A couple of days ago, Funk Flex put out his »Who You Mad At? Me Or Yourself« mixtape. It e.g. features the Tedsmooth-produced »Boom Bap Riddim« with tunes from Mavado, Popcaan and Sean Paul.
Should anyone know if/when the riddim gets a proper release, please let us know. In the meantime, check the audio below.
Major Lazer’s second album »Free the Universe« hit the iTunes store today. So far, my favourite tunes besides the singles that had been released upfront, are »Jessica« featuring Ezra Koenig, »Keep Cool« featuring Shaggy, and »Playground« featuring Bugle.
However, the latest video for the album is for »Watch Out For This (Bumaye)« featuring Busy Signal. The Jay Will production pays tribute to the styles and aesthetics of the 90′s dancehall era:
The team even went so far to bring on Earl “Biggy” Turner, the noted designer behind some of the era’s most memorable fashions (for Shabba, etc.), as a consultant. (via LargeUp)
Watch the video above, pass by the Major Lazer pop-up shop at Miss Lily’s if you are in NYC, and check the Major Lazer website for upcoming tour dates.
For their latest Sevens Clash feature, Sean Stewart and Alexander Richter visited Stanley Couch Gym in Kingston.
They caught up with Sakima Mullings and Devon »Concrete« Moncrieffe, two popular fighters, as well as their promoters, Willie Yap and Christopher Brown to talk about the current resurgence of boxing in JA.
It’s a great time for boxing in Jamaica right now. [...] Contender was not the be all end all, so we’re thankful that this Mayhem series started after that also to keep us busy, keep us getting fights, building our record, mastering our skills, so that when we do get on the big stage, the international stage, we’ll be ready and we’re going to bring those belts and titles back to Jamaica.
Soul Force have teamed up with Symbiz to create a dancehall-meets-dubstep remix of Vybz Kartel’s Kingston Story hit tune »My Crew« (Mixpak Records). It features additional vocals from German dancehall director Ronny Trettmann who will drop his debut album »Tanz auf dem Vulkan« on May 10.

Art in the Dancehall – the exhibition curated by Al Fingers and Suze Webb celebrating illustration and design in Jamaican music, from 1979 to the present day – recently hit Subliminal Projects in Los Angeles.
That meant that also some work from SEEN’s GABE was displayed at Shepard Fairey’s gallery and it means that if you are interested in in buying some of his prints or work from other Art in the Dancehall artists like Daniel David Freeman, Denzil “Sassafras” Naar, Ellen G., Jamaal Pete, Peter Edward, Robin Clare, Tony McDermott or Wilfred Limonious, you should head over to the Subliminal Projects online store.
