Yow!
Yow!
After last month at the second spot, newcomer Gyptian has laid claim to
New Mexico's highest region. Serious lyrics in these here serious times,
as "seven times rise and seven times fall but I dont believe in the
falling things at all." Trinidad's ganja farmer Marlon Asher climbed
into the runner-up spot, while singing-bird Alpheus has also made yet
another move, lifting him even higher than ever before on the excellent
re-creation of the OPERATION ERADICATION riddim. Young gun QQ has two
extra conscious tunes on niyahbinghi beats at #'s 6 & 8 respectively,
while Perfect's "Grow Yuh Natty" is still kicking around these
parts as well.
Damian
Marley just won the 2006 reggae grammy, and while his "Welcome To
Jamrock" has exited these charts finally, a new combination featuring
the warlord along with the mouseketeer enters at #17. I heard "Welcome
To Jamrock" played during several NFL play-off games in the stadiums
during breaks (one time @ Chicago's Soldier Field esp. still rings a bell),
which is a definite indication as to just how big the youngest Marley
artist has become even outside of the reggae industry.
On the dancehall scene, the new BAM BAM on Taxi is still tuff, lead by
the magnificent Bounty Killer/Bunny Rugs combination and followed by Chaka
Chaks, Future Troubles, Conrad Crystal alongside Sugar Roy as well as
Sasha with Justice. Wicked piece-a-riddim STILL!!! In Time Music's hot,
new "street-sweeperish" JUMP OFF comes roaring in, courtesy
of Kartel's extra-hype "Ni Ni Ni Ni" (re-titled "Realest
Thing" by the Greensleeves-licensing crew), as well as Idonia's "Cardinal
Point" Ele's "Cho Cho Cho" and Vegas & Lexxus' "Cant
Get We Down". Mista Wilks ICE CUBE is still strong, as is Ele's "Willie
Bounce" and Leftside & Esco's "Tuck In Yuh Belly".
Bless,
