bubbling under are a number of tracks on the Morgan family's new NO TIME
beat on 71 Records, as well as some killer tunes on Kickin's newest version
of the REAL ROCK. On the dancehall front, Steelie & Cleevie have released
the follow-up to the awesome NINE NIGHTS called the ONE POP with selections
from Bounty, Elephant, Lexus and Buccaneer amongst others. Dave Kelly's
new riddim WICKED (with tracks from Baby Cham, Frankie Sly and Chico)
has hit the streets as well, so there's NUFF new music out there for you.
Blessed:
